Kyle takes a dive into the far too broad realm of +1/+1 counters as a commander deck theme. Despite the presence of the size gaining counters in most colors, Kyle and Andy take a look at the color combos primed to take advantage of counters. They also explore the commander best suited to abuse +1/+1 counters. If you’re using +1/+1 counters in your commander deck, it may be a good time to stop cultivating mass and start harvesting! Big fatties may prove less fruitful than combos and synergies. Listed to find out how Kyle and Andy are taking mass cultivating, +1/+1 counter hogging fiends and harvesting big benefits. Take action before your deck gets type II diabetes. Here are the resources that Andy used as he gathered info for this episode: The intro/outro beats this episode are by the Home.

That’s right, we’ve been podcasting for almost four years and still can’t pronounce Magic cards to anyone’s satisfaction. So we’re here with the linguists to see if we can unscientifically vindicate ourselves and justify our ignorance, apathy, and regional accents. Don’t listen to this one if you need real Magic: the Gathering knowledge. There is none to be had. But hey, we all know that’s not why you listen to us in the first place. ------------------- Patreon:  YouTube:  Twitter: @legend_creature ------------------- Intro and outro music artists vary each episode, but comes courtesy of the sexy souls of the following artists: Home –  Protector 101 –  Dan Terminus –  Silver Richards –

It's time for another series! Kyle and Andy will be spending a few episodes talking about some popular deck themes and some of the core driving principles in how commander players take advantage of and have fun with those themes. This week, Andy takes us into the bowels of his jank-ass pursuit of artifact doom-machines. Do you ever just want to build weird shit that nobody seems to understand when you play commander? Do you feel like you're explaining how bilateral kelilactirals to knuckle-dragging neanderthals when you realize you've won the game? Well, this is the episode for you. Listen as Andy talks about the commanders to use for an artifact themed deck and takes a deep dive into the wonky combos and interactions you can build when you go the artifact route.

It may not be beyamacoytl, but the collective minds of a few listeners can certainly combine to deliver a set of decks worth some attention.

Time for another therapy session. Kyle and Andy discuss what happens when a deck was made to be fun, gets hate and before you know it your play group finds itself in a Cuban missile crisis.

What does your deck building process look like? The motivations and desires that go into building decks range all over the place. From counter-building for that a$$hole at your LGS, to a niche combo that gets you off, to that sweet new legend with your name on it. Once you've got a commander picked, how do you go about filling in your 99? Join us as Kyle gives away the secret to his everlasting gobstopper. He explores some of the subjective questions that guide his commander and card picks, why he thinks we all benefit from netdecking resources, and how he puts online tools to use to fill in his deck. Andy chips in his 2 cents to complete the venn diagram of Legendary Creature Podcast deck building methodology.

Are you here for the Showstopper? I think we saw that a$$hole wasting his time flipping coins on the Transguild Promenade. Judith? Maybe. But, really we’re the only divas here.   Join Andy and Kyle as they take the guild series to the Blood Crypts in search of Rakdos commanders steeped in enough gory glory to entertain us all. What does the Cult of Rakdos have to offer? As we journey toward Rix Maadi, our hipster hosts take a quick look at Judith.

To burn or not to burn? That is the question. If you're looking to burn people in commander, this is the episode for you. Andy and Kyle discuss the niche that mono-red occupies in EDH and look to find out if they've got commanders that can go the distance. Andy takes on the new Etali, Primal Storm from Rivals of Ixalan. This mono-red dino is headed to the bank to see if you've transferred anything into his account. Find out what Andy is doing to make for a chaotic explosion of stolen wealth and turning opponents into comatose subservients. Kyle then dives into an older, perhaps forgotten legend in Ashling the Pilgrim. He explores how you can take advantage of this commander that has an itch to dial the third number of 911. Do you really want to be the last straw that convinces Ashling to set the building on fire. Check out our deck lists on our tappedout page: Be sure to support Protector 101.

This week we’re going to fulfill a wish for some smitten EDH player via the Make a Wish Foundation. For any of you that need to really stick it out in front of your playgroup, let’s talk about commanders that tutor stuff right out of your library. Kyle and Andy discuss the reputation and possibilities with tutor commanders. Kyle then gets into Sisay, Weatherlight Captain and a listener’s toolkit build.

