This Is A Commander Channel

@UCS2-c6mJtLuKbxnv7zT610Q - 5.5K subscribers

Welcome to This is a Commander Channel where this is a Commander channel. We are all addicted to that cardboard crack of Magic: The Gathering and specifically the Commander format. We’re a casual group, not cEDH, but that’s not to say we don’t build powerful and tuned decks. We avoid building decks focused on tutors, counterspells, stax, and winning through combos. Instead, we go the route of battlecruiser decks with big splashy spells. We hope that you enjoy the content and learn about some cool cards you’ve never heard of before.
