Is Monored Goodstuff Possible? ft. @golgariguy 2:00:21

2:00:21

In this episode, Valerio (probably better known as @golgariguy on Twitter) returns to the show to discuss the absolute state of monored. Although White has gotten a lot of community attention in the last few years, Red has quietly fallen behind the other colors and is lacking many of the basic tools needed to compete in Commander. With data, deckbuilding, and a healthy bit of theorycrafting, we dissect Red and offer some areas where it could be improved without breaking the color pie. Decks discussed in this episode: Monogreen Goodstuff Monoblue Goodstuff Monoblack Goodstuff Monowhite Goodstuff Monored Goodstuff (Nick) Monored Goodstuff (Raphael) Monored Goodstuff (@golgariguy) Support the show You can reach me on Twitter or email me here If you like the podcast, please support it on Patreon !

RE-RUN: Underplayed Creature Types You're Sleeping On 49:04

Taking a break to enjoy the post-spoiler season afterglow; please enjoy this re-run of one of my favorite eps from the past year. Typal is a well you can come back to over and over because, well, it's fun! And there are infinite possibilities! So in this episode Nick and Zak dive into which types have the highest ranking members on EDHREC, and compare that to what the type overall is ranked to see where the biggest delta of power is. What's the difference between "how often played" and "how often played together"? What do these creature types need to "get there"? And why aren't people taking notice now if the cards are so strong?
