Episode 427: 

🎙️This Week on the CommanderSmiths Podcast! 🎙️

This week we're diving into one of the most impactful land cycles ever printed for Commander... MDFC Lands! 🌎🔥

Modal Double-Faced Cards gave us lands that can be spells, spells that can be lands, and some of the toughest deckbuilding decisions in Magic.

But are they all worth playing?

In this episode we break down the MDFC lands and decide:

✅ Which MDFC lands are Commander staples
😳 Which ones are overrated
💀 Which ones just don't make the cut
🔥 Which decks want them most
🧠 How many MDFC lands you should be running

And because Wizards can never stop printing new cards...

✨ We also discuss the MDFC lands we'd love to see printed in the future!

Which effects deserve the MDFC treatment? Which colors need more help? And what designs would instantly become Commander staples?

💬 Let us know in the comments:
Which MDFC lands do you play the most, and what MDFC land would YOU like Wizards to make?

Episode 426: 

🎙️This Week on the CommanderSmiths Podcast! 🎙️

We've got a two-part episode this week! 😈🔥

First, we're checking out the latest additions to the Cats Are the Best Secret Lair series 🐱🍝. Three more drops have been revealed, and we're breaking down the cards, artwork, value, and whether these new feline-filled Secret Lairs are worth your hard-earned cash.

Then we dive into one of the biggest Commander discussions happening right now...

🏆 The Top 20 Commanders on EDHREC!

We're looking at the most popular commanders in the format and asking:

🤔 What bracket does this commander belong in?
🔥 Does your commander automatically push you into a higher bracket?
😳 Are some commanders stronger than their decklists suggest?
💀 Which commanders have the scariest reputations?

Can a commander alone determine the power level of your deck? Or does the 99 matter more?

Let us know where YOU think these commanders belong!

💰 What Is Break Point (BP)?
Break Point helps figure out how many drops you need to buy before one becomes "free."
Because let's be real — we all want that freebie drop for the shelf! 😎

How It Works:
1️⃣ Add up the lowest Foil + Non-Foil values.
2️⃣ Subtract fees, shipping, and the drop cost to find Net Profit.
3️⃣ Divide total profit by drop cost = your BP.

Example:

If a drop costs $40 and nets $80 → BP 2

If it nets $55 → BP 4

💡 Pro Tip: Prices often dip right after shipping but usually rebound (or climb higher) 10–16 months later. Patience = profit.

Episode 425: 

🎙️This Week on the CommanderSmiths Podcast! 🎙️

Rule 0 is supposed to solve everything in Commander… right? 😈

This week we’re diving into the exceptions to OUR Rule 0 and discussing the strategies and cards that can instantly change the feel of a Commander game.

Because let’s be honest… every playgroup has “those” topics 😂

In this episode we discuss:

🚫 Counterspells
💀 Infinite combos
🔍 Tutors
🌊 Board wipes / wraths
⏰ Extra turns
🌍 Land destruction
🧠 Discard strategies

Where do we draw the line?
What are we okay with?
And what tends to make Commander games less fun for our group?

This episode gets VERY opinionated 👀🔥

💬 What are YOUR Rule 0 exceptions?
