Commander Focus — Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist
Typical Selesnya. Making everyone else play by harsh rules that they themselves gleefully ignore. It's an unusual and non-standard definition of the word "duel" when one side of a dispute presents one champion and the other side gets to respond with their entire army. The Precon Effect At this "early" date, if we look […]

Runed Stalactite art by Jim Pavelec A Silver Lining Welcome back folks to Low Market: bringing you budget Commander decks on EDHREC since 1993 2000 2017! This week, we're breaking down borders. 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 […]
Replacement Commanders — Dueling is the Cat's Meow
by
DM Cross
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. So far, we covered vampires, dragons and wizards, so there is only one tribe left…cats! I put up polls on Twitter for […]
Low Market — Greatness, At Various Costs
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 […]

Burning Inquiry — The Cult of Ludevic and Sidar Kondo
I was involved in a cult once. Usually quite a calculated and reasonable man, one day I learned it was the will of Zedruu that I must submit to. Of course things began harmlessly enough: It is the will of Zedruu that you have... this [card]Pentad Prism[/card]. It is no longer burdened by counters. Enjoy. I will be […]
Singleton Guild Wheel — Gettin' Down With Gaddock
This article is part 10 of a 10-part series covering the Singleton Guild Wheel Project, a 10-deck project with only a single copy of any non-basic land among the 10 decks. Each deck uses the color combination of a different Ravnican guild. The methodology is introduced here and expanded upon each week by featuring a deck […]
Partner Focus — Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa
He is the Peter Pan of Magic, because he can convince the rest of the children that they can fly. They can't really fly, but they think they can. It's because of the hallucinogenic mushrooms he found on the island and then fed to the rest of the kids, just like in Peter Pan. You don't […]
