Get Commanded!

It's Tinkerer vs. Architect! We've been dancing around it, but the truth is that James and Walt disagree on this fundamental question; what should happen to your deck once you've built it? We'll present our arguments, rebut each other, and generally butt heads (we won't rebutt heads though). Who wins? That's for you to decide... 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.

Help us WOTC, you're our only hope! We've been playing Commander for a while, and a lot of cards have come out in that time, but some cards, mechanics and Commanders have just left us wanting more! This week, we run through our personal wishlists in the hope that someone out there at Wizards of the Coast will hear our prayers and ban Sol Ring! Wait, no, that's a different episode. It's time to Get Commanded!

Some things about Commander are BAD! We're usually so chipper and positive, but there are a few things about our format that really get our goat! (looking at you Woe Strider). Come along this week as we whinge about playgroups, power levels, precons, profiteering, and profiteroles (time permitting)! It's time to Get Commanded!

Walt logged fifty Commander games! Ever wanted to know how the average Commander game ends? How long the average game usually goes for? How many unique Commanders you play against? Who you should invite to your birthday party? Those first three we'll answer, for sure! The fourth one is obvious; don't invite us or we'll tell you all about STATS for six hours!!

Some cards are just a bit of a drain! This week, we took a look at the cards that sap our mental energy the most, and why we cut them from our decks when we can. We had a good whinge about Magic design in 2023, but sadly didn't have time to whinge about not being tall enough for rollercoasters when we were six-years-old. That's what next week is for! (This is a lie). It's time to Get Commanded!

Isn't it fun to be bad sometimes?! This week, we took a magnifying glass to our favourite decks that we've built 'wrong', what we've gained from doing so, and why we did it in the first place. We also found a caper in some creme brulee, so that's nice. It's time to Get Commanded!

Sometimes we get mad!! It happens to the best of us, and we really are the best of us (citation needed), so what can we do when we're tilted to reduce the effect it has on ourselves and the people around us? What sorts of strategies do our favourite Commander players employ to make this easier? And, most importantly, do bald people wear hats because they're self-conscious, or because their heads are colder?? It's time to Get Commanded!

What does Black want?! This week, we returned to our Philosophy of Colour series to dive into the most evil (citation needed), destructive (red would like a word) and selfish (confirmed) colour, Black! What sorts of allies and enemies does Black have, and how does all of that play out in a Commander game? Most importantly, those bones in your backyard are a complete waste of good materials...

James has been abducted on his own!! The Space Commanders need him to give the "Command 0" for his Tawnos, Urza's Apprentice deck, so he has 25 minutes to tell you everything you need to know about how the deck wins, how consistent it is, and how it stops its opponents from winning themselves! It's everything you needed in a combo deck, in that it's impossible for Walt to pilot! It's time to Get Commanded!
