Vampires, cats, dragons, and wizards, oh my! This week we’re back with another episode of our favorite CCG, Magic: The Gathering. We have a ton of fun playing Commander format Magic when we all get together, so we thought it would be fun to showcase the latest precon decks in the Commander series, Commander 17.
Commander 17 focused on tribal decks, so each of these decks fit that theme. The new Eminence ability was also introduced, which allows for these commanders to start manipulating the battlefield before they even make it there. Teej is playing Draconic Domination, which is obviously dragon-themed. Schnell and his cats are running Feline Ferocity. Junior rolls with the patriarch of the Markov clan, Edgar Markov, and plays Vampiric Bloodlust. Nelson seeks to use wizards and countermagic to run everyone’s day, so he’s playing Arcane Wizardry. In order to show off how these decks play directly out of the box, everyone is playing a completely un-modified version of each deck.
This week in beer Teej steps up his game as he’s recovering from a nasty cold and goes with Maibock from Capital Brewing, Schnell channels his inner Ronald McDonald and drinks Ocular Pat-Down from Odd Side Ales, Junior throws a jab at Teej’s deck and drinks Magic Dragon Double IPA from Hop Haus Brewing Company, and Nelson aims to make his opponents suffer as he drinks Tears of My Enemies from Ale Asylum.
