Episode 217 - Commander Month: You Don't Know Jack!

Postby Chewbaca X » Fri Feb 17, 2012 6:32 pm

It finally happened! Yes, we finally remembered to grab none other than Jack Antonio Sabato De La Hoya Other Name Lacroix to guest host! And let me just tell you, this guy is a wealth of information. We talked briefly about the the latest SCG Open results, and Jack gave us some of his insight there. With his help, we also covered a wide variety of Commander topics, such as the importance of versatility, misconceptions about the format, proper threat density, the number of lands and mana rocks you should play, politics, and who knows what else. Well if you listen, you'll know what else!

But that's not all! We did a Story Circle! If you want to check out the full result list from that, there's a link right below this paragraph. And of course we can't have an episode of The Mana Pool without a requisite amount of random nonsense, right? Of course not. It's there. Trust me on this. Would I lie to you? About the important stuff, that is. The answer I'm looking for here is no, by the way. Jeez.

Love the timing of this episode, since I just built my first EDH deck and wasn't sure what the land:spell ration is typically. Then BOOM! New episode with land counts. Perfect.

Great show dorks. Even as someone who has almost no interest in EDH this was a very entertaining show. I loved the format discussion with Jack as a lot of what was said is true for regular multiplayer as well as EDH.

I also loved the huge shout-out (obviously), and I would like to re-state what was said on the show: If you read my article please go comment on the forums, tell me what you did or did not like, if there is something you want to see in the future etc.

I'm calling in to complain about the lack of mention of me in the show, considering I've been bugging you guys to get Jack on the show for months.
