June 29, 2018 by
Patrick Sippola
An Artificial Review Once again, this man, this combo-playing man, was tasked with the colorless cards for the review of the new set, Core Set 2019. I’m happy to oblige because there are a ton of really sweet new artifacts in the set, plus some really spicy reprints! Let’s get started before I lose my […]

EDHREC Battlebond Review — Colorless and Lands
June 1, 2018 by
Patrick Sippola
The colorless spells and lands are always where I end up looking when I want to try and guess what the next staple of the Commander format. Will we find a diamond in the rough or is it all chaff? (Hint: there are some really sweet cards coming in for Commander players.) Let's find out! […]

EDHREC Dominaria Set Review — Green
April 19, 2018 by
Patrick Sippola
Once again, Wizards of the Coast has released a set that has many calling Dominaria a "tour de force" and "fun for the whole family!" Don't believe me? Just take a look at these new green cards. Since Dominaria is a legendary themed set and this is a website dedicated to Commander, I'm going to […]

Combo Corner — Cascade
January 23, 2018 by
Patrick Sippola
Guess who's back! Patrick Sippola is back and better than ever, and I'm here to crack some mad, homebrewed combos on you with a smile on my face and the stack as confusing as possible. At least that is going to happen this time around, where it isn't a particular card I'm going to build […]

Rivals of Ixalan Review — Black
January 11, 2018 by
Patrick Sippola
Black is the best color in Magic: the Gathering and I will not hear any argument or evidence otherwise. That's why I get to do the black review because the best writer gets to do the best color. I will also ignore all evidence to the contrary on this matter as well. Tetzimoc, Primal Death: […]

Combo Corner — Infinity Golem
January 9, 2018 by
Patrick Sippola
Unstable introduced some really interesting concepts to the game of Magic: the Gathering, some of which are probably straight busted when built around properly. I'm specifically thinking of Rules Lawyer. The only problem is that the people who would want to build a deck around Rules Lawyer are people who already know how he works […]

Combo Corner — Paradox Engine
October 30, 2017 by
Patrick Sippola
Just over half a year ago, a card was announced that made many people call for it to be banned even before it was in our hands: Paradox Engine. Some even believed it would end up being banned in standard, which was hyperbolic, and at times I can even see why someone might want Paradox […]

Combo Corner — The Scarab God
July 7, 2017 by
Patrick Sippola
Not too long ago, the plane of Amonkhet learned of the existence of three previously unknown gods that might actually be more powerful than the ones they know and love. Some of you may know this already, but I recently made a deck with The Scarab God for the Commander Time! podcast with the purpose of […]

Hour of Devastation Review — Blue
June 30, 2017 by
Patrick Sippola
Welcome to Hour of Devastation review of blue, where we will take a look at the most powerful offerings from this small set. Maybe I should have said most devastating offerings. I’ll be here all week, or at least until the end of the article. Unesh, Criosphinx Sovereign I would be remiss if I didn’t […]
