Nerds and Nachos: One Chip

This week I want to talk about turbo. Can you go fast in casual or do you have to play cEDH to go as fast as possible. I go over some of the things that can set it back and the issues you may run into.

This week I take a long hard look at Voltron decks and try to figure out how to get them to keep up in the Commander Arms Race. As the format goes faster and faster this play style is being left in the dust. Can we get it up to speed?

After talking about the Marvel cards I am turning to you for help with building this Doctor Doom, Unrivaled list. Help me find the last few cards needed to make this thing the Doomsday deck of my creams.

This week I talk about the Marvel cards. Are they good, are they bad, are they mediocre? Some of them look great and some have weird wording. I go over decks the ones I am excited for and the decks I plan to build from the spoilers I have seen so far.

This week is all about PRIDE! In June for Pride Month Wizards errata all legendary creatures to have Partner. There are a lot of things you can do with this. I walk through some patron decks that had a fun time with their builds.

It's time for crime! Grixis crimes that is. In Magic the Gathering targeting something on your opponents side of the table or just your opponent is a crime. I built a deck that commits as many crimes as possible until it can win in a few different ways.

This week it's all about alternate win conditions in Magic The Gathering. The ones that no one complains about all the way to the bogey man of the format Thassa's Oracle. I give my thoughts on why I think they are so looked down on and why the others aren't as much.

This week I talk about the decks I had to say goodbye to and why. Was it play pattern? Was it that the deck didn't do what I wanted? Was it both? I tell you why and more.

This week I talk about the issue with having too many decks and where my line of too many lies. Spoilers but the number is higher than the number of color combos in Magic.

This week I talk about the reveals from Magic Con Vegas. The Soul Stone in particular. I go over it and The Soul Stone and how I feel The Mind Stone is not going to be played in very many decks and definitely not for its infinity ability.

This week I thought about tinkering and spite builds and Dark Souls. I realized editing your deck to fit your meta is just like updating your build in a Souls Borne to beat a boss.

This week it's all about Mono-Red and the issues that arise when you build it a s a spell slinger. The mana issue and most of all the fact that there is no card draw but with the release of Secrets of Strixhaven there may finally be an answer!

This week I go over a type of deck that I've been trying to get right for five years. The entire time I've been back in Magic the Gathering I have wanted to play an Aggro Reanimator/Aristocrat list that uses creatures for value and damage. I think I've finally gotten it to work with cards from the Ninja Turtles set of all places. Links: Thrill of Possibility: https://www.etsy.com/shop/...

This week I get nostalgic for set blocks and hope that we can make our way back to them for better storytelling and to live in the worlds for a while.

This week I talk about the rising price of the game and getting priced out of the game from packs and singles costing more each release and the issue with the majority of the set releases this year being a premium release set forcing the normal price of a pack to $7.50.

This week I talk about the over abundance of legendary creatures coming out in the new sets. Especially the ones that have the same name but only slightly different and how confusing it gets when bringing your deck to a table.

This week we talk about taxes...not that kind. Are taxing effects that strong in Commander? Should Rhystic Study be banned? Is the Rhystic player always the one that wins? All of these are answered and more as I go over how I think these decks run and how annoying they can be to deal with.

This week I actually touch on the Banned and Restricted announcement for Commander and the changes to the game changer list. Farewell was moved up and that means a lot of things for a lot of players.

Are the brackets hard to understand? In some matches there seems to be a fundamental misunderstanding of the bracket system and it favoring card choice over consistency and synergy.
