Which planeswalker-commander should I build around? We continue to encourage the design and development teams to produce planeswalker commanders so that we know they come out fair and balanced cards.

That the folks in R&D are making some means that you’ll have really nice options (plus Brawl) and we don’t have to take an unnecessary and slightly awkward step which would have ripple effects. Where it’s relevant, I’ll bring up playtest memories and notes.īefore we get too deep into the set, which features some planeswalkers which can be your commander, I’ll tell you (since folks have already asked) we still have no plans to make all planeswalkers into commanders. I should add an again there, since we on the Commander Rules Committee got some time with early versions of these cards last year.

We’ll go through it all by color, much the same as a traditional review, but I’m going to hit every new card in the set that I can’t wait to play with. While in a future episode I’ll specifically cover the decks ( the full lists are already available), today we’re going to discuss the new cards produced for the set-and there’s much to talk about. The decks are saucy right out of the box, and the individual cards will make their way over to your existing decks faster than you can say “I tap my commander for. It’s easy to get excited about new things simply because they’re new, but I’m not being hyperbolic when I tell you that Commander 2018 is the best set ever made specifically for the format.
