Customer Reviews
Nice Podcast!
I have only recently gotten into EDH and ordered my first ever non-modern deck - the podcast really really helped to find out about the format, while being immensely entertaining. Keep it up guys!
Welcome, you have entered the Command Zone!
The Command Zone is to EDH players what LR is to Drafters. It's both fun and informative. Josh and Jimmy -and the occasional guest - really know their stuff and you can clearly see, that they love the game, that is Magic the Gathering. A must for Commander players, recommended for all Spellslingers!
