CommanderCast Ep 500

PODCASTS – CommanderCast

Hello everyone and welcome to CommanderCast Episode 500! The time has come. We have reached 500 episodes and it’s time to close up shop. One final ride before we go off into the sunset. We here at Commandercast.com would like to say a huge Thank You to all of the listeners for being here to listen to us over the years. Today Mark and Adam spend their time thanking everyone that help make this show fun and worth doing.

All that, plus our usual interstitial fodder, and (for one last time) all you have to do is Click the IB!!!

Big thanks to:

Interstitial fodder:

• Something, something movies!
  • Adam watches Black Adam, Mark finally checks out Silver Linings Playbook.
• Something, something Video Games! (mostly Final Fantasy)
  • Squad 51 vs. the Flying Saucers
  • FFXVI trailer, future Final Fantasies
• Something, something comic books!
  • Junji Ito Secret Lairs
  • Obligatory X-Men segment
• Something, something punk rock!
  • Adam returns to Jersey for a NoFX/Descendents show. It was really good.
• Something, something FOOD!
  • Best bagel toppings?

Strategy

Our last “meta-phor.” Long live the bad puns.

Adam’s hottest takes: There is no strategy, there is no meta.

Technology

Final sign-off: what would we want to be next for Magic or EDH in general?

Adam:

• Abolish reserve list
• Abolish banned list
• Let the people dictate the game not the other way around
• Anarchy in the UK

Mark:

• Fix Arena/create a good digital version of Commander? (Maybe that’s a genie wish?)
• Stop it with the special booster nonsense
• Buffs over Nerfs! (Just try to keep that shit evenly distributed)
