Commander ad Populum – Details, episodes & analysis

How do we improve our casual decks? Is it by making them faster? If so, is it appropriate in casual Commander to just jam whatever mana rocks we want? Come hear my thoughts on the matter.

If you're like me, you've heard a lot about Magic's 30th anniversary Beta-reprint product. Today I get into the positives and negatives of skirting the reserved list and the $1000 price tag that comes along with it.

This week, I tackle the topic that ist he Commander Banned list. A topics where people can't agree since the start of the format! Come hear my thoughts. Maybe it'll help provide some clarity on where I think the format is at and how best to tackle difficult Rule Zero conversations.

Special thanks goes out to Everything Sideways, the MTG Punk band who was gracious enough to send me their debut album, Planeswalker Punk early. The official release is on Oct 18. Look them up then and jam hard!

This week is all about how different forms of art and how we choose to decorate our bodies with art can influence our deck building. That, and a quick update on my latest mono-white deck that's been relegated to the back burner for some time!

This week, I expand on the idea that we have infinite stories available to us, right here on Earth Plane. Today, I discuss five legendary Canadians that would help tell the story of Canada in the 20th Century. Listen in, then submit your own real legendary figures.

We kick off CadPop 207 by comparing our reactions to real-world current events to playing Magic the Gathering. How has Magic influenced the way we think about important events in our lives? After that, I spitball-theorize what it might look like to have MtG sets based on real points in the history of Earth. It was a very fun thought experiment and one I hope to expand on!

I kick off this week's episode by putting a nice little cherry on the topic we've been carrying over, from week to week. It's a community story of one Magic player giving his wife a special present to remind her that MtG and Commander are very important in their relationship. Even if she doesn't play. Then, I go deep on vehicle commanders and what it means to have multiple decks that employ the same strategy. Join me after the episode, on the Patreon Discord server or on Twitter, to discuss!

On CadPop 205, we've got two community topics. The first, a follow up to last week's continuous topic about teaching family members to play. This time, a listener's suggestions combined with my experience and advice on teaching young kids to play Magic. After that, I expand my thoughts on the very few planeswalkers we have ever gotten as commanders. Come listen to what I think on the subject and let me know your thoughts, after!
