Low Market — Alesha Cycling
The Cycle Unbroken My love of the cycling mechanic is well-documented. How well-documented? Well, I mentioned it at least once, in the cycling subsection of my Hapatra article. What? That's not enough documentation for you? Fine! Then I'll make an entire list based around cycling, and I'll base it on one of my favorite Commander decks: Alesha […]

EDH Political Science — Temmet, Cyberpunk
Do You Feel Lucky, Cyberpunk? Cyber security is something that most people (and until recently many businesses) take for granted. You throw up your firewall, install Norton, and call it good.

Pyramid Theory 101 — Gambling with Power

What do I exactly mean by 'all-in' strategies? All-in strategies are hyperlinear that accept the risks involved with only having one gameplan. Some commanders […]
Commander Showdown — Leovold vs The World
Rest in Pieces If you haven't already heard, EDH had a bit of a shakeup this past Monday: is now banned in Commander. (If you'd like to read the full announcement, you can do so here.) Since Leovold had over 700 decks here on EDHREC, this probably stings for quite a few folks. Due to demand […]
Dig Through Time — Cold Snap
This week in Dig Through Time, we're going to take a trip back to the year I graduated high school, 2006. That's right, today we'll be reviewing WotC's lost design file: Coldsnap. Coldsnap replaced Homelands as the third installment of the Ice Age block. The set hit many of the themes and mechanics of Ice Age, giving us cumulative upkeep, […]
