Commander

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!

Tyvar the Bellicose is the perfect Elf commander to take unimposing mana dorks and transform them into lethal killing machines. But that's not all! In true Elfball fashion, Black gives us the kind of reach that lets us win without combat. Interested? Check out this Golgari Tyvar Elf Tribal deck in Commander!

What old, mostly budget-friendly cards are still playable in today's high-powered Commander format? This month we're going all the way back to 1996 and the Ice Age block.

Let's see if we can open any chase rares or mythics in this collector booster box of Aetherdrift!

This month, I'll be taking a break from Modern to explore Pioneer versions of some of my Modern decks. First on the list: Lukka Surprise with the new-to-Pioneer Progenitus? It's no Emrakul, the Aeons Torn, but will it close out games just as well? In Commander, I'm deciding between Tyvar the Bellicose and Naya Eggs,…
