Bonus Episode: Report Out on Wishboard Testing Commander Theory

    • Games

Currently, wish effects don't work in Commander; sideboards are not supported within the official rules. Despite their lack of rules support in the game's most popular format, we've seen more wishes printed in the last year than in the previous decade, and Wizards shows no signs of slowing down, as wishes are used to improve gameplay in Best-of-One formats.

A few months back, we started experimenting with wishboards to see how all these wishes would affect deckbuilding and gameplay in Magic's largest format to help understand the pros and cons of changing the current rules surrounding wish effects in Commander.

In this episode, we share our experiences and the lessons we learned from this experiment.
