Untitled Commander Series 4: The Decks We Do Not Build

Every so often I wonder what could have been. If I had decided that my first year Calculus class was not that bad, would I have pursued a degree in Physics instead of English? Would I have ended up getting as involved at college and found my career? If my Magic collection hadn’t fallen offContinue reading “Untitled Commander Series 4: The Decks We Do Not Build”

Labor Day-bor Commander

It’s been a while since I’ve indulged myself in the “dash of Commander” that this page purports to support.

April 25-26 Weekend in Review

I was not optimistic about the potential impact of Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths in Pauper. After last weekend I was proven rather wrong as already 11 cards from the set have posted a Top 32 Challenge finish or gone 5-0 in the Pauper League. Considering the prevailing popular talking point about new sets is thatContinue reading “April 25-26 Weekend in Review”
