The rules for commander feel pretty static and stable, but is there room for change? With the conversational buzz about the updates to the bracket system and the game changers came some allusion to possible changes to the rules governing commander. Nick joins for another Commander Theory Corner to drive discussion about the pros and cons of some possible changes. Whether it's hybrid mana, sideboards, or planeswalkers as commanders, Nick has the insights and elicits response from Andy and Kyle.

Card Concepts for Commander Damage
Concepts are one thing, but what about some cards. If you listened to the recent Anatomy of a Killer episode, you've probably been mulling over Andy's sub-archetypes for Voltron commander decks. With the concepts in hand, let's start thinking about the concrete cards that cover all bases. While the obvious cards may be out there, can we find some nuance in balancing on the line between being a killer and being killed in the game of EDH?

Before You Go | DSK, DFT, TDM, FIN
There's a ton of Magic products in the year 2025. So let's be sure to pause and get inspired by the not-too-distant past before we get into all our man spiders and element bending characters. Five Patreon supporting listeners are providing deck lists from Duskmourn, Aetherdrift, Tarkir: Dragonstorm, and Final Fantasy. Kyle takes Andy for a drive-by browsing of lists from each of the four recent sets to churn up some inspiration out of the 266 legends added to the collection of possible commanders, in the hopes of reminding us that there are plenty of deck ideas found when looking back.

House Rules Evolution | Therapy Session
While this is not a discussion of brackets, the brackets and game changers have provided the LCP play group with some tools to define a future evolution of what it looks like to sit down at our table with decks that fit the vibes of the group. As the Ragnarok dust has settled, Andy and Kyle talk about the space that tutors and game changers could possibly occupy in their group and envision what that may look like.
