Get Commanded!

Tutors! Your friends who went to private school had the money for them, but the rest of us had to work out our homework alone! Wait, sorry, different podcast, we're talking about searching your library! Sure, tutors are great for power level, but is that the only thing that's important to good Commander games? Maybe the real tutors were the cards we drew along the way. It's time to Get Commanded!...

What if we combined Walt's two favourite formats together; Pauper + Commander = Pauper EDH?! Courtesy of one of our Space Commander patrons, James and Walt do a deep dive on this new(ish) format, giving you the rundown on the rules, governing bodies, top decks and metagame, so that you too can explore new ways to enjoy multiplayer Magic the Gathering. They also laugh a lot, that's nice! It's time...

The Ultimate Guide to Deck Building is BACK ! In this new episode, James and Walt condense their previous three-episode, seven-hour epic into a delicious bite-sized morsel for all of your deck building needs! How much card draw is too much? Do you even need to ramp at all?! What is ramp anyway?!? It's time to Get Commanded! This podcast is recorded on Wurundjeri Country. This land was stolen, and...

When James and Walt collide ! This week, the Space Commanders have pitted your two hosts against each other over political deals! Should you always read the fine print, and find a competitive edge when you strike a deal? Or is the spirit of the deal paramount, with no room for manipulation? YOU decide who wins, so vote now!! It's time to Get Commanded! This podcast is recorded on Wurundjeri Countr...

What if you never edited your decks ever again?! In this episode, Walt presents his findings from an experiment testing this idea. Are you an Architect or a Tinkerer? Find out this week, and see what you could learn by tinkering less. Tinker is fun to say, you should try it some time. It's time to Get Commanded! This podcast is recorded on Wurundjeri Country. This land was stolen, and sovereignty...

Upgrading precons! Everyone and their dog has told you how to upgrade the 'Buckle Up' precon, but has anyone ever taken the time to tell you how to plan your own upgrade? No! (probably). In this episode, Walt and James give you all the tools you need to cut cards, and add new ones, with a little sprinkle of spice! The only tool that wasn't covered was the hoe, for obvious reasons. It's time to Get...

You've got too many cards, and you need to know how to organise them! In this episode, we give you a bunch of methods for categorising your cards so that you can find them easily. Then, Walt gets on the soapbox and tells you to throw some of those cards away! The soapbox is slippery, but Walt has course feet and he's used to it, so there's no need to worry. This podcast is recorded on Wurundjeri C...

There are so many ways to remove problems in Commander games, so we thought we'd take some time to tell you about some of our favourite options, and let you know how we go about picking cards for our decks! Thankfully, nobody in this episode removed their brain or organs. It's time to Get Commanded! This podcast is recorded on Wurundjeri Country. This land was stolen, and sovereignty was never ced...

White! What is its central philosophy? What does it want? What does it need? Who are its allies and who are its enemies? Is white the 'good guy' of Magic? Most importantly, why does Walt love it so much?! It's time to Get Commanded! This podcast is recorded in Wurundjeri Country. This land was stolen, and sovereignty was never ceded. This always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.  ----...

We know you love your good cards, and we love them too, but maybe playing some bad cards will make you a better player?! This week we explore some of the things you can learn by playing less efficient versions of cards, like how to sequence plays correctly, how many lands to play, and who the bestest boi in the multiverse is (it's obviously Mowu)! It's time to Get Commanded! This podcast is record...

Victory!! We're all working towards it, but sometimes, that shiny Avacyn, Angel of Hope is absolutely mesmerising! This week, we sat down to work out how to navigate towards your victory by ignoring unnecessary distractions, like your opponents, their creatures, their enchantments, and your grumbly tummy that says "I'm hungry please go home"! It's time to Get Commanded! ---------------------------...

Lands! We all love them, but some of us want to live in them, you know?! This episode, we cover everything you'll ever need to know to build yourself a lands/landfall deck, from ramp and card draw, to removal and even some combos for very special little children. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, there was no time to land a kickflip. It's time to Get Commanded! ------------------------------...

Burnout! Ever feel like there are just too many cards, sets, decks, and new commanders to keep up with? We had a chat to an old friend who left MTG behind last year to work out where it all went wrong, so that we can avoid this terrible fate, and tell you how! Unfortunately, there was no time to burn an MTG card in a furnace and see what it smells like. It's time to Get Commanded! ----------------...

Philosophy versus Colour; the new James Cameron movie that nobody likes. In this episode we ask the big questions like; why do we have five colours in Magic the Gathering? If each colour was a person, what would they want and need? Most importantly; was Homer Simpson right?!

More bans! This time, all of the cards that end the game or accelerate it out of control, and once again, Walt gets on the soapbox and argues for some additional bans and unbans.

Get Banned! In this episode, we're taking a look at the Legendary Creatures on the banlist, and throwing some more in the mix that we might ban, if we had the chance.

Losing! We've all done it, and we usually don't like it, but maybe that doesn't have to be the case?

Uh oh, not stax!! This unpopular strategy may be a little misunderstood, and we set out to tell you how and why you should maybe play a little bit of it... but only a little bit. There are definite ideas about the nature of stax in Commander. There are indefinite ideas about the nature of time... it's wibbly wobbly for sure.

We give you EVEN MORE info on how to build your very own Commander/EDH deck from scratch! This one is focused on lands, tutors and playtesting.
