Composite Golem art by Mark Tedin Double or Nothing Many moons ago, we here at Low Market made a brief double-foray into Pauper Commander, a Commander subformat where any Uncommon creature can be at the helm of deck composed entirely of Commons. My love for this obscure little format has not diminished, so we're bringing […]
Historically Speaking — 'Nacatl' means what?!
Words have weight. A heft, like a cleaver, or a rolling pin. Words like imperator or carnifex, tribune, or legion evoke certain images, certain moods; they carry deep over and undertones and implications. Take the previous examples—they evoke a Roman flavor so before we even see a card, we've drawn expectations. Look at Licia: Words […]
UN-derdog's Corner — Dr. Julius Jumblemorph

If you noticed the title, we are focusing on one of the silver-bordered legends from the newest set, Unstable! While silver-bordered cards are only legal until the banned and restricted announcement for Commander in January, I thought it would […]

Commander Focus — Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist
Typical Selesnya. Making everyone else play by harsh rules that they themselves gleefully ignore. It's an unusual and non-standard definition of the word "duel" when one side of a dispute presents one champion and the other side gets to respond with their entire army. The Precon Effect At this "early" date, if we look […]

Underdog's Corner — Stonebrow, Krosan Hero
Clean and Simple Hello, one and all! Welcome to the Underdog's Corner. If you are a first-time reader, this is a series that covers a legendary creature that I think is either underplayed or underrated. Usually the commanders you see are janky commanders that require a bit a work, and other times I cover commanders […]

Uncompetitive Spirit — Pentagram
You all know how it goes. You make the calls. You put the brews (or soda) in the fridge. You set the stage and make room around the kitchen table for yourself and three other powerful mages. And then four show up. So what do you do? You could just go ahead and play EDH […]

Turning Data into Decks part 2 — Creating Chaos!
Hello my fellow mad scientists! Kya here again! I'm overjoyed with the response and feedback across the net about my first article. There are definitely those who have strong opinions about both Net Decking and Group Hug. I expected Net Decking to turn a few heads, but the real surprise was those against the concept of […]

60 to 100 — The Greatest (God-Pharaoh's) Gift
Smell that? No, not your weird uncle and his "cologne", that he keeps hanging from his rear-view window. Yes, that other smell. The good one. It's that post-Pro Tour smell. Some innovation popped up like I told you it would, and, since I am a man of my word, I'm here to jam the most […]
