So today the guys are going over Wizard tribal and some of the best “Wizard Matters” you can get in Commander.

Are Lessons the final nail in the coffin for the color pie?

…about Lessons in EDH

Per MTG Wiki:

“When learning you may reveal a Lesson card from outside the game and put it into your hand…Lesson cards are marked by the depiction of a scroll in the upper left corner.

If you want, you can also play a Lesson card in your deck, but in that circumstance it can’t be fetched by learning.”

Per Commander’s rules (Play rule #11): 

“Parts of abilities which bring other card(s) you own from outside the game into the game (such as Living Wish; Spawnsire of Ulamog; Karn, the Great Creator) do not function in Commander.”
