Ramos, Dragon Engine art by Joseph Meehan The Power of [Super]friendship Welcome back to Low Market, a column for budget Commander deckbuilding! Every week, I gaze balefully at the perpetually empty "Planeswalker" subcategory of my deck template, yearning for the day that I will stuff it to the brim with planeswalkers. That day has finally come: […]

The eminence ability allows us to play a commander that is lurking behind the scenes, making the team stronger, and only entering the fray when an urgent decisive strike is needed. With these characteristics, [card]Edgar Markov[/card] is literally "The Man". He's an authority figure in the patriarchy, he's white, he has his own private army […]

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 […]

Welcome back to Intellectual Offering. This week I’m excited to let my inner Timmy ROAR and talk a little about [card]Gishath, Sun’s Avatar[/card]. In case you haven’t had a chance to drink this beauty in here it is in all it’s glory: That thing is HUGE. Ok so it’s not Titanosaur huge: But I mean […]

Here we are, Ixalan is finally out for everyone to see! Dinosaurs, pirates and vampires, oh my! You know, everything that totally makes sense in a Magic: the Gathering world. Soon we'll have a [card]Rampaging Ferocidon[/card] crewing [card]Heart of Kiran[/card] next to zombies and a [card]Crested Sunmare[/card]. Seems reasonable right? Does it seem weird to […]

Well, hello there readers. My name is Seth Cross, though I commonly go by "DM" (and yes, it does stand for Dungeon Master.) I have played Magic: the Gathering on and off since I was 8 years old, nearly 20 years ago. For the past four years, I became obsessed with the Commander format and […]

Hello friends and treasure seekers, and welcome back to EDHREC and our continuing biweekly column, Non-Basically Speaking, the series that strives to identify non-basic lands that should be considered valuable staples or hidden gems based on their visibility on EDHREC. I have to admit, selecting a topic of conversation this week was a bit tough […]

Hello one, hello all, and welcome back to the Underdog's Corner! It's been a while since I have had the opportunity to write, but I am so excited to be back! A lot has happened during my small hiatus in the Magic: the Gathering world including the release of the highly anticipated Commander 2017. The […]
