Everyone grab your carpet squares, gather round the reading chair, and sit criss-cross apple sauce - Mr. Chris will be telling you a story! This week, the guys recount the story of Magic from March of the Machines up through Bloomburrow. Lots of great stuff happens during the Omenpath saga, so much that Tim considers dressing up as a cowboy for Halloween. But really though, how many hijinks can Kellan actually get into?https://www.casualcommanderpodcast.comhttps://linktr.ee/casualcommanderIf ...

Everyone's favorite form of Jazz is clearly Freeform Jazz. Which is why Tim and Chris decided to have a freeform episode to discuss the current state of magic. They set a prompt, set a timer, and just let it roll. If you're new here you might think it went well. If you're not new here, you know for a fact it didn't go well. https://www.casualcommanderpodcast.comhttps://linktr.ee/casualcommanderIf you'd like to help support the podcast, be sure to check out our pa...

Can you believe it's been 3 weeks already since the last time Chris made Tim put together a deck? I can't believe it either, feels like just yesterday. Naturally Chris' deck was filled to the brim with things that would make people lose faith in humanity. And Tim's deck had 3 copies of Wayfarer's Bauble. Go check them out and tell us if you like them!https://www.casualcommanderpodcast.comhttps://linktr.ee/casualcommanderIf you'd like to help support the podcast, be sur...

Ever wondered what it was like to hear a grown adult man complain about cute little woodland creatures? If you've listened to this podcast you know exactly who did the complaining and how thin the logic was. BUT THAT BEING SAID squirrels are terrible animals. Regardless of how a certain podcaster feels about rats with better PR, the precons made for Bloomburrow are actually quite well done and we rate them all in this episode!

It's not the most clever title for the episode, but it is the correct one. Obviously Chris is traveling this week or he wouldn't let me pick that name for the episode (he could never be as free and whimsical as me. So my good friend Matt joined me to finish the discussion on the remaining Modern Horizons 3 precons! They were definitely, in fact, commander decks, and I'll just leave it at that. Let us know in the comments all the ways we were wrong!COMMANDER PRECON RANK...

Has anyone seem Tim? He's still missing...This week, Chris brings the lovely social media manager / partner in crime (and life) Evie as a guest! Evie listened to the episode where we ranked the cutest cards in magic and said we did a bad job and wanted to provide her own list. Chris accepted it, but made the caveat that we need to build a deck with these cards. So we did. And it may actually work somehow...You can check the deck out here: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/EF7x-TGmg0mz63dlEopHRgW...

Tim continues to abandon us (just kidding Tim love you). This week, Chris is joined by the good friend of the podcast Ryan! The two of them discuss what they consider to be their "Commander Power Nine" and why they picked them. Some of the cards they agree on, some they definitely don't. They argue why it is only nine.

Tim has left Chris to his own devices for a few weeks. As Chris, I apologize.This week, Chris invited their good friend Dave back on to talk about lands! Basic lands have really been left in the dust, and Dave has a bone to pick with that. This episode is focused on their favorite basic land arts, and how you can really spruce up your decks by providing a cohesive basic mana base. Hopefully this episode will inspire you to get rid of your 20 unique basic lands in your decks and make them look...

The Eldrazi are coming back bigger and badder than ever. With their return comes one of the most briny builds at all: Annihilator. This week, Chris and Tim talk about this mechanic and it's impact on the commander format.

We decided seeing as Chris has 382,425 decks ready to be reviewed, that it was time to knock that down to 382,424 and do a deck tech episode! So obviously I (tim the editor this week who is also very handsome) made a deck 30 minutes before recording! Also by the time we finished recording Chris had made 4 new decks raising his number up to 382,428. He's such quirky guy!https://www.casualcommanderpodcast.comhttps://linktr.ee/casualcommanderIf you'd like to help support the po...
