Hello everyone and welcome to Commandercast Episode 166! We’re your weekly source for Community, Strategy, and Technology, hosted on MTGcast.com and our homesite: Commandercast.com! This week William is joined by Clay, JT Kamp, Mark, and after a week off, Calvin!

We talk more about Khans of Tarkir! We discuss the flavor and reasons behind the wedges. We talk about the last of the five Clan leader, Surrak Dragonclaw! Which is kind of a weird name since he claerly is wearing bear claws but whatever. We then wrap the show up with a few other cards from the spoilers! All this plus a ton of end-show bonus content and all you have to do is click the IB!
