Commander Theory – Détails, épisodes et analyse

In this episode, Valerio (probably better known as @golgariguy on Twitter) returns to the show to discuss the absolute state of monored. Although White has gotten a lot of community attention in the last few years, Red has quietly fallen behind the other colors and is lacking many of the basic tools needed to compete in Commander. With data, deckbuilding, and a healthy bit of theorycrafting, we dissect Red and offer some areas where it could be improved without breaking the color pie.

Decks discussed in this episode:
Monogreen Goodstuff
Monoblue Goodstuff
Monoblack Goodstuff
Monowhite Goodstuff

Monored Goodstuff (Nick)
Monored Goodstuff (Raphael)

Taking a break to enjoy the post-spoiler season afterglow; please enjoy this re-run of one of my favorite eps from the past year.

Typal is a well you can come back to over and over because, well, it's fun! And there are infinite possibilities! So in this episode Nick and Zak dive into which types have the highest ranking members on EDHREC, and compare that to what the type overall is ranked to see where the biggest delta of power is. What's the difference between "how often played" and "how often played together"? What do these creature types need to "get there"? And why aren't people taking notice now if the cards are so strong? Listen in and find out!

A new installment, a new series! Now officially named Seasons Past! Where we look back at old designs to see how we got to where we are today. In this episode, Nick and Zak get friend-of-the-show Charlotte Sable - CAG member and excellent writer of magic knowledge - to look back at one of her favorite sets: Alliances! What cards stuck with us? How did they end up designing the "final" set to be paired with Ice Age? And... Gorillas?!? It's all here! Along with favorite cards and just, a lot of reminiscing, so listen in and let us know what you think! 

You can find Charlotte HERE, and you can read her excellent writing HERE (seriously, it's awesome!) 

We apologize for the mic problems in this episode, but for sure we'll be up and running again for next week.

In a short and sweet episode, Nick and Zak talk about, well, what it was like at MTG Las Vegas! We got to go and meet a ton of new people, some old friends, play a ton of Magic, and generally get a good look at what the future might hold for the Commander Community! (We're playing a game while recording so there's a little bit of that happening too) In the future we plan to go to as many of these events as we can, so always feel free to contact us and let us know if you'd like to meet up and jam games!

We did a review of the main-deck cards from Crimson Vow with Kyle and Andy from the Legendary Creature Podcast, and you can find it HERE. We're really into a lot of the cards and it was a blast to hang out with those guys! A small warning, there is cursing so be careful if you usually listen with kids in the car.

Other than that, we're excited to get back to your regular scheduled Commander Theory programming! Yay 2-ish months without previews we hope!
