This episode isn’t about how much removal you’ve got. It’s more about asking if you’re running the right kind of interaction, to match your deck/strategy.
The Command Zone@commandcast.bsky.social · 2w ago“In Response!” If you’ve never said those two fateful words, you’re not winning as many Commander games as you should. A solid gameplan needs a strong disruption package to back it up, so today we’re breaking down how to build a complete suite of interaction. Watch it now: youtu.be/LDkLS6fo6cU

During Commander games, do you consider the turn order when making your moves? If not, you probably should be. And we’re not just talking about who went first. There are different things to watch out for, and different ways to maximize your chances, from each seat position.
The Command Zone@commandcast.bsky.social · 2mo agoIs going first in turn order overrated? We crunched the numbers on our own games and the answer might surprise you. Don't miss the latest episode: youtu.be/bBZ-PvOyYKY CC: @joshleekwai.bsky.social @wachelreeks.com

Moral of the story: card evaluation is hard!
The Command Zone@commandcast.bsky.social · 4mo agoWhen a new set comes out, we review the new cards to try to predict how good and/or powerful they will be. But sometimes we get it WRONG. This episode, we’re looking back at all the cards we underestimated, overestimated, or just missed altogether: youtu.be/4aGmNlEqb7o
