From the format’s inception, color identity has been a core part of Commander, creating deck diversity by forcing players to work within restrictions. But should those limits be loosened for hybrid mana? In most formats, hybrid mana makes cards more versatile, but in Commander it actually holds them back. Lately, the Commander Format Panel has floated changing how hybrid mana works with color identity. Would this help the game, or hurt it? Don’t miss our in-depth breakdown.

Want some high-impact, low-cost cards that you can run in ANY deck? You’ve come to the right place! 

It’s time for another 10 for $10, where we bring you 10 cards you can pick up for a grand total of $10. This time, all those cards are colorless! But just because they don’t have any color doesn’t mean they won’t have a huge impact on the board. So come on in and bring a crisp 10 dollar bill!

Commander sucks, right? It’s impossible to balance, you have to sit through long turns, sometimes it feels like you didn’t even get to play.

Yes, as much as we love the format (we promise) there are definitely some inherent flaws in our favorite way to play. But what are they and how can we mitigate them to still have a good time even when game night doesn’t go as planned? There’s a lot to talk about, so let’s dive in and start complaining about Commander!

When you love a deck you want to upgrade it to the best it can be, but what do you do when a beloved brew becomes too powerful? 

In this episode, we explore that question by analyzing the life of Rachel’s high-powered Aeve, Progenitor Ooze deck. What started as a mono-green stormy dream became the ooze that cannot lose, until it finally had to get taken apart. Are there decks that just have no place in the Commander format? Tune in and find out!
