Andy carries on the quest to settle his mono-black deck itch. If you heard our last episode, Andy is looking to hone the perfect mono-black experience. As the exploration continues, he provides a compelling starter deck for anyone looking to get in on the unique experience of piloting Gonti, Lord of Luxury. He also gives his current build to show what can be done with this mopey mono-black legend. As always, if you are a Patreon supporter, you can find deck lists on the Discord server.

Have you tried out EDHREC's "View Similar Commander" tool? Go check it out. Kyle takes Andy into a conversation about ways that it is useful to find and explore commanders comparable to the ones you are brewing. They then gives the EDHREC tool a spin to see how good it is at offering useful comparisons. As a side quest, Andy looks to see if the quest for viewing comparable commanders can find him a new mono-black commander that fits the experience he's looking for.

So you've gotten your hands on the new Lord of the Rings cards. You know the stories, but have you thought about them in depth lately? Samuel Griffin (aka Suns) joins us to talk about the wide world that Tolkien created. Samuel, Kyle, and Andy explore the setting for Lord of the Rings, dive into some favorite characters and events of the trilogy, and look at the Magic cards designed to represent these familiar people and places.

We've spent some time trying out different budget variants of commander. Recently, we have taken a stab at Pauper EDH. It has turned out to be wildly popular with our group and a new way to explore the format of EDH Andy leads a conversation about what has made Pauper EDH compelling and Andy and Kyle both share a handful of decks that have been getting time at the game table.

Kyle is coming at you with his oldest existing deck: Erebos, God of the Dead. Andy joins to learn about some options Kyle has brewed for building a starter version of the his Erebos, God of the Dead deck. They get into concepts of discard, how it differs in commander, how you can do it on a budget and explore the ins and outs of what Kyle has honed over the years with his prized mono-black deck.

Some commanders are just too much. Set aside the popularity contest, we're taking on Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow, and talking about what makes this commander so notoriously hated whilst popular. Andy gets into an alternative deck option for a ninja experience through Alora, Merry Thief paired with the background of Agent of the Shadow Thieves. Kyle then shares a top deck experience that doesn't have to be so irritating from the beginning of a game in using Jadzi, Oracle of Arcavios.

You know the drill by now. We all have a deluge of new commanders to work with, but before you go off and look into the latest legends, take a gander at a few of these ideas from some not-too-distant sets we're already forgetting. Andy presents a variety of decks shared by Patreon supporters from the 40K Commander, Brothers' War, Jumpstart 2022 and All Will Be One sets and commander decks.

More starter decks! This is a big one. Andy gets into the nitty-gritty of what he's up to with his oft-talked-about favorite: Niv-Mizzet, Parun. Join us, as Andy outlines how he departed from the usual Niv-Mizzet combos and landed on some other compelling and effective plays for Niv-Mizzet. He shares both his ode to the dragon and a starter deck version that can be a softer launch into the beloved spell slinger.

Time to dig into the new legal commanders that have emerged in the latest set: March of the Machine. From the Phyrexian praetors and their sagas, to the past legends pairing up on single cards, to the legends getting compleated, we've got them all covered.

It looks like we've got a legit series on our hands. The obsession with starter decks continues as the conversation turns to the blink/flicker theme. Kyle takes a somewhat different route, rather than offering a starter version of a beloved deck, he chats with Andy talks about a theme he has obsessed with for years. They investigate how it has changed in the face of added design and the availability of new blink commanders. He offers up Yorion, Sky Nomad as a launching point for anyone looking to get started with the theme. As always, you can find our deck lists on our Patreon supporter Discord server.

We decided to continue trying our hand at starter decks. In this episode, Andy launches us into a new series where we look to create starter versions of decks we are experienced with. That way you don't have to invest in hundreds of dollars worth of cards to try out what we play. Just kick the tires with a starter version and see if you like it. Andy gets us rolling with explaining his journey with Glissa, the Traitor as a commander and outlines his budget-friendly starter version of the deck that you all can take for a spin.

It's been a couple of years since we addressed our magical mispronunciations. In that time, you all have cringed numerous times at how we've chosen to pronounce many a made-up Magic character's name. We've brought in the linguists and compiled a list of new legends from the last year that are potential mispronunciation pitfalls. Let's see if we change our minds about how to say the names of any of these characters.

It may not get talked about a lot, but there exists a compelling deck theme where you simply have too many of your commander. Copies everywhere!!! Andy and Kyle set up the conversation of what is behind the idea of cloning your own commander, how to see if there is value to be had via this strategy, and how to outline a deck. They share a variety of clone deck ideas that they've been brewing. As always, you can find our deck lists on our Patreon supporter Discord server.

As always, we're bringing you reviews written by our listeners and sprinkling in a drop of our own unqualified opinions for what can be done with the new legal commanders from Phyrexia: All Will Be One.

Graveyards are a dynamic and useful element of the game of Magic. As many experienced players know, zone changes for cards can be very powerful to abuse and the graveyard primed for that abuse. Andy launches a discussion about the nuances of using the graveyard and how the uses a commander and strategy invite go beyond a general theme and get into particulars that can be important and critical to improving success in the strategy.

