If you play #Commander (or #EDH for all you old school), I may just seem like a total random person, but I promise you... my posts WILL make you rethink your assumptions for deckbuilding (and occasionally, deck piloting) in Commander.

Oops! Dropped my laptop off my bed and now it won't turn on.
Anyone got any advice? The power light still shows when it's plugged in, so I don't think its completely broken, but maybe the keyboard got disconnected?

Deal or No Deal? | Official Commander Website
I have a method for upping your political game that no one is talking about. Once you start using it, you’ll rarely ever make deals again. What comes to mind when you think of “politics” in Commander?...

Let's say you don't know if lifegain is good in commander or not. As a result, you make decisions on including lifegain cards based on feelings.
Assuming you want to make decisions based on data rather than opinions, are you more knowledgeable with an answer after 100 games?

If you're a long-time Commander player who either A) misses the halcyon days of EDH when you sometimes had to play a few janky cards to fill out the 99 or B) struggles to build decks that aren't too strong for your playgroup, try Artisan EDH! It's EDH but with only commons and uncommons.

Here's your reminder that, if you found a sweet Commander in Foundations, but you're not sure how to best build a deck for it, I can do it for you for literally 5 bucks at www.fiverr.com/s/ljLmkAb
And this also applies to building a deck around a new card, cutting a deck, etc.

If you weren't aware, I've been testing my theory that early game advantages are counterproductive in non-cEDH Commander by recording my win rate through nearly 200 games. Instead of the expected -->

Couldn't agree more, especially for Commander where every card that is virtually a basic land that costs mana instead of a land drop is way too insignificant to be worth using up a precious card slot from your deck.

After watching the @commandcast.bsky.social episode on drafting 3+ MV mana rocks, I got pretty interested in the other episodes where they draft cards.
Are the only other two such episodes the Equipment one and the Gotcha spells one?

As promised, today is the day I talk about which anti-treasure cards are good and which are bad, starting off with definitions & explanations. If we start off with defining what is the best thing about treasure production, we can then understand which cards shut it down at that specific spot. -->
