On this episode, Loren (aka mtg_hotdog) joins the show to discuss his Dihada, Binder of Wills cEDH deck. Using the -2 ability, Dihada allows you to mill some cards into your graveyard to then enable various combos.

On this episode, I take Mark Rosewater's Tumblr preview for Murders at Karlov Manor and make very out-there predictions on some of the cards we might see in the set! It's a good time!

On this episode of the podcast, we talk about the sets which dropped in Magic: The Gathering in 2023 and some of our highlight cards from each set. I also spend way too much time talking about cards that now see play in cEDH. There is also talk about The One Ring and Orcish Bowmasters.

We are a couple weeks out from Ravnica Remastered, so it's time for my thoughts on the reprint-only set.

On this episode of the show, I talk about the past year in EDH for myself and how I leaned into more cEDH territory this year on the overall.

On this episode, I highlight an Aura Enchantment for 2 that gives a creature +2/+2 and Flying!

On this episode, StalwartUrsa joins the show to talk about the lore and flavor of the Lost Caverns of Ixalan set that is just about to be released. Hint - the set is a home run and then some in both categories. Then we talk about Skrelv a little bit because we all need a little Skrelv in our lives.

On this episode, I discuss what I enjoy about Secret Lair releases and why it's nice to have variety in terms of art styles on Magic cards.

As is tradition, the Mark Rosewater Tumblr preview is out for Lost Caverns of Ixalan, so I give some of my predictions for cards in the set based on the previews!

I have (unofficially) Top-16d a cEDH tournament, going 2-1 at a Second Chance Redemption Event at Silicon Dynasty II!!!!! Oh, and this episode features a wrapup of my experience at Silicon Dynasty II including my thoughts on how I did in the Main Event and my redemption with Godo in Round 2.

As is tradition, I do my post-Con wrapup where I talk about what went down at the event and the stuff that I got to participate in. Support your local cosplayers!

What's better than D&D or MTG? Both, of course. Proprietor of the MTG Ska-losseum, Useless_Nolage, joins the show to discuss turning multiplayer MTG into a cooperative experience using the D&D Secret Lair cards from D&D: Honor Amongst Thieves. I participated in the first run of this experience and had a lot of fun.

On this episode of the Lightning Build, Looty_Scooty joins the show to build a Jund deck with Darigaaz Reincarnated! Dragon Voltron for the win!

The MTG 2024 Product Lineup was recently released, and that means it's time for speculation season! Gabe TGYK returns to the show along with newcomers LordKaiju2 and Tyler from the Commander Paradise podcast to go over each of the main set products and provide insight into what we would like to see in each set.

It's time for MaRo Tumblr post season, so I dive into the reveals for Wilds of Eldraine and give my speculations on some of the information contained inside. I'm probably very wrong on most of these speculations, but that's pretty normal.

On this episode, I recount my experience at a Commander Masters Preview Event draft and explain how exciting it was! Enough said.

On this episode of Know a Brewer, I sit down with the multi-talented VeggieWagon to discuss not only his personal deckbuilding style (including Tempting Wurm), but also his work building decks for content on DeckedOut EDH.

On this cEDH deck tech, your_pryscilla returns to the show to discuss Cormela, Glamour Thief from Streets of New Capenna and how this deck relies both on its Commander and on classic Grixis wincons to win games.

On this episode, I talk about Hostile Desert, a fairly hostile land that is also a Desert.

It's the third anniversary of the MTG In Quarantine podcast, so it's time to talk about the decks I have built over the years that didn't work out as intended. Some decks here are still sleeved and available to play, while others have been torn apart never to be seen again. I walk through my thought process in brewing and what exactly went wrong with each deck.

On this episode, I recap CommandFest Anaheim this past weekend in Anaheim, CA and talk about the Lord of the Rings set prerelease, playing EDH, folks I met for the first time, and overall impression of the event.

On this episode, I pick five Legendary Creatures from the Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle Earth main set that I feel would make underrated Commanders for your next EDH brew! These cards are in no particular order, but all of them have some serious potential that I feel will be overlooked when the set comes out.

On this episode of the podcast, fellow Gerrard Capashen cosplayer ninjapufft joins the show to discuss the decision to cosplay as Gerrard as well as some interesting bits of deep lore from MTG's past!

Like the curated Limited environments for EDH but wish it could involve more chaos?

