These days there are a lot of nifty effects in Magic, and there are a lot of redundancies. This helps in Commander with consistency and using less tutor effects, but there are still some effects that for some obvious and not obvious reasons are pretty rare. Amongst these are life total changing abilities, where a […]

Bell Borca is a Boros commander I don't see often, so I thoughtI'd revisit him after a year or so and see what's going on. Though hamstrung on MTGO because of command specific cards and programing issues, I still feel like this commander can make a decent control deck, with a few outlets to victory […]

While this has become a rarer occurance, I still see Top being used to decks where it does close to nothing for the strategy and just takes up time. In this video, I aim to address this and say that top should not be used in decks that just don't need it. Follow me on […]

I remember when Erebos was spoiled during Theros, and immediately thought they would make a great bleed deck inclusion, or life drain if you prefer. Had that deck in 60 card casual for a while, and it preformed rather well. Eventually Commander became my main focus, and Erebos has featured in the 99 in many […]

In this episode I'm talking about some of the best repeatable Mono-White ramp outside of blinking things to death: Weathered Wayfarer. It can tutor up any land you need and has relevant creature types to boot, so why doesn't it see more play? Let's answer that question. Check out Facebook for my latest posts @DurdleMTG […]

Back to the dusk of Shadowmoor for a journey with the Sapling of Colfenor. While we have more commander these days in BG that aren't graveyard centric, we still have far too many imo. So, let's try some random life gain and top deck schemes to bring our plans to fruition. Deck List: https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/28-06-22-sapling-of-colfenor/ Check […]

On to our next card, and suggestion from the comments, Storvald, Frost Giant Jarl. Bant, or GWU, is a fairly well worn color combination that can do a lot of flexible things and generate value. Storvald, on the surface, doesn't seem like it will do that. It is true that is wont do it alone […]

This deck was something I was going to put together when Ikoria was first being spoiled. I eventually went on to other things and the deck never got built. So, while I was scrolling through the myriad of decks I have online, I came across the old version one of this deck. I remade it […]

Today on Why Though I ask why someone should use Evolution Charm, part of a cycle of mono colored charms from Planar Chaos. Follow me on Twitter @DurdleMTG for the latest videos and posts.

We're going allllll the wwaaaaayyyy back to my very first general for EDH ever, Razia, Boros Archangel. While I started playing during Champions of Kamigawa and loved the game fairly quickly, it was Guilds of Ravnica and the indomitable Boros Guildmaster that captured my imagination. Ever since, Angels and the Boros Legion have stuck with […]
