Casual Compliance – Détails, épisodes et analyse

A pattern we've started to notice with the Commander banlist is cards that can easily or reliably give you infinite amounts of anything will usually end up banned. This episode's card is one of those types of cards. Time Vault is a funky little artifact that seems like it has a downside attached to it giving you an extra turn, but tune into this one to find out how real that downside actually is.

Gaea's Cradle has appeared on our show before, as a powerful way to generate mana if you have a lot of creatures. This episode's featured banned card, Biorhythm, asks the question: how can I punish everyone else for not having as many creatures as I do? Is that a bad thing? Find out in this episode!

Welcome to Casual Compliance, a new show about Magic the Gathering's popular Commander format, but through an Australian lens looking at topics like:

- deckbuilding tips for better vibes

Strap in and meet your new friends Gramps (Lewis) and chillybin (Mike) for this rambling intro to who we are and what we're looking to do here.

Sometimes, what a good game of Commander needs is a board wipe of some kind. But what if we take that idea further? What if, instead of a board wipe, we effectively reset the whole game? Sway of the Stars is a card that does just that, but does it in a way that the Rules Committee don't like. Come and see what we think of it!

Last time on Casual Compliance Nights we spoke about "Rule Zero" and in that episode we briefly discussed a system known as Spirit of the Game. This is a rating system from the sport of Ultimate (Frisbee) that seeks to ensure a fair and positive competitive environment in one of the world's only self-officiated sports. In this instalment of Casual Compliance Nights, we dig deeper into Spirit of the Game, and explore whether a system like this could have benefits in the world of casual multiplayer Magic.

Just like speed limits, tapping creatures and lands is something put there by THE MAN to slow you down and stop you from doing things when you want to. Prophet of Kruphix is here to say that's nonsense! You should be able to play Magic whenever you want! What's that? That's illegal? Find out in this episode if we agree with the judgment cast upon this absolute untapping machine.

Gaea's Cradle takes the fact that green loves having lots of creatures and asks "what if they all generated mana?" Now, imagine that same design was applied to blue, and instead of creatures we care about artifacts. If that sounds like a powerful idea to you, you might be onto something. Something very much like Tolarian Academy. Find out in this episode if we think this could ever see the light of day outside of Vintage.

Who doesn't like getting exactly what they need? What if you could have two of exactly what you need? Someone made a Magic card that does something like that in Gifts Ungiven, and Commander said no thank you. Do we think they should change their mind on this one? Come and find out.

There's been a lot of talk online lately about "Rule Zero" and its place within Commander. We're going to try and unpack the main themes of that discourse here in this, the first instalment of our alternate programming: Casual Compliance Nights.

We look at what some of the loudest voices in the room (mostlyTwitter, let's be honest) have been saying and discuss how those points stack up against the experience of your typical casual Commander player.

You've probably heard of reanimate effects in Magic: the Gathering before, but you've probably never seen one quite like this. Come and see what we thought of this sneaky little enchantment and whether or not we think it could get unbanned any time soon.
