-
- Ocio
Welcome to the Hero's Blade Vibe Check, where we talk all things Commander/EDH and Magic, recent and future events, games and deck brews, new cards, articles and gameplay videos, and if your Commander passes the Vibe Check!
We're Cole (he/him, @UncommonCmdrMTG on Twitter) and Empress Quinn (fae/faer, @girldickenergy on Twitter), joining forces to chat about things we love and adore in Magic the Gathering. Let's hang out and enjoy the vibes.
