Some decks we build just fail! Ever have a great idea for a deck, build it, and then realise it's terribly boring to pilot?! Us too! Well, just Walt. This week, we give you some pointers about avoiding 'Grand Designs' and take you through the many, many times we've failed to dodge them (again, just Walt). You can point and laugh all you want, but we've all done it... or you will do it... 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.

Get your Priorities straight!! We're always talking about 'maintaining priority' and 'passing priority' but how do you get it in the first place? Do you buy it in a shop? Does your next-door neighbour have it? Can you lightly roast it in an oven for 23 minutes at 180 (170 fan-forced)? Am I getting warmer? Wait, of course I am, I'm standing next to the oven! None of those questions will be answered, but all of your real questions will be! And then we show you how to make the rules work for you... It's time to Get Commanded!

It's Thrifty Thursdays, the deck!! Made up exclusively of cards from Walt's weekly blog post (plus some well-intentioned cheating) this deck is so cheap it would make Elon Musk cry himself to sleep. Or, you know, make him cry more! Finally, the curtain is dropped away, all of Walt's secrets are revealed, the deck is distilled and purified, and the best part is, you can build it too... It's time to Get Commanded!

Answering more of your questions!! How do you deal with tilted players in your games? Is Swords to Plowshares or Path to Exile the better removal spell?? When will there be merch with Walt's face on it so I can throw darts at it and pretend I'm in a gangster movie?! All of these questions and less will be answered this week, and then we get to go back to the part where we yell opinions and you all just let us, OKAY?! It's time to Get Commanded!

It's the Q&A!!! Is Armageddon okay sometimes?! Which guilds would we join on Ravnica?? Is the term 'vegetable' purely culinary and not at all descriptive of the nature of a plant?? Alright, nobody asked that last one, but we can wait! This week, we answer some of your biggest questions about the format, and also, some of your smallest questions about what sort of doods we are. The answer is large and medium-sized, respectively, as previously discussed. It's time to Get Commanded!

Are we wrong about our Deck Building?! This week, Walt and James take a look at some alternatives to their wildly popular (we assume) Ultimate Deck Building Template, and whether some other content creators might take the cake when it comes to deck building! It's a silly episode, obviously we'll take the cake; who refuses cake?! It's time to Get Commanded!

If the cards are called 'Win More' surely they make you win?! Not necessarily, say these two loveable larrikins who are just tired of winning all the time!! We take a closer look at the cards every Timmy, Tammy, Jimmy and Jammy (your mum?) loves to dream about casting, and why some of them would be better off at the bottom of the ocean where Nezahal could lick them!

Walt has so many decks!! From Selesnya tokens to Selesnya artifacts and everything in between, though mostly not between, Walt has a deck for every occasion, but what are his favourites?
