I’m Bernardo Melibeu and this is The Epic Experiment, a series where we throw all common sense aside and experiment with some unusual cards, effectively changing how we normally build our deck. Is it going to work? Who knows?! We’re making science here. When you’re an Izzet mage, blowing things up […]

Scot Sutton 
Your Worst Best Nightmare Hi everyone! Welcome back to the Knowledge Pool! This week we're beginning a new miniseries I'm lovingly referring to as the "Nightmare Series." The concept of this series is simple: demo the decks that haunt our dreams. I think most of us with consistent playgroups have a deck or two that […]

Commander Focus — Vaevictis Asmadi, the Dire
July 27, 2018 by
Nate Burgess 
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 […]

DM Cross 
Silver and Gold We are back again, faithful readers! My name is still Seth Cross (but my friends call me “DM”) and this is still Uncommonder, the series inspired by Dominaria’s plethora of legendary creatures printed at the uncommon rarity.

The Knowledge Pool — Kresh the Bloodbraided
May 23, 2018 by
Scot Sutton
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 […]

General Medicine — Savra's Supreme Sacrifice Engine
May 10, 2018 by
Robin Kaas
Welcome back friends to another edition of General Medicine! Today we’re taking a look at a two-color deck very much built around the commander championing it, Peter’s brew of Savra, Queen of the Golgari! But before we get into the list and a preliminary diagnosis, I want to expand upon the color pairing in general. […]
