“This show is WoTC’s lapdog/mouthpiece for the Commander format. Unerringly oriented towards new players, overly commercialized, and leaning on celebrity (MtG and actual); while this show does have real content it is a part of Magic’s race to the bottom. Notice they don’t significantly comment on WoTC/Hasbro’s disingenuous management of the game or it’s player base. We are all treated as rubes and marks and Command Zone is a part of that…from 5 - 6 minute intros full of cheesy singing and advertisements (for the channel, sponsors, & snowflake millennials who are suckers enough to give money to these guys for free content); to the mid-roll break for sponsors & patreon appeals…. This show touts it’s overhead costs in staff and production to make ‘quality’ content, but it actually appears to be an attempt to satisfy Josh Lee Kwai ego with his need for an ‘assistant’ and to low-key push his Magic philosophy on others… all while providing ‘fame’ and access he did not achieve in Hollywood as a no-name movie trailer production guy. Oh and the actual content doesn’t have any useful insights or strategies. It’s all set reviews & new commander analysis these days. The same thing that a quick perusal on EDHrec & a familiarity with the game can give you without someone selling you deck sleeves, hair-loss treatment, ear buds, or online therapy. Sheesh - talk about playing into the mom’s basement-dwelling, neck-beard stereotype…but if the shoe fits? Maybe the part aimed at Mr. Kwai is a bit personal & ad hominem, but it doesn’t mean it’s not true. What they make is lowest common denominator ‘quality’ content for the masses. It has excellent self-production standards for an outfit on YouTube, but you don’t need assistants & staff to provide real, insightful, and unbiased content - which you ABSOLUTELY do not get here. Go ahead and try and episode or two - it may be something you like, but just know the biased market mouthpiece you are subscribing to. Caveat Emptor.”

“I just recently got into Commander/EDH format and this podcast has helped me out a ton. I love discovering new cards and finding out unique ways of playing the game - many of which have nothing to do with your deck at all! The guests have original and interesting insight. I usually rocketjump...”Read full review »

“Funny, interesting, levels up your EDH skills wether you want to win or, more importantly in EDH, have fun, and helps you find those budget hidden gems that you always knew existed but never seem to find. Just great!”
