Adam and Lowery are diving into the age-old Commander question — Do you actually need basics in your deck? We’ll be breaking down how many basics you should be playing in 1- to 5-color decks and discussing the pros, cons, and spicy takes on when to skip them altogether. Are fetches, shocks, and duals enough, or are basics still the unsung heroes of Commander? Tune in to hear our thoughts, and let us know how many basics you run in your decks!

🎙️ This week on the #CommanderSmiths #Podcast 🎙️

We dive into the frenzy surrounding the Marvel Secret Lair drop that recently sold out, sparking debate within the Magic community over the scarcity and sales approach for these special releases. This isn't the first time a Secret Lair has flown off the virtual shelves, leaving many fans frustrated by tech issues, site crashes, and limited stock. It raises the question: is it time for Wizards to go back to a "print-to-demand" model instead of a limited run?
