Hello everyone and welcome to CommanderCast Episode 448! This week Mark and Adam are going full 80’s as they guys go deep into the Dungeons in hopes of finding the best cards and maybe fight some Dragons. The guys are going to go over all the new Legendary creatures, a look at a few old school nods to D&D in cards, and then a look at the new Class cards. How do they work and do they have a place in Commander? Week today we’ll find out and hear from the guys about how they feel this will shack out.

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