Hello everyone and welcome to Commandercast Episode 172! We’re your weekly source for Community, Strategy, and Technology, hosted on MTGcast.com and our homesite: Commandercast.com! We’re recording this on October 21, 2014. This week William, Calvin, Mark, and Clay are joined by Cassidy Silver from TCGplayer.com and The Grandfather of EDH from starcitygames.com himself, Sheldon Menery!

With the new Commander 2014 product coming up within a few weeks, we bring Sheldon on to ask him the questions you provided! How does the RC feel about Planeswalkers as commanders, what caused the banned list to go to banned or not and the lost of the banned as a commander list, and how the EDH RC and WoTC work together as a whole for multi-player cards? We then move on to talk about store leagues and the 75% rule of deck building!

All this and more awaits you with the click of an IB!
