The Knowledge Pool -- Saskia the Unyielding
June 27, 2018 by
Scot Sutton 
Hi everyone! Welcome back to The Knowledge Pool. It's been a little while, but last time I teased a deck based around Helm of the Host, and after much tinkering I've come up with a list that I believe will abuse it to the fullest extent. We're going to explore the blood-drenched world of Saskia […]

Commander Showdown — Valduk vs Kemba
May 16, 2018 by
Joseph Schultz 
Red & White Equipment Red and white are frequently admonished for their weaknesses in the Commander format. Both colors have limited access to mana ramp and card draw effects, which makes for a difficult time in a multiplayer environment. In 1-on-1 games like Standard and Modern, Red and White make up for this lack of […]

60 to 100 — Valduk and the Ultra Budget Brew Takeover!!!
May 7, 2018 by
Matt Morgan 
That's right folks, you read the headline right. This may be the place where you normally find a sweet brew inspired by some 60-card stack, but that's not the case this time. Standard is in flux, Modern has been stable (which is a very good thing!), and Reserve List buyouts have me fussy about Legacy […]
