Is Monored Goodstuff Possible? ft. @golgariguy
30 Nov 2023
02:00:21
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.

RE-RUN: Underplayed Creature Types You're Sleeping On
21 Sep 2023
00:49:04
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!

MTG Las Vegas 2021 Dispatch
26 Nov 2021
00:22:08
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!

Mechanical Color-Pie Gets a Tune Up
05 Nov 2021
01:04:42
In 2017 Mark Rosewater released an article/resource for Magic: The Gathering fans and home designers called the Mechanical Color Pie. The article includes TONS of drop-down menus and various ways in which every mechanic used on a magic card at the time was sorted into color, by color, and in alphabetical order. It was a HUGE undertaking, and incredibly helpful to passionate fans like CT hosts Nick and Zak. It had its downsides though, mainly that it was backward-looking. You could think of it as more of a snapshot of the color pie around 2017. So when Maro finished the 2021 update to the Mechanical Color Pie, with the help of the Council of Colors, AND it was forward-looking this time? Well, that means a ton to people who care about the future of the format! So listen in as we get into the changes made to the color pie, and let us know what you think too!

Seasons Past: The Dark
29 Oct 2021
01:09:07
HAPPY HALLOWEEN! For this week Nick and Zak get back to the original set to bring horror to the MTG universe! Not Innistrad in 2011, but The Dark! Originally released in 1994 the cards have left lasting impressions on the two hosts for a long time! So for this spooky weekend take a trip down memory lane to see the set that made mana rocks the way they are and top-down sets possible. For each color-pie break there's an equally flavorful card that... well it probably doesn't do much, but it's interesting and fun! And there's a lot to look back on and learn from and pet cards galore! So join us as we delve deeper into The Dark!
Last note, if you like this retrospective let us know! It's something we've talked about doing more of since there's a lot to learn from the past and it makes it easier to see what's coming down the line! (Also, it's just cool to see how far design has come and take some trips down memory lane)
Edited the name to reflect it's the first in the series Seasons Past.

Custom Commanders Fall 2021 - Unmined Potential
08 Oct 2021
01:22:47
How much space is there left for new commander designs really? A WHOLE LOT. On this episode of Commander Theory, Nick and Zak solicited designs from you, the listeners, and you didn't let us down! There's a ton of custom commanders that open up new spaces in the format, and frankly, we're sad they're not real! So if you like theory crafting, if you would like a glimpse into a future commander that could be, or you just wanna hear us talk about a ton of cards that don't fit into decks right now, we got it all here for you!
Wizards of the Coast employees beware! This episode has custom designs so you might wanna skip it to be safe.
Special thanks to @JohannStrottman, Addison Sage, Micah, Alex Whiteclay, and Dionaea for the rad designs featured in this episode. You're all amazing!

Which Decks Want Lots Of Utility Lands
26 Aug 2021
00:45:45
Almost every Magic: The Gathering set has a cycle of rare lands to help you cast your spells, and most have at least one utility land that does something either the set wants, or the standard environment wanted. Over the years this has really added up! Every deck wants to cast spells, but what decks want a lot of utility lands? Are there any decks that want really funny mana bases on purpose? Maybe lands that do particular things rather than just make your colors easy to access? In this episode Nick and Zak get into the nitty-gritty about why you might want to play with certain utility lands, and what decks specifically call them out. It starts broadly and then gets more specific, so listen in and tell us what your favorite utility lands are after!

07 Sep 2023
03:30:38
Nick is joined by patron Cary to review the new maindeck cards from Wilds of Eldraine! While the set's themes are on the weak side there are still plenty of new format staples, powerful role-players to bolster narrow archetypes, and a few sleepers that you might want to grab before everyone else jumps on the bandwagon.

No More Breacher! - A Conversation with Charlotte Sable on the Hullbreacher Ban
13 Aug 2021
00:30:15
A little while ago Hullbreacher was banned for crimes against the table when combined with "Wheel" effects, or cards that make each player discard their hand and draw 7 new cards. The ban was abrupt, to say the least. Putting aside if the card was too good or too bad, that the card is gone is the topic we were more interested in. What were the thoughts behind the ban itself? So luckily Nick and Zak got friend-of-the-show and CAG member Charlotte Sable to come on after the dust has settled and discuss what the RC was thinking, the CAG's points on the matter, and generally be transparent about the whole thing. So enjoy as we have a little talk about a card that when a line too far!

Cards We Were Wrong About
06 Aug 2021
01:30:07
You win some, you lose some. In this episode, Nick and Zak look back at old reviews to see what cards they got wrong from long ago. What cards did we undervalue? What cards were we really down on? What did we hype up that turned out to be a clunker? And very importantly, what cards are the WORLD wrong about, and not us! It's all here in this episode, so listen in and find out!
This is just the tip of the iceberg! Let us know if there are any cards you remember us reviewing unfavorably, or any reviews you disagree with, and why. We'd love to hear it! And definitely tell us if you liked this episode because we can dredge up more!

