Slowing Down the Competition — Putting Combos on Ice

Hey everyone, Kya here! Happy belated April Fools! I hope everyone enjoyed our little gag! After some recent games, I thought I would shift my focus onto a slightly different subject this week. At various points throughout your EDH experience, you might find yourself stuck in a competitive environment. I know that where I live […]

The Knowledge Pool — Admiral Beckett Brass

Welcome back to the Knowledge Pool! My last two articles focused on decks aiming to do "big" things, and have been inspired by decks I've personally built in real life. This week, I want to go in a different strategic direction, and focus on a commander that's new to me. As Dominaria spoilers begin to […]

Underdog's Corner — Tishana, Voice of Thunder

Recent-Past Reviewed Hello, everyone! Welcome back to another edition of the Underdog's Corner! As we move closer towards the release of Dominaria, I thought to look back on the last block, Ixalan.

Pure // Simple — Lose Weight, Not Games Part Two

Last time on Pure//Simple, the article series that explores the why behind the best cards in the Commander format, I went over a few “I win” buttons. Cards that when you cast them in the right situations and you’re practically guaranteed victory. This time, I’m completing the list with a few more powerful Commander spells, […]

Uncompetitive Spirit — Closing the book

It's time to put this series to a rest. At least for now. I do have some suggestions I want to mull over and test with my own playgroup which I might cover in the future. An example is the "EDH with Planeswalkers for commanders" variant, which I personally find extremely interesting. That said, it's […]
