Magic players who know we personally know that I enjoy removing killing creatures and clearing boards of creatures. In my EDH playgroup, I'm known as the guy who tends to have the removal options needed to take out big threats.But what I like even more than that is killing my own creatures and...
Another Saturday night has passed, and that means my playgroup had another round of Commander together. This time, we managed to get in two games in. Though we probably could have gotten more in, had we not been too tired to continue, but it's pretty to go on a high note than force an exhausted...
Usually, in my Cockatrice Commander/EDH playgroup, we have a series of matches in which we run any number of different decks and play test out the new decks we've built over the week.Last night though, we only had a single match that lasted about 2 hours. There were multiple reasons for this, which...
It's no secret that ever since Risen Reef was revealed in the new Core Set 2020, players have had their eye on Elementals as a tribe. As a 1/1 that either adds a card to our hand when it comes out, it would have already been a decent card. But the fact that other Elementals, including other copies...
As many of you may know, every Saturday night I play Commander with a few of my friends on Cockatrice. Normally, I take to Twitter to go through the decks I played with and won with, talking about some of the combos and big plays I performed.However, this week is a bit different. Instead of our own...

When it comes to Magic: The Gathering, one of my favorite experiences is finding a silly concept that has enough support in the cards to become a competitively viable deck. Way back during in the days of the Closed Beta, the deck I played most was based on Muldrotha, the Gravetide. While not a...
Core Set 2020 has finally dropped in Magic Arena, and new decks are being developed as I write this. However, as I'm coming back from AnthroCon, I didn't have much time to build a new construct of my own.So let's run a favorite deck of mine, Grixis Control, and see what new strategies people have...
Another session in the arena, and another deck type too try out. This time, we pilot another variant of the Esper deck: Esper Hero.You can find the decklist here.First off, I'm disappointed that I lost my cool like that in the middle of the stream. In hindsight, I don't think there's anything wrong...
Since the Elusive Target didn't take anywhere near as long as I anticipated, I opted to stream some Magic Arena for another hour or so.So what better time than now to play what appears to be the best deck in Standard: Esper Control.The deck can be found here.Versions of this deck have been around...
