We'll put a few decks through the grinder against our world-famous pillars to see how they fair in the slaughterhouse that can be... Midrange.

May 05, 2023 Episode 47: Shiny Happy People (Playing Cards)
Disclaimer: if you notice a jump in audio around the 06:30-08:30 mark, it’s because we had a weird corruption and I had to move it ahead to the end of said corruption. Apologies! This week, we are delighted to have the professional human himself, Derek, back on the show to talk about a topic near and dear to our hearts: how to personalize your Magic: The Gathering decks, specifically Pauper Commander. Are you fond of foils? Awed by alters? Smitten by Secret Lairs? Do you want to look pretty while you lose? Look no further! There's a card out there for everyone!
Commander formats are ones of expression and relation, and with the number of cards - and various printings - we have at our fingertips, there are a million ways to explore both of those ideals.
