Commander Theory

The best dang Commander podcast on the internet

[Commander Theory @CommanderTheory]

@SaffronOlive You could say the same thing for Sign in Blood every turn

[Commander Theory @CommanderTheory]

@MTG_Arena Why are Strip Mine and Mana Drain legal in the Brawl Builder Challenge?

[Commander Theory @CommanderTheory]

@coreyjbowen Thanks for the answer! I'll find you in the other place 🦋

[Commander Theory @CommanderTheory]

@coreyjbowen is Loyal Retainers still part of White's color pie?

[MTG Arena Daily Deals @ArenaDailyDeals]

(I don't know why the island is missing.)

[Commander Theory @CommanderTheory]

@mtg_ds Double check to make sure the Jumbo Cactuar in the FF dataset wasn't attacking

[Commander Theory @CommanderTheory]

@bananamelter Or they become the buddha

[Commander Theory @CommanderTheory]

@SaffronOlive WotC finally solved the problem of people casting too many busted spells on Arena

[Commander Theory @CommanderTheory]

@bsweitz123 Are we likely to see more Push the Limit effects in Red going forward? Are Shallow Grave-type reanimation effects moving into Red?

[Commander Theory @CommanderTheory]

@cZairAI @bsweitz123 Who decides what does and doesn't break the color pie if not the Red representative on the Council of Colors?

[Commander Theory @CommanderTheory]

@Dunkatog Are there any plans to revert or change the errata on Aysen Crusader now that Hero is a supported creature type again?

[Commander Theory @CommanderTheory]

@bsweitz123 it looks like y'all have settled on new norms for Red wheel effects. Can you speak a little bit on how you settled on these designs?

[Commander Theory @CommanderTheory]

@bsweitz123 Any reason why Breaching Dragonstorm wasn't worded as Discover 8? Seems odd given that cameos are a thing and there are rewards for using the keyword.

@TCGplayer Dismember with flavor text "My leg!"

[Commander Theory @CommanderTheory]

@mtg_ds @GavinVerhey @EDHRECast This selection of cards didn’t need to be on the game changer list because they already fell under the category of mass land denial.

[Commander Theory @CommanderTheory]

@wizards_magic Why is Mass Hysteria in Innistrad Remastered if it's never been printed in an Innistrad set before?

[Commander Theory @CommanderTheory]

@Jaqalyte @Magical__Hacker I don't think every player needs to memorize every list for them to be helpful. Even if casual players don't know all the details they can be taught to look them up and I think these will be very useful for enfranchised players.

[Commander Theory @CommanderTheory]

@Jaqalyte Putting combo pieces on the list (with the possible exception of Thassa’s Oracle) seems like a fool’s errand.

[Commander Theory @CommanderTheory]

@Jaqalyte Cards players generally don’t like to play against (efficient resource denial like Armageddon) and cards that arguably go in every deck and are power outliers in variance reduction or resource generation (Vampiric Tutor, Rhystic Study). I wouldn’t mind a list that was 100+ cards.
