Podcasts about cryptic command

Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle is a very powerful card.  So powerful, in fact, that it was on the initial ban list for Modern.  Why was it so feared as to be on the same list as Hypergenesis, Skullclamp, Umezawa's Jitte, and Golgari Grave-Troll?  The answer is Scapeshift.  When you combine the two cards, it creates a very consistent win condition.  But how to tie the deck together, that is the question.  Easy, Cryptic Command!

This was a very special week for the Modern format! Not only did the first big tournament since the pandemic took place and we got to finally see players shuffle cards live on Twitch, but also we got loads of information and sweet (and very, very unexpected!) decks that put up results this past week! Buckle up and settle in, cause it's time for the boys to BABBLE! Fran: http://twitch.tv/fpawlusz Evan: http://twitch.tv/evaros Gabe: http://twitch.tv/spiderspace

Define: Lands that have an effect other than generating mana. We love these cards because they can act like spells, and can add power to your deck without taking up a spell slot. Caution: You should use these sparingly, as they often come with downsides, like coming into play tapped, or only adding colorless mana. Some Utility Lands, such as Maze of Ith, or Glacial Chasm, don’t add mana. When I build a deck I tend not to include these in my land slots (I think of them as zero cost permanent that makes me skip my land drop for the turn) 0 colors: ALL the Utility Lands!!!! 1 color: 8ish 2 color: 6ish 3 color: 4ish 4&5 color: 3ish Obviously this changes depending on how early you need certain colors of mana, or how color cost intensive your cards are (Cryptic Command, etc) You can run more of these the more solid the rest of your land base is (fetches, shocks, duals, oh my. But mention some good budget options here. Ravnica bounce lands, 5 color lands, Evolving wilds etc Also, the more colors your deck is, the less of these you can afford to run. A rule of thumb (and by no means perfect): Zero Utility Lands in the EDHRec top 100 for the past week, 2 weeks, or year. 31 - Reliquary Tower 40 - Bojuka Bog 79 - Kessig Wolf Run 83 -  Rogue's Passage 95 -  Alchemist's Refuge The following cards are the Utility Lands on the top 100 Lands for the last two years: Utility lands on EDHRec Top 100 Maybe your commander is super important to your strategy, and your meta is counterspell heavy: Cavern of souls.  Maybe you need a certain spell to resolve: Boseiju Sometimes you want to recur some junk: Hall of Heliod’s Generosity / Academy Ruins Maybe you want to destroy your opponent’s oppressive land: Strip Mine / Wasteland / Ghost Protocol You can use these kinds of lands to shore up a deck’s weakness: Expedition map Trinket Mage Sylvan scrying Weathered Wayfarer Any all purpose tutor How to find these lands Hall of Heliod's Generosity Karn's Bastion Cavern of Souls / Boseiju, Who Shelters All Kjeldoran Outpost Tolaria west Kor Haven Winding Canyons Dark Depths / Arixmethes / Creeping Tar Pit / Mutavault / Inkmoth Nexus Thespian Stage Vesuva Academy Ruins Emergence Zone Inventor's Fair Strip Mine / Wasteland / Ghost Quarter Hall of the Bandit Lord Scavenger Grounds Prahv, Spires of Order Kher Keep Some of our favorites Utility lands rock and if you aren’t using them #GetItInYourDeck Summary Main Topic - Utility Lands Commander Social Intro and Outro ThemeRaindrop by Declan DP https://soundcloud.com/declandp Licensing Agreement 2.0 http://www.declandp.info/music-licensing Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/LbIb9_5_qNE Contact Info Consider becoming a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/commandersocial You can check us out at commandersocial.com YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/CommanderSocial You can email us directly at cast@commandersocial.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/commandersocial On twitter @commandersocial twitch.tv/greenegeek Ryan individually @greenegeek Zack individually @z4ck38 © Copyright 2019 Leaky Dinghy, LLC

Robert Vroman’s been out of the game for a while, but his Vintage innovation carved out a place for him in Magic’s history. Inventor of the Uba-Stax deck, he crushed tournaments around the midwest, all the while using Magic as a tool for education. Now, he’s onto bigger things, unleashinghis MtG skills on the real estate market and turning to political action after a particularly horrifying experience. We met in his hometown of St. Louis to talk about all this and more.   The missing decklist is:3 Cryptic Command 4 Snapcaster Mage 1 Vendilion Clique 4 Lightning Bolt 4 Mana Leak 2 Remand 3 Lightning Helix 4 Path to Exile 1 Spell Snare 2 Ajani Vengant (promo) 2 Sphinx’s Revelation 1 Anger of the Gods (donated by Elliott Risch, thank you!) 4 Celestial Colonnade 3 Arid Mesa 4 Scalding Tarn 2 Hallowed Fountain 3 Steam Vents 1 Sacred Foundry (donated by Ryan Hopkins, thank you!) 1 Plains 3 Island Sideboard: 2 Porphury Nodes 1 Anger of the Gods (donated by Elliott Risch, thank you!) 1 Celestial Purge 1 Crucible of Worlds 1 Threads of Disloyalty 2 Relic of Progenitus 1 Rule of Law   Thank you for your help!
