Podcasts about The Vanity Set

Different decks built around the same commander may even call for different approaches to mana development. Andy takes Kyle into his two different builds for Bruna, the Fading light—one around making angels hellishly persistent, the other recovering valuable low-curve humans. As they look at the two lists, focus descends onto how differently the construction of mana access has been important for realizing these two adjacent, but different styles of play.

Legends tend to attract some players more than others, but what happens if you take a legend your friend loves and build your own brew for it? Andy and Kyle explore a couple legends that were formally on the other's roster of commander decks to see what kind of ideas get generated from occupying a different point of view. Kyle takes a stab at the contemporary capabilities of Glissa, the Traitor, while Andy gives Liesa, Shroud of Dusk the old college try.

Time to find a farm upstate for the rabbit citizen to call home As with any of the most popular commanders, reports are mixed. Clearly there is an appetite for what Ms. Bumbleflower provides access to from the zone. But can we find the type of experience players are chasing with alternative legends and game plans. Kyle and Andy look at both practical experience with group hug type decks and theory crafting to explore better ways to use the group hug concept or just manufacturing table interaction that fits the competitive nature of EDH.

Everyone is always testing the boundaries of balance in decks. How does complexity impact balance? Kyle brings to the table a consideration to explore with Andy is trying to categorize an idea in directives, which might be different jobs sets of cards have in a deck. Kyle and Andy then discuss how multi-directive decks might be facilitated or become too cumbersome, depending on the commander or the ask.

Who needs to use their turn when the luxury of timing is on their side? Some may think of the classic spellslinger as annoyingly taking their turn on someone else's turn--check the last episode to explore why that doesn't need to be the case. In this episode, Andy gets into the reasons for delaying actions until the needful moment, how to keep that from becoming a pitfall, and how this stance can be leveraged in a variety of deck concepts.

We talked about the mana value composition of a spellslinger deck, now let's get into thinking about the deck's posture. Often times we can craft decks and we let the archetype and cards dictate whether we are aggressively playing cards or waiting for the right moment to strike. Andy explores how we can be more deliberate with the choice and gets into examples of how spellslinger can be constructed to aggressively play its cards, rather than waiting for specific moments.

Turns out that despite Kyle's frequent love and mention of enchantments, he hasn't done an episode on them in a while. With the length of the podcast's history, Kyle takes Andy back to some ideas discussed in 2018 and opens up discussion about the seismic changes to how the card type can be played in commander. Andy opens the analogy of liminal spaces in Magic and the two take a look at how different enchantment archetypes may lead us to create liminal spaces in our brews.

Last year the LCP church did some wild things as a group and individuals, so what could this year of Magic bring with some intention. After a year of taking apart entire rosters of decks and trying to figure out our group's relationship with the bracket system, Andy and Kyle are thinking about what they want to get out of their experience with this hobby that brings us all together this year. From maintaining a roster, to finding the sweet spot of deck construction, the group interaction, and more, let's talk about what's on our minds going into 2026.

We've talked about the theory. Andy's talked about the types of cards to look for. Now he's putting it all together into a handful of decks. Whether you're thinking about the classic Voltron, the aspirant, the duelist, or the warlord, Andy takes us into the weeds to see what it looks like to try and use the idea of classes of commander damage decks to ensure that each card slot is efficiently doing the right job for the deck.

Building a roster that is personally expressive, plays well with your friends, and is fun to play is a tricky and ongoing task for all commander players. Kyle sets up a premise for checking how far his roster might skew towards personal preferences and whether he's straying too far from the crowd to have a balanced roster experience. He and Andy then take a look to see if there are any themes in juxtaposition with the EDHREC data. Look for links to deck lists on our lists-from-the-pod channel on Discord.

Concepts are one thing, but what about some cards. If you listened to the recent Anatomy of a Killer episode, you've probably been mulling over Andy's sub-archetypes for Voltron commander decks. With the concepts in hand, let's start thinking about the concrete cards that cover all bases. While the obvious cards may be out there, can we find some nuance in balancing on the line between being a killer and being killed in the game of EDH?

