Check Your Bulk: Recent Episodes
Lynn Frank
Bobbie-Christine and Lynn Frank explore Magic the Gathering's Commander / EDH through questions, conversations, and some choice picks hiding out in your bulk.
Do you always upgrade your precon? How often do you upgrade the precon without ever having played it? What ways have you seen people upgrade decks? What approaches have you used to upgrade? Also are you using the Precons to Crack out existing decks? Can you resist the perfect newly printed inclusion?
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?

What does your deck say about you? What would you do if your power was limitless? What design do you dream come to fruition? What patterns are you unable to escape?

Feeling effective in Magic's Commander isn't always about the splashy plays. Those first turn plays and powerful one drops can win you the games by making you more effective over each turn.

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.
