We’re your weekly source for Community, Strategy, and Technology, hosted on MTGcast.com and our homesite: Commandercast.com! We’re recording this on December 4th, 2014. This week William, Calvin, Mark, and Clay are joined by Cassidy from TGPlayer.com! The guys discuss the idea of playing 1v1 or French Commander as it’s better known as. We go over why you may want to play 1v1, the key differences between two formats, and cards you may or may not want to think about when playing!

Also William is drunk. Very drunk in fact.
