Making the Cut - Taking on the Dump, Part 2
Optimizing a Pile Last time on Making the Cut, we looked at an initial dump of cards for a Lazav, the Multifarious +1/+1 counter deck featuring as many cheap creatures as possible, and then did an initial cut based on the archetypes we knew the deck was going to need in the final version. To start […]

60 to 100 — A Less Constricted Muldrotha
Well hey there party people! It's been a while hasn't it? Hopefully you didn't miss our forays and fun too much. I'm back this week with a deck that, of course, I love because if you've been listening to the EDHRECast(which you should be!) you'll know that I was so confident in this being the […]

Commander Showdown — Marath vs Ghave
Counters, Tokens, and Combos When people think of Commander cards, there are often a few EDH-specific cards that come to mind. Sol Ring, for example, or Cyclonic Rift. One of the biggest is Doubling Season, a card whose price is exorbitantly high and whose demand comes almost exclusively from Commander players. While it's true that […]

Weird Harvest — Unexpected Results
Hello everyone! Welcome back for another Weird Harvest, where we strive to keep EDH janky. This week I’m going to do something I haven’t done in a while and really step outside of my comfort zone. As you’ve likely gathered I’m mostly an Abzan mage, and I lean very heavily on the Orzhov removal package. […]
