Legendary Creature - Podcast

Dank is defined as disagreeably damp, musty, and typically cold. And enchantress Atraxa is indeed disagreeably damp, musty, and cold. Kyle spends the episode weaving between the enchantress theme and applying the theme's principles to his Enchantraxa deck for the Atraxa Bowl at GP Vegas. She truly is a Dankchantress. Check out Kyle's Atraxa Bowl list here (not to be confused with his I Hate Atraxa...

This is one is kinda short, because, well... Naru Meha is the worst. But really, she is a dangerous commander. Andy walks through the combo potential this wizard from Dominaria brings to the commander table. She's not exactly flexible, but what she does do, well, it's just better if everyone get out of the way and let her do it. Check out our deck lists on Tapped Out: https://tappedout.net/users/L...

PhenaxDeceivedMeToo.com. This could be a matter of, well, we'd say life and death, but they're really not doing anything to life totals, because they keep trying to mill everyone... But it is a matter. In this episode, K...

Most Izzet players have been clamoring for a commander to pilot and artifact build. Well you got one. But is it what you wanted? One of our dedicated listeners (twitter.com/thebiga641) sent us a cool non-stax, hate artifacts build: http://tappedo...

Damn there are a lot of cards for EDH players that come to us from Dominaria! Andy and Kyle talked a whole bunch of Dominaria after the leak, because there was just a ton of stuff leaked.

Some games aren't for the feint of heart. Sometimes you've just gotta challenge your best Little Finger and find out if chaos really is a ladder.

This week, Andy takes us into the bowels of his jank-ass pursuit of artifact doom-machines. Do you ever just want to build weird shit that nobody seems to understand when...

Sooooo... normally we're not super into leaked material. We'd rather wait until a set is officially spoiled to talk about what might fit into commander. But with a huge chunk of Dominaria's shit not being secure--and with it being a "legendary matters" set--it seems like we just gotta talk about it. So here's our partial set review of Dominaria. We're diving into a bunch of the new legendary creat...

But what about Magic: the Gathering resolutions? Andy's got a few lesser used cards to try out in commander this year. And like any good resolution, some of these may be hard to stick by. But there could a...

Shout out to Simone for sending his deck for Andy and Kyle to check out. Andy and Kyle take a look at Simone's Queen Marchesa deck.

Kyle and Andy explore the process of tweaking a deck that has a variety of possibilities like Q...
