Cole (he/him) and Empress Quinn (fae/faer) are here to talk about all things Commander, every two weeks on a Friday! It's a cozy cast between friends, talking about our decks, games and the crazy plays we've seen with friends we adore. Come join the ride! Viewer discretion is advised.

It's been a wild ride, y'all. But we can at least close it on a good note, because nothing bad happened to Slobad, Bosh or Glissa right? Right? HobbesQ (@@HobbesQ on Twitter), the Soft-Dom for Self-Care advocate for BetterDaysMTG is here to talk about his deck made for the Praetor's for Change charity event held at the end of October for Equality Texas and Florida. We discuss the deck, Hobbes' relationship with Slobad as a character, and our relationship with Magic as it throws out new product all the time. Check out Hobbes' "Slobad, Actually Just Fine" deck on Moxfield, and check out Goblin Lore's Linktree!

In the Red corner we have Jeskaibowl made by TheBenwa, and in the Blue corner, we have Killer Queen made by Cole! And....wait why are there knife wielding clowns showing up in the arena? We're now a Captive Audience! British Columbia is filled with cool people, and so we welcome TheBenwa with open arms as we join together to chat about his Juri, Master of the Revue Artisan deck! We then discuss brewing in the community, and why we both took to the Battlebox, shared deck experience with our respective brews of Queen Marchesa and Narset, Enlightened Exile. Check out TheBenwa on Twitter @THEBENWA, his Juri "Feng Shui Engine" list and his Jeskaibowl v1 on Moxfield, and Cloudhead Game's Linktree.

Ok lemme tell you the lightning in the bottle format I just made. It's Commander Dandân, but instead of blue it's Mardu, and everyone had Queen Marchesa as a commander, and the deck is 100-some-odd cards, and it's about topdecking and capitalizing on the graveyard, and- I ramble for a few minutes to talk about my Killer Queen project that I've been working on for a few weeks, and will be doing further testing to see what my friends think! Check out the list on Moxfield in its current 2.0 version, and take a peak at the primer!

Unspeakable horrors of the night kicking down your door? Just another day on Innistrad. Eliana aka DefiantCathar returns, casting off the "Necro" for "Cathar", and discuss the badassery of humans on Innistrad, our relationship with the plane and the characters, and gives me one more reason to talk about Odric, Blood-Cursed. "I serve the soft light of the moon that holds back the terrors of the night. I serve the bonds between us, driving out the fear that would break us apart. I serve the holiness we all aspire to". You can find Eliana on Twitter @defiantcathar

Lenny's back, and you know what that means: endless topics and conversation! Teshar got downshifted, so now Lenny and I get to ramble about mono-white combos, discuss CEDH application, and our typical D&D x MTG dreams, as well as anime talk. Check out Lenny on Twitter @LennyWooley, check out his Teshar Power Sink article on EDHRec.

On the Streets of New Capenna, you gotta get down in the trenches to survive. Let's show you the ropes, newbie. BeyondTheMachina joins me to talk about his Precon Theory New Capenna decks, built for Artisan, budget, and ease of use in mind. Focusing on the Uncommon Legends of the set, he broke down what was needed for each deck to make them effective. (Also I love me some Mr Orfeo the Boulder).
