  6. Ep 63 Community Spotlight:
    1. Disclaimer: This is strictly for Casual EDH, cEDH players don’t necessarily face this issue, but I bet they do key in on Thrasios/Tymna (or whatever the best Tier 0 deck is). Also, I imagine our local meta could influence this a bit.
      1. There are lots of Commanders that fit this description. The first one of these I remember was Narset, Enlightened Master (September 26, 2014). The combination of hexproof and lots of extra turn/combat steps makes the deck super hard to interact with. It often feels like you have to have a board wipe on the exact turn they play Narset. I was so bummed, because I opened up a foil copy.
      2. You know this type of Commander, because when you sit down to the table, you immediately feel defensive. For example, when I sit down with my Emry deck, I always immediately let people know that it’s construct tribal, but still has some power/ramp in it. 
      3. We’ve got some patrons that have some pretty unique takes on some decks, for example Lenny has Mono-White Chulane, and Gumball-Urza. This is potentially a whole show topic on it’s own
        1. Ryan’s turn to set the over/under
      4. Secret list, top 8 style
    2. What is a KoS Commander?
      1. Which Commanders make your KoS list? Are there any on our lists that you disagree with? Any we forgot?

            3. It isn’t mechanically Commander Horizons
            4. Draft is 3 20 card boosters, Draft 2 cards from EACH pack. you end up with a 60 card deck.
            5. 2 legends and a foil in every pack
            6. Sengir, the Dark Baron
              1. I’ve been wanting this since partners released in 2016

              3. Zack Bold Prediction - Mono color weatherlight crew partners
            10. 41 monocolored Partners! Over 1500 partner combinations now :)
            11. 71 Total new Legends in the draft boosters
            12. 30 non-partner, 2 / 3 color legends (so this means no 4 or 5 color legends in the set, if my math checks out)
              1. Keeper of the Accord
              2. Ryan Bold Prediction - Teferi’s Protection will be reprinted!
              3. Zack Bold Prediction - Blind Obedience will be reprinted

                5. Zack Bold Prediction - There will be a Niv Mizzet, Parun Etched Foil
                  1. Man, this is giving me a conundrum, cause I want to draft the set, like BADLY, but also may be a while before I can get together with folks, and the extended art cards look awesome. Also are there extended art etched foils?
                6. Extended art cards ONLY appear in Collector Boosters
                7. Video of the treatment on Gavin’s Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PG3p0xlcQJU

              4. Etched Foils
                1. No double-faced cards
                  1. Ryan Bold prediction - This will be a changeling, because the two legendary options don’t seem like fun draft environment cards: https://scryfall.com/search?as=grid&order=name&q=%28type%3Alegendary+type%3Akithkin%29    (Could also be a non-legendary creature, but the way Gavin said it makes me think it was a Ruse)
                  2. Zack Bold prediction - it will be a five color sliver.
                2. At least one kithkin
                3. They used a spreadsheet to test the partners (so you know it’s serious!)
                4. Jeska will likely be a Planeswalker that can be a commander
                  1. Ryan Bold Prediction - This will be a new card, the current options aren’t great: https://scryfall.com/search?as=grid&order=name&q=type%3Acreature+commander%3AG+cmc%3D6+rarity%3Ac&unique=cards (Or Elvish Aberration is downshifted to common)
                  2. Zack Bold Prediction - It will be Vorstclaw.
                5. 6 mana common green creature that is NOT Colossal Dreadmaw
                  1. Ryan Bold Prediction - We will see a mono-Black Aetherborn uncommon legend
                  2. Zack Bold Prediction - people holding a piece of fence
                6. New Characters
                7. All mono-colored legends have partner. Any 2 color or more legends won’t have partner (Stand-alone as Jules said)
                8. Enemy Crowdlands (Battlebond) are in this set!
                9. Releases November 6th
              5. Questions
                1. Anything goes here, let’s each at least put 3 bold predictions
                2. Ryan Bold Prediction - We will finally see the W/B Angel that is a sister to Sigarda, Bruna, and Gisela
                3. Ryan Bold Prediction - A pre-spark U/R Dack Fayden legend
                4. Ryan Bold Prediction - We will get a legendary creature that is a hint about the Wanderer, and it somehow involves Fblthp

