Find out how to turn up the heat with our $50 Budget Upgrade Guide. Duskmourn Commander has four Commander decks: Death Toll, Endless Punishment, Jump Scare and Miracle Worker. Today we’ll check …
13. UNLUCKY FOR SOME It’s great when we get numberplay in spooky Magic sets, and Duskmourn doesn’t fail to disappoint. We’ve got the “unlucky” land cycle debuting here. They enter tapped unless a player has 13 or less life, which is going to happen pretty quickly, actually. The artwork on each evokes classic horror tropes and locations, which results in …
MDFC Lands are one of the best ways in Commander to make your deck slots go further. You can play them in place of lands as long as you’re disciplined, and they can give you less chances to flood. Kristen is here with 10 of the Best MDFC Lands for Commander. Modal-Double-Faced-Card (or MDFC) Lands are great. I personally play …
Red is the New Blue in Commander, or; Red Redirects are better than Blue Counterspells. You can see why I went with the former, right?

Join us as we count down the Top 20 Iconic Elves in Magic. We love a good Top 20 here at Card Kingdom, …
Protection spells come in many varieties, with nuanced differences between them. How do you choose which one is best for your deck? Kristen has some tips to share. Ah, protection spells. The favored tool of those who run creature heavy combat decks to protect from boardwipes, and a great option in the toolbox of combo decks too. They can protect …
The Gift mechanic debuted in Bloomburrow. Whether it was gifting a tapped fish or gifting a card, the options for interesting decision points on ostensibly modal cards is a nice way of repackaging Kicker. But is it balanced? And for what formats? THE GIFTS OF BLOOMBURROW Today I want to determine the most “costly” of the gift effects, and then …
It’s easy to get salty when playing Commander if you let yourself. While there are plenty of cards that everyone can agree are hyper salt-inducing, Kristen argues that some cards that make opponents salty aren’t actually that bad – and may even be good for the format. In Commander in 2024, the format has never been faster. Still, playing hatebears …
