Hello everyone and welcome to CommanderCast Episode 351! We are your weekly source for community, strategy, and technology hosted each and every week on Commandercast.com! On this  week’s episode Mark is joined by Mike as Adam is apparently taking a nap in parts unknown. Speaking of unknown parts, this week the guys talk about spells with an unknown part which is only limited to the value of X. X-Spells can be some of the more powerful and dangerous spells within the game. I mean 10 mana is 10 mana but an X can be anything… it could even be 10 mana! We’ll take the X this week while showing you how to give your opponents the L.

So lets stop waiting and Click the IB!!!
