Commander Update – Mono Red Dragon Tribal with Inferno of the Star Mounts
With all the new Dragon and Dragon-related cards Tarkir: Dragonstorm brought us, it’s time to update my Mono Red Dragon Tribal deck in Commander! What new cards made the cut? What old cards did I discover since last I wrote…
Commander Posts
Hydra Tribal vs. Goblin Tribal in Commander
Zaxara, the Exemplary leads this Hydra Tribal deck against Krenko, Mob Boss and his horde of Goblins in a match-up of a new commander versus an old commander.
An Army of Clues with Tamiyo, Inquisitive Student
Tamiyo, Inquisitive Student is a great build around commander for any Control deck...but that's not what we're interested in doing! Instead, we're amassing an army of Clues that we can turn into creatures to attack down our opponent's life total!
Schedule – April 2025 and Musings on Tarkir: Dragonstorm
Tarkir: Dragonstorm releases this month and I'm excited to test out a bunch of brews with all these new Dragon cards! First up: Mono Red Dragons with Sarkhan, Dragon Ascendant. In Commander, I'm highlighting my Tamiyo, Inquisitive Student deck that looks to bend the color pie and go aggro with Clues turned into creatures!
Mono Black Burn with Sheoldred, the Apocalypse
Sheoldred, the Apocalypse helms this Mono Black Burn deck in Commander. Can we assemble enough combo pieces and find enough direct damage to drain opponents out from 40 life?
Schedule – March 2025
This month, I'm excited to try out some of the new Dinosaurs in Pioneer! Meanwhile, in Modern...well, I'm less enthusiastic, though I want to build a deck around Thunderous Velocipede. In Commander, I'll be highlighting my Mono Black Burn deck!
Modern Posts
Dragons in Modern – Dragonback Assault
Dragonback Assault is a powerful new enchantment from Tarkir: Dragonstorm. Can a dedicated ramp package get us to the 6-mana mythic in time to win some games in Modern? Oh, and we get to play the new Ugin and Breaching Dragonstorm!
Keeping Modern Janky – Gruul Ponza with Magmatic Hellkite
Gruul Ponza just got a new toy in Magmatic Hellkite. Alongside Obsidian Charmaw, we now have two finishers attached to land destruction. Throw in a whole bunch of land destruction spells and we have a hateful, hateful deck looking to prey on Eldrazi, Amulet Titan, Tron, and more!
Dragons in Modern – Shiko, Paragon of the Way
Shiko, Paragon of the Way is a powerful new mythic Dragon from Tarkir: Dragonstorm. Combining the power of Sun Titan and Snapcaster Mage, is it good enough to make a Jeskai good stuff deck competitive in Modern? Let's find out!
Schedule – May 2025
I've been testing the mythic Dragons from Tarkir: Dragonstorm and this month I'm going to highlight Shiko, Paragon of the Way. I'll also be trying out some of the new cards in Pioneer. Meanwhile, I've enjoyed playing a hateful land destruction deck that's well-positioned in today's Modern that I'll show y'all!
Dragons in Modern – Mono Red Dragons with Sarkhan, Dragon Ascendant
Tarkir: Dragonstorm gives my Mono Red Dragons deck in Modern several new toys. Sarkhan, Dragon Ascendant slots in nicely as a Treasure producer to compliment Magda, Hoardmaster, while Magmatic Hellkite fills out our curve with a threat that punishes Eldrazi and greedy mana bases alike!
