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 […]

Arixmethes and the Borderless World The concept of a borderless world has taken on a lot of steam lately. Political battles ensue globally as well, as the morals of the movement of people is fervently discussed. The status of your nation-state can be intuitive to most modern people. In many parts of the world, children […]

Marionettes On a String Manipulation. Deceit. Coercion. Bribery. If these words appeal to you, you might be a Puppet Master. Or maybe a criminal. Or both? In any case, politics are an essential part of every game of EDH. Whenever we play, we make deals, threats, and treaties. But that's just scratching the surface. Being […]

Greetings Readers! It's your friendly neighborhood jank crafter again! Sorry for not having an article for you last time, but I didn't have internet while I was out of the country. While I was out there, I took a picture list of all of the Dominaria commanders, because I wanted to try something new with […]

Have you ever taken one of those Facebook personality tests? It's okay to admit it. One can only resist the "Which Game of Thrones Character Are You?" quiz for so long. (I got Ned Stark, so I hope I'm not beheaded before I finish this article.) Since I'm a longtime EDH player, I wondered how […]

Greetings Planeswalkers and Gatherers alike, my name is Christian Alexander, and welcome to the Scrambleverse! I played my first game of Magic right before Theros came out, attended a draft a couple weeks later, bought 2,000 cards with my friend Eric from some random guy on Craigslist, and never looked back. I quickly fell in […]

Silver borders. At time of writing, we're smack-dab in the middle of spoiler season for Unstable, the first Magic joke set in 13 […]

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 […]

Update 1/16/2022: Since the original publishing of this article, we have learned that Cortés' arrival in Mexico was probably not interpreted by the Aztecs as the return of the god Quetzlcoatl, as some were taught in school. The 'white gods' myth was likely invented by later generations due to various social and political pressures. We're […]

Cartography has been political since the beginning of history. The act of making a map has an intrinsic relation to the boundaries governments set. Creating a world within a page for others to see manufactures a perception on the world it depicts. This could be a fabrication. John Smith created new towns and territories to […]
