Wake Up, Corpses! Hello again, dedicated readers! My name is Seth Cross and this is Replacement Commanders, an annual series dedicated to shining the spotlight on the alternative legendary creatures from Wizards of the Coast's annual Commander precon products. Each year, we get amazing commanders like [card]Edgar Markov[/card], [card]Meren of Clan Nel Toth[/card], and [card]Atraxa, […]

She's Creepy, Crawly, and She'll Spin You Right Round! Here we go again, my lovely readers! My name is Seth Cross and this is a very personally interesting installment of Replacement Commanders! This series works to highlight the new legendary creatures that appear in each of the annual Commander products that are NOT the face […]

World Wide Web of War Hello, and welcome back to a special edition of Ultra Budget Brews, the article series that is perpetually "Thinking Arby's" (I blame the coupons they mail). It's also the series that builds entire EDH decks in which no card costs more than $1. Well, typically. I mentioned that this is […]

Vaevictis the Dire... On a Budget! As a new twist, I'm writing a follow-up article to a previous commander. In my last article about [card]Vaevictis Asmadi, the Dire[/card], I made a deck list that I felt comfortable playing. Only later did I look at the per-card budget lines of the deck and realize that I made […]

The Webs We Weave Welcome to Andrew Jackson Highlander, a biweekly series where I build and share $20 Commander decks. With Commander 2018 released this month, I will be devoting my articles to some of the alternate commanders within each of the decks. To kick it off, we incite violence and ensnare our opponents in our political webs […]

The Wake of Commander 2018 Hello, everyone! It is good to be back with another installment of the Underdog's Corner. If you have been in a coma, locked in a basement, or maybe stranded on a deserted island, first, welcome back to civilization, and second, Commander 2018 has officially released! Commander Christmas has come and gone, […]

Previously On EDHREC... It’s time to finish our second session of Playgroup Brews: Commander 2018! As I said in Part 1, this article will not be a review the precons. Instead, three members of my playgroup have joined me in creating a deck for four of the new commanders. Each of us has chosen one of […]

Commander 2018 It is finally that time! Commander 2018 is here! I've described this release as a Commander player's Super Bowl, and this year's new legends don't disappoint. In the first five years of its lifetime, the Commander products were done in full color cycles. After that, with Commander 2017, the product was reduced to […]

Vaevictis, New and Improved Behold, [card]Vaevictus Asmadi, the Dire[/card]! A new upgrade to an old classic. The previous version of this Elder Dragon had firebreathing, as well as treebreathing and swampbreathing. While this ability might be fascinating to reptilian nutritionists, it's a bit mediocre compared to what modern commanders can do. The upgraded version gets […]

Previously on EDHREC... Hey everyone! I'm back for round 2 of Playgroup Brews! Last time we discussed two of our five Elder Dragons before the M19 prerelease: [card]Arcades, the Strategist[/card] and [card]Chromium, the Mutable[/card]. We got lots of great feedback, a lot of folks loved the Chromium deck, and we hope that you had fun brewing these […]
