Betrayers of Kamigawa week: Mark of Sakiko can at a ton of mana to your mana pool to use on the back half of your turn. It's prob not worth using unless you have a cmdr with protection and evasion, but in a deck like say Sigarda, Host of Hurons it can be disgusting. edhrec.com/cards/mark-o...

Betrayers of Kamigawa week: Merry Christmas! Overblaze is in just 3,200 decks on EDHREC and should be in way more, especially given how it stacks with things like double strike. Hopefully you got a copy in your stocking this morning. edhrec.com/cards/overbl... #edh #mtg #mtgcommander #commander

Betrayers of Kamigawa week: Kami of False Hopes remains an excellent card even today as mono white's Spore Frog. edhrec.com/cards/kami-o... #edh #mtg #mtgcommander #commander #magicthegathering #mtgedh #mtgcommunity

Betrayers of Kamigawa week: In the Web of War buffs your bodies and gives them haste. Enduring Courage has outclassed this by and large as has Ogre Battledriver but Web remains a solid backup option especially in a deck that cares about enchantments. edhrec.com/cards/in-the... #edh #mtg

Betrayers of Kamigawa week:

Champions of Kamigawa week: Honor-Worn Shaku isn't terribly exciting until you realize you can tap planeswalkers with it. Then it gets WAY more interesting in a Superfriends deck. edhrec.com/cards/honor-...

Champions of Kamigawa week: It's a a repeatable Diabolic Tutor. That's a lot of mana to spend to get the first activation, but after that it can generate a ton of value. edhrec.com/cards/night-...

Champions of Kamigawa week: Have an elf problem? A goblin problem? A merfolk problem? Not anymore, because Night of Souls' Betrayal solves those problems. edhrec.com/cards/night-...

Champions of Kamigawa week: Six mana is a lot even for this effect as an instant, but in the right deck it's a great way to polymorph a token into something busted. edhrec.com/cards/reweave #edh #mtg #mtgcommander #commander #magicthegathering #mtgedh #mtgcommunity

Champions of Kamigawa week: You probably really only want Teller of Tales in a spirit deck, but in a spirit deck this 3/3 flyer can do work, tapping or untapping any creatures you want. edhrec.com/cards/teller...

Champions of Kamigawa week: If a Fling is good, all the Flings on one card must be better, right? edhrec.com/cards/soulbl...

Champions of Kamigawa week: It says something about the power of fogs that Ethereal Haze is still an excellent card all these years later. A single mana to blank an entire swing is a great rate. You can even Splice onto Arcane! You won't, but you could. But you won't. edhrec.com/cards/ethere...

Fifth Dawn week: A whole lot of commanders like Emry, Lurker of the Loch like putting artifacts in the yard, and Artificer's intuition does it while also putting one from your library into your hand in the process. edhrec.com/cards/artifi... #edh #mtg #mtgcommander #commander #magicthegathering

Fifth Dawn week: It's no Vandalblast, but what is? Still for four mana you get to destroy every mana rock and treasure/clue/blood/food token on the board, and that's pretty solid even at sorcery speed. edhrec.com/cards/granul... #edh #mtg #mtgcommander #commander #magicthegathering #mtgedh

Fifth Dawn week: Eyes of the Watcher is deceptively useful in a Talrand-esque deck filled with cantrips and cheap draw since you can use the scry to vastly increase the likelihood the spell draws another cantrip or cheap draw. Rinse and repeat. edhrec.com/cards/eyes-o... #edh #mtg #mtgcommander

Folks, I put these cards up on my wants list on @cardsphere.com TODAY and they’re already getting picked up for someone to send out. If you haven’t tried out Cardsphere you’re missing out on my favorite way to get hold of cards at a better price than any other marketplace

Fifth Dawn week: Beacon of Creation can generate a lot of tokens in a mono-g deck or frankly any deck with token synergy and Doubling Season-esque multipliers, and you get a free shuffle out of the deal after casting it. edhrec.com/cards/beacon... #edh #mtg #mtgcommander #commander #mtgedh

Fifth Dawn week: Five mana to take away your opponent's best artifact from their library and put it directly into play under your control is a really solid rate, especially if your deck also cares about artifacts. edhrec.com/cards/acquire #edh #mtg #mtgcommander #commander #magicthegathering

Fifth Dawn week: In a vacuum, land aura enchants aren't nearly as good as just ramping lands in green. However, there can be a ton of synergy with the tech in decks who care about auras or with ways to untap things. edhrec.com/cards/dawns-...

