It's an absolute honour this week to welcome Joshua Grant to the breakfast table to discuss the merger of BinderPOS and Channel Fireball including Josh's history with BinderPOS, plus the positive vision of placing power back in the hands of the people at the heart of the game, the LGS'. We also run through the future of events, including the idea of more representation for the Magic community on this side of the world, some wacky ideas for universes beyond crossovers (Microsoft's ever helpful Clippy?) and just generally nerd out with one of the coolest kiwi's imaginable about everything from Lord of the Rings, Queen and Captain Planet. It was a fantastic time, and we're super excited for what the future of the game with such a big player making moves with community in mind. We hope you enjoy!

Welcome back breakfast friendos! As Chesh departs this weekend on official trading card business, we fill the grinning Chesh-sized void with an extra special guest to share some hearty conversations with, it's none other the CMDR Central's Max Crandell! Max joins us to challenge the great trophy of longest guest feature (previously held by Jeff from MTG Lexicon), and absolutely delivers. We start with discussions on Wizards' latest announcements on Universes Beyond, including the ramifications of the Warhammer 40k and Lord of the Rings IPs being added to the game we all love, plus also muse over IPs we personally would love to see as Magic cards. We also run through Max's personal EDH philosophies as a 'tinkerer' rather than a brewer, the concept of Magic burnout and experiences of how to manage, the origin story of CMDR Central plus lessons learned over close to 250 episodes, and an incredible story about perhaps the greatest gift a magic player could ever receive (Thanks to Tim Rayburn & Ryan Peneff!) to punctuate how incredible the Magic community can be. It's a wild ride, join us as we hit the road.

Greetings friends! This week we tackle two meaty topics with more in common than you may think... Firstly we run through the first Strixhaven offerings to be revealed this week, including the discussing the flavour of the set, what the school houses are leading on for relatability, and why Chesh feels particularly problematic with some of the trope-driven depictions of some of the school houses. On a big positive, we also run through the stunning new showcase and japanese exclusive card treatments (big thumbs up), before linking to the big topic; Mental health and how it connects with us and Magic. We discuss normalising mental help conversations, how connection through Magic has been a huge support network, and our experiences. As mentioned in the episode, we absolutely need to reinforce that if anyone needs help whatsover to contact your relevant hotline: Lifeline if you're in Australia on 13 11 14 Suicide hotlines in US: 1800 273 8255 and Canada: 1833 456 4566 Trans lifeline in US and Canada - 1877 330 6366 Remember, someone is always listening, and you matter.

Thanks for joining us at the breakfast table friends! This week we enlisted the brilliant mind of the always charming Peter aka MonoWhiteBorder to discuss building not only in mono white, but also generally to optimise enjoyment and originality. We run through the ever present topic of what exactly constitutes enjoyment for everyone at a commnder table, some discoveries from Peter's deep dives into the workings of mono white, plus even some Skeleton Ship appreciation! All that plus we cover those important ancillery influences with our guest, with chats involving competitive Mario Party, shoegaze, Morrowind and a heap of NBA discussion.

Greetings friends! We're taking a little intermission between guest features this week to spend some time chatting about the social contract, and showing consideration in Commander. Inspired by our previous guests the Scrap Trawlers recently, some discussions started around how do we all show kindness in commander, which led to our run through on this episode touching on our perspectives on navigating the social contract in commander, including a little about Rule Zero (we could easily do many more episodes on just that topic), and having healthy discussions to establish expectations in commander games. We run through some ways to make that discussion easier whilst establishing power levels, plus dissecting the difference between power in cards and intent of the player. We manage to cover some lofty topics, but look to continue discovering a range of perspectives on these matters as we continue our guest profiles ahead. Enjoy!

Welcome back friends! We're joined at the breakfast table this week by the brilliant Andy & Nick from Scrap Trawlers, an edh stream featuring budget deck challenges built around themes, and featuring regular guests from the commmander community. Andy & Nick have been fantastic advocates in the community for positive and creative commander play, using challenges to discover interesting cards and dynamics in the game, whilst promoting the idea that the game shouldn't be cost prohibitive for everyone to play. We hang out and chat through some great tales from the first few months of Scrap Trawlers, including interesting discoveries, bad beats, and somewhere in there we get in some solid theme park chat, with Nick admitting he was once a certified wizard at a Six Flags park.

