Value (We’re gonna discuss a lot of this below, but let's try and mention the others on this list as well) Disclaimer: The MtG market is in a bit of chaos, things seem way more expensive than they ever have been. (Overmaster is $40!). We certainly aren’t finance experts but both of us follow the Secondary Market pretty regularly. Cool Cards (We talked about this in our previous episode, but it’s still one of the most important pieces to the pre-cons long term) Fun to Play Balanced to play against each other Good enough to hang with your meta’s constructed decks There are lots of ways to evaluate Precons. C21 - Focused on Each College Identity Whole deck, singles price in () Lorehold Legacies - $38.48 (Singles - 102.80) Prismari Performance - $39.25 (Singles - 71.66) Quantum Quandrix - $38.06 (Singles - 86.83) Silverquill Statement - $37.83 (Singles - 83.31) Witherbloom Witchcraft - $37.71 (Singles - 68.48) Bundle of all 5 - $189.04 (Mothership has this for $179.99) I’m gonna do the values of singles in the deck based on mtggoldfish, I did look on ebay, and most of the decks were costing about the same as the cost of the singles, with maybe a slight discount. https://www.mtggoldfish.com/articles/commander-2017-decklists Feline Ferocity - $269.93 Vampiric Bloodlust  - $257.06 Draconic Domination - $255.23 Arcane Wizardry - $149.86 C17 - Tribal Theme https://www.mtggoldfish.com/articles/commander-2018-decklists Exquisite Invention - $110.94 Subjective Reality - $90.64 Nature's Vengeance - $120.56 Adaptive Enchantment - $91.01 C18 - Planeswalker Commanders https://www.mtggoldfish.com/articles/weekly-update-aug-11-commander-2019-decklists Faceless Menace - $66.20 Mystic Intellect - $91.57 Primal Genesis - $67.86 Merciless Rage - $46.07 C19 - Each deck focused on a mechanic (Morph, Flashback, Populate, Madness) https://www.mtggoldfish.com/articles/full-commander-2020-decklists Enhanced Evolution - $66.25 Symbiotic Swarm - $45.86 Timeless Wisdom - $87.87 Arcane Maelstrom - $83.67 Ruthless Regiment - $63.41 C20 - Mechanics (Mutate, Cycling, Copy Spells, Token Creatures Buying individual Decks Top 5 Most Expensive Cards from Precons C17 - C21 C17 -  - $217.01 Edgar Markov 60.08 All time low $2.39 Spent an entire year < $5 All-time low $12.29 Spent 3 months < $20 Teferi's Protection 44.13 All-time low $2.99 Spent a year < $10 Kindred Discovery 40.7 All-time low $3.23 Spent a year < $6 The Ur-Dragon 39.65 All-time low $1.49 Spent a year < $7 Kindred Dominance 32.45 Nesting Dragon 17.42 Retrofitter Foundry 16.41 Treasure Nabber 14.28 Xantcha, Sleeper Agent 13.87 Sower of Discord 11.9 C18 - $73.88 Dockside Extortionist 48.22 All-time low - $13.28 Quickly went to $20, and after 8 months just kept going up Ohran Frostfang 17.92 K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth 5.1 Sevinne's Reclamation 4.36 Apex Altisaur 3.18 C19 - $78.78 Fierce Guardianship 34.43 All-time low - $29.97 All-time high - $80.24, relatively flat aside from that early spike, that lasted roughly a month All-time low - $14.78 Stayed under $20 for 7 months, and then spiked Deflecting Swat 30.1 Deadly Rollick 15.58 Flawless Maneuver 8.3 Ethereal Forager 4.07 C20 - $92.48 Archaeomancer's Map 19.63 Veyran, Voice of Duality 16.96 Adrix and Nev, Twincasters 13.8 Monologue Tax 13.25 Esix, Fractal Bloom 8.61 C21 - $59.00 For all of the individual cards it might be fun to look at the price graphs on https://www.mtgstocks.com/ (I looked at all the graphs for cards currently valued at $30 or more) Summary - What has been your favorite set of Precon Decks?

