Hello everyone and welcome to CommanderCast Episode 205! We’re your weekly source for Community, Strategy, and Technology, hosted on MTGcast.com and our homesite: CommanderCast.com! We’re recording this on June 25th, 2015.
This week William, Calvin, Mark, and Aaron are joined by Eric, aka Grampa Growth, one of our newest writers. This week we talk about our favorite “Go-To” blocks, the sets we look at first when we need help with deck ideas and utility cards. Then Mark and Calvin ask for help figuring out how to build and play a Blue/Black Control deck. After that, the boys of Local Union 207 put in some serious elbow grease as they try to polish Boris Devilboon in our Entourage segment. We even have a on-the-spot field report from William, as he gives a quick rundown on what happened in his Commander Rotisserie draft.
All this and more await with the click of an IB!