Good morning breakfast lords, its been a hot minute! We're joined this week by the great Thirteen of Riptide Project Laboratory to get stuck right in to the proverbial elephant in the Magic room, The Walking Dead Secret lair. We offer some thoughts and objective point of views and potential ramifications, before moving into some broader chats about content creation, mental health, what Magic means to us, and the greatest card type created, the almighty Equipment!

Greetings Cereal Cephalids! We've got a nice dainty episode between community guests this week, where Chesh and Sam run through some of their thoughts, experiences and considerations for deckbuilding with webcam/SpellTable play in mind. We run through some card types that may best not to include, as well as some that may work better than expected - and as a general rule, communication is key, and a healthy integral part of commander play. Rounding out this concept is a look a nice new thematic Haldan and Pako brew deck tech from Chesh. Enjoy! Chesh's first take on the Haldan & Pako brew can be found at: https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/pako-good-boy-1/ Infiniti tokens, an excellent solution for some of the deckbuilding issues discussed, can be found at: https://www.infinitokens.com/ Send us feedback, questions, pictures of Cephalids to cmdrcrunchpodcast@gmail.com, we'd love to hear from you.

We're joined at the breakfast table today by the great Brandon Crane aka Booster Tutor - limited enthusiast, creator of great unboxing videos, commander player, and most importantly known for his content scouring online listings and flea markets for hidden gems of forgotten magic card collections. We venture through some epic tales of magic card discovery in the wild, Brandon's origins of magic, thoughts on the state of the game in 2020 and of course our usual barrage of nonsense questions we love to put our guests on the spot to try and answer – because it yields such great conversations about unexpected things like Dune, David Bowie and why you should play Mana Tithe.

Welcome to Zendikar Breakfast Lords! Thanks to the Zendikar Rising Preview Show this past week, we were inundated with so much magic news about Zendikar Rising, and the year of magic ahead, that we couldn't quite process all thats going on. We run through all of the announcements of upcoming specs and speculation on what we may see (fetch lands hmmmm?), then bring it closer to the present for a run through of everything released so far about our foray back to the beloved jungle wonderland of Zendikar, including set boosters, expedition lands, and a bunch of hot picks for favorite edh playables we've got our eyes on.

We're joined at the breakfast table this week by an extremely special guest this week, Commander afficiando, hero of the people, crafter of the very cards and sets we love, and receiver of more “print this card” requests than perhaps anyone else. It is of course Gavin Verhey, Senior Designer and Writer at Wizards of the Coast, and he joins us to talk all things Commander culture in 2020 and the future, the exciting synthesis of draft and commander in the upcoming set Commander Legends, and our usual enlightening profile deep dive to discover Gavin's influences, and generally nerd out about music, video games and film - not to mention some fairly important advice about mangos...

Greetings commander jank lords! This week we're opening up a discussion about a theme of positive table interaction in commander. A couple epsiodes back JR from SpellTable brought up the idea of playing cards that result in some table chatter, which got us thinking about what it is that really helps make a commander game enjoyable and positive for eveyrone, and the heart of it is interaction. In the spirit of promoting the best sides of the game we love, we take a look at some specific cards that embody the spirit of positive table interaction, and provoking a conversation, whilst remaining effective to your game plan - that is to say not having to fall into the extremes of chaos, or group hug. We've opened this up as an open ended theme to continue to explore and discuss, and hope you consider some of the ways you get your table involved in your next commander game (whilst still aiming to win!).

Welcome back Commander Addicts! This week we resist the urge to have yet another guest, and instead learn to talk among outselves about the latest juicy commander release this year, the Ikoria themed Commander 2020 precons. Thanks to Wizards of the Coast, Chesh received one of each of the decks from mothership to produce a series of sponsored videos showing an upgrade path for each of the precons. We run through Chesh's thought processes for each of the deck upgrades, outlining key deck building considerations, interesting discoveries, fun gameplay stories, and the regular serving of wacky tangents and spinoffs you've grown to expect from us. Enjoy!