How did you become known as Mr. Infect? What was the very first Commander deck you ever made? What is your favorite deck to date? Also, is it blinged out? What kind of bling do you like most foil/old border/beta/etc? The time you built decks for everyone. Can you tell us any stories about this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4t_tpwggl74 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3olyqHMah9Q The Love Actually parody. This legitimately cracked me up!  What’s it like to work on GameKnights and the Command Zone podcast? There’s been a couple of fun moments with you on GameNights What do you want to say to the folks out there that think Infect Damage should be increased above 10? What is your process for building an infect deck? Joshua Swope asks: “What is a fun way you've forced infect in a non-infect deck?” Scraignoth asks: “You've made a name for yourself playing a mechanic which a number of people felt was unfair or should be banned. What advice do you have for players who are going through similar "community" pressures to change how they play?” Questions from Patrons I think we have to talk about infect Do you often start with a Commander and go from there? Do you start with an idea and then find a Commander? Do preview cards get your brewing juices flowing? Sometimes I get inspired by watching some content, and think, that would be a really cool deck to build. Does this happen to you? Let’s talk about your deck building process in general How many/which decks have you brewed during quarantine? How often are you playing these days? How has Magic been for you during the pandemic?

Her podcast The Commander’s Sphere is both hilarious and poignant regarding EDH and the community.  You may have also seen her appear twice on GameKnights, the first time winning with a Boros deck! How did you get into the game? MtG Origin Story What prompted you to get into content creation? How did you and Dan come up with the idea for The Commander’s Sphere? MtG Content Creator Origin Story Does your MtG persona affect your comedy? How is your career as a comedian going? Were you totally proud to be the first ever winner with a Boros deck What was filming like? How was being on GameKnights (twice!)? What do you feel like your personal mission is now that you’re a part of the CAG? Has it changed from what it was before How did you come to be on the CAG? All of your playmats on inked gaming are awesome! What kind of stuff do they have you working on? Working for CFB Your Graphic Design is awesome If so how did it compare to regular EDH. Have you ever played or considered playing cEDH?  For as long as I’ve known you, it seems like you always play decks that are not always what people expect.

I made the decision not to record them, not sure if it was the correct one, but it’s what I went with. I also didn’t record any 2 player games This has been a rough year for everyone, and I know a lot of folks might not have kept up with recording their games, just because it was just too much, and I’m sure many of our listeners out there just plain didn’t get to play very much magic this year. I know Ryan Peneff has internet consistency troubles, and that just made playing for him (at least much of the year) not very feasible. All that is to say, I hope that going over my stats for the year can maybe help folks at home live vicariously I compiled the data into a spreadsheet (huge shoutout to @dpkrausejr !) This was actually kinda fun, as it let me re-live some of the cool moments of the year.  I recorded all the games on my phone, and then pretty much took 3-4 days to transfer them over in the last week. Try recording your games in 2021, it can be a bit of an inconvenience, but it does give you something to do while you’re waiting for your turn to come back around :) Recording your own games How many total games do you think I played? Have to do this one first, because the savvy math peeps at home will be able to deduce this by the answers to the following questions How many games do you think were in person vs on webcam? How many different places do you think I played at? Location, Location, Location How many different decks do you think I played? Decks and how many times I played them Including deck win percentages Deck Diversity How many different opponents? Who did I play with the most? (besides Zack) How many games did I play with Zack? Who has the best win percentage against me? Opponents Which did I play against the most? And how many times? Go over chart in detail Commanders played against Games played over time (chart) Number of players per game 3,4,5,6 Percentage that the player that went first won? (again, thanks for including this Dan!) My overall win percentage? Other stats This was such a crazy and DIFFERENT year for playing Commander. Want to give a huge shoutout to Jon Rowny and Adam Christ, as I really think SpellTable made Commander as good as it could possibly be this year. Stats as compared to last year MF Austin, and being Guests of Channel Fireball GP Zack’s House Remembering that final in person game with Amelia and her boyfriend Thomas (Weird to think that was the last time I was inside our LGS on 3/5/2020) Playing on stream with the creators of SpellTable Maybe I show my notes for this game, and we see how much Zack remembers it?