Since WotC put out some new starter decks for commander players, we’ve been thinking about this concept a lot. What is a starter deck’s purpose? How can they be used? Who are they for?

How do you feel about netdecking? Are you mad as hell that people are getting their deck ideas from the internet?! Do you have the spirit of Howard Beale prodding you to the window to scream, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take this netdecking any more!" Or... do you feel that netdecking is simply a good tool for building decks? Getting decks lists or ideas from the web is often a topic of discussion, and it came up on discussion boards recently when Adam Styborski wrote about what the data from EDHRec shows about card usage. Check out his article . There are cards that are obvious inclusions when we are building a commander deck. Then there are those cards that we maybe don't naturally think about without some online help. Andy and Kyle take a look at a few cards in each color that maybe aren't the most used, but that are hard to deal with cards and come up frequently enough in netdeck references that you probably see them regularly. Andy then gives us some good ways to deal with those cards, so that we can all be ready to deal with netdecked ideas. We're super grateful that Home lets us use his sweet beats.

Whether it’s Jackie Treehorn’s thugs, a Cromulon, or a Goblin from Palano demanding things from you, it’s good to be on top. You just might end up with an extra look at things not meant to be seen. Join us as Andy explains how an exploration took him from seeing if lantern control with Circu, Dimir Lobotomist at the helm works and landed him on a unique build for Grenzo.

When a player and their commander come unhinged and they’re awash with cards, promising to nuke your whole game, how do you learn to stop worrying and love the bomb?

Time to revisit the mono-color series. We’re taking a dive into our 2018 series where we covered the colors of Magic, what they are about, and shared some brews for the colors. Nick Beatman from Commander Theory joins Kyle and Andy to take a deep dive into white.

What is it about Simic? It's just so easy for blue and green to combine forces and realize their plans. It's almost as if they're fueled by extra body parts, virile with the force of a Gentleman Bronco.   Well, we're diving back into the guilds as Ravnica Allegiance rolls out. This week we're exploring the identity of Simic. And unlike the Simic with their extra appendages, Andy tries to build around Vanifar with one arm behind his back. Did he find a good 75% place to land with the so-called Birthing Pod-mander?   Kyle then wraps up the episode by trying to wrest Arixmethes from watery slumber.

Why don’t you lay down on your couch and join us for a therapy session. Andy talks out his recent foray into aggro strategies using Shu Yun, the Last Airbe… uh… Silent Tempest, and his hopes to build around Sammut, Voice of Dissent. As a player whose style leans towards instants and sorceries, Andy explores with Kyle why he struggles to be comfortable with aggro and illuminates three key things any commander deck has to draw from to win.

Kyle and Andy continue their series talking about the commanders that have had tons of success in their play group. Andy goes musician and plays a deathly song with Yisan, the Wanderer Bard. They’re no Simon & Garfunkel, but this deck has a penchant for finding the brown note. 8 of 10 dentists say you’ll shit your pants. If you’re looking for a relatively budget deck that is highly competitive, look no further than Andy’s build for Yisan. Andy walks us through each verse that Yisan can play to simply charge at a win. He also lays out how you can protect your game plan by playing some of the Yisan verses a little differently. Check out Andy’s deck on (). Music this episode is by the artist Dan Terminus.

"Hi my name is Kyle. I'm a Boros-aholic." Yup. There's one  in every group and they get together in BA meetings, musing about how they wished they were just Bad Ass, not Boros-aholics Anonymous. You'll find Kyle and Arnold Schwarzenegger sitting in a circle with the others. The Boros-aholics tell their stories of how they were taught to trust the enigma of steel. They'll talk of dashed dreams, where they poised to crush their enemies and hear the lamentations of their women. But then they chose Boros.

