This week all kinds of awesome stuff happened, including me spending one 24-hour span with the following breakdown of time usage:
- Sleep: 3 hours
- Tribes Ascend: 13 hours
- Driving: 2 hours
- Magic: 6 hours (with various beasts and legends)
Awesomely juvenile weekend or crime against humanity? WE REPORT YOU DECIDE
Here’s some other stuff, all three of which you should investigate:
THE WEEK IN REVIEW
- Here at CommanderCast:
- I posted S5E7: Q&A&D (the ‘D’ is for ‘discussion’)
- Oh shit Max went in hard this week with a two-parter for Peasant Rebellion. It’s Keeping It Casual with Karador Dredge, Part One and Two!
- I got into the YouTube game after a long absence with “An Introduction To Horde Magic”
- Commander decks are always changing, new cards come out or new tech is discovered. Check out Andrew’s updated Glissa, the Traitor deck this week on CMDRDecks! This milling monstrosity is rebuilt and ready to take on all comers. So follow along with the evolution and click here for Andrew’s previous Glissa deck.
- Dominik from Completely Casual is up in here with a new take on Commander: “Embracing the Schadenfreude”. While it might sound like a hardcore porno, it’s actually a very cool article about adopting some ‘griefing’ tactics in ‘normal’ EDH decks. Check it out!
- General Damage Control doubles up yet again this week:
- Off Colour Cast drops Episode 8: Enemy Review where they discuss the enemy coloured legends from the Commander expansion, card alters, and… other stuff. These guys will be on CommanderCast next week, watch for it!
- It’s been a while, but Owen’s still doin’ his thug thizzle on The Crazy 99. His latest update is “Grafdigger’s Cage: Metagaming Made Easy”
- Coda from One General To Rule Them All is rolling with what may be the lowest curve of all time in Commander with “One Drop EDH”, a deck composed exclusively of CMC 1 spells!
- In a brawl for various heavyweight titles, it’s Goblins vs Wizards on MistVeilPlains’ YouTube channel! Hey Azami you still a bitch… GO GOBLINS
The last thing of the week is an extra-swag special treat from my man Rick, aka PolishTamales (follow this guy on Twitter)! After sending me a VERY pleasant e-mail he warned me that something of a gift was on the way to my inbox. While I initially feared some new kind of digital mailbomb, I got… well, I guess it’s a bomb of sorts. If you’ve been listening to CommanderCast for a while, you no doubt are familiar with my endless love for Braids, Conjurer Adept (we even did a sweet Entourage on her with S4E6: Blue Braids Will Drink Your Tears). Well, if this fuckin’ sweet joint Rick did up is to believed, the picture of her on the card was in a dark corner of Tolaria West while she was up for twenty hours cramming for finals, because here’s what she looks like in… uh.. proper lighting.
Have a great weekend you dirty cardboard-slinging fiends!