What do we like least about creating content? Each of us talk about why Ryan - It started as a way to kind of keep a record for my kids (hence the #MtGDad moments every episode). Also, Magic is something I’m very passionate about. Why do we each create content? How much time do we each spend on the content we create each week? PJ Zack - 2ish recording, 2ish editing (4-6 when it’s video), unknown on twitter, various amounts of time for graphic design, various amounts mailing things. 1-hour planning episode with Ryan, 1 hour if writing show notes Ryan - 2ish hours on the night we record, 1 hour planning the show (more if it involves building a deck). 1 hour proofing the show each week. 1 hour uploading the show. There are lots of other various time things as well. Creating content takes time The Magic community is pretty friggin awesome When you create content consistently with another person, you really develop a special bond You get to know a lot of really awesome people, both other content creators, and your listeners/viewers It’s really cool the first time you meet, or interact with someone who you’ve helped make their life better (even if it’s just in some small way) You get to learn...like a LOT. I’ve always been a lifelong learner, and there’s pretty much no end to the stuff you can learn. Audio, video, lighting, web design, how to use social media, technology, woodworking, you name it. What makes creating content worth it? Find a co-host(s) you have chemistry with, who you can trust, who are committed (unless of course you’re doing a 1-person show) Figure out the name. Seriously, take a LOT of time with this. We were almost “Commander Onramp”.(no we weren’t -z) Register the domain, look to see if there is anything else out there, past or present with the same/similar name Get accounts on all of the social media sites, Twitter, Instagram, Gmail account, patreon, Youtube, the sky is the limit here. Also, keep current with new social media things as they come about, and register those accounts. Figure out a schedule you can commit to and BE CONSISTENT we used LogoOrbit, and it can be pretty costly. There are cheaper alternatives out there, fiver, etc etc We placed our initial order for about $150 on April 29th, 2019. We Finished up with them on June 14th, and we must have gone back and forth like 50 times. We think it was worth the time and effort We were willing to spend the time and money on getting a good logo, because this wasn’t our first podcast and we knew we were going to be in it for the long haul. You can always rebrand later, but you definitely want a logo before you ever publish your first episode Get a logo Make your content available EVERYWHERE. We use libsyn to do this. PJ - Anything especially important with YouTube? It will take TIME before you get a regular set of listeners/viewers. Like even more time than you think (probably, I’m sure there are other stories out there about someone becoming an overnight success). Be patient, Be active on social media! It will take a while to get good. Creating content is like any other skill, Playing Guitar, Playing Magic, Sewing, whatever. I know I was SOOOO self-conscious in the beginning. I am, and probably always will be my harshest critic, but you can’t let that stop you if creating content is truly something you want to do. Not every episode will be great. Trust us! However, each episode is likely something you can learn from. If you do this, and constantly strive to get better, you WILL get better over time. Tips for people thinking about starting a podcast/youtube channel Main Topic -Content Creation Creating content is NOT easy, but it CAN be worth it. What are some questions folks out in Audience Land have about creating content? Did you like this episode that was a lot less about playing Magic?  Summary Keep it Social!

Companions have caused quite a stir. Let’s see if we can find some good ways to use them in Commander Note: We are not including Lutri, the Spellchaser because it is banned, and we are also not including Yorion, Sky Nomad because you cannot meet the condition to play this card with a 100 card deck. Jegantha, the Wellspring {4}{R/G} Slivers is probably obvious, but I wanted to go a different route. Commander: Sisay, Weatherlight Captain Summary: WUBRG Legends Niv-Mizzet Reborn Cromat Horde of Notions O-Kagachi, Vengeful Kami The First Sliver Cards: Shadowspear Sword of the Animist Umezawa’s Jitte Konda’s Banner Blackblade Reforged Sunforger (Not legendary Ways to ramp up Sisay’s Power Many Commander staples are single-dipped Cyclonic Rift Kodama’s Reach Putrefy Rhystic Study Rampant Growth Smothering Tithe Samut, Voice of Dissent Najeela, the Blade-Blossom Faeburrow Elder Bonus Cards: Note: You can use a changeling Commander, ala Morophon Cat - 209 Elemental - 463 Nightmare - 59 Dinosaur - 114 Beast - 415 Commander: Marisi, Breaker of the Coil Summary: Cat Tribal! Plus, Goad is awesome! Skyhunter Prowler Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist Mirri, Cat Warrior (Forestwalk!)

