Casual Commander Revival

This week, Levi and Luke try a new format where we create "vaults" inspired by the Fallout series where we conduct experiments on the commander format with various rule changes.

This episode we are joined by Maya the Gathering, a rising MTG influencer on Instagram to talk about how she got into Magic and content creation, her favorite decks and commanders, and how she approaches the game.

This week, we bring our friend Hooah on the podcast with us as we discuss MagicCon Chicago and reflect on our experiences from a weekend that was both fun and frustrating.

This week, Luke and Levi talk about MagicCon Chicago and how they're preparing for it.

This episode, Levi and Luke look at Magic's year in 2023 and all of the different sets that came out. Check out which sets we liked, which ones we loved, and which ones we didn't like.

Everyone has a few pet cards. Cards that nobody else likes, but you *love* because you pulled it off with something crazy exactly one time and you've been chasing that high ever since. Well, we're talking about some of those today while we talk about our favorite cards of each card type and why we love those cards.

Expanding upon our previous episode, we talk more about what we value in commanders, and how those preferences influence the decks we build. Do you prefer your commanders to be the engines of your deck, or would you rather they be the finishing blow to help push you across the finish line?

Do you have any Magic: The Gathering decks that you just don't like all the much, and you're not sure why? Do you have some that you love and you want to figure out how to make more that you love just as much? This episode we're talking about how did exactly that, and learned how to make more enjoyable commander decks.

This episode, Levi and Luke discuss how the game has changed since they started playing over a decade ago. Standard used to be the premier format, but it's almost non-existent now. What else has changed?

Magic: The Gathering is a complex game with a complex set of rules. And like many other parts of life, the community has created a few unwritten rules and codes of conduct that people generally abide by. We discuss some of those rules, how we perceive them, and how they can shape games of Commander.

Hey! Welcome to our Magic: The Gathering podcast. We're Levi Stevenson and Luke Vorwald, and we're casual Magic players that love the game and love talking about it. We're here to talk about the nuances of our game and give you our view from the cheap seats.
