Building a roster that is personally expressive, plays well with your friends, and is fun to play is a tricky and ongoing task for all commander players. Kyle sets up a premise for checking how far his roster might skew towards personal preferences and whether he's straying too far from the crowd to have a balanced roster experience. He and Andy then take a look to see if there are any themes in juxtaposition with the EDHREC data. Look for links to deck lists on our lists-from-the-pod channel on Discord.

The rules for commander feel pretty static and stable, but is there room for change? With the conversational buzz about the updates to the bracket system and the game changers came some allusion to possible changes to the rules governing commander. Nick joins for another Commander Theory Corner to drive discussion about the pros and cons of some possible changes. Whether it's hybrid mana, sideboards, or planeswalkers as commanders, Nick has the insights and elicits response from Andy and Kyle.

We all look at people's deck lists on the web. Whether it's the list of a friend or the list of stranger, it's always helpful to figure out if the deck is truly functional. Andy and Kyle outline what they are looking for when they look at decks on the web. From surveying the basics for function to diving into the deck's game plan. They also dive into a handful of random decks to see if they can put their principles to work.

We have had a lot of discussions over the last few years about tutors and how they impact the vibes of a game and how to build decks and how we treat the colors of the game.

The year is coming to a close, so it's time to do a survey of a handful of cards you might consider for the other 99 in your decks.

Ever wonder if a commander has the potential for a build that isn't represented in the EDHREC data? Andy and Kyle talk through a couple of questions worth asking to see if we can broaden a commander's design into alternative deck designs. What are the hoops that commanders ask you to jump through, and how can we jump through that hoop in a different way? Or are there multiple hoops and we only need to jump through one to get an effective output? Kyle then jumps into a couple of example brews with Tocasia, Dig Site Mentor, and General Marhault Elsdragon to see if there are alternative ways to think about these commanders.

We're all on the hype train for new cards and new concepts and new decks with the new hotness. But… before you go get into all that's new, let's take a stroll down memory lane to see if there are any sweet ideas we may have passed along the way.

We're coming at you with our favorite yum yucking series! It's been a while since we've taken a popular commander and told the madding crowd enough is enough, but let's take a look at The Ur-Dragon. Kyle and Andy discuss why the popular legend has such an unrelenting stranglehold on dragon tribal decks. From examining the capacity of the tribe to carry on without all the staples of every color, the new legends available, the gross price of The Ur-Dragon, and digging into a variety of decks, hopefully, there's a compelling case to put that dragon into your collection binder for good.

It's not a review. We're getting new commander decks this week, but rather than turning our sights to the cards, Andy takes us into the stories of this universe beyond. Magic: the Gathering product continues the path of marrying itself to other intellectual properties. Think what you will of WotC's tendril-like reach for more consumers, but Warhammer 40,000 has a rich narrative. Andy is an avid 40K story consumer, so he takes us into the context of the universe and helps give some life to the cards we'll be playing with the 40K stamp.

How many deck ideas have you drafted, but never got around to putting into sleeves? Kyle and Andy take a dive into a few brews from times of yore that they tinkered with but never got around to collecting the cards, sleeving up, and bringing to a table. We explore whether we thought ideas would work, or if we were capable, or if we thought the group would respond well to the deck. And we disabuse each other of some perhaps unfounded reasons for not building these brews. (00:00:00) - Introduction (00:03:15) - Why Might One Leave It as an Idea?

Andy's been busy brewing! So often we get focused on the commander and the theme for decks as EDH players. But can we get obsessed with a card like players in other formats? With a card that can hold opponents in suspense regarding its outcome, why not geek out over Danse Macabre? And if you can keep doing it with ways to loop it back to hand, even better.

But before he sets up a deck tech for Mazzy, Truesword Paladin, Kyle takes a dive into some ideas of how to conceptualize and understand this era of legendary creature design.

After our detour into Kamigawa, we are back for the tour of revisiting the mono-color identities. If you haven't checked out our 2018 series, it may be worth listening to see if we've learned anything the last several years. Zak from Commander Theory joins this episode to bring the noise of mono-red. Zak and Andy take a deep dive into why red is the alpha ready to take you on--and also what has made red so successful in other formats and how it fares in commander. They explore key concepts of how to use red and what design space is opening up for the color, while Kyle provides potshots and little of value, because red is for the brave.

