The PDH Pod

The week, The PDH Pod and Hexdrinkers put on a little switcharoo! Brad and Dave are joined by Jules, from the House of Commons podcast, to talk about some super sweet new cards from Magic: The Gathering's new set, The Brothers' War. Do this time-travelling, artifact-matters set have enough punch to shake up the Pauper Commander format?  Socials: @paupercommand - Liam @pauper_b - Brad @hex_jul...

Alkadron couldn't join us this week as we talk about making the transition from 60-card Pauper to Pauper Commander. Brad and Liam touch on some of the pillars of our sixty-card cousin to see which ones can and cannot be ported into PDH.   Socials: thepdhpod@gmail.com ThePHDPod on YouTube http://patreon.com/thepdhpod pdhhomebase.com Twitter: @paupercommand & @pauper_b

This week, we turn a listener question into a whole episode because the answer deserved more than five minutes. Brad, Liam, and Dave talk about format staples in Pauper Commander... if there are such things; how you can identify them; and what can be done to change the mentality that they exist at all!

This time around, Brad, The Alk, and Liam pull of a set review of... commander precons?!? No, really.

Today, we start part I of our Commander Legends: Baldur's Gate PDH set review by going over the uncommon commanders as well as all the backgrounds that can be in the Command Zone.  We had some technical issues with the recording (and editing on my part), so we ended up completely missing our review of Rasaad yn Bashir. Apologies. TL;DR - we all love it.  thepdhpod@gmail.com Twitter: @pau...