There's a ton of Magic products in the year 2025. So let's be sure to pause and get inspired by the not-too-distant past before we get into all our man spiders and element bending characters. Five Patreon supporting listeners are providing deck lists from Duskmourn, Aetherdrift, Tarkir: Dragonstorm, and Final Fantasy. Kyle takes Andy for a drive-by browsing of lists from each of the four recent sets to churn up some inspiration out of the 266 legends added to the collection of possible commanders, in the hopes of reminding us that there are plenty of deck ideas found when looking back.

While this is not a discussion of brackets, the brackets and game changers have provided the LCP play group with some tools to define a future evolution of what it looks like to sit down at our table with decks that fit the vibes of the group. As the Ragnarok dust has settled, Andy and Kyle talk about the space that tutors and game changers could possibly occupy in their group and envision what that may look like.

Mill often connotes getting to the bottom of your opponents' libraries, but does that connotation keep us from looking at some of its other uses? Kyle guides a conversation with Andy into exploring a brief history of how mill came to be a part of the game and takes a look at the many ways decks and commander design are hooking into what mill can provide. Maybe next time you're up to other mechanical things with a deck, you can show off that you're into mill too, leaving your delighted friends to say, "Imagine that."

Commander damage as a tool or archetype can be overly simplified in in the connotations it conjures, but are we appreciating the available nuances? Andy outlines some stats to keep in mind when considering how you can use commander damage as a tool in deck construction. He then discusses with Kyle some archetypes for builidng with commander damage in mind and how these might inform how we think about deck construction in a classical or novel "Voltron" style.

How many deck ideas have you drafted, but never got around to putting into sleeves? Kyle and Andy take a dive into a few brews from times of yore that they tinkered with but never got around to collecting the cards, sleeving up, and bringing to a table. We explore whether we thought ideas would work, or if we were capable, or if we thought the group would respond well to the deck. And we disabuse each other of some perhaps unfounded reasons for not building these brews. (00:00:00) - Introduction (00:03:15) - Why Might One Leave It as an Idea?

Andy shares the joys and pains of rebuilding an EDH roster. You heard from Kyle last time talk about his deliberate approach to building a new roster of decks. In this episode, Andy shares his wildly different experience, particularly has a player who had a roster of decks that were refined to a specific palette and how he used a list of "wants" to guide the process of rising from the dust of the exercise.

Are those pet concepts in a deck really getting the flavor you want into your games? Andy and Kyle talk about flavoring the baked potato that is our commander decks. Is that niche card or category delivering on the imagined interaction when the deck was brewed, giving you a nuanced and satisfyingly flavorful Magic experience? Or are there cases where we might be better served by getting back to basics with a deck and just delivering on a known Magic palette pleaser?

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.

The modern workplace feels lifeless, an idea many of us sense, even if buried in our subconscious. Why is this? Capitalism has never been stagnant. Over the centuries, it has transformed into various forms: Industrial, Mixed-Economy, and Postmodern Capitalism. But, are we witnessing the rise of something new? Perhaps reminiscent of Marx's concept of 'Dead Labor'.

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.

In this episode, we sit down with MAVS (Makeup and Vanity Set), the composer and musician behind the iconic soundtracks of Tenderfoot TV's podcasts, including Up and Vanished, Atlanta Monster, and High Strange. MAVS opens up about the creative process that has shaped the haunting and cinematic scores integral to each show. From the serendipitous way he first connected with Tenderfoot to the experimental techniques he uses to craft the perfect sound, this episode pulls back the curtain on the music that has become synonymous with true crime storytelling. Listeners will get an insider's look at how MAVS approaches each project, blending organic sounds with innovative compositions to elevate the narrative and evoke deep emotions, all while maintaining a close creative partnership with Tenderfoot TV's team. www.makeupandvanityset.com Subscribe to Tenderfoot+ for ad-free listening - https://tenderfoot.tv/plus/ Follow Talking to Death on Social: IG: @talkingtodeath TikTok: @talkingtodeathpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. So let's see what the listeners are doing to stay unique. As always, find deck lists and card lists from the podcast on the Discord server's #lists-from-the-pod channel.

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.

Winning is a key element of Magic: the Gathering, but it's an unusual proposition in commander. That unusual space can make for varied expectations and feelings about winning.
