We’re trying something different this week – Sean and Nate recorded a special episode in stuffy British accents, one of which was faked. Listen as Sean and Nate take us on a tour of ten cards provided randomly by Gatherer and discuss how they will fare in a Commander deck. Let us know if you disagree about any of our assessments.

In part 2 of his amazing visit, Jason Alt comes Commanderin’ to tell us about MTG Finance, Rush, and a little bit about stand-up comedy. As usual, our listeners supplied the best questions.

This guy’s every where:

At Gathering Magic, where he first coined the term 75% decks.
At MTG Price, where he gives advice to the MTG finance community (from behind a paywall).
On Twitter (@JasonEAlt), where he gives out opinions for free.
On his two podcasts Brainstorm Brewery and Money Draught, where, while they are not family-friendly, are fantastic and often funny with an eye on where the dollars are going in Magic.
His email is altjason17 at gmail dot com

While recording the first part of the discussion, Jason mentioned his Shu Yun solution to “the Rafiq problem” in this excellent article.

GP Las Vegas Bounding!

May 28, 2015UpdateCommander, EDH, GPLasVegas, Magic: the Gathering, MTGPhil DeLuca

No, I’m not going to dress like a slot machine.

Nate and I are on the way to GP Vegas. He’s flying down from San Francisco, I am driving over from Los Angeles. Yes, we’re a multi-city podcast/gaming group.

Sean, in the meantime, is anchoring from home in sunny England (hey, we’re multi-continental, too). Does that mean we’re not podcasting this week?

Noooope!

Nate and I will record at the Command Zone-hosted podcast party on Thursday. We’re also going to record ourselves throughout the weekend, and Skype with Sean whenever we can. The audio quality won’t be superb, but the content will be a blast!

If you see us, come up and introduce yourself. We’d like nothing more, and maybe we’ll get some cards in.

In this episode, we introduce ourselves and talk about commanderin’ with Dragonlord Silumgar, and also talk about the powerful card Bribery. Bribery is about as close to staple blue as you can get in Commander/EDH. We also talk about the horror of losing expensive cards in a basement flood. (Please visit the Command Zone, while you’re at it.)
