Strategy:
Per Jeremy’s comment on Ep 287:
- When is my deck finished?
- Short answer: when it’s a Commander ’95 deck 😉
- Real answer: Artistic vs competitive
- When should I shake things up?
- When is it better to make a new deck instead of reworking the existing one?
Technology:
New segment: Too Cute or Kind of Awesome?
Are these card synergies/combos/interactions viable enough to include in your deck or are you just durdling around when you could actually be winning the game?
- Karma + Urborg, tomb of yawgmoth in a Darian, King of Kjeldor deck. (Inspired by Nate Burgess from the Commanderin’ podcast)
- Sivvi’s Valor + any chump blocker in Darian.
- Mephidross Vampire + Triskelion/Walking Ballista (+ Blade of the Bloodchief, for overkill)
- Cyclone in a Treefolk deck
- Final Fortune + Sundial of the Infinite (credit: The Command Zone’s “Breaking Boros” episode)