  6. Ep 61 Community Spotlight:
    1. The idea: We each take 2 decks from our stable, and the other co-host comes up with 3 “interesting” commanders to play a game with. We go through our thought process about coming up with an initial plan.
    2. Disclaimer: This is in a vacuum. Initial plans can give us a place to start talking about strategy, but even good plans need to be adjusted, and most initial plans can probably go out the window quite quickly, but it’s probably worth talking about having a plan in general, and how this can apply later in the game when you reassess..
      1. Zack details the high level version of how Deck 1 works, and how it tends to win AND lose games. (Mention there is a link to the deck in our stables)
        1. Any notable/important cards in your deck?
      3. Ryan reveals the 3 SECRET opponents!
      4. Initial thoughts
      5. Which person do you think you should take out first?
        1. What about your deck makes this a good idea? Silver Bullets?
      6. Which person do you think you’d have the best chance against in a heads-up scenario?
      7. Anyone you think might make a great early game ally?
        1. Any cards/typical effects these decks tend to run, that might be problematic for Zack’s deck?
      8. Ryan, why did you pick these 3 particular commanders?
    3. Zack Deck 1 - Niv-Mizzet

  6. Ep 60 Community Spotlight:
    1. Disclaimer: Commander is a SOCIAL game, winning isn’t everything, so watch with care how far you go down the competitive path.
      1. That being said, winning IS fun. And I’m sure there are lots of folks out there that would like to get better at Commander.
      2. It’s so much easier to make an episode about building better decks, it’s much harder to make an episode about how to help folks get better.
      1. Step 1: Admit that you are making mistakes.
        1. It’s going to be hard to fix mistakes if you aren’t making any.
        2. It’s also MUCH harder to identify some types of mistakes in Commander vs Limited or Standard/Modern. This is because the consequences of making a mistake in a 1v1 game happen quite quickly after you make them, and often lead to the game being over.
          1. Changing the way you think about variance may also help. Think about what information you had instead of complaining about why you didn’t win.
            1. My opponent had the exact spell they needed to win! (Did they tutor one or more times that game?)
            2. I just needed one more turn! (Did you fail to realize an opponent was just a card away from a combo?)
            3. I got mana screwed/flooded! (Are you playing enough lands in your deck? How about ramp? Should you have mulliganed?)
            4. Everyone ganged up on me! (Were you playing Atraxa? Did you get off to an early lead?)
        3. Your first instinct should be to avoid blaming a loss on variance. This is not to say that variance doesn’t happen, and often-times variance does lead to bad times for you, but it your first instinct is to blame variance (Blame Variance!), then you may take the easy way out, and not really take the time to think about how you played that game
        1. Think about the things you played, and how folks responded.
        2. Did you make a play that aligned the whole table against you? Could/should you have waited to play it till later?
        3. Did you misidentify the biggest threat at the table?
        4. Did you leave a problematic permanent on the table for too long, hoping someone else would take care of it?
        5. Did you fail to realize that two of your opponents were going to team up, and 1-2 punch away your pillow fort?
        6. Did you take out the wrong player, when you had your chance to kill any of your 3 opponents?
        7. Should you have mulliganed?
          1. Ask them if they noticed any misplays on your part.
          2. Ask them what cards they had in their hand at the end of the game. 
        8. It really helps if you can talk with your opponents after the game, especially if they are people you think play well!
      3. Think about your game, immediately after you play it. Reflect on how the game went.
        1. Sequencing!
          1. Can be something as basic as playing your lands in the wrong order. Or tapping your lands incorrectly.
          2. Sometimes this is obvious, sometimes it’s not. Like sometimes you might not notice that there was a better way to sequence things, but sometimes you might not even think about sequencing things
          3. Honestly, this is one of harder things in Commander, because board states get so cluttered, so quickly. And you may forget you need to take out that Blind Obedience before you cast your Hasty creature.
          1. I think this is sometimes tricky for newer players, especially when playing against new opponents, or decks in an unknown meta.
          2. This can also include playing a card that is going to scare the other players into attacking you, thinking that it’s less scary than what some other opponent already has going on. An example could be playing Aura Shards, and not knowing that one of your opponents has 3 very important enchantment/artifacts in hand. You may not know this is a likely scenario, unless you’ve played against that player’s deck more than 1 time before.
        3. Incorrectly assessing threats
          1. Forgetting that your opponent played a Sylvan Safekeeper on turn 2.
          2. Not doing the math on how much damage you were going to take from 2 of your opponents having a Zulaport Cutthroat in play before you cast a board wipe
        4. Failing to notice an onboard trick
          1. These are not the droids you are looking for (or not hitting your saving throw versus a savvy political opponent
            1. So many times people make a deal, and get nothing out of it. Like someone promising not to attack you for two turns, when it’s obvious they weren’t planning on attacking you anyway
          2. Making a bad deal
          3. Making too many deals, and painting yourself into a corner
          4. Picking the wrong person to go to the final 2 with.
        5. Political
      4. Types of mistakes
        1. This can be a tricky thing. We are all getting together to have some social fun, so sometimes it’s not the greatest to be very strict with the rules. I know oftentimes I encourage my opponents to take stuff back
        2. You want to make sure you have a conversation about this before the game starts. It might be great to play with some stricter rules enforcement if the folks you are playing with are up for it. (It also could EASILY be NOT fun to do so).
        3. Maybe hold yourself to a higher standard? Essentially owning your mistakes. You don’t have to always do this, but it’s hard to learn from a mistake if there are NO consequences from making it. (If you’ve ever played with me, you KNOW I don’t often hold myself to a higher standard!) I think this is something especially hard to do if you’ve only ever been a casual player. Playing a lot of limited, and grinding at PTQs etc, really helps here, because you are often playing at a higher REL, and take backs aren’t an option.
      5. Take-backs?
    3. How to learn from your mistakes
      1. Learning from your mistakes is CRITICAL to getting better at Commander. Two of your best tools for figuring out the mistakes you are making are “Thinking critically about games immediately after playing them” and “Talking with people who you respect, and getting their feedback”
      2. Audience land: Do you look for mistakes? Do you have any great lessons you’ve learned? We’d love to hear some of them!

