Hello everyone and welcome to Commandercast Episode 186! We’re your weekly source for Community, Strategy, and Technology, hosted on MTGcast.com and our homesite: Commandercast.com! This week William, Mark, and Clay are joined by Cassidy from General Damage Control as they discuss the Big Bad Wolves of EDH! The lines get a little blurred as the gang discusses Commanders, decks, and overall groan cards that  may lead to a stabbing in the parking lot after a night of EDH! We even try to see if any of these repeat offenders have a shot at being redeemable and ways to try and play them that don’t end in random acts of violence.

All this and more await with the click of an IB!
