    It's time for the glorious return of Fringe Commanders! In these episodes, Chris and Tim hit random on EDHREC until they find a commander with less than 150 decks. From there, they talk about them, give their opinions, and decide if this card is worth running as a commander, in the 99, or not at all. I'm sure as you can all figure out, they pull up some stinkers sometimes.
