This week we’re back with another round of Command Bites — fast, fun updates and bite-sized commentary from across the world of MTG and EDH.

There’s no Aggro Jeff again this week (we assume he’s saving his rage for a future Secret Lair announcement), but the pod still brings the heat.

We introduce a brand-new Card of the Day, spotlighting a spicy pick that’s been making waves at our tables.

And then, at long last, it happens…
Sloan, our resident Avatar superfan, gets one more chance to fully, unapologetically gush about the new set — now that he has finally cracked all his boosters, precons, collector packs, and whatever else he smuggled into the studio.

It’s quick hits, cardboard joy, elemental enthusiasm, and the perfect dose of Sloan-powered fanboy energy.

It’s our Thanksgiving episode, and the table is set for a feast of cardboard gratitude! The hosts dig into what they’re truly thankful for in Magic: The Gathering and EDH — from favorite commanders to beloved mechanics, and even that one friend who always forgets their triggers (but tries so hard).We open up the viewer mailbag, answering questions, giving hot takes, and learning that some of our listeners might need therapy more than deck techs.And yes… Aggro Jeff makes his triumphant return, ready to carve into something other than turkey this week.Finally, we dish out our Top White Cards to Add to Precons — the value-packed, synergy-boosting, “how is this card still so cheap?” staples that turn a decent deck into a danger.It’s gratitude, guidance, and just a little bit of gravy-flavored salt.A perfect Thanksgiving Commander’s Pod tradition.

The Podfather speaks to a rumored scandal that allegedly occurred at the LGS. #Commander #MTG #EDH #MagicTheGathering #Podfather #killandrewfirst

In this episode, the Podfather and Sloan fire through a series of rapid-fire MTG and EDH info bites, each a small news note or update that comes together to paint a bigger picture of what’s happening across the Magic world.

We cover quirky discoveries, meta shifts, new tech, and curious rulings — all delivered in the fast, punchy style that defines our “Command Bites” format. Meanwhile, the Podfather calls out one of the hosts for impeding our most sacred tenet, sparking a playful debate about table etiquette and the philosophy of Commander.

It’s quick hits, sharp insights, and sacred rules broken — a bite-sized episode with full-sized Podfather energy.

This week, we dive into the upcoming Avatar MTG set, breaking down the newest card treatments, fresh mechanics, and the cards we’re most excited to sleeve up. From bending elements to bending mana curves, this set looks wild. 🌊🔥🌪️🪨Meanwhile, Aggro Jeff takes a vacation — literally — making way for Cruisin’ Jeff, who apparently found a way to play Commander on a cruise ship. (If only he’d dedicate that kind of energy to playing at the shop on Saturdays…) 🚢💙The Podfather updates us with the final results of the latest Commander League, including standout commanders, unexpected wins, and who’s walking away with bragging rights this season.It’s previews, planes, and portside plays — all in one episode.

This week, the team dives into new bracket updates, breaking down the biggest wins and misses in the new guidelines! 🏆We talk gamechangers — cards, plays, and strategies that flipped tables (figuratively… mostly). The Podfather recounts a recent match that spiraled into hundreds of tokens, while Sloan drops a pro tip on Commander etiquette that every playgroup should hear.Meanwhile, Aggro Jeff tries not to talk about Secret Lairs… but, well, you know how that goes. 😏Tune in for strategy, salt, and shenanigans — all in one neat little podcast package

This week, we finally don’t talk about Secret Lairs… except to point out that we’re not talking about Secret Lairs. (Progress?)

The Podfather, Sloan and Jeff go over their current decks in rotation — what’s hot, what’s spicy, and what’s been getting shuffled up lately. But something’s… off. Jeff seems a little too agreeable. Could he have been replaced by a pod person? 👽

Plus, we break down a surprisingly tricky rules interaction involving one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle commanders coming out next year — and you won’t believe which one it is.

It’s weird, it’s wonderful, and it’s 100% Commander’s Pod.

This week, the gang dives into the latest headlines from the world of Magic — the good, the bad, and the downright confusing. 💬

For once, Aggro Jeff really is aggro — and you won’t want to miss what’s got him fired up! The Podfather helps sort through the chaos with level-headed insight (and a few dad jokes for good measure).

We’ve also got an update on the Commander Precon League, including how the latest round of games shook out, who’s climbing the leaderboard, and which deck upgrades are paying off.

It’s a mix of news, salt, and shenanigans — the way only Commander’s Pod can deliver.

This week, The Podfather and Jeff dive headfirst into the Secret Scare Superdrop! 👻💀

We break down every card, comparing its price to the closest matching printing we could find — none of that “just any version” nonsense you’ll hear elsewhere. Because when it comes to real values, we do our homework. 💸

No Sloaning us down this week — it’s just The Podfather and Jeff giving their raw takes, their honest assessments, and maybe a few bad puns along the way.

Tune in for real numbers, real opinions, and unreal cardboard.

Episode 84 of Commander’s Pod finds Sloan and the Podfather flying duo once again, fresh from the whirlwind of Magicon Atlanta 2025.
