CommanderCast – MTGCast

Despite an awesome team-up of power outages and technical issues, I still managed to get this podcast done. It's late, yes. But at least it's here, which is more than was supposed to happen gauging the opposition it encountered on the way to completion. This week Andy is in the cipher with Carlos, Justin and Brionne. The subject is the new Commander product. We briefly touch on the banlist update, but otherwise maintain a laserbeam focus on the new products. Here's our hands-on review, our experiences, and some predictions based on our weekend of intensive play. As always, you know http://commandercast.blogspot.com/ is posting up full show notes, links, and extra content including the Thursday mid-week update.

This week CommanderCast is BREAKING ALL THE RULES (that don't matter)! Only three hosts? Spoiler discussion? Who are these rank amateurs? If you think you can stomach this, we're talking about SPOILARZ from the new Commander set... but don't worry, there's some real content in here too. Barriers to entry for new players, ramp decks, and favourite one-mana spells are also up for discussion. Next week's episode will be a special edition of CommanderCast discussing our hands-on experience and first impressions with the new Commander product. However, to maintain our policy of shunning theorycraft and worthless conjecture in place of experience and battle-tested strategy, we will be posting CommanderCast one day late; expect next week's episode to drop on June 21st. Want to help out? E-mail your experiences or awesome findings with the new product to CommanderCast(at)gmail(dot)com to get in on the mailbag segment.

The long-promised CommanderCast call-in episode is here! Following a super Free-For-All-Roundtable format, Andy and Carlos host eight CommanderCast listeners, each bringing their own topic and thoughts to the show. Each subject runs ten minutes. You'll hear a gauntlet of discussion running from pinpoint land destruction to white-border only decks. Be advised, this isn't a typical CommanderCast episode; the format and structure are different. It's a Commander discussion, it's a community forum, and it's totally awesome.
