This week Mike and Judge Alex discuss their deck building strategy.  It seems really simple but how do you make cuts at the end?  What do you do if you are running out of cards?  How do you make the games end!?  The guys lay out their guide to deckbuilding and editing.

Also touched on this episode:
How to get a feel for a new deck before investing too much in it
How to have even more pride in creating your deck
A way to make all the cats and a polite disagreement on a lesser known ramp card

We close with Judge Alex explaining Companion, and discuss why the mechanic didn't work in Commander at large.

We have a jumbo sized episode for you this week!  Following our conversation on the upcoming Commander Legends set, Mike and Judge Alex talk about the commander creatures you can't use because they are the wrong color, Silver!  What could work?  What is absolutely busted and a non-starter? Does Mike accept stax into is life?!

Also touched on this episode:
Interaction pieces as a recipe and changing up your routine game
A sac outlet that's underutilized and a cool creature to pass around the table

We close with Judge Alex explaining State Based Actions, and discuss the rules committee at large.

No clever title, puns, or non-sense.  Actually a good amount of non-sense.  Commander Legends is (almost) here!  On this episode Mike and Judge Alex talk about their cards in Commander Legends that fit into their favorite playstyles: Group Hug and Politics!  They discuss a few reprints before diving into the ridiculously large set.  Mana burn is back?  What Commander is Rita Repulsa?  Is Mono-White getting help?  You'll have to listen to find out!  (Except mono-white, the answer is almost always no).

Mike and Judge Alex spotlight a few more cards for the upcoming Commander Legends set.  Some for unique effects, some for fun gameplay, some because its about dang time (Mono-White Staple?!) and finally some because the rich don't just get richer they get wealthy.  Then they discuss what the set might mean as a whole for Commander and Magic at large in the future.

Here at The Social Contract we promote the phrase, "Like to win, love to play."  The game is a great time, win or lose.  That doesn't mean you shouldn't try to win though!  This week Mike and Judge Alex go over all of the cards in our format that serve as Alternative Win Conditions, specifically that say, "if _____ You Win the Game."  How hard are these to pull off?  How much fun are they? Does Mike come to terms that Stax can be fun?  No, no he doesn't.

Later we advise players new and veteran alike on how to not be a jerk in different ways.  We put the spotlight on some budget cards that are in less than 100 decks each on EDHRec, and why it's insane.  We close with Judge Alex telling us the most powerful word in Magic, and why it's still not perfect.

If you haven't picked up on it yet, Mike and Alex love Group Hug.  Why don't we see it more often?  This week we discuss the stigmas surrounding group hug as a playstyle.  We give advice to players to broaden their horizons and run more symmetrical effects, shine a spotlight on some interesting group hug cards, and end with Judge Alex going over the rules of the Assist mechanic.  It's the first of what will be many episodes talking about our favorite type of deck.  Come on in, don't be shy.  Let's hug it out.
