MTG Commander Smiths Podcast

🚨 LIVE 🚨 Hidden Gems in Commander! 💎 Underplayed Cards You NEED to Try! - #389

🎙️ This Week on the CommanderSmiths Podcast! 🎙️
We’re shining a light on the hidden gems of Commander — the underused and underplayed cards that deserve way more love than they get. 💎 Sometimes the strongest tech flies under the radar, and we’re pulling together a list of cards that could make a huge impact in your decks but rarely see the table. Expect a mix of spicy utility, clever synergies, and a few “wait… why doesn’t anyone play this?!” moments.
 
The Commander Smiths want to talk about some cards they feel should be played more along with a #StumptheSmithSavant that Adam literally can't read. Enjoy!

🚨 LIVE 🚨 Stop Playing THESE Cards! The Most Overused Cards in Commander! - #388

🎙️ This Week on the CommanderSmiths Podcast! 🎙️
We’re tackling one of the spiciest topics in Commander… the most overused cards in the format. 💥 You know the ones — the staples that show up in almost every deck. But are they really must-plays... or are we just leaning on them out of habit?
We’re breaking down which cards we think are everywhere, why they’re so popular, and when you might want to skip them for something more fun (or more powerful 👀). Expect hot takes, laughs, and maybe a few shots fired at some “sacred cows” of EDH 😂🔥

Episode 387: 
🎙 This Week on the CommanderSmiths Podcast 🎙
This week we’re going deep into Magic’s most infamous vault — the Reserved List. 💎 We’re talking about which cards we wish could be reprinted, why they deserve another shot at seeing play, and what changes it could bring to Commander and the wider MTG community.

The Commander Smiths talk about the newest Festival in a box announcement that will be on sale August 18. We also have the finals announcement on the best basic land art. the main segment is which expensive cards do we wish could be reprinted to play with more. Enjoy!

🤫 MAGIC PASSWORD: A MTG Trivia Game - Episode 1 Vol 1

🎉 Welcome to the FIRST episode of Magic Password! 🤫🔑Think you know Magic: The Gathering? Time to prove it!
Magic Password is our brand-new, fast-paced MTG trivia showdown where teams go head-to-head guessing secret Magic words using only one-word clues. It's chaotic... it's fun... and it’ll put your Magic brain to the test! 🧠💥
 
🚨 LIVE 🚨 Episode Here
https://youtu.be/PqpLA7BvZ_c
 
🔥 How to Play:
Two teams of two
One teammate sees the Magic Password (a single MTG-related word)
The team with the lower score decides who goes first
Players take turns giving one-word clues to help their teammate guess the word
Guess it on the first try? That’s 10 points!
Miss it? The other team steals with a new clue for fewer points (down to 5 max)
No gestures, no gibberish—just real words and a ticking clock!
First team to 80 points WINS! 🏆
💡 Inspired by KFAN’s Password segment here in the Twin Cities... and a huge shoutout to Tad for making the word lists and hosting this thing like a boss 🙌
