Why Commander is the Best Format

         Everybody has there own opinion on what is the best magic format. The truth, though, is that it does not matter which is the best format to play, it's about what you like to play. Still, I am going to say that commander is probably the best format ever.

         One of the reasons is because it is not a rotating format, so you have as much time as you want to build your deck. In rotating formats like standard, you will have a limited amount of time before sets go out of standard. Commander on the other hand, allows cards from any set of Magic the Gathering. Please remember that there is a ban list, so some cards are banned from commander.

         Commander is a great multiplayer experience, and can even be played one on one. It favors the people that don't have the money to keep up with the standard rotation. Because in commander, there is no rotation! Commander is a fun way to play Magic the Gathering. 

         If you don't feel like spending to much money for a commander deck, you can buy a commander precon deck. Unlike planeswalker precon decks, the commander precons are actually good! They can beat decks that aren't precons. 

        Commander is an amazing format that should keep being loved and played by the many players of Magic the Gathering.

        Before we rap up this talk, I would like all of you to know that if you are trying to get into commander and learn more about the format, there is no better outlet than The Command Zone. The Command Zone is a Youtube channel that is mostly all about commander. With two guys that are very experienced in commander.

        That's all for now, see you guys next time!

New Challenger Decks

The new challenger decks were just announced! There will be four decks, each having sixty cards and a fifteen card sideboard. Each deck has a different theme, and the idea is that they will be standard playable right out of the box. The four new decks are: Allied Fires Final Adventure Cavalcade Charge Flash of Ferocity Allied Fires is a  Fires of Invention  deck with a heavy load of uncommon (and a few rare) planeswalkers. It's in the Jeskai colors, although I should note that the deck does include  Kenrith, the Returned King , which has abilities that not every color in the deck can use. Final Adventure is, like it's name, an adventure deck. It has a lot of adventure creatures, as well as synergies to go with them.  Edgewall Innkeeper  is there to provide some value and  Lucky Clover  can copy the adventure side of the creatures. Cavalcade Charge is a mono red aggro deck....that's about it. However, that doesn't mean it's a bad thing. The...

Pioneer

Pioneer, the new MTG format, was just announced by Wizards of the Coast. It has there full tournament support, and they have announced future tournaments for the format. But what is Pioneer? Pioneer is a non-rotating format, and the card pool is from Return to Ravnica and up. So that means you will be able to play cards from the Theros block, Tarkir block, Kaladesh block, and many more. A lot have been comparing it to frontier, and expecting it to fail, but there is a difference. Frontier had a smaller card pool and not a lot support from Wizards of the Coast. Pioneer is a bigger card pool, support from Wizards of the Coast, and even has competitive tournaments coming up. Pioneer has so much possibility, looking at all the decks from past standards, it's hard to decide what deck to play! Before I go any further, I do want to say that there is a ban list, but it only includes the five fetch lands from Khans of Tarkir. Which is fine with me, but at the same time there is so many...

Double Masters: The best set...Almost

     Double Masters is the newest Magic the Gathering set releasing on August 7th. Each pack will contain two of everything you usually get. So two rares or mythics, two foils, all that good stuff. The cards included in Double Masters are like a dream come true. Cards that have been expensive in the past are being reprinted: Jace the Mind Sculptor, Mana Crypt, Force of Will, Karn Liberated, Blighsteel Colossus, Dark Confidant, Doubling Season, Mox Opal, Sword of Fire and Ice, Exploration, Cyclonic Rift, I could go on. It finally feels like players will be able to get these expensive cards that they couldn't afford in the past. Unfortunately, the price to get sealed product is way too high. One booster pack, just one single booster pack, costs fourteen dollars! That is one single booster pack, not a collector's edition, not a VIP pack - one regular pack costs fourteen dollars. And a booster box? Well, you can find one of those for $320. The price is just way too high. Yes,...