Your deck, including your commander, must meet its companion requirement. Your companion is not one of your one hundred cards. 2020-04-17, Gatherer Rulings Pharika could be interesting (Enchantment) ReaperKing could be interesting (Artifact) Golos (Artifact) Kethis, the Hidden Hand (All Legendary creatures, double discount) Commander: Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord Summary: What’s better than ensuring your commander has NOTHING but creatures in the graveyard. And each creature is cheaper to cast. Self Mill theme. Underrealm Lich (bonus flavor points) Izoni, Thousand-Eyed Nyx Weaver Hermit Druid Cards: Ravenous Chupacabra Acolyte of Affliction Golgari Findbroker Syr Konrad, the Grim Bonus Cards: Umori, the Collector {2}{B/G}{B/G} Ryan Keruga, the Macrosage {3}{G/U}{G/U} Commander: Kruphix, God of Horizons Summary: Ramp like crazy, store up mana with your commander, play eldrazi Removal: Reclamation Sage Mana Ramp: Gyre Engineer Protection: Mystic Snake Cards Gyruda, Doom of Depths {4}{U/B}{U/B} Zack Main Topic - Companions in Commander   Commander: Zur the Enchanter  Summary: Self Mill Cards:   Mill: Psychic Corrosion   Mill: Dreamborn Muse   Win-Con: Thassa’s Oracle, Jace, Wielder of Mysteries Zirda, the Dawnwaker {1}{R/W}{R/W}   Commander: Kenrith, the Returned King or Golos, Tireless Pilgrim Summary: Ramp / Value Cards:    Mana Rocks: Arcane Signet Mana Dorks: Sylvan Caryatid and Birds of Paradise Win Con: Maze’s End.

The Talk - Ep 89   Thanks Mike Condon for the music and editing Tiffany for the logo/icon @MothershipGames - 09:15, 26:28, 44:05 @commandcast - 32:27 @edhrec - 34:51 @JoshLeeKwai - 36:07 @dpkrausejr - 37:28 Ep 89 Community Spotlight:   Main Topic - The Talk (The Decks and the Dice) Why have the talk?   To make sure everyone is on the same page regarding what kind of game is being played. To ensure everyone has fun. I think if you ask most people, they would say they have a better time playing Magic when the games are close/even Anecdotes about the talk. What do you think the power level of your deck is from 1-10? Are you running combos? How fast do you usually win? How many turns do your games usually last? Are you playing mass land destruction Questions you can ask: People will also see you as someone who strives to play balanced/Fun games. The more you have the talk, the easier it will be to bring up in the future.   Why might it be hard to have the talk   Anxiety New people   Pubstomping   Definition: When an organized team of friends/clan members plays against a team of "pubs" - random people who join a public server. Does this happen? Probably, but not nearly as much as one might think. I think sometimes CEDH players can get a bad wrap in this regard. I don’t think there are CEDH Boogey men out there, trolling events, trying to ruin folks days. We should all remember: “Magic is a game for everyone”, there are all kinds of ways to play and just because one playstyle doesn’t fit you, doesn’t invalidate it or mean others don’t enjoy Magic in that way.   Evaluating your decks   On average most people I’ve played say their decks are between six and seven on the power scale. This happens because there really is not standardized scale by which to measure your deck. This is a very hard problem to solve, because there are so many nuances in the power level of a deck I don’t think people are intentionally dishonest about the power of their decks. Maybe in their playgroup their deck does amazing and they think it’s higher Perhaps it is the opposite and they do not as well in their playgroup despite their deck being very powerful. Maybe because the rest of their playgroup has super ultra mega powerful decks Ryan - Grenzo, 6-6.5 Deck link: https://www.topdecked.me/decks/9b3fdf2b-82ca-4f6a-b859-9e7feae1e5ef Has a theme, but plays some cards that are kinda bad, like Dark-Dweller Oracle Has some powerful cards, like Mindslaver, but no way to recur it. Also has Gauntlet of Might, which can get out of hand pretty quickly Also, playing cards like Indomitable Creativity, which has high variance But can also just draw Insurrection and win a game Deck link: https://www.topdecked.me/decks/d5fbf9d2-2a66-4d44-afc2-904954f16ea5 Zack - Saheeli 7.5 - 8 Ryan and Zack talk about how they would rate their decks I’ve often found not all decks people play feel as powerful as they say, sometimes they are lower or higher.   