Epic Preparations Good morning, EDHREC! I’m Bernardo Melibeu and this is The Epic Experiment, a series where we throw all common sense aside and experiment with some unusual cards, effectively changing how we normally build our deck. Is it going to work? Who knows?! We’re making science here. When you’re an Izzet mage, blowing things up […]

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 concept of this series is simple: demo the decks that haunt our dreams. I think most of us with consistent playgroups have a deck or two that […]

A City of Thrills Hello everyone and welcome back to another edition of the Underdog's Corner! My name is Mason Brantley, and if you've never joined us before, this series is all about the commanders that deserve a little more of the spotlight. These commanders might be one of the least popular choices from their […]

Aris-Torg-Crats Welcome to Thrifty Fifty, a series where we build budget EDH decks for $50, or around the same price as a [card]Gilded Drake[/card]. We’ll be paying special attention to new and/or underplayed commanders, and crafting efficient decks that you’ll be proud to bring to EDH night. In the process, we’ll discover budget gems, rad […]

Lyzolda, the Blood Witch Hello everyone and welcome back to this edition of the Underdog's Corner! It is now the first week after the official release of Guilds of Ravnica, and just like everyone else, I'm starting to brew with cards from the set. (Keep an eye out for my take on [card]Emmara, Soul of the Accord[/card] in the […]

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 […]

Welcome back to another edition of General Medicine! This week, we’re taking a look at a brand new Jund commander, and an Elder Dragon at that. I’m talking, of course, about [card]Vaevictis Asmadi, the Dire[/card]. [card]Vaevictis Asmadi, the Dire[/card] is the latest in a long line of Jund-colored commanders who play around with sacrificing things. […]

Silver and Gold We are back again, faithful readers! My name is still Seth Cross (but my friends call me “DM”) and this is still Uncommonder, the series inspired by Dominaria’s plethora of legendary creatures printed at the uncommon rarity. There were twenty of the silver-stamped Commander options that Wizards of the Coast gave us […]

Hi everyone! Welcome back to The Knowledge Pool! Most commanders have an obvious theme and encourage us to play specific cards. This is apparent when we consider the decks I've presented so far. Mayael wants us to play with big creatures, Trostani wants us to make tokens, and Kydele wants to untap. I personally love […]

Welcome back friends to another edition of General Medicine! Today we’re taking a look at a two-color deck very much built around the commander championing it, Peter’s brew of [card]Savra, Queen of the Golgari[/card]! But before we get into the list and a preliminary diagnosis, I want to expand upon the color pairing in general. […]
