Triple Showdown Two months ago, I wrote a Commander Showdown about the reigning zombie tribal commanders, [card]Gisa and Geralf[/card] and [card]Grimgrin, Corpse-Born[/card]. Then Hour of Devastation happened, unleashing one of the coolest and most frightening commanders we've seen in a long time: [card]The Scarab God[/card]. The zombie apocalypse never stops, nor do its commanders. We've been […]

Welcome party people! I hope your release weekends went great for Hour of Devastation with some awesome god-pulls.... See what I did there? "God-pulls?" Because there are gods in the set... You know what, I thought it was clever. Don't judge me. Anyways, this week I get to go back to a deck archetype that everyone […]

Hello friends and solemn guests, 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. Hey all! Wally D. here fresh off of a non, Non-Basically Speaking article. For those of […]

I was involved in a cult once. Usually quite a calculated and reasonable man, one day I learned it was the will of Zedruu that I must submit to. Of course things began harmlessly enough: It is the will of Zedruu that you have... this [card]Pentad Prism[/card]. It is no longer burdened by counters. Enjoy. I will be […]

Welcome back to Ultra Budget Brews, the article series that builds EDH decks where every card costs less than $1. Up to this point, the decks I brewed for this column are ones that I personally owned and played. Writing about these decks was fairly easy, because I had a decent amount of real world […]

A Plague of Locusts Upon Your House Hour of Devastation is almost upon us, and there are some awesome preview cards on the horizon. We've seen Theros gods and Amonkhet gods before, but we've never seen plague gods. Scorpions and scarabs are terrifying, but the one that frightens me most is [card]The Locust God[/card]. This giant insect will […]

[card]Reyhan, Last of the Abzan[/card] is one lonely (and angry) warrior khan. As her comrades die around her, she rallies strength from their sacrifice and inspires the rest of the troops under her command. That inspiration is a fluid that flows from the fallen to the survivors in her presence. Whenever a creature you control […]

This week we get deeply personal on 60 to 100. Not because the deck is inspired by something that I love and have played in depth. Nope. This week we're playing an archetype that I hate with a passion. As a Merfolk player in Modern there is one notoriously bad matchup that I dread. Every […]

Welcome to Hour of Devastation review of blue, where we will take a look at the most powerful offerings from this small set. Maybe I should have said most devastating offerings. I’ll be here all week, or at least until the end of the article. Unesh, Criosphinx Sovereign I would be remiss if I didn’t […]

Horde of Notions art by Adam Rex When you build as many strange decks as I do, you might start to notice a trend: why are all these oddball concepts turning five-color? Five-color voltron, five-color superfriends (i.e. planeswalkers), five-color spellslinger– sometimes, you just want it all. Today on Low Market, we will have it all: […]