How to prepare for playing with people you don’t know at your LGS or big event   Bring decks of varying power levels. Often times I let the other players know about 3-4 decks I have with me, and I see if they are interested in playing against any of them. Be prepared to have the talk. I’d even go so far as to say that YOU dear viewer should try and initiate the talk. Ryan will initiate the talk Zack will introduce himself Ryan asks Zack questions (Zack is playing Muldrotha) Ryan will eventually suggest he plays his Gonti deck (Ryan and Zack roleplay a talk) Trying to make an inviting event that caters to newer/more casual players is GOOD for our format. It will bring new players to our community, and that is a win for everyone. Mothership Games, our LGS, now has a two days set aside for EDH one more competitive / combo and one for newer more casual players Summary. We all want to play GOOD games of Magic. Even though it may be a little outside your comfort zone, having the talk can lead to a better overall experience, and even opens up lines of communication after the game, to discuss how it went. The more we all take measures such as having the talk, the better the game gets for everyone involved, it’s a win-win.

League Update: See the Deck here: Opened Niv-Mizzet in my Pre-Release pack and have been really wanting to build around him for a while, but just got around to it. The idea of the deck is to cast a bunch of instants to draw a bunch of cards to do a bunch of damage. Aside about how we built the deck together, sitting in the same room.

Be sure to pick an event that meets your expectations. Casual Commander - Recommend SCG Con or GP Vegas Main Event/Tournament Side Events - Limited/Modern/Standard/Commander Collect art/cards/meet MtG Celebrities Meet with friends and hang out (best part of MtG Events) Las Vegas has some amazing food and attractions Seattle his the home of the WotC and The Mox Boarding House Is it in a city that interests you? Choose an event that meets your budget and travel capabilities Costs can be shared - discuss more in budgeting section of notes Travel and Budget Make travel plans early. If flying use a site like Kayak to set a price alert to get the best deal. Advantage - Saves money/Share costs Disadvantage - Less privacy/Close Quarters/May be on other people’s schedules Not always close to the event No Maid Service Seattle Concierge Service had Umbrellas to loan out. Great source of info on where to eat and what to see No Concierge Service No room safe No Shuttle Service to and From/Airport No in hotel restaurant/bar Less amenities than a Hotel Air BnB tends to be cheaper, but: Advantages/Disadvantages of splitting Hotel/Air BnB costs Most events have at least 3 types of registration Main Event (Tournament) (Usually these days you are not allowed to register for a main event the day of the tournament) Limited SCG Con has a Commander Package Special access to a Commander Only Area Comes with other Extras such as playmats/pins/ and deck box Special/Commander On Demand (4 round) events Side Events Comes with some combination of the Main Event and/or Side Events with some added extras. Infinite Challenge Packages - Unlimited entries into a specific Side Event (not as common now) Extras typically include special access to a VIP party or head of the line privileges VIP Package Free/Cheap Events at GPs and MtG Cons Casual play where space is available GP Vegas is especially known for the large number of casual players Meeting artist Window Shopping Art Shows Panels (There were a couple of cool panels at GP Vegas this year. One on cosplay and how to make costumes. Another cool one was “Who’s Turn is it Anyway?” an improv show) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_7k_MDRu_o Special Side events sponsored by Content Creators. (Commanderin Cosplay Events) Play a game with your favorite MtG Celebrity Lines can be long for favorite Personalities Spellslinger Events You DO NOT have to buy any registration to enter and have fun at MtG event Pre-register for the events you want Preparing to Attend a GP/MtG event If flying: Pack cards and collection separate from luggage/clothing Do not check card collection. This may not be true for extremely budget airline ticket. You are typically allowed 1 carry on item and 1 personal item such as a backpack as long as it fits under the seat. What luggage are you allowed? Are there additional fees? What happens if you miss your flight? No moving seats No rebooking if you miss a flight if it is your fault First one to be forced off the flight if the flight is full Basic Economy tickets are very restricted. Read and Understand the terms of your ticket. Recommend getting the airlines Economy/Business Economy tickets (1 step above Basic Economy) For smaller regional airports, be there 2 hours a before the flight Large international