thanks for putting this out there, I'm planning on going to the prerelease but I've never played commander so I had no idea what kinds of cards to prioritize in the draft
Super helpful. Your reasoning behind each of your tips is always insightful and easy for me to understand. I am not a commander player so I didn’t look at any of the cards before going to the prerelease a few hours ago. Simply just listening to this podcast while driving to the prerelease I was able to soak up crucial info and use it to draft and build my deck. I would say I am an average skilled player but with the advice from this channel I get boosted to that above average zone. This makes FNM infinitely more enjoyable because I am able to focus on the positives of each set and avoid silly mistakes or traps. Thank you!
Awesome video breakdown, Alex! Going to the 50th year anniversary of DnD at my shop tomorrow and this helped immensely. Been considering covering commander on my new channel, too... but I'm a drafter at heart.
Woohoo, thanks for doing this. I came of your Stream where you asked if there is interest and I thought your conclusion was that there is no audience. Glad you did it. What a pleasant surprise.
Thanks for the video Alex! just a little note tho, I believe Black Market Connections is actually part of the precon decks and not something you can get on the main set (since the set number goes above the normal set card size)
Thanks for doing this, Great vid! I think a lot of spike limited players could learn a lot from trying out Commander, a fun way to interact with magic. Feels more like a board game.
Just came back to this and going for one now and never played the set before.. i guess just open minsc and boo and GG? Thanks for the heads up! Great content as ever
Hey Alex, thanks for the vid! Just wanted to ask if you're gonna also make a vid about 1v1 baldurs gate draft, since the next imited arena play-point-tournament-thingy is gonna be a baldurs gate draft.
While I know you said you weren't deep-diving into the archetypes, I think you skipped over Black-White too much. Rather than lifegain it's archetype is actually a form of 'revolt'.

I asked TH-cam and a lot of people here wanted it!

Oooh totally right! My bad!

I probably won't do any drafts of this set, but kudos for doing this 👏
Wont play it either. I just enjoy listening to Alex explain Magic.
At least speaking as a big drafter who doesn't play commander much, this was helpful and pretty succinct. Thanks!

Absolutely! I’ll be treating that like a normal draft set, set review and all
One thing you did mention was you just get a Faceless one, but it takes a common slot so it would need to be drafted.
Edit: I was wrong
it doesnt need to be drafted, they work the same way a basic land does in limited
Thanks for clarification

Whoops! You're right
isnt black market connections a precon exclusive card?
Yep, was my bad!
Don’t forget to bring beers or snacks for the other players. You got to start to politics battle as soon as the parking lot.
