In this episode, Aggro Jeff returns with fiery form as the crew dives into a classic Tales from the Table, where a perfectly timed Chaos Warp hilariously backfires—as it often does. Then it’s on to a highly requested countdown: the Top 10 Utility Lands in EDH. From game-winning staples to underrated tech, Duncan, Jeff, and Sloan debate what deserves a slot in nearly every mana base and why some lands offer more value than most spells. It’s a blend of chaos, strategy, and table-side storytelling you won’t want to miss!

In this packed episode, Duncan and Sloan cover major shakeups in the world of Commander, starting with a wave of unbannings and Gamechanger list additions(and a couple subtractions) that could shift the format’s balance. They break down the newly revealed Secret Lair Superdrop, comparing each drop’s value (and disappointment), from the high-value “Everyone’s Invited” deck to the barely-burning “Everything Is On Fire.” In Tales from the Table, the crew shares an “oopsie” moment from their local Precon League that proves not every plan survives turn one. Also: Arena’s surprise decision to skip Spider-Man’s cards in favor of in-game versions, and a reminder that yes—auras do target. It’s a full slate of news, value checks, misplays, and Commander chaos.

Jeff makes his triumphant return as the crew kicks off a spicy deck upgrade for Tyler’s Zurgo, Thunder’s Decree brew, helping turn it from a blunt-force budget deck into a finely tuned game-ender. Duncan shares stories and highlights from his trip to CommandFest Orlando, including some standout games and awesome community moments. The crew also checks in on their ongoing Precon League, with new rivalries and wild plays heating up the competition. It’s a mix of upgrades, travel tales, and community-driven Commander goodness!
