Kyle continues the spirit of Andy's episode by exploring the alternatives for cards that tend to get removed. Though the ceiling may be lower, do we always need to include the flashiest permanents in our EDH decks—only to see them become removal magnets? With card examples provided by Patreon supporters and Kyle, the boys explore strategic swaps for commander decks that may save you some aggravation and money.

What if building a commander deck was more like a risk management assessment? In this episode, Andy ciphers corporate principals of risk management onto the experience of looking at our EDH decks and contemplating how we approach new deck brews. Joined by Kyle, the two explore how deckbuilding decisions like over-reliance on the commander reliance, mana composition, strategy complexity, and more all carry inherent risks.

It's artifacts, you fools! Well over 6 hours of artifacts. As much as one could talk about a card type from tokens, aggro, zone changes, equipment, vehicles and beyond.

As Andy thinks about recent fixations in the playgroup, he takes note of the magnetism of kindred decks and what unique card themes arise with typal decks. Andy brings Kyle into a discussion of how kindred decks can invite a refined eye to tinker and find the ideal and most balanced cards to extract the most out of kindred deck experiences.

We hope you've got time this weekend. Kyle and Andy set up their longest analogy ever to help Kyle describe how we can understand legends as more than a binary question of whether or not we should be adopting it for the command zone. Kyle then tries to apply the theory to whether or not The Mindskinner fits on his roster.

Sometimes radical change is the way to keep your hobbies fresh. Whispers in the community of people making wholesale changes to their roster of commander decks turned into our church committing to a mass change to our own roster of commanders.

Andy reviews the core concept of the deck and sets up a starter deck for anyone looking to take advantage of this game shifting sorcery. Join us as Andy outlines how he's using Vohar, Vodalian Desecrator to get started with a deck that leverages zone changes with Danse Macabre as the star.

Some decks have obvious play lines that are potent and to the point, others illicit an obsession, one might even say a cult-like one. Andy takes us into the depths of the Cult of Athreos as he outlines what got him interested in a more nuanced line of play with this Therosian god, which goes well beyond the conventional Shadowborn Apostle + demons lists.

In light of the recent developments with the ban list and the subsequent fallout, Andy and Kyle reflect on how their group seems to have been insulated from the big feelings rippling through the broader community. They outline how a deeper playgroup mission that centers on experience and respect almost gives the group an intuition to avoid the most contested parts of the format. Andy outlines with Kyle a variety of tenets that the group tries to respect and they share their stories and success and failure with those tenets, in this classic LCP episode that waxes philosophical along the way.

Andy takes on the golden mean discussion as it relates to selecting the cards that we use in commander. With an eternal format, the card options available to commander players are vast. Yet as new cards tempt with a sense of contemporary power, the question still begs: what cards are truly sufficient for your aims as a casual commander player.

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.

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.

It's been a long time since we've done our meta gaming series where we talked about methods to contain common elements of the game you can regularly expect opponents to abuse. But it's time for an addition to the series as treasure tokens have proven to be a leyline getting weaved throughout the game.

There are cards in this game that are obviously powerful. There are cards that elicit a strong reaction. But there are also those cards that alter behavior at a table just based on their sheer gravitational pull to adapt to the presence of that card.
