Let's see what we learned and what you all are doing. Whether it's the big splashy spells, or a chain of small spells, a deluge on your turn, or waiting for the right moment to spring the right spell, you all are doing it. All across the color pie--though you all seem to be partial to red--spells are slinging. Follow along for all the cool tech and ideas you listeners are bringing to the table.

Who needs to use their turn when the luxury of timing is on their side? Some may think of the classic spellslinger as annoyingly taking their turn on someone else's turn--check the last episode to explore why that doesn't need to be the case. In this episode, Andy gets into the reasons for delaying actions until the needful moment, how to keep that from becoming a pitfall, and how this stance can be leveraged in a variety of deck concepts.

We talked about the mana value composition of a spellslinger deck, now let's get into thinking about the deck's posture. Often times we can craft decks and we let the archetype and cards dictate whether we are aggressively playing cards or waiting for the right moment to strike. Andy explores how we can be more deliberate with the choice and gets into examples of how spellslinger can be constructed to aggressively play its cards, rather than waiting for specific moments.

Andy gave the overview of low mana value spellslinger last episode. Let's get into the high mana value. The distinction may be lost on some and obvious to others, but the capacity of low mana value and high mana value spellslinger decks is worth noting. Andy takes a dive into the tools, textures, and payoffs that can serve as the reason for sitting in the School of High Mana Value.

In classic LCP fashion, let's add nuance to the spellslinger archetype. With years of casting spells and an upcoming visit Strixhaven scheduled, Andy sets up the spellslinger series by delineating two schools of spellslinger decks: the low mana value and the high mana value. With the notion in mind of the two strategies functioning like their own schools of the archetype, Andy plumbs the theoretical depths of why low mana value spellslinger decks require their own unique approach and assessment of valuable tools.

We've been showcasing enchantment ideas or the whole month. Your turn. Kyle and Andy with the help of Nick from Commander Theory have been exploring what is possible with enchantments over the last three episodes and looking at how the thematic concepts have expanded in design scope and play possibilities. Now we turn to the Patreon supporting listeners for their deck ideas to see how you've been using enchantments to play EDH.

Like any EDH archetype, tools and resources for enchantress have changed with the expansion of the game. Let's explore that. Kyle brings Andy into an exploration of what cards existed in the enchantress realm a la 2018--a time when commander was starting to get some dedicated tools designed for the archetype and that were generally expanding the type's capabilities. He then compares that against what is surfacing to the top on EDHREC today. Kyle shares a few illustrating deck concepts for both the 2018 era and what can be done now.

Last episode we explored how we can be thoughtful about applying an archetype to our enchantment decks, let's now get into thinking directly about those win conditions. Nick of Commander Theory fame joins to take a deep-dive look into a variety of ways beyond simple aggro that we might direct our enchantress themed decks towards a deliberate win. From animating our enchantments to combos and Voltron, he walks Kyle and Andy through a set of pros and cons with illustrative examples along the way.

Turns out that despite Kyle's frequent love and mention of enchantments, he hasn't done an episode on them in a while. With the length of the podcast's history, Kyle takes Andy back to some ideas discussed in 2018 and opens up discussion about the seismic changes to how the card type can be played in commander. Andy opens the analogy of liminal spaces in Magic and the two take a look at how different enchantment archetypes may lead us to create liminal spaces in our brews.

We've seen the legends. What can we slot into the 99 of all our decks? Commander Theory Nick joins with Kyle to explore all the cards listeners took note of from the set and add in a few of his own. Let's explore the possibilities. Get your shopping cart ready, there are plenty of cards for commander players to take note of.

Faeries, and treefolk and kithkin, oh my! So many creature types and so much mechanical flavor that has long been favored and debated from the plane of Lorwyn. What could they possibly have in store for us with the long-awaited return to the plane. Let's take a dive into all of the new legends in this set. We have listener reviews for all 21, complete with their homework and well-crafted thoughts and our added only sometimes valuable additions.

Last year the LCP church did some wild things as a group and individuals, so what could this year of Magic bring with some intention. After a year of taking apart entire rosters of decks and trying to figure out our group's relationship with the bracket system, Andy and Kyle are thinking about what they want to get out of their experience with this hobby that brings us all together this year. From maintaining a roster, to finding the sweet spot of deck construction, the group interaction, and more, let's talk about what's on our minds going into 2026.

We've talked over the last few months about different ways to build around commander damage. Your turn! We're turning the air time over to your ideas. Let's get one last discussion in for what can be distilled into the classic Voltron, the aspirant, the duelist and the warlord and take a peak at eight different listener decks that have been playing with the embodiment of these ideas.

Nick Returns! We had more to say last we talked about turning downsides into upsides. And since Kyle is lost in the desert somewhere, Andy and Nick sneak in an episode before the end of the year! Look, you don't have to do anything of what we talk about on this episode, okay? You have freedom to ignore everything we suggest doing. You probably should just ignore us actually.

We've talked about the theory. Andy's talked about the types of cards to look for. Now he's putting it all together into a handful of decks. Whether you're thinking about the classic Voltron, the aspirant, the duelist, or the warlord, Andy takes us into the weeds to see what it looks like to try and use the idea of classes of commander damage decks to ensure that each card slot is efficiently doing the right job for the deck.
