These were all characters and teams that defied the odds and had their moment to shine. […]

Hello again readers and welcome back to Replacement Commanders.

I put up a […]

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? [card]Wasitora, Nekoru Queen[/card] is a hard-working mother who just wants to feed her litter of cute […]

V for Venom-Detta Voilà! In view, the vast valleys of Ixalan! However, now that we've arrived at this vivid, vibrant vista, we must veer our vessel back to Amonkhet! We volunteered to visit two voracious veterans before the Hour of Devastation vanishes, and they would be very vexed and vindictive if we vacated our vow. If you, valuable viewer, would rather […]

Every week, I gaze balefully at the perpetually empty "Planeswalker" subcategory of my deck template, yearning for the day that I will stuff it to the brim with planeswalkers. That day has finally come: […]

The eminence ability allows us to play a commander that is lurking behind the scenes, making the team stronger, and only entering the fray when an urgent decisive strike is needed.

Yes, that's right everyone, a double dose of my writing prowess here! In addition to my regularly scheduled article we get to run down some hot new toys coming out with Ixalan. I won't dilly dally too much here, since red is what we all know is the worst color in Commander. There are some […]

Welcome back to Intellectual Offering. This week I’m excited to let my inner Timmy ROAR and talk a little about [card]Gishath, Sun’s Avatar[/card].
