CommanderCast Ep 390 – Diners, Miners, and Denials
February 24, 2020
Hello everyone and welcome to CommanderCast Episode 390! This week Mark and Adam are digging into the bag and finding a few topics to slap together an episode for you. First we go over another new product recently announced by WotC called Jumpstart. Then we take a look at some of the most underplayed Commanders in the game. Finally, we wrap things up with a set of spells designed to counter all the spells…
All that, plus our usual interstitial fodder, and all you have to do is Click the IB!!!
