- Commander Showdown — Sygg vs Sygg
ArticlesSygg-nature Move In honor of the recent release of Duel Decks: Merfolk vs Goblins, we're going to do something fun for this week's Commander Showdown. Normally this series compares and contrasts commanders with similar abilities.

- Weird Harvest — Cyclonic Rift is my Commander!
ArticlesWelcome back to Weird Harvest, the column devoted to all things jank. This week we have our sights set on an Esper commander that tries to do something on its color identity. I know, the notion shocked me as well when it initially occurred to me. As I contemplated this thought for a bit it […]
- Turning Data to Decks — Embracing New Players
ArticlesHello Everyone! Kya here! Also known slightly better as The Girl with the Lotus Tattoo! Who am I you ask? The same as you, a Commander player who enjoys spending my spare time slinging spells and talking smack while doing so. Okay...well maybe you're just into that first part about slinging spells, but I just […]

- Replacement Commanders — Dueling is the Cat's Meow
ArticlesWe are back (back again), readers! This is Replacement commanders, where we look at each of the eight new “other” legendary creatures released with the four tribal decks in the commander 2017 product.

- Weird Harvest — The Truth is Out There...
ArticlesThere’s something to be said about the unexpected. Since our format is predominantly multiplayer, it has the potential to yield some hilarious results. There’s also something janky about the idea of setting our opponents up to expect one thing and then hit them with another. I recently caught up on a bunch of episodes of […]
- Low Market — Greatness, At Various Costs
ArticlesKarametra, God of Harvests art by Eric Deschamps Greatness, At Various Costs Hopefully I don't sound like a broken record when I tell you that I love building packages (i.e. groups of related cards that can be searched for by a central card) in Commander. "Really Bryce," some of you might say, "I didn't catch on […]
- EDH Political Science — Straw Man and Threat Assessment
ArticlesPolitics wouldn’t be the same without lying. There is a precedent for it. Lying as part of any political system exists simply because there are clear advantages to doing so. A politician can get caught lying and still come out ahead. The fact that information is out there is more important than if it was […]
- Low Market — Lightning Strikes Twice
ArticlesSaskia the Unyielding art by Greg Opalinski Lightning Strikes Twice Whether you're a grizzled Magic veteran or a bushy-tailed new player, chances are good that at some point before learning to play you listened to someone discussing the game and said to yourself, "I recognize the words they're using, but they may as well be speaking a different language."

- Underdog's Corner — A Thousand Years of Dissent
ArticlesEvery story needs its own underdog, and every underdog with a story needs their chance to rise to the occasion. When this series first started, I evoked the imagery of Rudy, the Toon Squad, and Gold-Medalist Olympic hockey team. These were all characters and teams that defied the odds and had their moment to shine. […]