Andy shares the joys and pains of rebuilding an EDH roster. You heard from Kyle last time talk about his deliberate approach to building a new roster of decks.

We're talking about a variety of cards that hit a couple of notes. First are cards that your opponents are keen to remove and that you are happy to see eat removal or stay on the board. Second are cards that are low-key threats, hardly worthy of removal, but valuable enough to get you to your destination. ------------------- Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/legendarycreature YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/legendarycreaturepodcast Twitter: @legend_creature ------------------- Intro and outro music this episode comes courtesy of the artist Makeup and Vanity Set from the 88:88 album.

The outro is 99 Luftballons by Nena. These are used under fair use because we're talking about the number 99 or something.

It's been a while since we've had a guest, so strap in and see how we do as we bring on Lenny Wooley. Lenny is a new writer at EDHREC with his article series Power Sink. But he's also a long-time magic player, a deeply experienced commander brewer, and a generally good guy. Join us as we talk all things ranging from Lenny's magic life, his article series, capoeira, and any digression that tickles Andy and Kyle's fancy.

In honor of Golos getting the honor of being banned, we thought we'd point everyone in the opposite direction of popularity. Join us as Andy does a deck blitz episode with nine decks from listeners, all helmed by commanders who register fewer than 500 decks on EDHREC. Let's get our hipster on and find inspiration to bring the truly cool and original to our tables.

Everyone has a deviled egg tray, or an apple slicer, or a shoehorn. How did we end up with that crap?! By buying before we vetted the product! Somehow, we also end up building brews that are our proverbial deviled egg trays. Join us as we explore a few criteria that can help keep us all from building brews that will end up collecting dust. Let's focus on building actually useful decks.

Strixhaven gave us a lot to work with. And with a couple of releases between us and the wealth of legends that set gave us, with a return to Innistrad around the corner, it's time to take in as much tech from the wizarding school as we can. Join us as Andy drops a veritable deluge of decks from listeners, brewed from Strixhaven and the accompanying Commander 2021. From attacking artifact creatures, to unsung voltrons, to life gain, and of course, spell-slinging, it's all here.

We've been on a bit of a wavelength lately of making sure that we all acknowledge that this game only happens if we have people willing to bring a deck to the table, sit down with us, and play. On that continued note, Andy brings a collection of thoughts from a decade of experience in bringing new players into the game. From teaching them the mechanics of the game, giving them a reason to be excited about Magic, finding something for people to identify with, and cultivating hospitable games, Andy and Kyle are opening up what it has looked like to bring new players fully into the EDH fold. ------------------- Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/legendarycreature YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/legendarycreaturepodcast Twitter: @legend_creature ------------------- Intro and outro music artists vary each episode, but comes courtesy of the sexy souls of the following artists: Home – https://home96.bandcamp.com/ Protector 101 – https://protector101.bandcamp.com/ Dan Terminus – https://dan-terminus.bandcamp.com/ Silver Richards – https://silverrichards.bandcamp.com/

Some commanders are so beyond use that pasture isn't a good enough place for them. They need to go to the land that the light doesn't touch, to the shadowlands. They so break the mold and design that they deserve to be ignored. Kykar is ready to cross over into those realms. Andy and Kyle explore all the ways that Kyle has sinned against the playgroup with his various iterations around Kykar. They also discuss what makes Kykar a seeming design faux pas and propose a few ideas that might itch archetype scratches that you foolishly thought Kykar would reach.

Are those pet concepts in a deck really getting the flavor you want into your games? Andy and Kyle talk about flavoring the baked potato that is our commander decks. Is that niche card or category delivering on the imagined interaction when the deck was brewed, giving you a nuanced and satisfyingly flavorful Magic experience? Or are there cases where we might be better served by getting back to basics with a deck and just delivering on a known Magic palette pleaser?

This becomes a theme every time we do one of these, but do you remember Kaldheim? Yeah, the set from the beginning of this year.
