Grusilda, Monster Masher art by Mathias Kollros Here on Low Market, we've only just started playing with Unstable, and we're already having an un-credible time with it; so much so that we're coming back around with another silver-bordered commander. This time, though, we're building for flexibility, with a deck capable of using a silver-bordered commander ([card]Grusilda, […]

Words have weight. A heft, like a cleaver, or a rolling pin. Words like imperator or carnifex, tribune, or legion evoke certain images, certain moods; they carry deep over and undertones and implications. Take the previous examples—they evoke a Roman flavor so before we even see a card, we've drawn expectations. Look at Licia: Words […]

Welcome to December's first installment of Uncompetitive Spirit! Here we celebrate not only the holidays, but also the quirky ways to play EDH with our friends - format variants! In this article series, I discuss the basic rules and strategies for each of these variants, and I also throw out a deck generated by this […]

Okay FINE. Yeah. We'll look at Unstable commanders. Sometimes a new legendary creature comes out that values other cards in a new way, making cards that were previously useless suddenly amazing in the right EDH deck. The last time I wrote about this sort of thing was with [card]Mairsil, the Pretender[/card] and a fresh look […]

Here we are again, ladies and goblins! Starting off another installment of Replacement Commanders. This series looks at all eight of the “alternate” Commanders from the Commander 2017 product, instead of the face eminence legendary creatures from each deck. From there, we break down the replacement commander based on the stats, colors and abilities of […]

Thanksgiving has creeped up upon us, stealthily, like a...stealthy thing. And so of course, instead of devolving into what the turkey meant in Mesoamerica (it was called the Chalchiuhtotolin, or jeweled bird, a favored animal of the Mexica trickster god Tezcatlipoca—oh damn there I go ahead willy-nilly) we will dive into a bit of game […]

This week in Sam vs. The Internet I take on a deck that pushing up the popularity charts week in and week out since its release. [card]Kess, Dissident Mage[/card] is not normally the kind of commander I like to write about as she doesn’t facilitate a specific strategy and instead supports generic “goodstuff” style control […]

Hello my fellow mad scientists! Kya here again! I'm overjoyed with the response and feedback across the net about my first article. There are definitely those who have strong opinions about both Net Decking and Group Hug. I expected Net Decking to turn a few heads, but the real surprise was those against the concept of […]

Ladies, gentlemen, changelings…here we are again! Another installment of Replacement Commanders, the series where we look at the “other guys/girls” from Commander 2017 and break down some different strategies that may have not been represented well with the precons. We look at what you, the people are building with the help of EDHREC.com, the site's […]

Sygg-nature Move In honor of the recent release of Duel Decks: Merfolk vs Goblins, we're going to do something fun for this week's Commander Showdown. Normally this series compares and contrasts commanders with similar abilities. For example, Tishana vs Zegana focused on two Simic card drawing powerhouses, and Hapatra vs The Scorpion God honed in on commanders that use -1/-1 […]
