Starter Deck for Nezahal, Primal Tide

Despite talking through commander reputations, deck rankings, and lightning rods in the zone on previous episodes, Kyle still has a commander who notoriously gets him focused on. He sits down with Andy to hash out why he thinks that is rightfully happening and they suss out how some commanders are lending to a management philosophy of direct focus because of what some contemporarily designed commanders are designed to do.

The drill here is for our listeners to provide their lists for commanders who have under just 500 decks being referenced on EDHREC for data for that commander. In an era where Atraxa and the other top commander are rocking tens of thousands of lists, you truly are drinking that hipster moose juice when your commander isn’t cracking 500 lists. So let’s see what the listeners are doing to stay unique. As always, find deck lists and card lists from the podcast on the Discord server’s #lists-from-the-pod channel.

Our relationship with the Magic: the Gathering product ebbs and flows and we’re all prone to patterns that place on the path of fatigue or the precipice of drifting away from the game. So how do we find a happy middle ground?

We all have an understanding that commanders can serve different roles for a deck, whether as a strategy or providing benefit for implementing a strategy. But Andy proposes that we give some attention to the idea that some commanders can get us started, but can then be abandoned as the strategy gets going. Andy shares a variety of decks that exemplify this idea of a commander that can provide resources to get rolling, but that don’t need to be present for success.

We've got a guest joining us today in Joey of EDHRECast. Joey joins to get deep with us as we talk about commanders who tend to earn the ire of opponents before the game even starts. We get into the various ways a commander may call for attention despite the game actions playing out in front of us and how many of those commanders may fit better into the 99 of some decks.
