In my first article, we covered how uncommon commanders are nothing new to Magic: the Gathering, since the first 20 uncommon “Summon Legend” cards […]
The Knowledge Pool — Admiral Beckett Brass
Welcome back to the Knowledge Pool! My last two articles focused on decks aiming to do "big" things, and have been inspired by decks I've personally built in real life. This week, I want to go in a different strategic direction, and focus on a commander that's new to me. As Dominaria spoilers begin to […]

Librarian Lore — The Mysterious Case of the Three-Fingered Dinosaur
Librarian Lore: The Mysterious Case of the Three-Fingered Dinosaur The appearance of the new Elder Dinosaurs and the reinforcements that arrived for the tribe in this new set only made me more determined, as a lifelong Timmy, to have my own personal Jurassic Park in my pocket. Put down your torches and pitchforks, it won’t […]

Commander Showdown — Kumena vs Sygg
Under the Sea Commander Showdown is back! We had a brief bout of Un-Mander articles during the Unstable season, but now we're back to black-bordered Magic, so it's Rivals of Ixalan time! I won't waste time with preamble—these fishy friends were the most-requested matchup for this week's Showdown. You know who they are: [card]Kumena, Tyrant of Orazca[/card] […]

Low Market — Revenge of the Pauper Commander Double Feature
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 […]
