#5 Legendary Head Cannons
What do you do when a card is so right for the deck functionally but a complete miss as far as flavor? Does Magic and Commander have too many legendary creatures? If every creature is legendary then whose doing the dishes?

#1 Artifacts and Treasure
Artifacts are losing their minds. Have they gone too far? Are they too powerful? Has it made thematic sense or is this future of Magic going forward? We talk the comedy of taking damage in Commander. Lynn's trouble with vehicle decks. Bobbie-Christine talks about how far artifacts have come and why they make sense thematically. She shares a card that she designed and proposed on Twitter. Lynn poses an alternative to treasure. Then the two get down to the business of throwing out bulk picks.
