Welcome back! We hope you are all staying happy and healthy.

This episode, we cover the last of the C20 preconstructed decks. Ezra, Charlie, and Miles break down the Jeskai/Raugrin (Blue-Red-White) Cycling deck. Our commander is Gavi, Nest Warden. Our gameplan is to cycle tons of cards and make adorable Dinocats while we do it!

As of this recording, the upgrades for this deck come out to almost exactly $5.

Today, we dive into the Abzan/Indatha (White-Black-Green) keyword counters Commander 2020 deck, helmed by Kathril, Aspect Warper. We aim to dump cards into the graveyard to harvest their keywords, which we can then place on our living creatures.

Our next episode will be Timeless Wisdom, the Jeskai/Raugrin (Blue-Red-White) preconstructed deck.

See you soon!

How's it going? We're under a shelter-in-place order like many of you, which is not fun. Making this podcast for you has really been great in terms of keeping us mentally sane.

Today, we upgrade Ruthless Regiment, the Commander 2020 Mardu Human Tribal deck commanded by Jirina Kudro. Our gameplan is to create tons of creatures, attack with them, and swiftly KO our opponents. If that doesn't work, we have an Aristocrat style backup plan where we sacrifice our creatures for value and win an attrition-based game.

We've replaced ten cards in the deck. The price for the upgrade is about $5.60.

Enjoy!

C20 is here! Today we make a quick upgrade to the newly spoiled Enhanced Evolution decklist with Kalamax, the Stormsire at the helm. The total price for ten cards comes to $7.50.

We will be following this episode with four others for each of the five C20 preconstructed decks.

We accidentally referred to the deck as the Enhanced Evolution deck. We're sorry for the confusion. The Temur deck with Kalamax is called Arcane Maelstrom.

Hey there! Ikoria has some insane cards that have been spoiled. The team discusses new cards as they are spoilers and discuss the implications of the largest power and toughness granting Aura in Magic's history.

We also talked too long about Dinosaur Turtles. Much apologies.

We converse over the new revelations by Wizards of the Coast about the Commander 2020 product.

Thanks for listening!

Get hyped! Today, the crew freaks out about the insanity that is the first few hours of Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths and Commander 2020. As we recorded, spoilers were dropping left and right, crazy new mechanics were unveiled, and a card was banned in Commander before it was released for the first time in Magic's history!

Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths and Commander 2020 release on May 15th, 2020.