Fifth Dawn week: Cast it for 0, and at any point moving forward you can spend 2 at instant speed to destroy all tokens. That's amazing, and it's still only in about 5,400 decks. edhrec.com/cards/engine... #edh #mtg #mtgcommander #commander #magicthegathering #mtgedh #mtgcommunity

Darksteel week: Echoing Decay costs two mana at instant speed to wipe out a token swarm. That's very solid if you constantly see token decks in your meta. And even if you just use it to kill some random 1/1 or 2/2 that's still not terrible. edhrec.com/route/?cc=Ec... #edh #mtg #mtgcommander

Darksteel week: Spawning Pit's text kinda doesn't matter beyond the fact that it's a sacrifice outlet that can be used at instant speed for zero cost. That's it. edhrec.com/route/?cc=Sp... #edh #mtg #mtgcommander #commander #magicthegathering #mtgedh #mtgcommunity

Today's EDHREC Commander of the Day is a deep cut; Lu Bu, Master-at-Arms from Portal 3K. Lu Bu is our 2,751st ranked cmdr atop 113 decks, most of which are voltron and equipment themed. Six mana for a hasty, near-unblockable 4/3 is a lot, but you get style points. edhrec.com/commanders/l...

Darksteel week: Vedalken Engineer is a really excellent mana dork IF you're playing a heavy artifact deck, or at least a deck with an artifact commander. Two mana to generate two mana every turn moving forward is very solid. edhrec.com/route/?cc=Ve... #edh #mtg #mtgcommander #commander

Nicanzil, Current Conductor is the EDHREC Commander of the Day, just a Simic merfolk doing Simic things. Nicanzil is in 1,231 decks and is the 1,240th ranked commander on EDHREC where it leads mostly merfolk, +1 counter, self-mill and explore decks. edhrec.com/commanders/n... #edh #mtg #mtgedh

Darksteel week: Genesis Chamber can create a ton of artifact creature value, especially if you have a way to tap it to keep your opponents from profiting from that same value. edhrec.com/route/?cc=Ge... #edh #mtg #mtgcommander #commander #magicthegathering #mtgedh #mtgcommunity

Darksteel week: Sure there's lots of ways to overrun (Overrun?) in green, and most are better than Echoing Courage, but none are as cheap to cast, and few are instants. It really only works in a token deck, but in that kind of deck it might be worth a look. edhrec.com/cards/echoin... #edh #mtg

Darksteel week: It makes for a risky alpha strike since you have to sacrifice all your creatures at the end of turn, but alpha strikes are inherently risky. May as well make sure you kill everyone. edhrec.com/cards/tears-... #edh #mtg #mtgcommander #commander #magicthegathering #mtgedh

Darksteel Week: In the right deck Hunger of the Nim can turn any body into a one-shot machine. Sorcery speed is for sure limiting, but 1B to give a creature potentially 10+ extra power is hard to ignore, and it's in just over 300 decks on EDHREC. edhrec.com/cards/hunger...

Mirrodin week: Leonin Abunas gives your artifacts hexproof, which is a tremendously useful ability in a deck running a ton of artifacts, and maybe more so in an equipment list. edhrec.com/cards/leonin...

Mirrodin week: Note that Lumengrid Sentinel doesn't say cast. An artifact entering triggers it. Making a bunch of Hangarback tokens? Tap all the stuff. In the right deck it's a house and it's only seeing play in about 1,300 decks. edhrec.com/cards/lumeng...