Uuuuunnnnnghhhhhhh!!!!! Aaahhhhh….. Kyle and Andy have decks that aren’t going as planned. Is it time to just scrap these disappointments? No! It’s time get up and break some friends with edited decks. Andy and Kyle take a look at a couple of their decks and assess whether or not they can be competitive and how these decks can be tweaked to maximize their potential. Andy takes us through what went wrong with Shu Yun, the Silent Tempest deck and his spell-slinger build. Taking a cue from strengths and other areas of possibilities, Andy lays out a new take on his deck that has the potential for greater stability and more victories. Kyle goes through the weaknesses he has found in playing Licia, Sanguine Tribune with a companionate upkeep into lifegain and pressure build. He explores an alternative theme that surfaced in some of his more powerful synergies and explains how his deck can pivot to more wholly rely on a faster and more reliable strategy.

Dank is defined as disagreeably damp, musty, and typically cold. And enchantress Atraxa is indeed disagreeably damp, musty, and cold. Kyle spends the episode weaving between the enchantress theme and applying the theme's principles to his Enchantraxa deck for the Atraxa Bowl at GP Vegas. She truly is a Dankchantress. Check out Kyle's Atraxa Bowl list here (not to be confused with his I Hate Atraxa list): We also make reference to a Karametra deck popularized on Game Knights.

Andy closes out our mono-color deck series by offering a clever deck that could be piloted by either Kothophed, Soul Hoarder or Ob Nixilis, Unshackled.

Fun is such a subjective experience. Everyone one of us is a Goldie Locks when we sit down at the commander table.

It’s been a minute since we have done a review of new legal commanders.

We’re coming at you with our favorite yum yucking series! It’s been a while since we’ve taken a popular commander and told the madding crowd enough is enough, but let’s take a look at The Ur-Dragon. Kyle and Andy discuss why the popular legend has such an unrelenting stranglehold on dragon tribal decks. From examining the capacity of the tribe to carry on without all the staples of every color, the new legends available, the gross price of The Ur-Dragon, and digging into a variety of decks, hopefully, there’s a compelling case to put that dragon into your collection binder for good.

Andy and Kyle engage in a little exercise to see if they can make decks using a couple of the new Commander 2018 legends that are more focused and meet the value of the precon decks. Can they do it?

Just like people, some commanders are a little too interested in death for comfort. So what do you do when you’ve chosen to bring a psycho like Kelsien, the Plague to a dinner party? Join us as Andy explores the joys and pitfalls of having a commander like Kelsien and also brings up the idea of bringing a more modest, but just as lethal alternative to the party in the likes of Kumano, Master Yamabushi.

Kyle and Andy continue exploring decks ideas for legendary creatures from the recently released Hour of Devastation. Andy explains his long standing love for burn decks and his desire to have a commander deck that is built to burn. His wait is over now that a certain lazotep covered terminator has arrived. Neheb can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear! And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead! Andy gives a deck tech for how to build a burn version of a Neheb commander deck. He explores effective ways to do damage and use Neheb's ability to cash in for loads of mana for big burn spells. Kyle then dives into a riddle: how do you build a mono-blue sphinx deck? He deck techs a sphinx deck with Unesh, Criosphinx Sovereign at the helm. He notes that with Unesh, you can capitalize on the diet fact or fiction—fact or sphinxion—that comes with casting sphinx spells. But because it's mono-blue, there is a dearth of sphinxes available to fill out the strategy. He then techs some sub-strategies that can be used to build a highly interactive deck where the true riddle is how to win. Can Unesh steal another player's win con?

Hey Garrett, buddy! We're responding to your question. We decided to devote an episode to talking about the dude in your play group that's dedicated to winning with lame infinite combos or sniping games after being a non-threat until it was too late. In this episode, Kyle and Andy dive into their experiences with a variety of difficult to deal with players. From the guy that tries to snipe games with simple combos like Exquisite Blood and Sanguine Bond, to the dude that can't take a hint to improve his deck, right up to the guy that's just kind of an asshole, Kyle and Andy have dealt with it. They talk about how you can handle those unsavory characters that come to your commander table. They also shed some light on how to manage the culture of your playgroup so that everyone can keep having fun. Do you have questions for Andy and Kyle?

Damn there are a lot of cards for EDH players that come to us from Dominaria! Andy and Kyle talked a whole bunch of Dominaria after the leak, because there was just a ton of stuff leaked. And considering the impact this set has on our format, how could they not talk about it. But here's the official review. Andy and Kyle break down the legendary creatures that stand out as competitive or fun new commanders. They also talk other cards that we could see make a debut in the format. If you're a commander player, you need to pay attention to Dominaria.

