Non-Basically Speaking — Jolrael, Empress of Beasts
Hello friends and fellow tree huggers, welcome back to EDHREC and our continuing biweekly column, Non-Basically Speaking, the series that strives to identify non-basic lands that should be considered valuable staples or hidden gems based on their visibility on EDHREC. Throughout the Non-Basically Speaking article series here on EDHREC it has been a common occurrence […]
Weird Harvest — The Truth is Out There...
There’s something to be said about the unexpected. Since our format is predominantly multiplayer, it has the potential to yield some hilarious results. There’s also something janky about the idea of setting our opponents up to expect one thing and then hit them with another. I recently caught up on a bunch of episodes of […]
Low Market — Greatness, At Various Costs
Karametra, God of Harvests art by Eric Deschamps Greatness, At Various Costs Hopefully I don't sound like a broken record when I tell you that I love building packages (i.e. groups of related cards that can be searched for by a central card) in Commander. "Really Bryce," some of you might say, "I didn't catch on […]
Dig Through Time — Onslaught
Welcome back to another Dig Through Time—I apologize for the lateness of this article. I had some computer troubles, and some issues with work and getting ready for a second child. This week we're going to check out 2002's Onslaught set. Onslaught brought back the cycling mechanic which was first introduced during Urza's Saga, and which we saw […]
Underdog's Corner — Taigam, Ojutai Master
Way of the Fist Hello EDH enthusiasts, and welcome to the Underdog's Corner! If you have never read this series before, I want to wish you a warm welcome and thank you for reading.

Intellectual Offering — Tymna and Sidar
It’s that time again. This week on Intellectual Offering we are going back to IO's roots and examining a deck on a card-for-card basis. Ok, that’s a small lie. This week we examine a couple of decks that are all actually one. This week I’m looking at and , two legendary creatures that are fantastic […]
Ultra Budget Brews — Ixalan
Hello and welcome back to Ultra Budget Brews, the column that plays EDH decks unsleeved like a godless savage, because sleeves are more expensive than the actual cards being played. I could use the previous sentence to segue into a joke about 'protection', but I'd want to find a gif for that and as I […]
Commander Showdown — Kess vs Dralnu
Flashback Attack Almost exactly eleven years ago, the Time Spiral set was released, shaking the world in ways players never expected. 'Timeshifted' cards like and brought the past into the present as temporal rifts threatened to destroy the beloved plane of Dominaria (which we'll return to next year.) If you'd like to know the story behind […]
Commander Focus — Mairsil, the Pretender
Some commanders are considered to be "glass cannons", in the sense that all the offensive power of the deck is concentrated through a single creature. If that creature is repeatedly removed or otherwise subdued, then the deck just stops being a threat. However, if that creature has enough protection or can evade detrimental spells, then […]
