Hello everyone and welcome to CommanderCast Episode 428! This week Mark and Adam are back and going over what it takes to win in Azorius decks! Blue and White are well known for their ability to control a game once they get a good enough of a foothold, but once they control is in hand… how do you win? Well today the guys are all about the color combination with a look at the recent Commander precon decks, a quick discussion on ways to win, and even an Entourage segment about a recently released Azorius Commander… Vega, the Watcher!

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