Commander Smash up

For those who have never heard of smash up, it is a living card game where players take 2 factions (say wizards and giant ants) and "smash" their decks together to battle each other for control of different bases. It's a really fun, fast paced game. Check it out. Smash up

Using this as inspiration and utilizing the new "Partner" mechanic in Commander 2016, I've decided to try and brew some 50 card decks that we can mash together to play some commander. (sure we could have done this before, but now  it's completely legal)

Commander 2016 my plan of attack

Commander 2016 spoiler season is here! I'm super excited. What plans do you have? My ideas have not stopped since monday...

Commander Review: Adriana, Captain of the Guard

OK, OK, I'll admit it: I'm a fool for Boros. Conspiracy has brought us another new commander to play with. Let's see how she stacks up against another Red/White commander and see if we can't find some strategies that play well with her at the helm.

Tiny No More (Converting Mardu Slivers)

A few months ago Tiny Leaders was the new fruit of the month. While it's a really fun as a simi-competitive format, the hype has died down, and finding a game is difficult.

One deck I created for this format is Mardu (RWB) Slivers. Commander is of course my playgroups main format to play, so I'm going to see if I can convert it and keep a similar feel.

The Great Experience (Counters)

Today I'm going to make a fun playful deck that may not work out in the end, but I feel the need to try it. After all this, to me, is what Casual Magic is all about- trying something fun.

The commander 2016 precons have been in our hands for a while now and I want to take advantage of the main new feature in this product- experience counters. So here is my 5 color deck: The Great Experience.

Update

It's been a while since I've posted anything, so I figure I could give an update on my magic life (and hopefully come post more often).

Tiny Leaders: Red Deck Wins- Goblin Style

There has been a new fad in the commander community as of late called tiny leaders. In a nutshell it is 50 card commander decks with all cards being less than 3 converted mana cost. It is meant to be a 1v1 format and competitive. What I want to do for today's exercise is take one of my favorite standard decks from the past and convert it into this new format. The deck is RDW goblin style from the zendikar/scars standard format.
