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 […]

General Medicine - Vaevictis Asmadi, the Dire
July 12, 2018 by
Robin Kaas 
Welcome back to another edition of General Medicine! This week, we’re taking a look at a brand new Jund commander, and an Elder Dragon at that. I’m talking, of course, about Vaevictis Asmadi, the Dire. Vaevictis Asmadi, the Dire is the latest in a long line of Jund-colored commanders who play around with sacrificing things. […]

June 29, 2018 by
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. There were twenty of the silver-stamped Commander options that Wizards of the Coast gave us […]

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. […]

Weird Harvest — Control Denied
February 23, 2018 by
Christopher Russell 
It’s that time again! Welcome back to Weird Harvest, where misfit commanders wield forgotten spells to create head scratching situations. This week we tackle a reader request from Darrenn E Canton! He asked if we could break Ertai, the Corrupted. We’re going to shatter this jank commander or die trying. Ertai: Just Add Oil This […]

Commander Focus — Wasitora, Nekoru Queen
October 4, 2017 by
Nate Burgess
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 […]

Partner Focus — Reyhan, Last of the Abzan
July 4, 2017 by
Nate Burgess
Reyhan, Last of the Abzan is one lonely (and angry) warrior khan. As her comrades die around her, she rallies strength from their sacrifice and inspires the rest of the troops under her command. That inspiration is a fluid that flows from the fallen to the survivors in her presence. Whenever a creature you control […]
