The Legends of Big Dingus As I was packing for MagicCon Philadelphia I left four of my Commander decks behind. One of these was a deck I had together for quite some time but had yet to play beyond playtesting – Multani, Maro-Sorcerer. I had the chance to play the deck for the first timeContinue reading “Stories from Multani, Maro-Sorcerer”

Commanding Stupid Green Deck
About six months ago I pitched something to my editor. I had been trying to find a way to write about Commander that played to my strengths and after bouncing a few ideas back and forth I came up with the concept that became this article. I would take successful or interesting tournament decks fromContinue reading “Commanding Stupid Green Deck”

Treasured Finds: Sarulf, Realm Eater
Welcome back to Treasured Finds: a place to appreciate Golgari and Witherbloom in Commander. The other day a friend of me asked how I felt about the proliferation of potential Commanders.

Svogthir’s Study: Iname as One
Hello and welcome to Svogthir’s Study: a place to appreciate Golgari in Commander. I struggled to sit down and write this one. Bodes well for the second article in a series, right?

Svogthir’s Study: Vhati il-Dal
Hello and welcome to Svogthir’s Study: a place to appreciate Golgari in Commander. I’m a dinosaur when it comes to Magic. Many elements of the game that feel intrinsic and vital today were, at one point, novel.
