Present Day Artifice Hello, everyone! Welcome to a new edition of the Underdog's Corner! Today you are in for a treat, as I get to cover one of my personal favorite legends from Commander 2018, as well as a commander that I am actually building in paper! I've carefully watched the numbers on EDHREC and […]

A New Shape Greetings fellow EDHREC addicts. Welcome to a new series of articles: Shape Anew. I am Willem-Jan Rensink, and as you might have guessed from that name, I’m from Europe (the Netherlands, in fact). I started playing Magic around Rise of Eldrazi and was immediately hooked. I love all the crazy possible interactions, […]

Annoyin' Noyan Hello, and welcome back to another edition of Ultra Budget Brews, the monthly column that firmly believes that August is the worst month of the year. Seriously, think about it. There are no holidays, you're right in the middle of summer (objectively the worst season of the year), school starts back up, my […]

Welcome to a surprise installment of Intellectual Offering. This is not only a surprise for you, dear reader, but also for me. Lately I’ve been suffering a some Commander nihilism.

This article is […]

New Beginnings Hey Everyone! Kya here once again! I can't believe it's already almost September. I'm going on a fun road trip here soon to head over to Dragon Con, and I hope to see many there! Although I'll be doing a lot there, I'll be bringing my decks if anyone wants to play! Now, […]

Upgrading Your Precon Suppose you just bought a preconstructed Commander deck and you want a rough idea of which five or ten or twenty cards you could add to make it a more tuned and functional deck. Since you're adding cards to the initial 99, you'll also need to know which cards need to be […]

Twin to Win Well hello there! Welcome back to another edition of 60 to 100, the quickest article series around! Not that the articles go by fast, necessarily. However, this week we're definitely breaking down some rapid fire combo decks. Don't believe me? Well, it doesn't take a combo player like DM Cross to appreciate […]

Silver Spellslinging Hello again, all you lovely cardboard-slinging wizards and warriors! My name is Seth Cross (call me “DM”) and this is another installment of the Uncommonders series! For the past few months, we've been looking at the unique phenomenon of legendary creatures printed at the uncommon rarity rather than rare or mythic. The idea […]

Long Live the New Narset You might think she's cute, flying around with an shouting "LOOK AT ME! I HAZ ELDRITCH TENTACLES! I AM EMRAKUL!" and you point and laugh because she's pretending to be Emrakul. Then she attacks you and reveals the top card and behold, it's and you stop laughing, but only briefly, […]
