That was only a number of times!

Most of the unusual rules surround deck construction, which isn't an issue with pre-built decks. As for gameplay itself... The game starts with each player announcing his/her commander and placing that card in the "command zone" (which is also now officially the same zone that emblems occupy...

Spiderman and Mooseman have been dueling here with the 2013 Commander decks. I remember how, after the original 2011 Commander decks came out, we tried to start up a game with all five of them, but it went on hiatus and never came back or something. I haven't seen the new 2014 decks in action...

Hey, these decks are from Commander 2013, not Commander 2014.

Definitely. In my as-yet-unpublished article, I elected to focus initially on mono-red. I forget exactly what my reasoning was in the article, but my take on it is that mono-red feels the purest, if that makes any sense, and also that blue/red has too many ridiculously powerful combos. But I do...

What did I do? Wait, don't answer that...

Submitted a new article. I actually wrote this before I even submitted the previous article, but embarrassingly enough, this time I was the one to forget about it.

So I'm the only one who actually got killed? Oh, I see how it is... :p

Satyr Firedancer is a good card, but it strikes me as more of a Sligh card than a Burn card.

Yeah, it would work well, but not in Commander, on account of the "color identity" rules. There are a lot of different directions to go, but Ghave seems such a natural fit for a combo-oriented approach. It wouldn't necessarily have to be infinite, of course. Well, I think that Garruk...

Juniper Order Ranger: If you use Ashnod's Altar, this would be an excellent inclusion. Both cards are good with token-generators on their own, and together with Ghave, they go infinite. Sigil Captain also has that potential, although I'd prefer the Ranger. Blood Artist/Falkenreath Noble: You'd...

The "22" in "turgy22" stands for 1922, his true year of birth.

I actually think that the haters are half right though. This isn't limited to Storm, but Storm is one pretty good example... People have been attempting Storm decks in Legacy since the beginning of the format, and it's usually been a second tier strategy, but sometimes it's pretty good. Now...

I touched on it a little bit in one of my articles. I forget exactly what I said there, but to elaborate here... WotC introduced Storm in Scourge. Mind's Desire was broken and preemptively restricted in Vintage when WotC realized what it would do there. Tendrils of Agony was put into combo...

I believe that was Spike Cannibal, but I might be wrong. Not a chance.

Yes, I'm trying to win. I don't know what the competitive metagame is like either. I'm too lazy to find out. I want someone else to build the deck for me so that I can play it and win. But I guess that's not very likely...

Just remember: if you play a five-color commander deck, you're playing the Hermit Druid deck and everyone should try to kill you as quickly as possible.

I just want to chime in on Rokapoke's behalf and say that I interpreted Turgy's post in the same way.

I have the Counterpunch deck, although it's now incomplete because I took out Karador and Vish Kal (and Command Tower) for my dredge-based Commander deck. It's a cool deck, although sadly it's probably too hard to find and too expensive to be worth buying anymore. Vish Kal is really impressive...

Hey everyone, he remembered! That means a new article. I wasn't really planning to close out Volume I with a Duel Decks review, but I'm happy with it.
