Your Worst Best Nightmare Hi everyone! Welcome back to the Knowledge Pool! This week we're beginning a new miniseries I'm lovingly referring to as the "Nightmare Series."

The Token Tokens Greetings, fellow EDH addicts. Welcome to another iteration of Shape Anew, where we build a decklist around a commander with 500+ decks on EDHREC.

The Doctor is In! Although we’re in the middle of Commander 2018 spoilers right now, this week in General Medicine we’re going to take a look at a commander from last year’s product that got a lot of hype before the release, but perhaps didn’t live up to its potential.

Overall popularity is the most common way we identify underdogs, but I've shown in the past that it […]

Hoist the Colors! Ahoy there, ye well-learned bunch of scallywags! Apologies for the lateness of this here article, but my personal life hit some bumps last month. Today I’ll be talking about the roughest and toughest group of sea dogs ever to find themselves trapped on the waves of the seas of Ixalan. Ye be […]

Welcome back to the Knowledge Pool! My last two articles focused on decks aiming to do "big" things, and have been inspired by decks I've personally built in real life.
