Kristen presents her EDH Class of 2022: the decks she’s built this year, the ones she has stuck with and the ones that didn’t graduate. It’s the start of a new year now and, as I always do, I sat down to tinker with my decks and figure out if I was leaving any behind in 2022. Today, I’m gonna …
While Commander’s grassroots origins make it different from many other Magic formats, it still has a ban list like the rest of them. However, since Commander is not a competitive format with tournament data to back up banning certain cards, some players are unsure why certain offenders end up on the list. So, let’s look at Library of Alexandria, one …
Hanukkah started last Sunday, so I thought it would be fun to take a break from my usual “This Day in Magic History” column and instead do something in commemoration of the holiday. In this post, we’ll look at my Hanukkah-themed Commander deck! Before we do, though, let me give you a brief history lesson on what Hanukkah celebrates. That …
Dominaria Remastered features staple Commander cards for competitive and casual alike, and some truly breathtaking new artwork — all packaged in an enticing draft environment. Kristen has the Commander highlights to consider. You Wanna Be a Master of Magic? There are some effects considered to be among the most powerful in all of Magic, and free spells probably top the …
I hope you kept the gift receipt, because Kristen would like to return these cards for a refund. Commander got a bunch of great new cards in 2022, but there are some additions to the format we didn’t really need.

With the year rounding to a close, I want to talk about the cards I am thankful for that have had a …
Treasure fundamentally changed Magic. Kristen muses on its current place in Limited and Commander, considering if it’s too powerful. When Treasure first arrived on the scene, it seemed innocent enough. “Sailor of Memes” was the standout, well, meme from Ixalan block, and our experience at that point showed it was new and interesting, provided fixing in a limited environment that …
I don’t always have the energy to keep up with the flow of new spoilers from day to day, but I definitely made an exception for Jumpstart 2022. Not only do I look forward to the normal Jumpstart 2022 experience, but this sort of product represents a unique, creative opportunity for the team at Wizards of the Coast regarding Commander …
There’s no such thing as a free lunch, and likewise, no such thing as “free” in Commander. Kristen is here to help us with some cost-benefit analysis. Everyone loves free, right? Free bonus cards in your Secret Lair; free door-prizes at the LGS, a free drink with your meal deal. But none of those things are ever truly free. The …
With Thanksgiving later this week, I thought it would be fun to take a break from my usual “This Day in Magic History” column and instead write a Thanksgiving-related article. In this post, I’m going to give you a deck tech for my Thanksgiving-inspired Commander deck! The Host A Thanksgiving Commander deck definitely has to be about Food, so who …
