Hello everyone and welcome to Commandercast Episode 173! We’re your weekly source for Community, Strategy, and Technology, hosted on MTGcast.com and our homesite: Commandercast.com!  This week William , Calvin, Mark, and Clay are joined by Shoe from WOOBERG.net as they talk about Commander 2014 Previews!

But first, we dip our toes into the Challenge decks from Theros block. We discuss the idea of turning them into 100 card decks and using them as a playtester deck to help you with your deck designs. Then we turn to talking about all of the remaining Legendary creatures and Planeswalkers from the Commander 2014 product. Later we talk about the other cards that have been revealed that we each like.

all of this and more awaits with just the click of the IB!
