MTG In Quarantine

On this episode of Guild Talk, Angelo (the JesGuy) joins me to discuss the U/W pairing that comprises the Azorius 2-color guild. Azorius often gets a bad reputation for being the color of slowing your opponents down, and we dive deeper into the color combination to demonstrate unique ways to build in these colors that don't rely on locking your opponents down. It's a good discussion that you won't want to miss!

On today's Guild Talk, Tyler from the Partners with MTG channel joins me to talk about Rakdos, filled with lots of scary demons and devils. We discuss what interests Tyler about the B/R color pairing as well as how the pairing has "changed" over time with new keywords and directions for decks to go in.

Interested in trying out cEDH but don't know where to start? Scoots joins the show to discuss good starting options for those interested in getting into this side of the EDH format as well and challenges some of the major misnomers about starting cEDH. We then transition into a half-hour discussion about playing bass guitar and the blues, along with flexes of our favorite basses.

On today's Guild Talk, Zach from The Command Dudes joins me to talk about our favorite guild, the Golgari Swarm! Combining green and black, this guild is all about dead/decaying things and oftentimes bringing them back or gaining value when things die. With Witherbloom having changed the color pairing some from Strixhaven, we had a lot to discuss (including how we both got into Golgari early on in our EDH playing careers).

NeoRoyal joins the podcast to discuss Hatebears, which are cards which slow down your opponents while providing you with incremental advantage during the course of a game. Often found at the highest levels of 60-card Constructed play as well as cEDH, Hatebears often receive a lot of distrust because they are commonly associated with Stax strategies which many players do not like to play against. We seek to identify how Hatebears can be used to slow down many common strategies while not preventing other players from playing the game. Also included are a lot of references to Rule 0 in EDH where talking with your playgroup ahead of time can hopefully prevent any situations where feel-bads are common.

Rule 0 is potentially THE MOST IMPORTANT part of the EDH experience, and yet it's often overlooked or ignored when players sit down for a game. Create Commander joins the show to discuss how Rule 0 is the glue that ties the format together and provides a road-map to a more positive play experience.

Andy from The Commander's Forge podcast joins the show to discuss his Linden, Steadfast Queen mono-White deck that focuses on gaining life from attacking creatures and going big with huge beaters.  This episode was inspired by the White in MTG is GOOD, Actually series on the podcast.

On today's episode of The Card-Pool Lane, MonoWhiteBorder joins me once again while driving home from work to discuss Fey Steed, a white creature from the new Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Commander preconstructed decks. Fey Steed provides an interesting effect by offering temporary indestructibility to another one of your creatures, as well as a way to DRAW CARDS whenever a creature or Planeswalker you control is targeted by an opponent's ability. Seems good.

On this episode of the Lightning Build series, DougYNerd joins the show to build a mono-red Aristocrats/"pinger" deck around Ryusei, the Falling Star. Ryusei pings all creatures without flying for 5 damage when it dies, so Doug sought to have sacrifice outlets which the Commander can be fed to in order to wipe the board. There is also a Devil token theme for dealing extra damage, along with Stuffy Doll/Brash Taunter.

With Adventures in the Forgotten Realms set to release later in the week, Commander Theory drops by the podcast to discuss some of the new mechanics/flavor of the AFR set as well as to use as a jumping-off point for discussions about how Universes Beyond could be structured and how it may eventually change the face of MTG. There is some speculation about how things could change and how it might impact the player base.
