Friday Flashback – March 30
March 30, 2012
Posted by ANDY aka GHoooSTS
Uhhhhh… uuuuuuhhhhhhhhh… it’s Friday. That means linkin’ it up! Our bros all over the intertron have produced thingies, and these thingies can be inspected.
There’s more stuff to come though. Tomorrow, we’ll be seeing the winners of Season 5 Contest 2. There were… a LOT of entries, and evaluation was quite difficult when choosing from such a wide field. Fortunately my squadmades helped me out, so you’ll get to see who done winned as of tomorrow, with the winning cycle posted on the website. Donovan has courageously offered to post all of the entries, something I just can’t do. I don’t know when that will happen, but you can look forward to it at some point.
Do remember to check back on Sunday as well for a special bonus for all the real hardcore CommanderCast fans out there. It’s EPIC, trust me!
Finally, remember that Pax East approaches, and so does some wicked-sick CommanderCast Box Social action. We’ll be playing on Saturday in the morning in the free play area, and Saturday evening as well after the expo hall closes. I recommend following me on Twitter for the latest updates on what’s going on with that (things at the expo tend to be pretty dynamic, so they can change without much warning).
THE WEEK IN REVIEW
- Here at CommanderCast:
- I posted S5E12: Call-InFerno Mk. IV
- Our friend David has “Karador and the Batcave”, where he speaks on his experiences as a new player and deck evolution.
- Sean’s latest installment in Accumulated Knowledge, “The Puppet Master”, shows you how to take the truly awful Political Puppets deck and make it into something worth playing.
- Ruston has the final community contribution for the month with “Meathooks”, a look at how Slivers do their thing in the Commander world.
- Ooooh,the Command Zone was roductive this week. THREE updates!
- “Total F**king War”, an Agrus Kos, Wojek Veteran deck with a military theme.
- “Vish Kal’s Coup”, a deck introducted with some “cheesy fanfiction bullshit” (his words, not mine) that proceeds to lay down the B/W beats.
- “Clash of the Titans”, a look at the impact of the Titan cycle in Commander and how Grave Titan is the worst one!
- This week on CMDRDecks we take a look at Hugh’s tuned Hazezon Tamar token CMDR Deck! This deck not only abuses creature types but has lots of synergies and interactions with almost every card! How many ways can this deck take you from 40 to 0 in one turn? Take a look and see!
- General Damage Control: two-time two-time update. Here’s his updates, in his own words:
- “Monday Comes Too Damn Quickly At GDC”: I get grumpy and complain about land destruction, Gaddock Teeg, and Pumped Up Kicks by Foster The People…
- “Sharuum Community Project First Draft”: The long-awaited first rough draft of the Sharuum Community Project decklist. Which I then immediately pawn off on my readers for another round. Because I’m awesome like that.
- CaptainRedZone and Cassidy teamed up on TCGPlayer to make a Vish Kal deck in Cassidy’s latest Fat Stacks. Two of those in one week? …what the hell is going on here?
- Karston is up in here with the latest episode of The Other 99 on TopAndGoProductions, where he’s talking about Thraximundar:
