Episode 216 - Commander Month: A Day at the Beach

Postby Chewbaca X » Mon Feb 13, 2012 12:56 am

Welcome to the first show of Commander Month here on The Mana Pool! We're kicking it off with one of our long time listeners and constant source of good ideas, Daniel Beach. If you enjoyed Episode 214, he was the inspiration behind having the ACS guys on again. If you didn't enjoy it...blame Beach for that.

But because it's Commander Month, we've asked Beach to do an Out of the Deck Box for one of his decks, and he chose the one he's named Progenitalia and Friends. Back in Episode 192 I pulled my Progenitalia deck Out of the Deck Box, and it was fascinating to see just how incredibly different Beach's deck was from mine. That's probably because he's a better player than me, just so we're clear. If you want to check out either of these decks, you'll find a link on the next line down.

Beach's Progenitalia: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/progenit ... d-friends/
Chewie's Progenitalia: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/progenitalia/

We didn't stop with that though! We hit up the Random Card button on Gatherer until we bumped into a legendary creature and did a Story Circle! If you want to see the full list for that, it's right here:

And other than that, we did an old Mad Lib again, talked about the Rules Update, discussed the Event Decks, discussed briefly the results of the first DKA-ready SCG Open (which had the best name for a Legacy deck EVER) and mentioned the Super Bowl Halftime show and how much we love Betty White. We hope you enjoy!

Trevor G

Legendary Creature - Human Baby Child
Trample
3/3

Proper creature types included! I blame Anon for the repeated meme spam. X16 should really be the "references" episodes from now on. Ugh.. I'm sorry, guys, but Dubstep makes my ears and soul bleed.

Hipster Mike is too cool for the show now.

Final thoughts, Mike?

Well , I don't agree about the Clarion Ultimatum , you only need a right place for it . It is meant for Exalted heavy decks and it is supposed to be a finisher . Combo it with Rafiq and Jhessian Balmgiver , and rearch for a lot Exalted things - Finest Hour comes in mind :D ( I do love Bant ^^ )

(And "Go , go fly !" , i started crying from laughter on this one XD )
The Mimeoplasm goes omnomnom ...

There is a lot that this card doesn't say !

Those cards are amazing, especially Mike's Epic Beard. Although I can tell that the picture you used for Trevor is not actually him, this is because the background is a beach and not a partially destroyed city.

I hadn't considered that, probably best to play it safe.
