Combo Corner — Spy Kit
Patrick here, the resident Johnny at EDHREC. Sometimes I see a card that causes me to think, “What can I do with this?” This month is a prime example of this situation. I spent a good portion of my youth without a consistent playgroup, which led to me reading cards over and over again, trying […]
Pure//Simple — What's Yours is Mine
Welcome back to Pure//Simple, the article series that tries to take the mystery out of card choices. Knowing what cards are good in Commander is one of the first steps towards becoming well-versed in the format, but knowing why certain cards are good is even more important. Last time, I showcased two ways of building […]
Dig Through Time — Odyssey Block
For today's Dig Through Time, let's delve back to 2001-2002 for Odyssey block. This block was composed of Odyssey, Torment, and Judgment, and gave us the mechanics flashback, threshold and madness.

EDH Political Science — Battle Hymn of the Republic

Low Market — Unscythe, Killer of Wallets
Killer of Metagames For many intenet denizens, April Fools' Day is an opportunity for pranks ranging from the hilarious to the inane. Here at Low Market Headquarters, it's an opportunity for some...unconventional deck building. Maybe with, gee, I don't know... a multicolored legendary artifact – equipment? Yes, Unscythe! Now, as a non-creature card, Unscythe is […]
Partner Focus — Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa
He is the Peter Pan of Magic, because he can convince the rest of the children that they can fly. They can't really fly, but they think they can. It's because of the hallucinogenic mushrooms he found on the island and then fed to the rest of the kids, just like in Peter Pan. You don't […]
Singleton Guild Wheel — Daxos' Enchanted Edition
This article is part 6 of a 10 part series covering the Singleton Guild Wheel Project, a 10 deck project where there is only a single copy of any non-basic land among the 10 decks.

EDH Benchwarmers — Roon of the Hidden Realm
It is very hard to build a deck when you limit yourself from using any of the suggested cards on EDHREC. I'm just saying, making a deck that doesn't use or is a weird and wild experience. Why am I doing this? So that we can have this talk. This talk where I show you […]
Ultra Budget Brews — Borborygmos Enraged
Hello, and welcome to my article series “Ultra Budget Brews”! This is a series where we attempt to build fun, and relatively competitive decks in which no card, commander included, costs more than a single George Washington (that's one U.S. dollar, for our non-American listeners). Before we continue, I should introduce myself. I’m Andrew, and […]