Sub-Critical Categories - What's Almost There?
30 Jul 2021
00:55:49
There are so many Magic: The Gathering cards, and so many strategies that are supported across the thousands of options you have available to you. Every set adds a little more, and if you're lucky maybe a card for your specific archetype! So on this episode, Nick and Zak take a good, hard look at groups of cards that are very close to having a threshold of members you'll be guaranteed to see every game, but maybe need a few more cards printed to really be consistent. These are the Sub-Critical masses of cards, and they represent a ton of different styles of play! So listen in and be sure to tell us about cards you wish you could run more of too!
We're also gearing up for a custom commanders episode, so feel free to send in your designs for those as well!

ALL WILL BE ONE (Creature Type)
18 Jun 2021
00:50:05
Recently, and unexpectedly Magic: the Gathering Online got a creature type update. That update? PHYREXIA. That's right, the phyrexian creature type was retroactively added to over 200 magic cards! What does this mean for decks that already exist? What commanders get retrofitted into this new tribe? Is there any mechanical space these random cards from over 20 years have in common? Nick and Zak discuss all that and so much more on this episode!

Ascension and You: How To Tie The Game In Commander
28 May 2021
00:41:12
Most people, no matter how casual, like winning games. In games of Magic that's usually the goal: defeat your opponents and claim victory. Games of Commander are a little different though. You have multiple opponents, and your chance of victory - all things being equal - is only 25% in a 4 player game vs. the normal 50% in 1v1! But what if there was another way? What if you could all hold hands, sing, and fly into the sunset together? What if you could tie the game on purpose? In this episode, Nick and Zak dive into why you might want to, and ways you might not have known to tie the game using cards you probably are already playing! It might not be for everyone, but knowing these interactions exist broadens your horizons and could give you outs when there didn't seem to be any at first glance. So listen in and see what path you might choose for yourself.

Can cEDH move past the Reserved List?
22 May 2021
01:25:45
On our last episode, Nick and Zak looked into what a world with no access to the reserved list looks like for casual Commander and discovered some interesting tidbits about the format. Thing is, there's one format that can't help but play with only the most efficient cards regardless of price, and they too have their own solutions for what to do about the reserved list. Enter Addison, our link to the cEDH community for this episode who's been playing since re-entering the Magic community some year back. Addison joins us to talk about what cards are most ubiquitous, what cards would be sad to see gone, and what would happen to the format overall? All this and a lot more on this deep dive into our second hypothetical look at what no reserved list would mean for the world of Commander.

Have Players Moved Past The Reserved List?
14 May 2021
01:10:55
Lately, as many people have noted, the landscape of Magic has changed. There are more players than ever, and the MTG markets in the USA have been growing at an unimaginable rate. One of these effects has been that it's simply more difficult than ever for most players to acquire Reserved List cards. So Nick and Zak got to thinking: What would Commander look like if all the cards on the reserved list were banned? What happens to the format, and what would players do?
This is 100% just a thought experiment. We are in no way advocating for this, but the conclusions reveal a lot about what players are playing with and where the format is headed. So listen and find out!
This episode is also a 2-parter. This week we get into "Traditional", casual Commander. Next week we'll have a special guest to talk about cEDH, and what might happen in that format if the cards of the Reserved List were to disappear tomorrow, so stay tuned!!

Are Precons Leaving Room For Players to Brew?
07 May 2021
00:49:27
Preconstructed decks are one of the main ways Commander gets new cards and staples injected into the format. A lot of decisions are made about how the new cards are designed, what old cards get reprints, and how they play together, but is there more? There's always going to be a debate about the value for the player and reprint equity, but how do cards being delivered in a made-to-play setting shape the format itself? In this episode (recorded a while ago but being released now) Nick and Zak crunch the numbers. What cards stayed in people's builds of the commander deck commanders? What did they play with and take out? What trends can we see, and how does this affect the format as a whole? Listen, find out, and then use the links below to contact us and tell you what think!

Finding The Hidden Players ft. Charlotte Sable!
27 Mar 2021
00:49:07
Often times in press releases Wizards of the Coast will diminish the value of the data on sites like mtgGoldfish and EDHREC. Nick and Zak asked the question: WHY? So they did some digging, asked their friend Charlotte Sable of the CAG and Magic Judge Tumblr (and recently a writer for commander's herald) to come on, and talked about "Who" WoTC knows that we don't, why, and how could we possibly find them? It's a casual conversation with some large points made, and we hope you enjoy it!
