The Beginning of the game can feel so fast and powerful, as you have access to a full mitt of cards, and throw down your ramp one after another, but did you know there are downsides to playing like that? Bruce and Andy think it's smarter to take it slower and lie in wait as the attention is elsewhere.

Andy brings another of his hobbled-together decks, but this time in a color he normally doesn't play. Raff Capashen plays heavily on opponents' turns, so you know there's going to be some silly nonsense going on. Andy goes deep into how and why he wants this build to work so badly. (And you know there's a big metal creature causing all of this mess) Check out the decklist: https://archidekt.com/decks/1531352

As we already have some Planeswalkers as Commanders, it doesn't seem like it would be a big leap to just make them all legal, right? Wrong. There's a lot to the subject, and Andy and Bruce have a moderate amount to say about it. Get on in, I've heard they finally don't agree on something!

With the advent of platforms such as Spelltable, Webcam Commander has become easier and more accessible, but there are some flaws that can't quite be ignored. Bruce and Andy break down why even when the format was being saved, they couldn't wait to just play EDH in person. Will they play with a top-down view going forward or return to grubby pizza fingers and enjoyable crosstalk? Find out in this episode of Temple of the False Pod.

This week, as we wrap up season 2, we put on our creativity hats and build some decks around an eccentric theme!
It's May, it's getting warm out, we thought it'd be fun to break out the grills and cook up some Barbecue themed decks. From the sand between your toes to flipping burgers, we have thought of everything to get anyone looking to chill under the sun ready. While Andy took a scenic approach, Bruce took a planned perspective. Put your feet up, crack open a cold one (whatever that is for you), and apply your sunscreen, BABEYY. Summer's almost here, and these are some decks you won't want to miss.

We take some time to address the tutor problem. What the tutor problem is, is when do you play them, if at all? Are they too good? Should I just run another land instead? See, tutors allow you to use your entire wealth of resources (your deck) to find a specific answer, and that's pretty cool. Bruce and Andy? We're not that cool. But it's more complicated than that.
