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.

Multifaceted Mill
Mill often connotes getting to the bottom of your opponents' libraries, but does that connotation keep us from looking at some of its other uses? Kyle guides a conversation with Andy into exploring a brief history of how mill came to be a part of the game and takes a look at the many ways decks and commander design are hooking into what mill can provide. Maybe next time you're up to other mechanical things with a deck, you can show off that you're into mill too, leaving your delighted friends to say, "Imagine that."
