    Love this show
    I don’t play magic (I’ve played but lack math skills and in general am more of a tabletop nerd than tcg one) but have always loved the lore and art; and especially the color pie philosophy part of magic. So color me happily surprised when I found an exceedingly entertaining podcast on just that topic. The host is actually funny (I say it that way bc while many podcasters come from a comedy background their ability to make entertaining stuff with repeat listening ability is rare in my limited experience or for my taste in comedy), the guest are phenomenally passionate about their special interests and magic, and the general fun in the show have made it a regular rotation in the work podcast selection. Wanted to include a review from a less franchised listener that you don’t need to be a long time mtg player to appreciate this pod

    Miss Rachel, but loving the new episodes. Hope to see more color breakdowns and flavor focuses. Also the new logo is killer!

    Dan is killing it solo
    I miss Rachel and the pod was entertaining but these past 3 solo shorts have been phenomenal. Dan + Rachel was funny. Dan by himself produces elegant essays with deep insight into the game.

    Afraid of authority
    I thought this podcast was going to be about fellow commanders and our fears. Turns out it's about gathering magic and their orbs. That's good, too.
  • azbanarama
    I too get worried that all my friends will die, unfortunately I am not called the commander sphere.

    Funny and unique
    Far and away my favorite magic podcast. The conversations are unique but still tied to magic. Dan and Rachel are hilarious. And I will forever quote, “Sometimes you’re the tater, sometimes you’re the tatee.”

    Good but could be better
    I enjoy listening to the podcast and have done so for a couple of months. Overall I enjoy the wacky episodes, randomness and the prolonged investment into jokes. However I would suggest leaving out the rants about politics, business, etc. I understand it can be hard but I listen to this podcast for MTG content, not rants about business.

    Worst CDH podcast ever
    They defame people by calling them anti vax, when it’s not the case. Liars. The Covid vax is not necessary for everyone, only fat people and old people.

    The salt!!
    I saw some salty pigs in the reviews here and decided to rate and follow even if I don’t wind up listening lol. Mmmm look at that bacon cook haha.

    A Good Way to Learn About Fun
    I'm a very competitive Magic player. Before the pandemic, I would travel to large tournaments and try to qualify for the pro tour. In the MtG community online, I sometimes found people who claimed to be "casual" players disparaging me and my play experience. I really appreciate that while Rachel and Dan are 100% casuals, they are also 100% not jerks. They explain how to approach Magic from a perspective of maximizing everyone's enjoyment of the game without players having to kneecap themselves. I also really enjoy the sounds of cans of beer being opened next to the mic, and this podcast scratches that it REAL good.

    Best MtG Podcast
    This is definitely my favorite MtG EDH podcast (and I listen to way too many), and honestly one of my favorite podcasts overall. The two hosts Rachel and Dan are hysterical, engaging, and perfectly blend interesting content with also feeling like a casual hangout with friends. I would highly recommend also supporting them on Patreon as access to their Discord is more than worth it.
  • djrfenton
    One of the best edh podcast out there
    Dan and Rachel have maybe some of best edh insight out there. Come for the jokes and play philosophy, stay for the many many tangents. Great show
  • bardofthenorth
    Awesome!
    Love this podcast and the focus on Lasagna tier commander. Good chill listen.
  • TennesseTrace

    Silly personalities, so much fun, knowledgeable and entertaining.

    Disappointed
    I absolutely loved this podcast! Saw Rachel on game nights and started following on Spotify. I was disappointed to hear such hatred towards police officers. I am a cop and absolutely play magic. I love my job and I love helping people. But I see horrific things I wish I didn’t have to in order to help those people. Magic is where I come to get away from that and enjoy time with my friends and family. I respect your political beliefs. But please direct that kind of rhetoric at specific people who deserve it, and not just level at a whole group of people. I was bullied as a kid for looking different. My dream was to be a cop to help people who couldn’t help themselves and to stand up to that kind of thing. Hearing awesome people talk about the game I love so much and then take a random, flippant and unnecessary shot at people like me is just disappointing. And just so we’re clear, my scion of the ur dragon deck is my favorite. Cops 100% play dragons.
  • BradleyD19
    Garbage.
    Our policemen and policewomen don’t deserve raises?! I bet you two would be the first to call the police of you were involved in an incident. Funny thing is you two will sit there and degrade our police officers, but they would be the first to put their life on the line for yours. I've never really agreed with your podcast but I like M:TG content, so I stomached it. Not anymore.

    Great energy
    This is my favorite MTG podcast. I love the care and knowledge they take to the show and the game.
  • sydneyparrish
    So great!
    These two have amazing chemistry as a podcast duo and every episode makes me want more!!!! Love commander sphere.
  • BDJ mtg
    Funniest podcast in my feed
    These two are so funny! I love how every episode I have listened to has made laugh out loud, and I listened to them all! Please make more forever!
  • PleaseDoNothing2TheCook
    great show
    Love what they do and I have been inspired by the idea of lasagna-tier edh. The one issue I have is that there is a HUGE volume disparity between the two hosts. Either Dan’s voice is much too soft or Rachel’s is too loud.
  • Dutenater
    Just Chill Out and Play
    Decided to check this out after watching Rachel on Game Knights. This show has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts. A lighthearted take on commander. Just how I like to play. Rachel and Dan don’t take themselves or the game too seriously. A lot of players could learn from them.
  • Lnr386
    Easily my favorite!
    I look forward to this podcast every week, super funny and very entertaining! Give it a listen and you’ll be hooked like me!
  • eye sniff glue
    perfect!
    nothing quite captures the essence of casual magic & commander better than two funny people joking about cards and magic related content (with a sprinkling of serious subject matter). I love it! Thanks!
  • Chris_von_doom
    One of my new favorites
    I finally started listening after Rachel was a guest with Zack & Joe & I’m totally hooked. Hilarious, laid back take on edh I find refreshing. If you enjoy CCO or Legendary Creature, you’ll be right at home here
  • Dave#E
    Really Funny
    Definitely the best MTG podcast, probably ever.
  • Gruul Story Bro
    Finally!
    The lasagne recipe power level system us poor EDH players need.
  • SeaPainter
    I Hate Typing on my iPhone...
    ... which should be an indication of how much I like this podcast. This is a fun, casual EDH podcast. The hosts are talented, funny, professional comedians with such great chemistry, that my wife asked me if they’re a married couple (she was disappointed to learn that they’re not). If you play Magic, because you just enjoy “playing” Magic then I would highly recommend them.
  • FearBuddha
    EDH for the casual
    This is such a great podcast for those who play commander for fun. Lots of jokes and fun while talking commander
  • Solemn Token
    Exactly my kind of commander
    “Flogged in the balls” “Smell Papa’s hair” “Killing too many hippos ... truly a tragedy.” And other gems.
  • AmCracken
    Very good podcast about chairs
    and Magic
  • ChaosTheory32
    Very good!
    A great EDH podcast!
