Vampirates of the Caribbean According to our charts, we'll reach the shores of Ixalan on the 29th of this month. Before we reach our Voyage's End, let us take stock of our crew, and of the bloodthirsty beasts we may encounter upon this Treacherous Terrain. It's time we explore the black cards of Ixalan to deduce […]

Replacement Commanders — Building Decks for Alternative C17 Commanders
September 15, 2017 by
DM Cross 
Well, hello there readers. My name is Seth Cross, though I commonly go by "DM" (and yes, it does stand for Dungeon Master.) I have played Magic: the Gathering on and off since I was 8 years old, nearly 20 years ago. For the past four years, I became obsessed with the Commander format and […]

Low Market — Pi-rogues!
September 13, 2017 by
Quinn Miller 
Admiral Beckett Brass art by Jason Rainville I Like the Cut of your Jib Getcher cutlass and hoist the mainsail: we're headed to the plane of Ixalan, a world of wonder and adventure and complex tribal mechanical themes. We had many options for this week's budget deck: a crew of pirates led by Admiral […]

Commander Focus — Licia, Sanguine Tribune
September 5, 2017 by
Nate Burgess 
Now that I've covered each of the partner commanders in their own articles (until Commander 2019 Partnerpalooza, that is), we need some new legendary creatures to talk about. Luckily, Commander 2017 is here with some new hotness. In the spirit of my articles, we don't have that much data about these particular commanders yet, which makes the article […]

60 to 100 — Cat Dragon Stompy
September 4, 2017 by
Matt Morgan 
Howdy folks! Thanks for coming back to 60 to 100, the articles where we transform a 60-card archetype into a deck fit for 100-card singleton commandering. This week we take another request from a reader to cover the casual favorite Dragon Stompy deck. So, since we did just get our new tribal decks in Commander […]

EDH Political Science — Mathas, FRIEND Seeker
August 25, 2017 by
Rick Amundson 
The world lived in chaos before 1945. War was the status quo for many places through out history. In the age we have lived in since the end of World War II there have been many quarrels and fights between super powers. Deaths have occurred; however, on a large scale, the world has less violence […]

Low Market — Mairsil's Charge Counter Combo
August 23, 2017 by
Quinn Miller
Mairsil, the Pretender art by Izzy. Madness Flashbacks In Magic lore, the Dominarian wizard Mairsil drove mad a powerful mage named Ith. This nicely aligns with my experiences of Mairsil, because this card drove me insane upon its release. I knew within seconds that I had to, had to, theorycraft this budget deck for my […]

Weird Harvest — Pharika, Plague Politics
August 18, 2017 by
Christopher Russell 
Hello everyone and welcome to the first installment of Weird Harvest. Over the course of this series I hope to impress upon all of you one of my favorite elements of EDH, and that is using jank during our build process to disrupt our opponents. You may ask yourself, “Why would I ever intentionally put […]

Ultra Budget Brews — Neheb, the Worthy
August 17, 2017 by
Andrew Cummings 
Hello everyone, and welcome back to Ultra Budget Brews, the article series where we build an entire EDH deck where no card costs more than $1. Normally this ends up costing right around $30, so for the cost of around 30 McDoubles from McDonalds, you can have a functional deck that will last you UNTIL […]

Commander Showdown — Taigam vs Taigam
August 16, 2017 by
Joseph Schultz
Alternate Timelines Here on Commander Showdown, we normally take a close look at two commanders whose abilities are very similar. Last week, for example, we went in-depth on The Ur-Dragon vs Scion of the Ur-Dragon. Long before that, we examined Roon vs Brago in a Blink-Bros Brawl. This week, I hope you'll indulge me as we try something […]