hubs such as ATL or LAX, be there 3 hours before your departure REMEMBER: If your ticket says the plane leaves at 08:30, that means the doors close at 08:20. Once the doors on a plane are closed, you are not getting onto a plane. Expect to be delayed in at security due to your card collection. (This has happened to me just about every time! Mention JLK’s hilarious tweet: https://twitter.com/JoshLeeKwai/status/1053334228539064321 ) SHOW UP TO THE AIRPORT EARLY Going a long distance driving? Share the driving with a friend Plan for stops FuelLog Triptik Budget for gas (apps can help plan this) Waze Mapquest Plan for Traffic (apps can help with this) If Driving: Try to limit yourself to one personal item filled with MtG cards/decks It is easier to maintain physical security of your collection if it is easy to handle and store. Ryan - I try to REALLY challenge myself to only bring the top 5 Commander decks I’m interested in playing for the weeknd (and maybe also a brawl deck or two). Also, a good idea to bring different decks of varying power level, cause you don’t know who you will play against all weekend Do NOT overpack Travelling Be Friendly and Open to New Experiences No one owes you their time Everyone’s else may have different ideas of what is fun Be aware of your surroundings Do not leave your stuff unattended Hook your backpack/travel bag to a chair leg or to you Make sure zippers are not easily opened If you have a large and/or expensive collection you can get insurance for it It is a special rider that is added to your homeowners or renters insurance. It is cheap For extremely price items, insurance companies will want physical proof such as receipt of purchase or a picture of the item. Keeping a digital copy of your decks/collection online can help you during a claim. A police report is required to file an insurance claim Inform the event organizers, let them know if there are any unique items that may identify the collection   If you are unfortunate and your collection is stolen at an event, immediately file a police report GET INSURANCE! Especially if you are in the Main Event On site food is typically overpriced and not the greatest quality. Bring Snacks and Water Ask random people to play with you Make a sign advertising Post to twitter with a picture of the table number you are at and the Hashtag for the event, e.g. #GPVegas Once started a game with someone’s casual deck - turned out to be a crazy Thassa combo deck that got Omniscience out on turn 4. Don’t get mad - be polite Find a group that you enjoy Make new friends Not all decks are made the same If you are just there to play Casual Commander Visit your favorite artist Card signing are typically $1 -$2 per signature Make sure to UNSLEEVE your cards while you are standing in line. Don’t be that person making everyone wait while you are unsleeving double-sleeved cards Be prepared with what you want. You are not the only person in line. Most artist love discussing their artwork, but be respectful of their time, especially if they are busy. It’s really cool to meet and have conversations with MtG Celebrities. Most of the ones I have met are super happy to sign a playmat, and you’ll come out with an amazing, one-of-a-kind souvenir It’s good to have a few different color of sharpies available Also, a playmat with a bright color background, makes sure signatures show up really well. (For example, the first playmat I made with the BW logo was on a black background, which just didn’t work out all that well). Blank playmats are often available at the tournament site Bring a playmat and some sharpies! Panels include everything from format specific discussions, comedy sketches, to instructional how to’s. Attend a Panel Most events are held in large cities Visit and experience the local sites Some really great after-hours experiences can be had, not limited to a great dinner out with some cool podcast hosts :-P Get out of the Convention Hall Events are more than Game Play Maintain your Personal and Physical Security Attending an Event Be prepared Manage Expectations Have Fun Summary Main Topic - How to make the most of a Big Magic Event   Contact Info You can check us out at brotherswarcast.com YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/BrothersWarPodcast Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/brotherswarcast/ Official Page: https://www.facebook.com/brotherswarcast/ Facebook - You can email us directly at mail@brotherswarcast.com On twitter @brotherswarcast twitch.tv/greenegeek Ryan individually @greenegeek http://www.imdb.me/cjwostal CJ individually @Sudge1 Zack individually @z4ck38
