Get Commanded!

It's time for some spice! This week, we deposit our hottest takes directly down your gullet; no chewing allowed or you might spit them out (we're bitter)! Are combos boring? Should free spells exist? Is Orcish Bowmasters actually bad?! Listen in, and you just might learn something about what to do with your own hot takes... It's time to Get Commanded!

This podcast is recorded on Wurundjeri Country. This land was stolen, and sovereignty was never ceded. This always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.

I see red, I see red, I see red!! It's time for another instalment in the Colour Philosophy saga, and this time the Space Commanders want us tell you all about the colour of anger, fire, passion and chaos! Why do red be like that? Which colours think red is a bit much? And most importantly, why do my Chaos Warps always flip into bigger threats?? Maybe that's the whole point... It's time to Get Commanded!

How do you notice invisible cards?! This week, we take a look at the crucial variables that hide behind the cards we see all the time, and try to decipher their true value. Some of your favourite cards will surely get analysed, and some of your least favourite, and James almost chokes on his glory! But first, we have to take you all the way back to World War II... It's time to Get Commanded!

James has too many decks! Walt did it, now it's James' turn to give you the run-down on every Commander deck he currently owns, but this time there's a twist; we need to work out which three are going to get the chop! If we have the time, we'll even tell you which cards to chop from your Grand Arbiter Augustin IV deck (all of them). It's time to Get Commanded!

2023! Love it or hate it, you can't deny it was a massive year for Commander! This week, we go over our personal highlights and lowlights from the year, including our favourite sets, cards, new decks and episodes of this podcast! Sadly, there was not any time for mediumlights, but you can refer to the EDHREC page for Jodah the Unifier if you want something really mid. It's time to Get Commanded!

What if Commander was like the gym?! Arnold Schwarzenegger doesn't play Commander, but he should, and if he did, he would surely agree that some of us aren't taking our Commander training seriously enough! This week, we take a deep look at what it takes to be successful in the gym, and whether some of those principles could make us better Commander players. Most importantly, we can get your brain jacked on cardboard!! I don't even know what that means. Maybe my brain isn't jacked enough! It's time to Get Commanded!

How do you defeat your friends?! Like you, we play a lot of Commander, and often it's with our friends, but sometimes it's with complete strangers! How should you change your strategy and approach with people who don't know you? How do we ensure that strangers enjoy the games we play in? Most importantly, why does James always counterspell me?!

Some cards just change the game! Bombs, board wipes and ballistic missiles are all commonly seen in your average Commander game, mostly the first two, but you'll need a missile to deal with a bomb sometimes! This week, we consult the data again to see which cards are warping our games, and how those cards are being answered. If you're a very good little child, we may even give your toys back!

We've been abducted on our own again! This time, Walt is giving you the run-down of his Katilda and Lier deck using the Get Commanded! Rule 0 Template, telling you all about how the deck wins (it doesn't), its consistency (its what now?) and how it prevents its opponents from winning (confusion). Its a Spellslinger deck that's actually fun! (The trick is that it doesn't sling many spells). It's time to Get Commanded!

Learning to play Magic is HARD! These days, so many people are learning to play Magic through Commander, but it can be tricky for a beginner to get their head around all of the complicated cards we deal with on a daily basis! This episode, we set out the Levels of learning Magic, how to level up yourself, and the best order for learning our fantastic game and format. If you're an experienced player, this will still be interesting to you, as this is how we recommend that you introduce your friends to Magic! If you're Sam Black, hallowed be thy name, you are allowed to skip this episode. The narrator extends his hands to the heavens and a lightning bolt smites him, much to his joy. It's time to Get Commanded!
