2024 had a TON of Commander precons hit the shelves - 24 in fact! But not all precons are created equal, and this year had its duds as well as its slam dunks. But which is which? Never fear! We’ve got Rachel, Murph, and Jordan here to break down every single preconstructed deck from the past 365 and rank each of them definitively from best to worst! Find out which ones slapped and which ones deserved a slap. It’s gonna be fun!

Show Notes:

Commander is famously a casual format, so it’s easy to handwave some of the more complicated rules when it comes to stuff like the stack and priority in a 4-player pod. But if you’re looking to take your gameplay to the next level, understanding these rules isn’t just helpful, it’s essential. This time, we’re running back a classic episode featuring our friend and L2 judge Danny Simard to help explain some of those intricacies, and most importantly, how you can benefit from them strategically to have more fun and win more games!

A Masterclass in Priority | 649

Hindsight is a 20/20 with Flying and Indestructible, so it’s time to look back at 2024 and all of the controversies, changes, events, and of course, cards from the last 365 days. From unprecedented bans that shook up the Commander world forever, to design choices that may have shifted the fabric of the game, plus the rise of Universes Beyond, and even a little bit of art theft thrown in for flavor, we’ve got a lot to talk about.

This episode Jimmy, JLK, and Rachel discuss everything that made this last year unique. We cover the highs and the lows, discussing where Magic has been, where it stands now, and of course, what they hope the future holds for the game we all love. It’s gonna be a big one, so let’s jump in!
