Hello everyone and welcome to CommanderCast Episode 417! This week Mark and Adam are getting spooky for Halloween and talking about some of the scariest things in Magic! That’s right this week the guys are telling about the recent events going on from the various issues with the Secret Lairs product, the “Captain” format and the integrity of the RC, and pretty much the recent questionable decisions that WotC have been coming out with this year. Then to lighten up the mood, the guys discuss some random things like the best Horror type creatures and the return of Partner as a mechanic.

All that, plus our usual interstitial fodder, and all you have to do is Click the IB!!!
