We'll also be comparing the value of the Secret Lair to other like cards #SecretLair drop which should help determine if this will hold up! WHAT IS A BREAK POINT?

Episode 276: The Commander Smiths main segment is advocating to goldfish your decks after finishing the build. Adam plays "what the bleep" and we have the results for the first round of the vehicle tournament.   This week the Smith boys delve into the fascinating topic of GLDFISHING in MTG Commander. Goldfishing refers to playing a game of Magic: The Gathering solitaire-style, without an opponent, purely to assess the effectiveness and consistency of a deck's gameplay. It allows players to gauge the speed, synergy, and potential weaknesses of their decks, helping them fine-tune strategies and optimize their card choices. In the context of Commander, where multiplayer dynamics and unpredictable interactions come into play, goldfishing serves as a crucial tool for commanders to evaluate their decks and ensure they can perform well in the challenging and often chaotic multiplayer environment.         LIVE Stream HERE https://youtube.com/live/nmagWB5pYVk?feature=share   A FREE way to support the show is

Episode 275: This week we discuss Vehicles... should you be using these more? Vehicles offer unique advantages in Commander. They provide versatile creatures that can be crewed by any of your creatures, bypassing color restrictions and enabling unexpected synergies. They can serve as mobile fortresses, protecting your key permanents from board wipes or targeted removal. Additionally, they offer an alternative win condition by turning into powerful artifact creatures with unique abilities. Embracing vehicles adds excitement, versatility, and a fresh dynamic to your Commander games. Also, we will be doing a Vehicle TOURNAMENT Draft! Not only do we feel vehicles could be used more but we will also point out our favorites to use!   LIVE Stream HERE https://youtube.com/live/gnv0y87cDr4   A FREE way to support the show is to SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube page and LIKE/SHARE our videos and podcasts https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4mttoLhPuTpOUMsqF1O-og?view_as=subscriber   Follow us on twitter where you will see any v
