Angels are among the most brewed tribes in Magic, and also a tribe with some of the most storied Magic cards from many formats. Lending a hand from on high, these are the Top 20 Angels in Magic: the Gathering. Top 20 Angels in Magic Angels are one expensive creature type! Their average mana value is a lot higher than …
We’re thrilled to welcome the newest member of the Card Kingdom affiliate network: I Hate Your Deck! I Hate Your Deck launched last January, and the show has had a truly incredible year. In 2021, the Commander gameplay series welcomed guests like The Professor, Kyle Hill, Cassius Marsh, and Post Malone to the table to sling some spells. If you …
The new year is upon us, and that means it’s time for new year’s resolutions! They’re almost always centered around self improvement, and can be difficult to maintain. While the more difficult ones are certainly possible (I’m now 6 years smoke free!), they can feel like an uphill battle – especially as the new year comes directly after the most …
Casual games of Commander can be a minefield when it comes to politics, especially when you’re playing against control or combo decks that operate from the hand. If you can’t see anything incriminating in play, how do you keep them in check? Sometimes, deciding when to go hard against a control deck is seemingly impossible in casual games of Commander. …
It’s our last episode of Commander Kingdom of the year, and we’re excited to gather around the (Spell)table one last time to throw down! Olivia-Gobert Hicks is back for the last appearance of her residency on the show, and she’s brought a truly meme-tastic deck. Facing off against her are returning guest Crim, a.k.a.

Utility lands tend to shine brightest in more casual games, where a higher land count is the norm, and they give you something to do when you’re flooding …
It’s the end of another year, and I’d like to take this moment to cover a few cards that I believe are underplayed Commander gems. Seeing as the latest Innistrad sets are a little too new to call out what’s underplayed, I’ll kick things off with Commander Legends. COMMANDER LEGENDS Apex Devastator In a format that’s more and more about …
2021 has been a ridiculous year for Commander, especially when it comes to legendary creatures. In the past twelve months alone, there have been a staggering 191 new legends introduced to the game! Some have become incredibly popular, and a few have already become some of the most popular commanders in the format. However, there are a plethora of commanders …
Commander is a special format; it plays like no other, and has very different heuristics compared to any other way to play. One such heuristic is that virtually every deck needs ramp; without it, you’ll easily fall behind as the table progresses. Most Commander decks can go over the top of everyone else, but they need a way to ensure …
Unlike lands, creatures, planeswalkers, artifacts and enchantments, there’s something of an aura of sanctity around graveyards in Commander. It’s easy to see why, if you really think about it: everyone loves a good graveyard deck, and everyone has one. In a format where people are encouraged to let everyone “do their thing,” it’s courteous to let a graveyard deck tool …
