Where Are My Dragons? Welcome to the EDHREC Red Set Review for Core Set 2019. We have some exciting new fire-breathers to look over, so let's get right to it. Sarkhan Three mana for a planeswalker is a good start. It will take a while to get to the ultimate, but neither +1 ability is bad, […]

Partner Focus — Battlebond
May 28, 2018 by
Nate Burgess
Hey, there's a new set with the partner mechanic! That means I can dust off this article series and talk some more about partners in Commander decks. I'm not talking about how to play Battlebond, or Two-Headed Giant, or drafting, or any of that, just looking at these cards and how they stand up in […]

Commander Focus — Grand Warlord Radha
May 4, 2018 by
Nate Burgess
Picture in your mind an elf that taps for mana. These are colloquially known as "mana dorks". Given that descriptor, you can probably extrapolate some ideas about this type of character. Do those ideas include decent power and toughness, haste, and an urge to charge into combat? Grand Warlord Radha is in fact an elf, […]

3 and a Black, Green, and Blue. Legendary Creature - Elemental Avatar, 6/6 No combat abilities... why should we care about this commander? During each of your turns, you may play up to one permanent card of each permanent type from your graveyard. Oh my... Your Graveyard and You For Muldrotha, the graveyard is a […]

February 9, 2018 by
Nate Burgess
It is thus proclaimed on this day that Azor, the Lawbringer is a Legendary Creature Sphinx with 6/6 and Flying. When Azor comes into play, thou shalt get a free Sphinx's Decree. When Azor attacks, thou can cast Sphinx's Revelation. And thus it is proclaimed as law. The law has been brought. By Azor. To […]

EDHREC Rivals of Ixalan Set Review — Gold and Colorless
January 12, 2018 by
Nate Burgess
Blue/Green Merfolk Kumena, Tyrant of Orazca — If you read the stories on the Wizards web site, then you know that the Kumena character is actually a minor villain. If you don't read the stories, then maybe you could infer that by the word "Tyrant" and the way his manic smile resembles Jared Loughner's mug […]

Commander UNFocus — Grusilda, Monster Masher
December 26, 2017 by
Nate Burgess
Do you enjoy forcing your opponents to put all their cards in the graveyard so that you can rummage through it and pick the best stuff to use for yourself? The Scarab God does. Would you like to mash two of the best dead creatures together to make something that has the combined might of […]

Commander UNFocus — Baron Von Count
December 4, 2017 by
Nate Burgess
Okay FINE. Yeah. We'll look at Unstable commanders. Sometimes a new legendary creature comes out that values other cards in a new way, making cards that were previously useless suddenly amazing in the right EDH deck. The last time I wrote about this sort of thing was with Mairsil, the Pretender and a fresh look […]

Commander Focus — Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist
November 30, 2017 by
Nate Burgess
Typical Selesnya. Making everyone else play by harsh rules that they themselves gleefully ignore. It's an unusual and non-standard definition of the word "duel" when one side of a dispute presents one champion and the other side gets to respond with their entire army. The Precon Effect At this "early" date, if we look […]

Commander Focus — Mairsil, the Pretender
October 17, 2017 by
Nate Burgess
Some commanders are considered to be "glass cannons", in the sense that all the offensive power of the deck is concentrated through a single creature. If that creature is repeatedly removed or otherwise subdued, then the deck just stops being a threat. However, if that creature has enough protection or can evade detrimental spells, then […]