Participants take 14 packs and build a deck in 75 minutes before playing three rounds and hopefully making it to the Final round.

On this episode, I discuss "The Bulk Bin Phenomenon" which happens whenever you dig through a bulk bin at LGS or card show. The thrill of the chase and the unknown element of what you might uncover in the bulk bin can be motivating factors into spending your time looking at bulk cards versus just looking at cards in a case.

On this cEDH deck tech, Gabe TGYK joins the show to discuss Muzzio, Visionary Architect and a combo-tastic mono-blue cEDH deck that runs not one, not two, but 11 different combos. And the deck primer even reads as a restaurant menu!

MagicCon 30 was held in Minneapolis, Minnesota from May 5-7, and I was a featured Content Creator there! I talk about my experience hanging out at the Content Creator booth playing a modified version of Pai Gow with guests, meeting new folks and reconnecting with old friends, playing EDH, and just in general having a good time.

On this episode, Krark enthusiast and member of the Bufftown Bullies ScoopPhase joins the show to discuss "The Pile". What is "The Pile", you ask? It's a curated stack of cards that is used as a shared deck between all participating players and contains many cards that are too overcosted for most EDH decks but in this unique format can be quite game-breaking.

On this cEDH deck tech, famous Minsc and Boo cEDH tournament player @your_pryscilla joins the show to discuss these Timeless Heroes and the many combos which can turn a simple ranger and a hamster into a serious threat to your opponents' life totals.

On this episode of the podcast, Jonathan McManus of Kingdoms TV joins the show to discuss how to prepare for tournament cEDH as well as what to expect in the tournament environment. We both utilize examples from our own experiences to discuss how new players can get up to speed in the tournament scene.

Charles (a.k.a. the Mono White Guy) returns to the show to discuss not only how to play Mono White in cEDH, but also the many faceted nuances that go into playing this color. It's a power-packed hour episode that you won't want to miss!

It's a double feature episode when Mauuuloch/Skylar joins the show to discuss Kraum/Tevesh Szat Kitten Breach as well as a Know a Brewer segment in the first half of the episode. It's two episodes in one, and since All Will Be One . . . well, just means you won't want to miss it.

Mark Rosewater is back with his Tumblr preview post for March of the Machine, so that means it's time for me to give my reaction on this upcoming set!

The MTGxLotR crossover set started previews just a few days ago, so that meant it was time for me to journey over to ScryFall and talk about the cards previewed for the set! There are spoilers ahead, so be wary of this episode if you don't want to hear about the cards at this point in time.

On this episode of Know a Brewer, I sit down with Sarah NSMTG for a discussion of deckbuilding style plus some fun Vorthos thoughts on the upcoming set, March of the Machine! You won't want to miss this episode!

The collaboration with the Howling Salt Mine podcast continues as Mike guests on the show to walk us through his Sisay, Weatherlight Captain 'Tutor Chains' decklist for cEDH. This deck utilizes Sisay's ability to tutor Planeswalkers and other Legendary value pieces onto the battlefield to devastating effect.

On this cEDH deck spotlight, guest Sam from the Howling Salt Mine Podcast joins the show to discuss his Marath, Will of the Wild cEDH deck! This deck uses Marath in a number of ways to grind value, take out annoying opposing creatures, and is a mana sink to help you win the game in a Naya shell.

MagicCon 30 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania just wrapped up, and that means it's time to go over as much of what I saw and did at the Con as humanly possible! I give shout-outs to my fellow cosplayers, EDH players, and highlight games and events that I participated in. You will find that I have a hard time putting things into words at times, but that's just how hard it was to get everything in.

On this episode of the podcast, good friend Charles (a.k.a. the Mono-White Guy) joins the show to walk listeners through his Ao, the Dawn Sky cEDH deck build. This deck looks to not only use its Commander to leverage card advantage or pump the board, but takes a very different approach to the meta than most decks and can be very effective when all of the pieces are working together. It's not a generic value pile, but instead utilizes White's strong synergies to lock out opponents and win.

On this episode of the Know a Brewer segment, I sit down with AllieGolem to go over deck-building strategies and new decks!

Ready for the epic conclusion to the year-long Phyrexian invasion arc? With new details for this set dropping soon, I invite three fellow Planeswalkers to the show to discuss and debate theories on what might be included both in the March of the Machine lore as well as cards/mechanics. It's a speculation spectacular that you won't want to miss!
