00:00 to 02:27: Intro: Andy, Byron, Carlos and our guest Levi say hello.
02:38 to 14:08: Free-For-All-Roundtable: Primeval Titan: We discuss Primeval Titan and it’s impact on the Commander format. Is this card a positive influence on the format?
14:19 to 32:05: Community: Power vs Flavour: Lots of people talk about how they like EDH because their decks can be flavourful and funny, but the best cards are often well-recognized and acknowledged widely. So how important is it to break away from the auto-includes? How much do you prioritize your personal flavour over objectively powerful cards?
32:22 to 52:39: Strategy: Holding Your Answers: Do you play a Wrath to kill one creature that isn’t attacking you? Guess what: that’s bad. But we talk about this a little more in depth than just that last tidbit. How long should you hold onto your ‘answer’ cards, and how heavily valued should they be? What role does brinkmanship play in Commander?
52:53 to 54:19: Technology: Break My Card: It’s our new thing on Twitter. STRICTLY for our followers there because before this our e-mail guys got all the love (and the contest). Here’s how it works:
- Once a week, I give you a single card. It can be anything.
- You let me know how to use it via Twitter. It has to be in one Tweet. You can use short versions, abbreviations, and acronyms, but if I can’t decipher them you’re busted. You can’t send a second tweet, e-mail, or telegraph to explain what you mean.
- You have to tell me what Commander will be in charge of the deck the card is used in. After that, you can say whatever; a combo? Some synergies? The type of deck it works in best? It’s up to you to do something awesome with the card.
This week’s card to break is PSYCHIC VORTEX.