  6. Ep 58 Community Spotlight:
    1. Deck genesis story
      1. I’ve always loved the Hondens from Champions of Kamigawa.(2004)
      2. I was inspired by a patron Michael Borchik (@MBorchik) to build a Kenrith deck, specifically with a less than perfect mana base. I decided to go ahead and make it a 5-color enchantress deck, with all 5 of the Hondens in it.
        1. This solved a couple of problems the Kenrith deck had.
          1. I had to run too many tutors to reliably find the shrines
          2. Kenrith didn’t really interact well with the shrines
          3. Talk about how cool Sisay is, and how she does all the things a shrine deck would want.
        3. I sent email to myself to look at Sisay in the morning. Also, I included Kethis, Enduring Renewal, Estrid’s Invocation, Mirage Mirror,  Sterling Grove, Privileged Position, Fountain Watch, Teshar (this was wrong, I was thinking of Shalai, and that’s also wrong) and Captain Sisay. Many of these didn’t make the final cut.
      3. I was just planning on updating my Kenrith Deck, and adding in the 6 new Shrines, but one night I was drifting off to sleep, and I had an idea. Sisay, Weatherlight Captain!
      1. The Shrines all scale as you get more shrines, kinda like the Slivers of enchantments. This will give you inevitability if the game goes long enough, and if there aren’t many “destroy all enchantments” effects.
        1. Do this live
      2. Let’s rank the original Hondens from worst to first in Commander
        1. Do this live
      3. Let’s do the same thing with the new Sanctums
    3. So, what makes this deck so cool?
      1. Protection
        1. Sterling Grove
        2. Privileged Position
        3. Greater Auramancy
        4. Fountain Watch 
        5. Creeping Renaissance
        1. NOTE: Technically, you do NOT need to run these, because Sanctum of Tranquil Light is a single mana, and fetchable with Sisay before she is pumped up. 
        2. Sword of the Chosen
        3. Shadowspear
        4. Sword of the Animist
        5. Blackblade Reforged
        6. Okina, Temple to the Grandfathers
      3. Sisay Enablers
        1. Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain (gonna be nuts in this deck)
        2. Niambi, Esteemed Speaker
        3. Various Enchantresses
      4. Card Draw
        1. Jhoira's Familiar
        2. Honor-Worn Shaku
      5. Ramp
        1. Captain Sisay
        2. Primeval’s Glorious Rebirth (Discuss if Eerie Ultimatum is just better?)
        3. Urza’s Ruinous Blast
      6. Legends Matter
        1. Raff Capashen, Ship’s Mage
        2. Thran Temporal Gateway
        3. Weatherlight
      7. Historic Matters
        1. Meishin, the Mind Cage
        2. Profane Procession
        3. Search for Azcanta
        4. Teferi's Ageless Insight
        5. Oath of Kaya
      8. Other cool Legendary Cards
        1. Vernal Equinox
        2. Paradox Haze (Doesn’t work with 5/6 of the new Sanctums, but really cool with 1 of the 6!)
      9. Other cards
    4. Other Categories of cards
  7. Main Topic -Sisay Shrines Deck Tech
    1. What a cool deck! Full of awesome interactions, and legendary cards. Also, it’s totally on point Flavor-wise (I mean there are THREE weatherlight Captains in this list…). To audience land, what cards would you put in here? Is this the kinda deck you would play?

