Don’t Make These Decks, We Wish We Didn’t
Wednesday Jan 12, 2022
Wednesday Jan 12, 2022
Sometimes you build a deck and it makes you realize something about how you want to play Magic. Sometimes it makes you realize that deck is not that thing. Whether it's overly oppressive or has too much stack-manipulation, Bruce and Andy talk about some specific decks they wish they had left alone.
What are some of the decks you wish you never made? Comment or tweet at us!

There is a long standing tradition from WotC to mail people of the Magic community special cards for the Holidays, and they're fun and silver-bordered. Since those are the two things that catch our eyes, we wanted to talk about them!
Grab your eggnog, fuzzy socks and best friend and enjoy this Holiday Special-length episode!

How Important is Deck Originality? Do You Share a Commander?
Wednesday Dec 08, 2021
Wednesday Dec 08, 2021
Bruce and Andy have been noticing for years that their playgroup tends to shy away from overlapping commanders. Is this the norm? Why does this happen? Is it good? It it bad? Is it just a normal consequence from having a consistent playgroup? We are not the arbiters of this topic, but it's just an interesting thing we noticed. Let us know your experience!

Andy brings in his partner's deck to show off, the wonderful array of undervalued cards. Admiral Beckett Brass can be a powerhouse or a stanchion in the way. Grab a flagon of ale, roll up your pant legs and set to sea on this ship we call "the Temple"
