Hello everyone and welcome to CommanderCast Episode 445! This week Mark and Adam are getting nuts as then start preparing for the on coming season of Squirrel deck charging forward with Modern Horizons 2! With so much support in the form of new Legendary Squirrels, Lord cards that might get nutty, and enchantments this summer temperatures are going to be high outside and indoors as your blood rises from how many rodents can fit in your opponents decks! But first, we have an upcoming event we really need to talk about with you before tickets are all gone. If you have the time to make it out please support the community and enjoy this event coming in September. Then things get wrapped up with a look at a few of the cards from the new set we feel are going to have the biggest impact on the format when they’re released into the wild.
All that, plus our usual interstitial fodder, and all you have to do is Click the IB!!!
