CommanderCast S12E5 [143]- Orzhov Snow Storm
February 10, 2014
Posted by William & Calvin
Hey there Commandercast staples! Let me get this out of the way: I love snow, but getting stuck in it sucks. The cold sucks. Being in the middle west when the temperature is topping out at 10 degrees Fahrenheit sucks. You know what doesn’t suck? Grabbing a hot cup of tea and podcasting with my staff members Nole and Brian while we talk about Orzhov!
All this life drain is making me feel tired and lifeless I’ll admit, but I love Orzhov. They’ve got a few different archetypes that we’ll talk about, as well as a “quick” spotlight on some of our favorite Orzhov cards.
Now is it just me, or do I hear something in the background now that I’m listening to this episode again?
Shownotes after the Ib!

Ghost Segment: Extort and Haunt
Exactly what it says on the tin
Haunt – Death triggers…kind of?
Extort – Great multiplayer mechanic
Community: “Each Opponent” vs. “Target Opponent”
Lately, Wizards has shown a tendency to make mechanics/cards that skew towards multiplayer with “everyone else gets something bad” effects, which was most prominent with Orzhov’s Extort.
Ex) Which is worse? Yosei or Kokusho?
Strategy: Orzhov: Bleed or Reanimate or tokens or control? Pick your poison.
Orzhov has two primary strategies from what I know: Bleed and Reanimate. What are its strengths and weaknesses when running one or the other?
Bleed – White for the setup (life gain) with Black for the buy in (cannibalizing life)
requirements: Defensive cards,
3 things to know
1) Patience
2) You don’t always have to be in the lead
3) Threat assessment and Politics
Reanimation – Reusing guys over and over again with no rest for the dead
Requirements: Sac outlets, the right reanimation effects
3 things to know
1) Resource Management
2) Not Overextending
3) Mileage
B/W Tokens – Using the weenie rush

This was hard to listen to.
Yeah, I literally couldn’t hear what Brian was saying. I get that this is a casual podcast, but the sound quality needs to improve.
Are we saving the devotion episode for later or were there some issues with the recording?
It was going to be this week, but with the way the weeks are setup this season it got pushed to next week.
It makes sense to have slotted this one in front of it since you addressed primordial and a newly spoiled card. No problems though.
Also, I have to assume that 90% of the time the angel will be a wrath because inevitably, one person has the most board presence and while there might be a second person with an ok board position, half or more of the table should always be wanting a wrath in a 4 player FFA game.
When it comes to rez, there is always going to be a single person with the best rez target and unless that person can diplomatically talk others into a reason to let him rez that card, I dont see the rez option being the one that will be chosen most of the time.
The more cut throat the group the less play the angel will get. Or so I believe.
This really is truly legitimate stage as heightened within the website. Recognize discussing roughly.
Great post, I think blog owners should acquire so much from this web blog its really user friendly .
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
Well… round about every blog posts online don’t have much originality as I found on yours.. Just keep updating much useful information so that reader like me would come back over and over again.
