MTG In Quarantine

On today's episode of Control Room, Ryan and I discuss 10 cards at the Uncommon rarity that pack a punch more closely associated with Rare and/or Mythic rarities. The cards are from various points throughout the game's history, and include many different colors and strategies.

On today's episode, Maechael1916 joins me to talk about Kaldheim and the impact of the set in both Standard and EDH. This was a set packed with good cards, and has definitely played a role in shaking up both formats.

On this episode, Ryan from the Commander Cookout and Commander ad Populum podcasts and prolific card alter artist joins me to discuss the art of altering MTG cards as well as the enjoyable experience that is receiving a free preview card from Wizards of the Coast. As part of the discussion, he explains some of the differences between alters and proxies and outlines his creative process from first taking an alter commission to final completion of the project.

On this episode, Lev Dev/PGDHanson joins me to discuss how brewing for a format's meta can differ from jank brewing and work to dispel the myth that players have to brew for the current meta in their format to have the most success/fun.  We utilize examples from Standard, Historic, and EDH to explain the differences as well as the similarities between the two building styles. 

On this episode of Control Room, Ryan and I are joined by EDHRec Content Manager JasonEAlt to build hypothetical EDH decks using some of the tools available on edhrec.com.  We start with a Legendary Creature and then discuss our process for building the deck using our own deck-building preferences as well as the plethora of tools on the website. We then wrap up with a discussion of EDHRec articles/video content as well as some thoughts on MTG Finance.

In Part 4 of the "White in MTG is GOOD, Actually" podcast series, guest collaborators CoachJRo and MonoWhiteBorder and I discuss some of the new card design space that we saw for mono-White in 2020 (the "Year of Commander") and what we liked/didn't like about the directions that the new designs took us as players down.  We talk a lot about recursion, card draw (yes, THAT), catch-up ramp/creatures, and counters, plus some other interesting/novel effects.

On this episode of Control Room, Ryan and I discuss why spending big money on the most powerful cards in EDH is not necessary for winning EDH games or having fun. We argue that building budget decks and/or running functional alternatives to format "staples" can still help you win, even if they are not necessarily functionally better than more expensive cards. We also touch on the Reserved List for a bit.

On today's episode, guest Titanic Ultimatum and I discuss our processes for building budget (less than $50) EDH decks and why we enjoy this particular brewing style. We both use examples of budget decks from our collections to explain our thought processes.  We highly recommend that our listeners give budget brewing a try if they have not already done so - it forces you to reconsider your deck-building process and look for cards that will leave other players at the table wondering what you just played.

On today's episode, guest collaborators CoachJRo, MonoWhiteBorder, and I discuss the teaser post made on Tumblr earlier today (3-19-2021) from Mark Rosewater outlining a few of the cards/design concepts which will be seen in next month's release of Strixhaven. We spend most of our time trying to identify cards included in the post which may have a white color identity (or may be multi-colored with white as one of the colors), as well as some of the other cards/concepts we find interesting.

In this episode, I talk about what I enjoyed about building a mono-white-bordered EDH deck for an uncoming game with podcast collaborators CoachJRo and MonoWhiteBorder in terms of the limited card pool I had access to and the freedom I had to find interesting diamonds in the rough. I have built a Palladia-Mors Naya Enchantress build which runs a lot of enchantments to pump my creatures, and I loved having the opportunity to dig through old cards to find interesting and fun matches for my deck so that it can be competitive and silly at the same time during gameplay.
