Wizards of the Coast keeps making fresh turkey sandwiches for us to do with as we please. Time for us commander players to do things with this Core 2020 sandwich Mark Rosewater never saw coming. Join us this week as Kyle and Andy dive into the Core 2020 legendary creatures to see what can be done with them as commanders. We'll also probably s#!t on some planeswalkers along the way and see what oth...

Get ready, Andy's gonna take us into the caves. We're gonna be kissing goblins. We're gonna ingratiate goblins. We're gonna succubus with goblins. Because God knows there's a conspiracy afoot and the goblins are definitely involved. Andy talks Kyle through the wide world of goblins in EDH. What are the cards that make this tribe tick?

You have to admire their purity. Survivors... unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality.

With the arrival of The First Sliver, it's time for us to join Andy and his awe for a breakdown of the perfect organism. Andy takes us on a histo...

Alright everyone, prepare your godless shrines, we're talking about a modern release. Or is it a modern release? Either way, there's a lot of cool new stuff in Modern Horizons for commander players.

Join us as Andy and Kyle take a look at all the new le...

Kyle considers what it would be like to let Ilharg loose to create an over-grazing probl...

What is a good stuff? Really though. "Good stuff" is one of those phrases we magic players throw around all the time, but what does it mean? Andy and Kyle compare definitions of "good stuff" and then Andy dives into the application of good stuff with Niv-Mizzet Reborn—thank god that dragon uploaded his consciousness as a backup plan. Check out Andy's Niv-Mizzet Reborn list right here: http://tappe...

Dead girlfriends. Master machinists. Obsessive-compulsive disorder—or the OC disorder. Torture. Betrayal. A quest for magical answers. And how it all relates to a Magic card. This is either Maury Povich or things are getting weird on the Legendary Creature Podcast. Join Kyle and guest host AP, as AP takes us on a journey through the story of Feldon, of the Third Path. We'll explore what Feldon's s...

We've all got those decks that needle at our minds. We build them and play them and love the idea of them. But some of those decks don't perform, despite channeling our inner Niv-Mizzet and concocting the best build we can conceive for our beloved pet commanders. What happens when that pet deck isn't going the distance? Join us as Andy explores some of his pet decks over the past year and how one,...

Is it 'fuh-jee-tas' or 'fudge-eye-tas'? It's gotta be the former. The latter is way too close to… well… you know. How else could you possibly say 'fajitas' without sounding like a pervert? We've heard you—or maybe we haven't—and we get it: we mispronounce all your favorite legendary creatures. So Andy and Kyle sit down with the Legendary Creature Linguistics Team to figure out how to say a bunch o...

What better guild to slow everything down than Azorius? Let's make everyone lobby and do paperwork before they can play EDH. It's a beautiful puzzle to behold.

What is it about Simic? It's just so easy for blue and green to combine forces and realize their plans. It's almost as if they're fueled by extra body parts, virile with the force of a Gentleman Bronco. Well, we're diving back into the guilds as Ravnica Allegiance rolls out. This week we're exploring the identity of Simic. And unlike the Simic with their extra appendages, Andy tries to build aroun...
