It’s more of Commander’s realest talk as Andy is back on deck with his elite squad of conversational killers! Carlos, Imshan and Max round out this episode’s panel, making it a very writer-y episode (obviously I am not a writer, I make up DEM WORDZ). But we form like Voltron to produce an episode where we explore that divide between competition, fun and the howling abyss between them. Buzzkill cards, threat assessment, and Reliquary Tower are all debated in this episode.
Mike Lanigan brews up a flippin’ werewolftastic Standard build. Looking for something more fun than Spike to bring to FNM tonight? Grab your checklist cards and Gutshots and check out this build!

In another bout of loud internet talkin’, CommanderCast is flooded with guest hosts this week. Cassidy Silver, Chris Lansdell, and Omar Hernandez step into Andy’s wheelhouse and deliver another episode of EDH’s realest talk. Discussed this week: alternative Commander rules, Akido decks, a Shimatsu entourage, and more!
In the last segment of his artifact extravaganza, Carlos is looking at Dark Ascension and Kataki, War’s Wage. This guy has typically been considered unplayable for Commander; but when you build around his effect, he can be pretty nasty.
