I didn't expect Star Trek to be a turning point for red in Commander, but here we are! These cards are exciting, powerful, and feel very red!

Been working on a quick redraft of Odds and Ends (including as many of the other Cavolo cards as possible) and this is what came out! I wanted a low power deck that's fun to play, containing cards I want to play with. Haven't driven it yet, but excited to break it out. archidekt.com/decks/272935...

If you were going to design a set of Commander Anthology to come out next year, what would you put in it? Mine would be: Omo Kotori Valgavoth Breena

Gameplay Show I'd Watch: A Pod of 4 Midwesterners (or Canadians) Play Control, Apologetically

Who knows Commander the Best? It's time for a Game Knights GAME SHOW! Think you can do better than our so-called "experts"? Play along and find out: youtu.be/PYdJyi1EziA cc: @wachelreeks.com @joshleekwai.bsky.social

NEW EPISODE ALERT! Episode 4 is up on YouTube with the company of @budgetcommander.bsky.social and @wachelreeks.com !!! It was a lot of fun having of them, go check it out!

Yesterday, in a Commander game, I watched a deck steal my Grandma, load her into a cannon and shoot her at another Grandma. Magic is good.

"I have a deck you can borrow." *Its mana base*

It's time for an enchanting new #ExtraTurns! We’re pitting 4 potent enchantment-themed precons against each other to prove which is the strongest! Join us for the ultimate battle of pillow forts, stax pieces, and a surprising amount of punching power: youtu.be/S-z-Nm4V6mA

"My deck is all about making my opponents learn about banding—" "Wait. Where'd everybody go?"

Changes are coming to Collector and Play boosters starting with Nauctis: The Sunken Realm next year. Learn about what's coming on DailyMTG: magic.wizards.com/en/news/anno...

The Zeta Set is taking a mulligan! If you want another shot at picking up these packs, Wizards is giving it to you. I'm glad they are getting more of these cards out in the world. They are so cool looking. magic.wizards.com/en/news/anno...

We don't make videos, we don't podcast, we just let the writers write. We're trying to prove that there's still an audience for written work about a thing we all love and word of mouth helped us sell nearly a thousand issues last time. It would rule to get over that line this time around.

IT'S HERE. Reality Fracture is a banner set and it made for a BANGER of a Game Knights. I'm obsessed with literally all of these decks (3/4 are 6-drop Commanders?!). Plus, @matthewmercer.bsky.social is as lovely as you think. It was a real pleasure getting to game with him.

Ok, but WHERE ARE MIRA AND ZOEY? AND THE TIGER? WHY IS IT ALL JINU?

Doing research on Scryfall for a future episode and I realized: There have been MORE new Legendary Creatures printed in 2026 than Non-Legendary Creatures. I knew it was bad, but... damn.

Obligatory Public Enemy post

MORE CANLANDER CONTENT?!

I had the honor of showing off the Multiversed Reforged precon and some cards from the main set that we know Commander players are going to love. youtu.be/mvTyHbTbfBo?...

Venser is super sweet and can definitely swing the game in your favor, but you better cross your fingies that your opponent doesn't have a clone. They will make INFINITE COPIES OF ALL PERMANENTS ON THE BOARD WITH HASTE.

😭😭😭 WHY IS THE RED ONE SO MUCH WOOOORSE???

The coolest part of being on the CFP is seeing the incredible contributions by the women of Magic @wachelreeks.com @goberthicks.bsky.social @luastardust.com Photo by @banditmtg.bsky.social

Doing research for this episode made me want to go back and update all my decks. I know 100 content creators have told you to run more removal, but give this ep a chance. Thinking intentionally about your disruption suite makes deckbuilding more interesting and more personal.

First up we have a Magic-Themed Game Show featuring @wachelreeks.com , @josephmschultz.bsky.social , and @rachelkendra.com ! I was inspired lightly by @veggiewagon.bsky.social ! It's from 11:30am-1pm EST!

Lost an old friend yesterday and sometimes it just bums me out how atomizing and separated life is past a certain age. All I want to do is be with our people and everybody's spread to the damn winds and buried under shit to do. You wedge your grief into the time between errands. Time's an asshole.

The Commander Format Panel is meeting with WOTC in a few weeks! Leave your comments and concerns Re: Commander below! I’ll keep them in mind when we have our conversations. Alternatively, I’ll do my best to answer questions if you have them, so you know where I’m at going into the meetings.
