Wanna draw cards? What about if you pulled the cards out of a (figurative) bubbling cauldron?! This week, the Space Commanders have kidnapped Walt alone to tell you everything you need to know about his Baba Lysaga, Night Witch deck! Do you just draw cards to win? What happens when you sacrifice Kaya's Ghostform in the cauldron?? Lastly, what the hell is Chime of Night?! It's time to Get Commanded...

Power brackets! Wizards want to try them, so why shouldn't we? This week, the Space Commanders want James and Walt to look into the Ceilings & Floors of cards and decks, and work out whether they might influence potential Power Brackets.

Do Johnnies know everything?! This week, the Space Commanders want James and Walt to look into the most cerebral player archetype, the Johnnies and Jennies of the world!

This podcast is recorded on Wurundjeri Country. This land...

How do you calculate fun?! While this may seem the height of over-intellectualising, and it is, sometimes you just want definitive proof that you've built your deck very right, or very wrong. This week, the Space Commanders want to examine Walt's latest formula for what makes a winning deck, and work out if it produces accurate results when examining his sixteen decks, or James' twelve. Is consist...

What on Earth happened these past two weeks?! Four cards banned, the Rules Committee disbanded and Wizards of the Coast in charge of the format means that this week, the Space Commanders want James and Walt to work out how to feel about all of this! Should this many cards have been banned in one go? Can Wizards be trusted with Commander? And why does everyone hate that stinky Simic bird?? It's tim...

What's happening with your games?! Tracking your Commander games, in a gamelog or something similar, can be done many different ways, so this week, the Space Commanders have Walt and James comparing the methods and results.

The Meteor is back! As it is every month. What did Walt and James find in the rooms on Duskmourn that will go in their Commander Decks? Is cEDH its own format now?

We gotta Ramp Up! We all know we need to play ramp in our decks, but not always how or how much! This week, the Space Commanders have Walt and James analysing the ramp in their own decks to give you everything you need to know about this vital part of every Commander deck. Is 10 enough ramp cards? Should all of your ramp cost 2 mana? And what on earth is a burst ...? It's time to Get Commanded! Th...

Locations! You can play Commander anywhere you can balance a playmat, a deck and some dice, or even a laptop, but every location comes with its own strengths and weaknesses, so this week, the Space Commanders want to know. Can great games be had inside a store? Or do you find that such a bore? You could play your games online, or best of all, split your time... It's time to Get Commanded! This pod...

Is it just me or is it getting kinda distorted up in here?! Everyone on the planet has warped little brain thoughts every now and then, but some of us have them in Commander, so this week, the Space Commanders need James and Walt to take you through the most common cognitive distortions so you'll know how to recognise them! Then, we'll show you what a mental Pact of Negation looks like... It's tim...

Who is your Commander and what do they do?! There are so many legal commanders in our format now, and they all have different roles to play in your deck, so this week, the Space Commanders have tasked James and Walt with defining all of them! From there, they just need to tell you exactly how to fit every one into your deck, what numbers to adjust, how to pilot the deck with this in mind, and be b...

Timmys just wanna have fun!! Well, also they wanna win. This week, the Space Commanders need James and Walt to tell you everything they know about everyone's favourite power gamer; Timmy/Tammy!

The Monthly Meteor is almost within range!

100 episodes! That's an episode for every card in a Commander deck, and speaking of, we've played so much gosh darn Commander! There have been crazy stacks, brilliant responses, cunning deals and awful luck, and it might just be time for a story... about how a game can linger long after it's over...

Gandalf is back from the dead and this time he's mostly colourless! This week, the Space Commanders have abducted Walt on his own and they won't release him until he tells you everything about his Gandalf the White deck; how it wins, how it's consistent and how it stops its opponents.

This week, the Space Commanders have saddled James and Walt with the herculean task of telling you everything you need to know about the cards that add rocket fuel to your engine and the cards that turn that rocket fuel into the sweet smell of v...

We all have superpowers! Some of us are brewers or power gamers , others are tournament grinders and analysts, but all of us have extraordinary skills in some fashion.

Join our Discord server! https://discord.gg/NdcCYYVuHz   Your decks need to die! This week, the Space Commanders want James and Walt to talk about the decks we've disassembled in the last year or so, and why we just weren't enjoying them any more. Was the deck a glass cannon? Repetitive? Didn't gel with our playstyle? Most importantly, could the deck live on... in a new form?? It's time to Ge...

We're feeling salty! This week, the Space Commanders have instructed James and Walt to work out what it is about cards that makes some of us get so salty and mad! Is it cards that win the game on their own? Cards that stop us from winning? Cards that turn the game into something that it wasn't before? All of the above? Or maybe the salt was inside us all along... actually no, it's definitely your...

Playtesting! Goldfishing! Jumpstarting! Well, not that last one.

It's time for a big hug!!! It's not your aunty, it's Group Hug cards in Commander!

Should you play combos?! This week, the Space Commanders have abducted James and Walt and thrown them in the arena to duke it out and finally settle this eternal debate.

This land was stolen, and sovereignty...

Consistency! We all want it from our decks and our soups, but it isn't always easy to come by.
