I Allegedly looked at the Preview card ahead of time in the back end of word press in the images before the article posted….Allegedly.
Squee, a wild Rachael has appeared!
I can’t remember how I found CommanderCast, except I found it not too long after Rachael took over. Certainly brightened many a night listening to the podcast at work in the warehouse. Can’t recall when I started airing my opinions in the comments though.
Certainly have tracked things down before. I lament that the Alpha Build: Avacyn will go uncompleted, but I’m happy to have challenged that deck a couple times in the recorded games. ( Also, a testament to things, it’s a tough project, I had only partly begun doing a card search trying to tease out the white and artifact card through to Future Sight, in many ways I wanted to build an alternate version of the deck that had taken on a completely different focus as the deck developed. 🙂 ) A shame, I kind of liked throwing some decks into the mix, especially thematic ones, such as when Avacyn added Tempest block and I had a Sliver deck for her to face down.
Love the secret tech, as deep as my game knowledge can be, I miss things too. Right now I’m using City of Shadows as one of my two sac outlets in my Dragonlord Silumgar list. It’s primary use is sac outlet, then occasionally a mana source. Remember, never intend to give creatures back to your opponents once you take them.
Love the show and the work you guys do.