So you've got yourself some new commanders from the Commander 2017 set, eh? Well what are you gonna do with your fancy new cards? Andy and Kyle were supposed to come to the table with two different approaches to building a Licia, Sanguine Tribune deck. Andy concedes his idea didn't pan out. Kyle then talks about how Licia demands a very particular set of life gain spells to ensure that her steep mana cost can be overcome. He also shares his approach to including a pressure suite, so that Licia can be used to help towards a win rather than be the only way to win. Andy takes over from there and dives into his build for Mairsil, the Pretender. He illustrates several key creatures and artifacts that you want to get into the cage for Mairsil. He then goes through his plan to make sure that he takes full advantage of Mairsil's game of pretend.

Do you have friends? Do you want to keep your friends? Yeah? Well, you probably better just wait for the next episode then, because this won't help you gain any friends. Unless you're a spy... maybe you need to deal with an insufferable king. Well, regardless of why you stay, whether you're not interested in keeping your friends or you and the Black Rose are plotting against Brago, Kyle and Andy will break down Kyle's Brago Stax deck. Kyle will tell you he didn't build Brago with stax originally, but power corrupts. Kyle and Andy dig into how Brago maximizes value for basic things like card draw and ramp and then turns that into on oppressive board state that is difficult to overcome. (http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/kyles-brago-know-the-definition-of-sovereignty/) The dark beats this episode are by Dan Terminus. The song is Rust Titan from The Darkest Benthic Division.

We know, in a Cyber Monday malaise, you charged up your credit card buying what you thought were the perfect gifts for all your friends. Now you realize they don't want that limited edition Daenerys Targaryen yoga mat with Jon Snow's face printed in the middle of it. Nor do they want the companion dragon scale mug for their chia seed green drinks. And the fart-o-meter to prove that their farts do stink was just a bad idea. Never fear! We've got the perfect gift for your play group! Come to the EDH table with your brand new group hug deck! Join us as Kyle explores the pitfalls of group hug decks, explains what really can make a group hug deck fun.

Are you looking to get on the right side of the plague gods from Hour of Devastation? Kyle and Andy bring Cody in from their local play group to talk about The Scarab God. He breaks down his mill, wheel, and steal strategy and the key components he feels you need to enjoy this Nicol Bolas inspired zombie infestation, without using infinite combos. Andy then dives into his build for The Locust God. But wait.... shhh... don't tell Niv-Mizzet! Andy doesn't want the Firemind finding out about Andy's sudden but inevitable betrayal. Andy explains the power creep that we are seeing with this deck and how potent it can be. He also gets into how he planned for the deck to utilize its combos to ensure victory in a variety of ways, circumventing fog effects and pillow forts. Here's Cody's deck list: And here's Andy's deck list: We had a little change up for music this episode. We love the artist Home and you'll hear more from him in the future.

Have you tried out EDHREC’s “View Similar Commander” tool? Go check it out. Kyle takes Andy into a conversation about ways that it is useful to find and explore commanders comparable to the ones you are brewing. They then gives the EDHREC tool a spin to see how good it is at offering useful comparisons. As a side quest, Andy looks to see if the quest for viewing comparable commanders can find him a new mono-black commander that fits the experience he’s looking for.

Have you been maligned? Does it feel like you're alone and everything has been rigged against you. Deep down, do you know you're better than everyone else? If that describes you, you're either Macho Man Randy Savage or the pilot of a mono-white commander deck. Andy and Kyle are here to help you be the cream that rises to the top. Their highly unanticipated mono-white episode explores the space that mono-white occupies in commander. Kyle techs a Heliod, God of the Sun deck and explains the combos that you'll need to go the distance with this surprisingly good, yet forgotten commander. Andy shares a couple different perspectives on Eight-and-a-Half-Tails. He first explains the hate bears route that our friend AP provided. Andy then explores a more defensive and opportunistic build that let's your opponents play, just not at your expense. Check out our decklists on our tappedout page: Be sure to support Protector 101.
