I've been wanting to do blue/black Dragons with this commander ever since Sivitri was spoiled. Finally threw a deck together. Commander: 1 Sivitri, Dragon Master 1 Ancient Brass Dragon 1 Ancient Silver Dragon 1 Arcane Denial 1 Ashnod's Altar 1 Belbe's Portal 1 Bloodstained Mire 1 Boneyard...

I've been wanting to concoct a ProsBloom deck in EDH for a long time. Unfortunately, the best commander for this is Zaxara, which is a bit too "exemplary" for my purposes. But Glarb seemed like a decent candidate. Well, I threw this list together way after I should have gone to bed. I don't...

I threw this deck together somewhat hastily and haphazardly. Shay Cormac was one of the only commanders from the "Assassin's Creed" set to pique my interest, and I was particularly drawn to the use of Heaven's Gate and Touch of Darkness as tools to throw bounty counters on all opposing...

Stuff going on in my life delayed the creation of my deck helmed by a commander from Modern Horizons 3, but we have arrived. I just can't stay away from Jeskai Ascendancy. Also, I was going to need a deck for the Fourth of July anyway, so this can serve both purposes. While setting up Jeskai...

This is a deck I built for Al0ysiusHWWW. Didn't bother giving it a title yet. Might edit that later. We'll see. At the moment I have no idea what Al0ysiusHWWW thinks of this deck. He asked me to build him a Xantcha deck, so I did. Um, I might have procrastinated on it a bit. He originally...

In the early 00's, I had a white/blue/black deck for the now-defunct Seattle 150-card Highlander format. One of this deck's silly tricks was to use Rootwater Matriarch with Kjeldoran Pride. This dubious combo worked better when combat damage went on the stack, but even back then it was not...

I'm just going to pretend that the Eggs deck I built back in March of last year (helmed by Ayesha Tanaka, Armorer) was totally planned as an Easter Holiday deck. This year, I was a bit more deliberate, but didn't actually construct a deck until the *day of* the holiday. Usually I aim to get some...

As soon as I saw the Preston Garvey card spoiled, I knew what I had to do. This deck isn't a labor of love. It's not really powerful and maybe it's not even fun. That's not what any of this is about. I must do my duty for the Commonwealth Minutemen and for auras that go on lands. Also, another...

Oops. I still haven't posted this deck here. Crap. Um, I might just possibly be playing Last Epoch too much. So, for this one, I've got to be honest with you guys. I promised myself that I'd build a deck with one of the new commanders coming out in Ravnica: Clue Edition. But then I got hooked...

I always try to build some sort of deck corresponding with major set releases. For Murders at Karlov Manor, I was immediately drawn to The Pride of Hull Clade. Since the commander is so unusual and since the ability offers so many options, I went for something that I believed would really stand...

Recently, the Commander Rules Committee completed a project in which their website was updated to provide brief explanations for all of the cards on the ban list. The results of the project look pretty nice, and I'm sure that the new blurbs would be informative for new players or those curious...

I'm excited to be back again for my fifth annual entry in this series. I don't really know whether it's true, but I feel like I'm getting better at putting these together. In fact, when I collapsed all of the thousands of individual spreadsheet cells into a column for tallying up card usage for...

https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/announcements/card-updates-coming-with-khans-of-tarkir-on-mtg-arena I honestly don't know whether to be annoyed or fascinated with this stuff. It feels like if I were to try and guess which things WotC would retroactively decide were offensive, I'd fail...

Somehow, I almost went through the entirety of 2023 without playing a Grixis deck. Well now, we can't have that. While not technically a "Legends Retold" commander, this new Sol'Kanar is a fun take on a classic legend, and perfect for a deck that trades stuff with others. If I don't die right...

As soon as I saw Xolatoyac, I had visions of untapping a bunch of stupid lands with different kinds of counters on them. This deck won't be very good, but I am compelled to try the concept anyway. Maybe I'll even pull off a win with Simic Ascendancy. Commander: 1 Xolatoyac, the Smiling Flood 1...
