Smell that? No, not your weird uncle and his "cologne", that he keeps hanging from his rear-view window. Yes, that other smell. The good one. It's that post-Pro Tour smell. Some innovation popped up like I told you it would, and, since I am a man of my word, I'm here to jam the most […]

Too Many Cooks... EDH is pretty great, though I think we’d be hard-pressed to find consensus among the community about exactly what it is that makes it great. Some like to play competitive EDH, a concept I myself find very difficult to grok. Some like to play preconstructed decks or Pauper EDH with only commons […]

Intet, the Dreamer art by Dan Scott Don't Let Your Dreams Be Dreams... Greetings thrifty shoppers, and welcome back to Low Market, a series on budget Commander deckbuilding. Not all that long ago, I sat down to play some Commander with a friend using [card]Intet, the Dreamer[/card] as their commander. Intet is part of a five-card-turned-ten-card […]

Hello Everyone! Kya here! Also known slightly better as The Girl with the Lotus Tattoo! Who am I you ask? The same as you, a Commander player who enjoys spending my spare time slinging spells and talking smack while doing so. Okay...well maybe you're just into that first part about slinging spells, but I just […]

We are back (back again), readers! This is Replacement commanders, where we look at each of the eight new “other” legendary creatures released with the four tribal decks in the commander 2017 product.

World at War When the world is thrown into the chaos of multi-sided war there is an air of unpredictability. Each country is attempting to get an edge on the enemy, but is ultimately only concerned with survival. During the last World War, there were the Axis and Allies, but each country fought multiple fronts […]

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 […]

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 […]

Saskia the Unyielding art by Greg Opalinski Lightning Strikes Twice Whether you're a grizzled Magic veteran or a bushy-tailed new player, chances are good that at some point before learning to play you listened to someone discussing the game and said to yourself, "I recognize the words they're using, but they may as well be speaking a different language."

Every story needs its own underdog, and every underdog with a story needs their chance to rise to the occasion. When this series first started, I evoked the imagery of Rudy, the Toon Squad, and Gold-Medalist Olympic hockey team. These were all characters and teams that defied the odds and had their moment to shine. […]
