Commander 2018 Set Review - Gold (Pt 1)
Commander 2018 It is finally that time! Commander 2018 is here! I've described this release as a Commander player's Super Bowl, and this year's new legends don't disappoint. In the first five years of its lifetime, the Commander products were done in full color cycles. After that, with Commander 2017, the product was reduced to […]

Jumbo Commander - Gyrus, Waker of Corpses Commander 2018 Deck Tech
Gyrus Waker of Corpses is a jund value hydra engine. This toolbox commander lets you pull creatures straight out of your graveyard. Some people, myself included, bemoaned the fact that Gyrus forces you to exile the creatures and only get them for your combat phase. I have grown to see this as an advantage. I […]

Commander Focus — Vaevictis Asmadi, the Dire
Vaevictis, New and Improved Behold, Vaevictus Asmadi, the Dire! A new upgrade to an old classic. The previous version of this Elder Dragon had firebreathing, as well as treebreathing and swampbreathing. While this ability might be fascinating to reptilian nutritionists, it's a bit mediocre compared to what modern commanders can do. The upgraded version gets […]

The Knowledge Pool — Kresh the Bloodbraided
Hi everyone! Welcome back to The Knowledge Pool! Most commanders have an obvious theme and encourage us to play specific cards. This is apparent when we consider the decks I've presented so far. Mayael wants us to play with big creatures, Trostani wants us to make tokens, and Kydele wants to untap. I personally love […]

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 […]
Commander Focus — Wasitora, Nekoru Queen
Some people like cats. Some people like dogs. Some people like both cats and dogs, so there's a bit of overlap on that Venn diagram. But what, you presumably ask, about the people who like both cats and dragons? Wasitora, Nekoru Queen is a hard-working mother who just wants to feed her litter of cute […]
