MTG In Quarantine

Having been released in 2021 as part of Commander Legends, Krark, the Thumbless has quickly become a very popular (c)EDH Commander because of his unique coin-flipping and copying abilities. On this episode, Ken from StackedEDH and ScoopPhase join the show to discuss Krark in-depth, including Ken's Krarkashima list on the CEDH Deck Database, why Krark is so good in so many other cEDH builds, and ho...

Stax is a very misunderstood strategy in the EDH landscape, and is often cited as one of the least-favorite archetypes to play against at the majority of tables. However, Stax is a very viable strategy at the cEDH table through its disruption of opponents and furthering of your own gameplan. Noted Stax player and member of Casually Competitive Adam joins the show to discuss his 3 main pillars of S...

We've reached the end of 2021, so it only makes sense to do my own Year in Review episode. There was a lot of things to be excited about in MTG from the year that was, and I attempt to highlight as many of them as possible.  You can find me on Twitter at @MTGInQuarantine. 

The end of 2021 is fast approaching, so it was only fitting to have another episode where I invited friends of the show and other content creators to share their favorite MTG story from 2021.

The amazing Mab the Queen joins the podcast to discuss how to recognize the current state of the meta, how to deal with and counteract the meta, and what to keep in mind when finding a niche deck to pilot. You can...

Having a wide variety of EDH decks to accommodate any level of play is a good thing! Jon from the Gemstone Mine podcast joins the show to discuss how intent defines what is traditionally called "power level" instead of the inclusion/exclusion of certain cards.

Powerful Commanders have a reputation for being powerful in many ways (and for good reason). But playing a powerful Commander does not necessarily mean playing it to the most optimized level. Lenny Wooley joins the show to discuss how to take generically-powerful Commanders and reduce the level of optimization by trying different strategies or by using self-restrictive themes.  You can find L...

There are a lot of scary Commanders in the EDH landscape with a bad reputation. Cole from the Uncommon Commanders podcast joins the show to discuss how the "loudness" of Commanders can influence other players in the pod and what decks or strategies they use to counteract.

In this ultra-exclusive episode, I take you behind the scenes on how I personally build most of my EDH decks! Using the example of my recent Anje Falkenrath Reanimator deck, I walk listeners through the various chaotic steps that are required for me to take a deck idea and turn it into a pile of exactly 100 sleeved cards. Lots of references to my jank decks in this one, so you won't want to miss i...

EDH/Commander is a primarily-social format, yet managing our expectations going into a pod is just as important as any of other facet of the game. Twitch streamer Bobbie Christine joins the show to discuss how managing game expectations before playing can actually be separate from Rule 0 conversations but is just as important.  You can find me on Twitter at @MTGInQuarantine. The entire back c...
