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!

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!

On CadPop 204, I continue to string together related listener submissions about how MtG and Commander have enriched their lives. Today's submission features friend-of-the-show Amy's story about how gaming helped her with family struggles and how learning how to play Magic strengthened her and her husband's bond. I conclude with four great tips when teaching your spouse to play Magic.

Today is a very special episode of Commander ad Populum. I tell a couple stories from listeners who reached out about Magic helping them, or their kids, with learning difficulties. Having not the strongest academic accolades in early primary school, these stories resonated profoundly with me. Join me to listen in on how Magic helps us learn.

This week, I do a small recap on a Magic event I attended with my son and friends. I had an awesome game with some long-time friends and one of their sons. In CadPop Episode 202, I reflect on how Magic doesn't discriminate against age. The most important thing for the longevity of the game is that we recognize that and welcome the younger generation in, with open arms.

Inspired by a recent event in my son's life, I decide to tackle the topic of what I consider an important topic to MTG design. The notion that very adult themes, stories and scenarios can be adapted through MTG to become appropriate for an all-age audience. Come hear what I mean.

We're kicking off the next 200 episodes of CadPopCast, right now! Join me as I discuss why it's important to take things in, as they're happening. Why we should all recognize a good thing and live in the moment of that good thing. Magic, and specifically Commander, has taught me that, in spades.

This week, I start to mentally unpack some of what was CommandFest Bellevue. Fun games, late nights of playing, great people, content creator panels, drinks in the parking lot, I did it all! The most important part though, some of the revelations I've had along the way. Revelations that I've never thought up or realized in over 2o years of playing Magic!

This week on CadPopCast, I tackle a listener's question about the appropriate speed to play the game. He finds he goes too fast and has to be asked to slow down. At the same time, he's conscious of not wasting people's time, either. What pace of play is the correct pace? Come hear my thoughts on the matter.

Games like Magic offer extreme flexibility in mechanics, competition and expression. Many other games offer the same. This week, I reflect on my friend playing a different game, the same way I play Magic. I like jank decks in Commander. She likes tuned and optimized. In video games, she likes fringe, off-the-wall character builds. Me, honed player vs. player killing machines. Tune in to hear all about it!

Is it possible to influence or even change the meta at an event? What about the culture? Is deck selection part of it? Is your pre-game discussion part of it? Join me this week as I explore some ways I think you can impact a large Magic event, for the better.

This week, we revisit Commander's Arsenal from 2012 and compare it with the more recent Commander Collection Green and Black. Which products have stood the test of time? Which one's are better bang for your buck? Do I want more products like this instead of a pile of precons every year? Join me to hear all my thoughts and more!

Giada, Font of Hope is one of the most intriguing new commanders from Streets of New Capenna. She provides mana ramp and creature pump from the command zone all wrapped up in a two-mana package. She might just be the perfect commander for my newest deck that plays everything that I love. Lets build it!

Join me to hear about a new way of thinking and how it applies to Commander deck building. After that, I give a brief update on my latest deck: Jetmir, Saproling tokens!

I'm experimenting with something new, this week. I want to take a look at Magic's newest set and give my reaction to some of what we are seeing. This won't be a review but an analysis of how I think the mechanics may effect the format of Commander and also how I think sets like this will change the landscape of the game, moving forward.

This week is all about motivation. From the little day-to-day things to the larger things that we work towards, over the course of years. It's important to stay committed and it helps to recognize how things like Magic can help us develop/maintain a higher baseline level of motivation.

Spring has sprung! It's time to get brewing. This week, I discuss two new brews and how I got the inspiration to brew both of them, back to back. Listen in to how getting stomped by a vintage deck including all Power 9 cards inspired me to build a saproling tokens deck!

Are decks more interesting when they're not as powerful? Do they encourage more politics or other non-mechanical opportunities for you to gain an advantage when you cut the most powerful cards? Do you win more for making your decks worse? Come see what I think.

It's been a while since I last took an honest look at where all my decks sit, with regards to power level. It's a good idea that every so often, we take a step back and make sure we honestly evaluate where decks are at. This makes sure we are utilizing our deck arsenal to the best of it's capabilities and matching up with opponents to have the best game experience.

This week we get into the stories and special meaning behind cards in our collections. I discuss why it's special to have a complete set of Magic cards that have memories tied to them and recommend that everyone try to collect their favorite set. To demonstrate all of this, I do what anyone would do. Use examples from my complete set of Fallen Empires!

Every once in a while world events are forced into our lives in such a strong way that they dominate everything around us. This is one of those times. Thankfully, we have Magic to both keep us grounded in a great community and to lend us knowledge on how to have difficult conversations and teach younger people about complex topics.

This week, I dive into and explain three ways that I've found to be very effective in assisting newer players. Because Magic is such a complex game and the social implications of attending your first FNM or MagicFest can weigh heavy on many, it's important that we, as a community, look after new players, as best we can.

This week, I relive the glory days of the early 90's. I look back and remember how seeing a very particular movie box while renting movies with my dad. That single moment sparked an entire lifetime of love for the fantasy genre.

After that, we hit up the Retro Set Remix with Legends!

This week, I discuss building decks around legendary creatures that have a reputation or the stigma of being that deck. I look at why people might feel the way they do, with examples from outside Magic. We finish up with some of the reasons it's OK to build whatever decks you want. As long as there's consistent and honest communication to back up your intended/desired experience.

We kick off this week's show with a couple wholesome MtG stories as I relate a recent FNM experience to my younger playing days. Then, we get into the best cards that Arabian Nights had to offer and how they influence the Commander card pool. It's easy to demonstrate, with cards from Arabian Nights, that Commander's card pool isn't getting smaller, it's just shifting to a different type of card.
