We've all been there. At some point this game which once inspired such lustful joy becomes a frustrating grind. Somewhere between the reserved list and the banned list, netdecking and token promos, boundless infinite combos and constricting real-life circumstances; it is here that players must reconsider the spaces for Magic: The Gathering in their lives.

How do folks!? Welcome back for another edition of 60 to 100, where we accelerate our decks from 60-card formats to 100-card Commander piles of fun! This week was a bit of a conundrum for me. I like brewing decks from scratch, maybe getting some ideas from some of my fellow writers at the site, […]

Let Me Tell You a Story Some time ago, I sat down for a game with my favorite deck, [card]The Gitrog Monster[/card]. A short while into this game, I assembled a small army with an [card]Avenger of Zendikar[/card]. An opponent wiped the board. I dropped a [card]Rampaging Baloths[/card] and began to recreate the army, but […]

The steam engine broke society. It brought the world into the modern era. Industrialization, creating every modern amenity, would not have been possible without it. After the initial design by James Watt there were countless improvements, but there have been no developments with as large of an impact on the world since. When the previews […]

Hello friends and thrifty Commander brewers and welcome back to EDHREC and our continuing bi-weekly 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.

What I did not expect was a smattering of curses, which (save for [card]Wheel of Sun and […]

This article is Round 13 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. A Crawling Sensation Hello, everyone and welcome back to the Underdog's Corner! In my my […]

Currently there are 5,860 decks in the EDHREC database running [card]Beseech the Queen[/card], and not a single one of them should have it as part of the 99. Okay, that's not entirely true. And by not entirely true I mean not even partially true. [card]Beseech the Queen[/card] is a solid card and there are a […]

Triple Showdown Two months ago, I wrote a Commander Showdown about the reigning zombie tribal commanders, [card]Gisa and Geralf[/card] and [card]Grimgrin, Corpse-Born[/card]. Then Hour of Devastation happened, unleashing one of the coolest and most frightening commanders we've seen in a long time: [card]The Scarab God[/card]. The zombie apocalypse never stops, nor do its commanders. We've been […]

Welcome party people! I hope your release weekends went great for Hour of Devastation with some awesome god-pulls.... See what I did there? "God-pulls?" Because there are gods in the set... You know what, I thought it was clever. Don't judge me. Anyways, this week I get to go back to a deck archetype that everyone […]
