CommanderCast S10E11 [123]- What’s More East Than Maine?
July 29, 2013
Every now and then, and upstart blog appears to try and knock us off our throne of commander content. You know what we do to those people ? We invite them on and plug their stuff!
Christian and Scott join us today to talk about their new web blog, East Coast Commander! We’ll also here the Captain’s report on how ell Selesnyan mechanics work together.
Lastly, we’re finally getting some of our two cents in by discussing the new cards that got spoiled over San Diego Comic Con! Shard generals, eh? I know a few decks that’ll be SUPER happy to have some new blood.
As always, shownotes after the Ib.

Captain’s Log – The Next Guild is…Selesnya!
Test General: Rhys, the Redeemed
Convoke: A great mechanic that essentially acts as “surprise cards” on your opponent’s when you can get them for free.
Notable cards: Chord of Calling, Devouring Light, Hour of Reckoning, Sprout Swarm, Sundering Vitae
Populate: Seems slow initially, but getting an extra guy off of effects that you would normally play is actually really good value!
Notable cards: Rootborn Defenses, Sundering Growth, Trostani’s Judgement
Overall: It’s a good mix!
Technology Segment: 53:58 – 1:32:41