Since WotC put out some new starter decks for commander players, we've been thinking about this concept a lot. What is a starter deck's purpose? How can they be used? Who are they for? As we got into this idea, we decided to take a crack at brewing a handful of our own starter deck lists for commander players. Join us as we talk about how we think they can be used.

We all look at people's deck lists on the web. Whether it's the list of a friend or the list of stranger, it's always helpful to figure out if the deck is truly functional. Andy and Kyle outline what they are looking for when they look at decks on the web. From surveying the basics for function to diving into the deck's game plan. They also dive into a handful of random decks to see if they can put their principles to work.

We have had a lot of discussions over the last few years about tutors and how they impact the vibes of a game and how to build decks and how we treat the colors of the game. Andy and Kyle get into what it has been like the back half of the year to not have anything beyond land tutors in our playgroup.

The year is coming to a close, so it's time to do a survey of a handful of cards you might consider for the other 99 in your decks. Kyle and Andy run through cards suggested and vetted by listeners and throw in a few others for good measure.

Ever wonder if a commander has the potential for a build that isn't represented in the EDHREC data? Andy and Kyle talk through a couple of questions worth asking to see if we can broaden a commander's design into alternative deck designs. What are the hoops that commanders ask you to jump through, and how can we jump through that hoop in a different way? Or are there multiple hoops and we only need to jump through one to get an effective output? Kyle then jumps into a couple of example brews with Tocasia, Dig Site Mentor, and General Marhault Elsdragon to see if there are alternative ways to think about these commanders.

There's another slew of legends to take on and digest.

A new set has been fully spoiled in The Brothers' War, but we still have a few more listener ideas to sling your way before you go take on all the new possibilities. Kyle is taking the help for this episode and pilots us through part 2 with listener decks from Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty, Streets of New Capenna, Dominaria United and bonus decks from Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate.

We're all on the hype train for new cards and new concepts and new decks with the new hotness. But… before you go get into all that's new, let's take a stroll down memory lane to see if there are any sweet ideas we may have passed along the way. Andy takes us through part 1 with listener decks from Adventures in the Forgotten Realms, Innistrad: Midnight Hunt, and Innistrad: Crimson Vow.

We're coming at you with our favorite yum yucking series! It's been a while since we've taken a popular commander and told the madding crowd enough is enough, but let's take a look at The Ur-Dragon. Kyle and Andy discuss why the popular legend has such an unrelenting stranglehold on dragon tribal decks. From examining the capacity of the tribe to carry on without all the staples of every color, the new legends available, the gross price of The Ur-Dragon, and digging into a variety of decks, hopefully, there's a compelling case to put that dragon into your collection binder for good.

It's not a review. We're getting new commander decks this week, but rather than turning our sights to the cards, Andy takes us into the stories of this universe beyond. Magic: the Gathering product continues the path of marrying itself to other intellectual properties. Think what you will of WotC's tendril-like reach for more consumers, but Warhammer 40,000 has a rich narrative. Andy is an avid 40K story consumer, so he takes us into the context of the universe and helps give some life to the cards we'll be playing with the 40K stamp. As you grab those new 40K commander decks be sure to set the mood with Andy's Warhammer 40K playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6Z3jkFO6WCgsnJrn9n63uI?si=1e8a2a283a5248c6 ------------------- Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/legendarycreature YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/legendarycreaturepodcast Twitter: @legend_creature ------------------- Intro and outro music this episode comes courtesy of the artist Makeup and Vanity Set.

Artifacts are old tech, when it comes to Magic: the Gathering. But if you've got your finger on the pulse, you may have noticed some new avenues open up with how to use and abuse artifacts. Andy brings his research and examples to the discussion in this episode, manifesting how all the self-sacrificing artifacts over the last few years have brought about new sub-archetypes and a fresh look to some old commanders.

Andy's been busy brewing! So often we get focused on the commander and the theme for decks as EDH players. But can we get obsessed with a card like players in other formats? With a card that can hold opponents in suspense regarding its outcome, why not geek out over Danse Macabre? And if you can keep doing it with ways to loop it back to hand, even better. Andy brings to the discussion a variety of brews where this card can shine. As always, you can check out deck lists featured in this episode on our Discord server.

Kyle is taking Andy into some tech with a new auras favorite of his. But before he sets up a deck tech for Mazzy, Truesword Paladin, Kyle takes a dive into some ideas of how to conceptualize and understand this era of legendary creature design. There are tons of commanders to choose from. So how should we understand the environment and how to interact with it.

After our detour into Kamigawa, we are back for the tour of revisiting the mono-color identities. If you haven't checked out our 2018 series, it may be worth listening to see if we've learned anything the last several years.

Second are cards that are low-key threats, hardly worthy of removal, but valuable enough to get you to your destination. ------------------- Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/legendarycreature YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/legendarycreaturepodcast Twitter: @legend_creature ------------------- Intro and outro music this episode comes courtesy of the artist Makeup and Vanity Set from the 88:88 album.
