Hello everyone and welcome to CommanderCast Episode 294! We’re your weekly source for Community, Strategy, and Technology, hosted on MTGcast.com and our homesite: CommanderCast.com! This week Mark and Adam are going to talk about Precon decks! BUT there’s a catch… for you see instead of the usual talking about how each of the new decks play, which long time listeners know we will get to, instead we’re going to take a look at what comes in the decks and discuss what we think should have been in it. 

So if you’re down with that all you have to do is click the IB!!!