  7. Ep 57 Community Spotlight:
    1. PJ give a brief synopsis of what kind of content you create, and why folks should check it out
    2. What do we like most about creating content?
    3. What do we like least about creating content?
      1. Each of us talk about why
        1. Ryan - It started as a way to kind of keep a record for my kids (hence the #MtGDad moments every episode). Also, Magic is something I’m very passionate about.
    4. Why do we each create content?
      1. How much time do we each spend on the content we create each week?
        1. PJ
        2. Zack - 2ish recording, 2ish editing (4-6 when it’s video), unknown on twitter, various amounts of time for graphic design, various amounts mailing things. 1-hour planning episode with Ryan, 1 hour if writing show notes
        3. Ryan - 2ish hours on the night we record, 1 hour planning the show (more if it involves building a deck). 1 hour proofing the show each week. 1 hour uploading the show. There are lots of other various time things as well.
    5. Creating content takes time
      1. The Magic community is pretty friggin awesome
      2. When you create content consistently with another person, you really develop a special bond
      3. You get to know a lot of really awesome people, both other content creators, and your listeners/viewers
      4. It’s really cool the first time you meet, or interact with someone who you’ve helped make their life better (even if it’s just in some small way)
      5. You get to learn...like a LOT. I’ve always been a lifelong learner, and there’s pretty much no end to the stuff you can learn. Audio, video, lighting, web design, how to use social media, technology, woodworking, you name it.
    6. What makes creating content worth it?
      1. Find a co-host(s) you have chemistry with, who you can trust, who are committed (unless of course you’re doing a 1-person show)
      2. Figure out the name. Seriously, take a LOT of time with this. We were almost “Commander Onramp”.(no we weren’t -z)
      3. Register the domain, look to see if there is anything else out there, past or present with the same/similar name
      4. Get accounts on all of the social media sites, Twitter, Instagram, Gmail account, patreon, Youtube, the sky is the limit here. Also, keep current with new social media things as they come about, and register those accounts.
      5. Figure out a schedule you can commit to and BE CONSISTENT
        1. we used LogoOrbit, and it can be pretty costly. There are cheaper alternatives out there, fiver, etc etc
        2. We placed our initial order for about $150 on April 29th, 2019. We Finished up with them on June 14th, and we must have gone back and forth like 50 times. We think it was worth the time and effort
        3. We were willing to spend the time and money on getting a good logo, because this wasn’t our first podcast and we knew we were going to be in it for the long haul.
        4. You can always rebrand later, but you definitely want a logo before you ever publish your first episode
      6. Get a logo
      7. Make your content available EVERYWHERE. We use libsyn to do this.
      8. PJ - Anything especially important with YouTube?
      9. It will take TIME before you get a regular set of listeners/viewers. Like even more time than you think (probably, I’m sure there are other stories out there about someone becoming an overnight success). Be patient,
      10. Be active on social media!
      11. It will take a while to get good. Creating content is like any other skill, Playing Guitar, Playing Magic, Sewing, whatever. I know I was SOOOO self-conscious in the beginning. I am, and probably always will be my harshest critic, but you can’t let that stop you if creating content is truly something you want to do.
      12. Not every episode will be great. Trust us! However, each episode is likely something you can learn from. If you do this, and constantly strive to get better, you WILL get better over time.
    7. Tips for people thinking about starting a podcast/youtube channel
  8. Main Topic -Content Creation
    1. Creating content is NOT easy, but it CAN be worth it. What are some questions folks out in Audience Land have about creating content? Did you like this episode that was a lot less about playing Magic?