Mirrodin week: Playing a deck with some kind of +1 counter synergy? Then War Elemental can get out of hand FAST. It's in less than 6k decks, and the RRR casting cost can be a problem, but if you can deal with that it can get out of control. edhrec.com/cards/war-el...

Mirrodin week: Empyrial Plate is a really clean, efficient design that in the right deck can turn a creature into a one-shot machine. edhrec.com/cards/empyri...

Mirrodin week: Wail of the Nim is another infrequently-seen card from Mirrodin. It's an instant-speed way to dodge creature removal, maybe for your whole board, and it can also remove a bunch of little guys. Maybe both. edhrec.com/cards/wail-o...

Mirrodin week: Playing an enchantress or enchantress-adjacent deck with few or no artifacts? Then you might want to consider making everyone else play few or no artifacts, too. That just seems fair. edhrec.com/cards/hum-of...

Mirrodin week: We've reached our first modern frame set, and with it some cards whose design also feels modern, starting with Fatespinner. Whether you're playing some light stax or just want a value wizard, Fatespinner is very, very good. edhrec.com/route/?cc=Fa...

Scourge week: There's not a lot of ways to give all your zombies vigilance, but in a deck running things like decayed or with sac outlets Faces of the Past lets you untap all those attackers when a zombie dies. edhrec.com/cards/faces-...

Scourge week: A one-time Wound Reflection, Final Punishment can just delete people in the right deck like Alpharael, Stonechosen or Astarion, the Decadent. edhrec.com/route/?cc=Fi...

Scourge week: Playing an efficient green commander with evasion? Then One with Nature is a REALLY good ramp spell, and in Ivy, Gleeful Spellthief it's downright disgusting.

Scourge week: Yes this impacts everyone, so be careful when you use it as it can help your enemies too, but cards that let you keep your mana between phases are very powerful in a list built around abusing such effects. edhrec.com/route/?cc=Up...

"30-60 minutes"

Scourge week: For gameplay purposes on offense Treetop Scout is a flier, and in an elfball-style build or in a list like Edric, Spymaster of Trest a one-drop that has evasion is very useful even in today's meta. edhrec.com/route/?cc=Tr...

Scourge week: There are fourteen legendary clerics with black and white in their casting cost, two of which can be cast for free with Edgewalker, minus commander tax. It's not an auto-include or anything, but if you're playing any kind of cleric deck it's excellent. edhrec.com/route/?cc=Ed...

Scourge week: Want to pay 1 less for your soldiers? Want to buff them? Why not both, and why not both on a soldier? Daru Warchief has crept up to $2 due to never having a reprint, and because it remains an excellent include in any soldier list to this day. scryfall.com/card/scg/6/d...

Legions week: Playing wizards? 13,000+ people on EDHREC are, and if you're one of them Riptide Director can draw you a whole lot of cards every turn for 2UU with this fifty cent rare. edhrec.com/route/?cc=Ri...

Legions week: Gempalm Polluter is a straight up kill spell in a lot of go-wide zombie lists when cycled for BB. You're probably never going to cast it at the 5B cost, but being able to dome one person for lethal while swinging your zombie army at someone else is dynamite.

We're excited to share that EDHREC Crosswords are now LIVE. To see all the details, and to get started on the first puzzle, just head to the link below. And big shoutout to @wolfsrunphoto.com for bringing it to life. #EDHRECGames #EDHREC #EDH #Commander

Legions week: Playing kindred birds or clerics? I'm sorry. Still, this is a flying body that after blocking a beater can bring a pair of birds and/or clerics back from the yard to play. It's not amazing, but if you wanted amazing you wouldn't be playing birds and clerics. edhrec.com/route/?cc=Ce...

Legions week: Noxious Ghoul is a brutal one-sided board wipe in zombie decks, and despite seeing play in about 30k zombie lists that's probably not enough. edhrec.com/route/?cc=No...

Legions week: Withered Wretch is a nice bit of utility in a zombie or cleric deck, letting you surgically deal with other people's graveyard nonsense without it impacting your own graveyard nonsense. edhrec.com/route/?cc=Wi...
