Hello everyone and welcome to CommanderCast Episode 484! This week Mark and Adam have a few topics they want to touch on. First we take a moment to talk about Commander Sealed 2022! This is a Commander based tournament held in New York benefiting The Trevor Project! Please take a moment to show support. We then take a quick look at a decklist by Dean’s Ognis (now Saskia) Ball Lightning deck. We wrap things up with a quick look at a way to deal with ETBs (Enter the Battlefield) that you may need to help deal with some decks/cards you usually aren’t prepared for.

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

• Angelo Guerrera of EDHREC took home the win with his Damia Sage of Stone deck.
• Commander Sealed 2021, which pulled in 64 players from as far away as Seattle, raised just over $4,500 for TTP.
