Welcome to another episode of The CMC Game! Marketing Ross and SD Sharpie are your game hosts! We’ll invite a Commander contestant to join us as we look through the decklist and talk about our favorite cards in each mana value slot. Today’s game comes to us with a TWIST, in that the deck chosen was built by one of our very own Collective members, LobsterKing! The contestant LobsterKing volunteered as tribute is Myrel, Shield of Argive. Myrel isn’t a lonely gal, she always brings plenty of little soldiers along to the party with her, but she can be a bit of a control freak. She doesn’t like anyone else to cast spells or use abilities on her turn, and she’ll use that to her advantage as she floods her opponents with aggression! High quality proxies and playtest cards!
