Karlov Manor Precon Upgrades & Comparison | Deep Clue Sea vs Blame Game | 588
Need a clue about which precon to upgrade from Murders at Karlov Manor? Don’t worry, we’re on the case!
This episode, we’re bringing you another back-to-back deck upgrade and comparison. We line up two suspects – the Deep Clue Sea (white/blue/green) and Blame Game (red/white) preconstructed decks – then tell you how to upgrade both of them with 10 cards for under $50. Once the evidence has been laid out, we’ll let you know which deck we think is guilty… of being the best!

Does Kingmaking Ruin Games? | Bonus Episode
It’s good to be king, but is it good to be the kingmaker? So often in Commander, a player on the brink of death has the power to choose which remaining opponent will get the crown or who will take the loss. But what’s the right thing to do in that situation? Do you spite the player who wronged you?? Flip a coin? Or simply go quietly into the knight and let the game take its course? Today we ask the question: Does Kingmaking Ruin Games?

Is Infect Too Strong Now? | Bonus Episode
Show Notes:
Poison counters are back in Phyrexia: All Will Be One and with them returns the age-old Commander question: Is infect too strong? Sure, 10 is a lot less than 40, but is it actually easier to pull off?
This episode, our poison expert Craig “Mr. Infect” Blanchette joins the table to discuss the power of poison in EDH. Does the new “Toxic” ability affect whether the poison counter rule should be raised to 15 or even 20? Tune in and find out.

2022 Year In Review | #506
Show Notes:
2022 is done, and it’s time to lay everything out on the table. (Yes, even 30th Anniversary Edition!) It’s been a year of new hosts, new events, new controversies, but most of all, lots and lots and LOTS of products. It might be fair to say that 2022 has had more Magic: the Gathering than any year in the history of the game.
This episode, we join together to go over the highs and lows of the year, giving our opinions on how things have gone and our hopes for what the future may bring. There’s a lot to cover so let’s jump into the 2022 year in review!
(Note: The number we stated for “new commanders printed this year” was incorrect. We said there were 383. The actual number is 362. We inadvertently included "acorn symbol" non-legal legends in our original count.)

How to Mulligan | #504
This epispose-- Sorry. This ebidsode-- Ugh, let me try that again. This episode, we’re going to discuss How To Mulligan! Sure the actions you take during a game matter a lot, but if you don’t pay enough attention to your opening hand, you could lose before you even get started! We’ll go over how mulligans work, what you should be looking for in a good hand, and even give you some examples of common traps and mistakes players fall into.
Getting better at mulligans is one of the quickest and easiest ways to have more fun whenever you play Magic. And maybe grab a few more victories too. Come check it out!

Cards That Matter from The Brothers War | In the 99 Analysis | #503
In Magic – like in war – a strong commander can’t win alone. You need the best soldiers, tools, and munitions to get the job done.

Top 5 OVERRATED Cards in Commander | #161
Hyperbole is a huge part of Magic: the Gathering culture. We love to proclaim that “X is the best card ever!” or that “If you play Y, you can’t lose”. While it’s fun to make these kind of bold statements, it also means we’re probably doing a disservice to just how good a card ACTUALLY is. Today we’re going to address 5 cards each that we think players have overrated in Commander.
