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.

I dodged a huuuuuuge bullet with Time Reversal.
ReplyDeleteWhen 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.
