Today’s episode of Commanding on a Budget features Karston’s Stonebrow, Krosan Hero deck. It was in a game play on the channel and since then we’ve received a lot of requests to do a deck tech for it.
The Other 99 – Seizan, Perverter of Truth
February 20, 2013
Posted by ‘KARSTON’ aka ‘TOPANDGO’
Hey everybody and thanks for watching another episode of The Other 99. Today we tackle some mono-black goodness in the form of a Seizan, Perverter of Truth deck. Now most mono-black decks that I have seen and played against have been pretty boring, featuring some variation of an Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and Cabal Coffers ramp plan into a massive “X mana” spell, such as Exsanguinate.
This deck actually does run all three of the aforementioned cards, bu this deck’s strategy is completely different. This deck plays with an archetype that I think may be a little bit underestimated in Commander: Pressure. Ever have games that just seem to drag on forever, or have playgroups filled with control decks that stall the game? Well pressure decks exist to speed up games by putting every player at the table on a clock that they either have to outrace or lose. Sometimes this means that the pilot of the pressure deck ends up losing to his own clock, but the deck is usually built to try to bolster the its defenses against itself.
I personally think that this archetype deserves a little bit more love. I personally have built a Zo-Zu, the Punisher pressure deck that I feel is a ton of fun to play. Have you built a pressure deck of your own?

It’s been over two months since I last posted anything on CommanderCast, and in that time I’ve come to realize that I’ve said almost everything I had to say about community issues. (Although I reserve the right to dredge up my Line in the Sand series if feel the need to get up on my soapbox.) With that in mind, I decided to start afresh. But what to do? It wasn’t until about two weeks ago that I finally realized that I really wanted to give videos a try. I’ve been helping with the videos on the Top and Go Productions channel for quite some time, but I’ve never made one myself. So I set aside my doubts about how hard it would be, and learned how to edit video.
CommanderCast #100 – Centurions

Welcome to CommanderCast’s 100th episode!
Two years after some humble beginnings, we’ve reached this point. The audioscape adventure across the once-wild frontier of EDH has rumbled through all kinds of strange and exotic territories now, picking up and dropping off co-hosts, guests, and contributors as it’s moved. I’d like to think in it’s wake, the virtual caravan has left everyone changed in some way for the positive–more enlightened, more social, better at the game, but above all else entertained and informed.
For this special episode, I’ve assembled CommanderCast’s Centurions: a legion of guests and co-hosts from across the history of the show who have answered the call specifically for this feature. Together, twenty different voices will attack a broad range of subjects. There’s something for everyone in these nine topics, with as many viewpoints as I could squeeze in recording them over almost three months. I hope to take EDH players everywhere into 2013 with a really unique experience. It’s a long one, and there’s a lot in the show notes, so you might want to just sit back and enjoy this one to the fullest with this page at the ready for links and such. Also, there’s lots of ways to get in touch with the various people you’re hearing here. Don’t hesitate to do so to further the discussion.
Thanks to everyone who helped out with the recording and production of the show! I know some of the times were a bit of a hassle so I appreciate all the Centurions putting in a little extra effort to be true Gs and make it to the recordings.

S8E7 – Throwback

Remember this?
this banner is still awesome
I sure do!
This week, we do a sort of throwback episode–a retrospective and whatnot. I am joined by Byron for this episode as the two of us went back to the origin of this whole audioscape adventure. I looked over the notes of S1E1 and transformed them into the show you see today, where we take a look back on many of the same topics as we discussed two years ago with the benefit of hindsight, talk about the future, and shout out some of our brothers in content production too.
Be sure to come back tomorrow for a very special edition of CommanderCast, the biggest episode ever to kick off 2013!
Show notes and pertinent links below. Enjoy.
