Hello everyone and welcome to CommanderCast Episode 402! This week Mark and Adam are talking about some new rules changes to Commander involving what happens when your Commander leaves the battlefield! But first, we all need some of that M21 Core Set goodness in our lives. Then the guys finish the episode off by discussing a few oddball cards from Kamigawa.
All that, plus our usual interstitial fodder, and all you have to do is Click the IB!!!

Community
More previews!! New M21 cards we’re excited about.
(See also: nifty reprints in M21.)
Interstitial fodder:
- Judge Dredd: America is probably way too depressing to read at the moment, but Amazon’s Future Shock! The Story of 2000AD is well-worth watching.
- Zelda 2 is a hateful, hateful game, even with save states.
- Dorayaki is delish.
Strategy
Commander Rules Change: “Commanders will now trigger death & exile triggers when they die and go to the Command Zone!” (per ChannelFireball’s Twitter.)
(See also: Toby Elliot announcing it on Twitch.)
- What commanders/strategies benefit most from this?
- Do any cards/decks get worse?
