Hey Everyone, Kya here! It's been a long few weeks since my last article! I've been out of town quite a bit recently and sadly haven't yet played any Battlebond. Despite my busy schedule though I've always been able to keep getting my game on! It's always interesting going to different parts of the country […]

EDH Player Psychographics — Winning Like a Herm
May 24, 2018 by
Kyle Massa 
Some play EDH for fun. Some play to socialize. Some play to make friends, or cast cards they can't cast in other formats. And then there are those who play for one reason and one reason only. (In the following video, please substitute the word "sports" with "Elder Dragon Highlander.") If you're a Herm or […]

An Introduction to EDH Player Psychographics
May 10, 2018 by
Kyle Massa
Have you ever taken one of those Facebook personality tests? It's okay to admit it. One can only resist the "Which Game of Thrones Character Are You?" quiz for so long. (I got Ned Stark, so I hope I'm not beheaded before I finish this article.) Since I'm a longtime EDH player, I wondered how […]

DM Cross 
Well, hello again, friends! My name is Seth Cross and welcome to my second installment of Uncommonders, a series inspired by the (now fully revealed) 20 Uncommon Legendary Creatures of Dominaria.

The Knowledge Pool — Kydele & Thrasios Part 1
April 11, 2018 by
Scot Sutton
Hi everyone! Welcome back to the Knowledge Pool! This week we're going to be looking at another deck I've personally built and remodeling it with the hope of reaching a more coherent deck list.

Commander Showdown — Marath vs Ghave
April 4, 2018 by
Joseph Schultz 
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 […]

Jeremy Podczerwinski 
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, […]

The commander summary-style pages have been here a long time and provide insight into how decks are built in general, but sometimes […]
