Pyramid Theory 101 — Caw Blade
Greetings everyone, I'm back once again to highlight deck construction through the use of Pyramid Theory. This time I want to focus on themed decks. A themed deck is a deck which is build around a theme, rather than a commander. Tribal decks are some of the most common examples of this. Some other possible […]
Commander Showdown — Roon vs Brago
Commander Showdown is a series that compares and contrast two similar commanders, analyzes differences in strategy and deck construction, and evaluates how those differences are represented by the data here on EDHREC. Modern Masters 2017 is just around the corner, and the set is chock full of amazing cards and sweet draft archetypes. The one […]
Burning Inquiry — Hungry Hungry Multani
Some things stand alone. French fries, for example. The phrase "with a side of fries" is a tragedy and shouldn't exist. I'll take fries a la cart any day, giving much thanks for such a bounty. But...have you ever had fries with a milkshake? Now, hold on, because you read that wrong. You see, what […]
Underdog's Corner — Saffi Eriksdotter
This article is Round 5 of the Underdog’s Corner, a series spotlighting various lesser-used commanders and their place in the format. Each article makes the argument for a single commander that deserves more play, as well as highlighting key cards and synergies. Welcome back to another round of the Underdog's Corner! In this installment, I continue last […]
EDH Political Science — “You Say You Want a Revolution”
Power to the Polis I watched the best player at the table crumble. Yes, I did want to stomp his face in for taking me out first in the prior week’s commander pod, but it was much more than that. He was the clear enemy to me and the people to my left and right. […]
Non-Basically Speaking — Oloro, Ageless Ascetic
Hello friends and fellow lifegainers, welcome back to EDHREC and our continuing biweekly column, Non-Basically Speaking, the series that strives to identify non-basic lands that should be considered valuable staples or hidden gems based on their visibility on EDHREC. In previous articles we focused on present day Commander favorites Atraxa and Breya, so I felt […]
Low Market — Ravos + Tymna Cleric Tribal
The Choice is Clear-ic Welcome back one and all to Low Market, and my apologies for my absolutely awful section-title pun. When coming up with budget decklists for this segment, sometimes I need to a little bit before I come across a theme. But as a close friend pointed out: "Bryce, you love tribal decks. […]
Alternative Outcomes — Zur, Master Reanimator
Welcome to the home of Alternative Outcomes, a series of self-expression through the development and brewing of alternative builds, often of popular commanders. The name’s “Dev”, and I will be your guide on these journeys. I have been a proud Magic: the Gathering player for over fifteen years and have competitive experience across multiple formats. […]
Partner Focus — Silas Renn, Seeker Adept
combines the sneering punchable face of Martin Shkreli with the haughty annoyance of C3P0's body. He's a fun guy at parties. But enough about the card art. He's a 2/2 with Deathtouch. If he does combat damage to a player, you can cast a dead artifact from your graveyard. You still have to pay the mana […]
Singleton Guild Wheel — Wrexial and the Gimme Gimme's
This article is part 5 of a 10 part series covering the Singleton Guild Wheel Project, a 10 deck project in which there is only a single copy of any non-basic land among the 10 decks. Each deck uses the color combination of a different Ravnican guild. The methodology is introduced here and expanded upon each […]
