Commander

Arabian Nights, released in 1993, was Magic's first expansion set. Let's revisit it and see how it impacted the meta of its time. I'll also highlight which cards are still playable, which are the strangest, and which are flavor wins!

Roon of the Hidden Realm and Erebos, God of the Dead helm these two bracket 4 decks in a powerhouse battle of Midrange vs. Midrange. These are two of our oldest decks and have met more than once over the years. Who will prove victorious this time?

Huatli, Poet of Unity is THE best commander to helm a Dinosaur Tribal deck. From ramping to tutoring to making our threats more lethal, this Human Warrior Bard is lord of the Dinosaurs for a reason!

Hydras have gotten some powerful and fun new cards in the past year. From Mossborn Hydra to The Earth Crystal, I highlight the changes I've made to my Hydra Tribal Commander deck here.

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 about this deck?

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.

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!

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!

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?

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!
