The Results Are In: EDHREC'S NEW Saltiest Cards!

<p>This is not a drill: EDHREC's Salt Polling has returned! Head to <a href="http://edhrec.com/salt">edhrec.com/salt</a> to get voting on Commander cards that you think induce a little salt into the games. These Salt Scores are a community-based polling system that can help players identify cards that are useful to announce during pre-game discussions, to make sure everyone in the game is on the same page about the gaming experience they're looking for. Plus, it's a ton of fun, and you can even find some hidden gems while you're voting!</p>
<p>If you'd like to know more, you can also watch this video from last year's Salt Polls to see how the process works. We're excited to see the results!</p>

EDHREC Announcement - The Salt Polling Returns!

<h1>EDH, Visualized</h1>
<p>Hey folks! We're excited to help announce a new tool from the fabulous folks at <a href="https://luckypaper.co/">Lucky Paper</a>! In case you hadn't already seen <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/EDH/comments/vrwwk6/we_love_commander_so_we_made_an_interactive_map/">their big reveal</a>, Lucky Paper worked in partnership with EDHREC to craft an interactive Commander Map that creates a visualization of the <em>entire</em> EDH format. Trust us, it's a doozy.</p>
<p><a href="https://luckypaper.co/resources/commander-map/">Check out the Commander Map here!</a></p>
<p>Compiling information from the over 1.2 million decks in the EDHREC database, this is a wild tool that helps bring Commander data to life. Whether you want to view the format holistically or want to closely examine a specific theme or a specific commander, there's a ton to explore.</p>
<p>Jett, one of the main masterminds behind this project, has also provided a wealth of additional information about this new resource. You should definitely go read his fantastic analysis, <em><a href="https://luckypaper.co/articles/mapping-the-magic-landscape/">Mapping the Magic Landscape</a>, </em>and I highly, <em>highly</em> recommend listening in on <a href="https://luckypaper.co/podcast/introducing-the-commander-map/">Lucky Paper Radio's deep-dive podcast</a> introducing the project, too. You can even check out <a href="https://umap-learn.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html">Lucky Paper's algorithm</a>!</p>
<p>There are more than 3,500 maps to explore, so join us in giving a huge round of applause to these cartographers. This is some high-key wizardry from some brilliant mathemagicians. Enjoy!</p>
