Starter Deck for Athreos, God of Passage

E

Some decks have obvious play lines that are potent and to the point, others illicit an obsession, one might even say a cult-like one. Andy takes us into the depths of the Cult of Athreos as he outlines what got him interested in a more nuanced line of play with this Therosian god, which goes well beyond the conventional Shadowborn Apostle + demons lists.

Magic Zen & the Art of Playgroup Maintenance

E

In light of the recent developments with the ban list and the subsequent fallout, Andy and Kyle reflect on how their group seems to have been insulated from the big feelings rippling through the broader community. They outline how a deeper playgroup mission that centers on experience and respect almost gives the group an intuition to avoid the most contested parts of the format. Andy outlines with Kyle a variety of tenets that the group tries to respect and they share their stories and success and failure with those tenets, in this classic LCP episode that waxes philosophical along the way.

The Golden Mean of Card Usage

E

Andy takes on the golden mean discussion as it relates to selecting the cards that we use in commander. With an eternal format, the card options available to commander players are vast.

Leave Me Alone! | Understanding a Feared Commander

E

Despite talking through commander reputations, deck rankings, and lightning rods in the zone on previous episodes, Kyle still has a commander who notoriously gets him focused on.

Under 500 Returns | Hipster Energy Decks

E

The drill here is for our listeners to provide their lists for commanders who have under just 500 decks being referenced on EDHREC for data for that commander. In an era where Atraxa and the other top commander are rocking tens of thousands of lists, you truly are drinking that hipster moose juice when your commander isn't cracking 500 lists.

So how do we find a happy middle ground?

Launch Points in the Zone

E

We all have an understanding that commanders can serve different roles for a deck, whether as a strategy or providing benefit for implementing a strategy. But Andy proposes that we give some attention to the idea that some commanders can get us started, but can then be abandoned as the strategy gets going. Andy shares a variety of decks that exemplify this idea of a commander that can provide resources to get rolling, but that don't need to be present for success.

Descending into the Archetypal Particulars

We all have a concept of archetypes in our mind when it comes to Magic: the Gathering. But have you considered how those archetypes coexist with deck-building templates?

Should I Build This Brew?

For many of us commander players and big part of the enjoyment of the format is brewing lists and imagining how they would play at the table. But how do you decide when to take the digital concept and sleeve up the idea for real life play?

Therapy Session | Getting Decks Just Right

E

We all build decks that seem to land in different experiential zones. Our friends enjoy playing against some and others not so much. We have a great time with some of our decks, while others just aren't as fun as the theory. While other decks still can win an appropriate number of games, some don't win enough, and some too many. Join us as Andy takes Kyle into the exploration of getting our decks in the Goldilocks zone.
