CommanderCast 11: Cromat Has a Facebook Page

Posted by ANDY aka GHoooSTS
This episode is longer than most because Byron came back and he was all like "NOW IT IS MY TIME TO SHINE". We went a little long in recording and I already lopped some disgusting vestigial limbs of discussion off this monster, so suffice to say it was really long at first. You're getting the sanitized, post-op version. Trust me, it's for the best.

Our episode this week is delving deep into a variety of topics ranging from stabbing your mans in the back to making new friends. Well... that's actually just the Strategy segment. It's not like there isn't a rundown of the gamut of topics below in the show notes anyway, so I don't know why I'm still trying here.

Oh yeah, I'm doing me over on Twitter as CommanderCast now so GET AT ME.

Show notes and links below. Enjoy.




SHOW NOTES

00:00 to 02:48: Intro: Your three hosts introduce themselves. Some news on the podcast and whatever.

03:02 to 21:05: Community: Extended Mailbag: We show some love to our listeners and respond toy our e-mails on the podcast. Discussion on mono-blue decks, using EDH to vitalize dying MtG scenes and more!

21:14 to 46:24: Strategy: Let's Make A Deal: We're talking about making alliances and deals in EDH. How do you stab your ally in the back? What about out-of-game alliances? A seasonably in-depth discussion looking at short-term and long-term pacts with other players in Commander.

46:45 to 67:28: Technology: M11 and Commander: With M12 on the horizon we look back at M11 and each provide an awesome card, a dud card, and a hidden gem with an eye for Commander.


Byron's Picks:
Sun Titan is awesome, Phylactery Lich is a dud, and Reassembling Skeleton is a hidden gem.
Andy's Picks:
Hoarding Dragon is awesome, Conundrum Sphinx is a dud, and Back to Nature is untapped gold. 
Jeremiah's Picks:
Crystal Ball is awesome, Time Reversal is a dud, and Elixir of Immortality needs some shine.

67:44 to 84:40: Technology: Over//Under: Scion of the Ur-Dragon vs Cromat: 5-colour Commanders in a brawl! We hear thoughts on what's played out about Scion of the Ur-Dragon and show you why Cromat needs to be in your decks.

85:07 to closing: Outtro.

  1. I dodged a huuuuuuge bullet with Time Reversal.
    When the set first came out, and my LGS had them for "only" $13 a piece, I was trying to convince my playmate to pitch in to help me buy a set.

    "It's a (mostly) reprint of one of the power 9! How can it not be good?"

    He eventually talked me out of it.

    THANK. GOD.
