The drill here is for our listeners to provide their lists for commanders who have under just 500 decks being referenced on EDHREC for data for that commander. In an era where Atraxa and the other top commander are rocking tens of thousands of lists, you truly are drinking that hipster moose juice when your commander isn't cracking 500 lists. So let's see what the listeners are doing to stay unique. As always, find deck lists and card lists from the podcast on the Discord server's #lists-from-the-pod channel.

Our relationship with the Magic: the Gathering product ebbs and flows and we're all prone to patterns that place on the path of fatigue or the precipice of drifting away from the game. So how do we find a happy middle ground? Andy guides a discussion of life and death cycle of decks and how that impacts roster building and through personal experience juxtaposed with Kyle's explores what it might not look like to have a happy relationship with the product and constructing a roster of decks that bring joy.

It's been a long time since we've done our meta gaming series where we talked about methods to contain common elements of the game you can regularly expect opponents to abuse. But it's time for an addition to the series as treasure tokens have proven to be a leyline getting weaved throughout the game. Andy illustrates how treasure has become proliferated throughout the format and the impact it can have on games. Andy then shares a list of cards suggested by listeners for containing the impact of treasure tokens. You can find lists and deck lists on our #lists-from-the-pod channel of our Discord server.

There are cards in this game that are obviously powerful. There are cards that elicit a strong reaction. But there are also those cards that alter behavior at a table just based on their sheer gravitational pull to adapt to the presence of that card.

We all build decks that seem to land in different experiential zones. Our friends enjoy playing against some and others not so much.

Have you tried out EDHREC's "View Similar Commander" tool? Go check it out. Kyle takes Andy into a conversation about ways that it is useful to find and explore commanders comparable to the ones you are brewing. They then gives the EDHREC tool a spin to see how good it is at offering useful comparisons. As a side quest, Andy looks to see if the quest for viewing comparable commanders can find him a new mono-black commander that fits the experience he's looking for.

Some commanders are just too much. Set aside the popularity contest, we're taking on Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow, and talking about what makes this commander so notoriously hated whilst popular. Andy gets into an alternative deck option for a ninja experience through Alora, Merry Thief paired with the background of Agent of the Shadow Thieves. Kyle then shares a top deck experience that doesn't have to be so irritating from the beginning of a game in using Jadzi, Oracle of Arcavios.

We all have an understanding that commanders can serve different roles for a deck, whether as a strategy or providing benefit for implementing a strategy. But Andy proposes that we give some attention to the idea that some commanders can get us started, but can then be abandoned as the strategy gets going. Andy shares a variety of decks that exemplify this idea of a commander that can provide resources to get rolling, but that don't need to be present for success.

It looks like we've got a legit series on our hands. The obsession with starter decks continues as the conversation turns to the blink/flicker theme. Kyle takes a somewhat different route, rather than offering a starter version of a beloved deck, he chats with Andy talks about a theme he has obsessed with for years. They investigate how it has changed in the face of added design and the availability of new blink commanders. He offers up Yorion, Sky Nomad as a launching point for anyone looking to get started with the theme. As always, you can find our deck lists on our Patreon supporter Discord server.

We decided to continue trying our hand at starter decks. In this episode, Andy launches us into a new series where we look to create starter versions of decks we are experienced with.

It's been a couple of years since we addressed our magical mispronunciations. In that time, you all have cringed numerous times at how we've chosen to pronounce many a made-up Magic character's name. We've brought in the linguists and compiled a list of new legends from the last year that are potential mispronunciation pitfalls. Let's see if we change our minds about how to say the names of any of these characters.

It may not get talked about a lot, but there exists a compelling deck theme where you simply have too many of your commander. Copies everywhere!!! Andy and Kyle set up the conversation of what is behind the idea of cloning your own commander, how to see if there is value to be had via this strategy, and how to outline a deck. They share a variety of clone deck ideas that they've been brewing. As always, you can find our deck lists on our Patreon supporter Discord server.
