Hello Planeswalkers, Kya here once again to spread more love across the EDH community! Being a female player, Magic: the Gathering can be an... interesting experience to say the least. I know there has been plenty of drama over the last week, but this article doesn't deal with that topic. I'm sure many are tired […]

This series looks at all eight of the “alternate” Commanders from the Commander 2017 product, instead of the face eminence legendary creatures from each deck. From there, we break down the replacement commander based on the stats, colors and abilities of […]

  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 […]

Thanksgiving has creeped up upon us, stealthily, like a...stealthy thing. And so of course, instead of devolving into what the turkey meant in Mesoamerica (it was called the Chalchiuhtotolin, or jeweled bird, a favored animal of the Mexica trickster god Tezcatlipoca—oh damn there I go ahead willy-nilly) we will dive into a bit of game […]

You all know how it goes. You make the calls. You put the brews (or soda) in the fridge. You set the stage and make room around the kitchen table for yourself and three other powerful mages. And then four show up. So what do you do? You could just go ahead and play EDH […]

Hello my fellow mad scientists! Kya here again! I'm overjoyed with the response and feedback across the net about my first article. There are definitely those who have strong opinions about both Net Decking and Group Hug. I expected Net Decking to turn a few heads, but the real surprise was those against the concept of […]

Smell that? No, not your weird uncle and his "cologne", that he keeps hanging from his rear-view window. Yes, that other smell. The good one. It's that post-Pro Tour smell. Some innovation popped up like I told you it would, and, since I am a man of my word, I'm here to jam the most […]

Sygg-nature Move In honor of the recent release of Duel Decks: Merfolk vs Goblins, we're going to do something fun for this week's Commander Showdown. Normally this series compares and contrasts commanders with similar abilities. For example, Tishana vs Zegana focused on two Simic card drawing powerhouses, and Hapatra vs The Scorpion God honed in on commanders that use -1/-1 […]
