Everyone’s experiences with Commander are as unique as the decks they play. No matter whether you play cEDH or your favorite deck is Crab Tribal, two of your games will never play out exactly the same way. There’s an enjoyable feeling of transience to every game for me, knowing that each game you experience is unique. I also try to …

I felt the same until very recently, …
Ever since the treasure mechanic was introduced, I’ve had the desire to build a deck around it. With the influx of great artifact reprints in Double Masters, now’s a great time to build an artifact deck. Today, I want to take you through my Four-Color Treasure Hunt deck, helmed by Akiri, Line-Slinger and Silas Renn, Seeker Adept. It’s a blast …