  7. Ep 55 Community Spotlight:
    1. We tried to build a mutate infect deck a while back and the results weren’t great, so I went back to the drawing board after seeing Coyle from Guardian Project Podcast. This time we’re focusing mostly on mutate and swinging more than we are infect, but you know me, there’s still a tiny bit of infect for the funsies. 
    2. Deck List: https://archidekt.com/decks/617252#Mutate_for_Days
      1. Discuss
    3. Commander: Otrimi, the Ever-Playful or Brokkos 
      1. Mention how fun (and maybe how expensive it was) to play with the comic book style art.
      2. Only 446 Decks on EDHrec at time of recording
      3. Highlight some of the cool things this deck can do!

    1. Commander death and exile triggers rules change
      1. Why do we think this is?
        1. Maybe because Commander is a way to express yourself, and that’s something people need now more than ever
        2. I’ve had more time to talk with folks while we play, and I’ve gotten to know more people, more intimately
        3. There’s almost always this time after the game, where we all turn the cameras to our faces, and just chat. Find out what things folks are struggling with in their lives, and hear their successes 
    2. Commander is an inherently social game, and we’ve seen the community come together during these trying times.
      1. It’s cool that we are getting to play with so many people we would rarely get to play with. We’ve gotten to play with many patrons, and it feels like a silver lining
      2. Shout out to SpellTable for developing a platform designed specifically for playing Magic via webcam
      3. Getting to play decks that are not part of our normal Meta
    3. Webcam magic becoming the new norm
      1. Let’s talk about it
    4. Erin got a chance to play in CFB’s CommandFest Online
    5. Finance
  7. Main Topic - The Positive Power of Commander

 

  •  “Second, it seems that the bigger card stores (f.i. SCG) have a small amount of available stock of popular cards left. Due to the COVID-19 lockdown, people will have more logistical trouble selling their collections at LGS's but also at MagicFests and other venues. This could result in a lower supply of secondary market cards. The demand for popular cards could surpass the supply much faster than during normal circumstances. This causes the stock to dry up and prices to rise due to organic demand. Not because cards are in higher demand, but in lower supply. Do note that this is speculation on my part, based on what I see and hear on the socials.”

    1. Deck outside Ryan’s comfort zone
      1. Aggressive Decks
        1. Arena
      2. Why?
      3. Zack discusses with Ryan
      1. Why?
      2. Ryan discusses some with Zack
    3. Deck outside Zack’s comfort zone - Boros / Aggro
      1. Lenny (@LennyWooley)
        1. Mono red is outside my comfort zone. I can brew it but I don't like playing it because it's not great at defense and I can't make plans with its card advantage. 
        2. 5 color is also really tough unless I have a very specific idea in mind. Otherwise I get paralyzed by all the opportunity
        1. I struggle with playing blue. In particular the whole counterspell/draw go style. I feel bad countering someone's spell and even worse countering their commander, because I find it less enjoyable to play, I play it less which means I'm worse at it.
      3. Craig -(@Scraignoth)
        1. I'm an Aggro/Midrange player and have always struggled with control. I taught myself how to play control and that helped me to understand how better to fight against control. That being said blue is the color that eludes me the most but I'm always trying to expand my prowess in commander. my main problem is I'm a very proactive player and blue intrinsically plays a reactive game
      4. Andy Bently (@BentzMr)
        1. my main problem is I'm a very proactive player and blue intrinsically plays a reactive game
        2. After he left his comfort zone to play black - It took a second to get in a groove cause of what I’m typically drawn to, but once I got going, I really hit a groove. I kinda role played it. Since I’m a Dimir mage, I approached it as I was spying on everyone else to learn their secrets
        3. #MtgAmatureFinance also taught me what I don’t really like so I avoid spending on stuff that won’t hold my interest long term
      5. Chris von Doom (@chrisvondoom1)
        1. Discuss
      6. Four patrons have specifically spoken about blue control
    4. What did some of our patrons have to say?
  9. Main Topic - Decks Outside Our Comfort Zone
    1. Stretch one’s horizons to include new things
    2. Understand your opponents strategies better
    3. Poker example, players that only put their chips in when they have the best hand
    4. So, has anyone out there stepped outside their comfort zone? Let us know!
  10. Wrap it up - why should we play decks outside of our comfort zone
