Weird Harvest — Unexpected Results
Hello everyone! Welcome back for another Weird Harvest, where we strive to keep EDH janky. This week I’m going to do something I haven’t done in a while and really step outside of my comfort zone. As you’ve likely gathered I’m mostly an Abzan mage, and I lean very heavily on the Orzhov removal package. […]
Weird Harvest — Every rose has its thorn
Hello fellow jank brewers! Welcome back to another installment of Weird Harvest. Rivals of Ixalan is out and it's time to start brewing with some of the sweet pieces of cardboard it contains. There are some fantastic options for new generals, but only one sparked my desire for jank. Orzhov has always been a favorite […]
Underdog's Corner — Kefnet, the Mindful
New Year, Same Underdogs Hello and welcome back to the first Underdog's Corner of 2018! It's a new year, which means it's likely to look a lot like the last year. It's a time for opportunities to reinvent ourselves, make changes to our lives, and generally try to improve upon the previous years in some […]
Un-Mander Showdown — X vs Sen Triplets
X Gon' Give it to Ya Un-mander is here for only a few more weeks, but before the format goes back to normal, we need to have at least one more silver-bordered Showdown. Unstable gave us a commander that easily wins the Most-Difficult-Card-To-Search-By-Name award: [card]X[/card]. This sneaky Inspector Gadget spoof infiltrates an opponent's hand and plays […]
Weird Harvest — How the Wench Stole Christmas
The Season of Giving (to Me) It’s Christmas time! Normally that signifies a time of joy and selflessness. Forget all that nonsense. This week I want you all to tap into those dark holiday memories, the ones where you didn’t get what you really wanted. If you’re like me, then you probably grew up not […]
Weird Harvest — I've been you
Hello fellow janksters and welcome back to Weird Harvest. In this installment we're going to continue along last installment's idea of running a hybrid Voltron commander. Rather than running Stax like we did with [card]Hope of Ghirapur[/card], we will focus on a traditional control strategy. There were many options available for running a control-centric commander, […]
Weird Harvest — Cyclonic Rift is my Commander!
Welcome back to Weird Harvest, the column devoted to all things jank. This week we have our sights set on an Esper commander that tries to do something on its color identity. I know, the notion shocked me as well when it initially occurred to me. As I contemplated this thought for a bit it […]
Weird Harvest — Hail to the King, Baby!
Last time on Weird Harvest we explored the new lands of Ixalan with [card]Captain Lannery Storm[/card]. This week I thought we would do something a bit different and step away from red and cover a mono-colored deck that is similar, but different enough in focus that it isn't a rehash. Who needs to turn trash into […]
Commander Showdown — Hapatra vs The Scorpion God
V for Venom-Detta Voilà! In view, the vast valleys of Ixalan! However, now that we've arrived at this vivid, vibrant vista, we must veer our vessel back to Amonkhet! We volunteered to visit two voracious veterans before the Hour of Devastation vanishes, and they would be very vexed and vindictive if we vacated our vow. If you, valuable viewer, would rather […]
NEWS — New EDHREC Feature! Themes!
A message from Don, the founder of EDHREC: In this article, Chris is going to go through our new features on EDHREC that revolve around "themes"! I'm really excited about it because there are so many fun hidden archetypes and this should make it easier to find them. Tribes were our first theme and those were […]
