Commander ad Populum Ep 54 - Bi-Annual Update and Positive Look-Ahead

Welcome to another very special episode of Commander ad Populum. Commander for the people, by the people, for the people.In this week's Community section I reflect on the last six months and give an my bi-annual update on what's to come from Commander ad Populum. I hope everyone finds it encouraging and is as excited as I am for the next steps!The Technical section this week looks at mechanics that were introduced in the set Fifth Dawn. Sunburst and Scry. One forgettable, if not in a dedicated multi-color artifact strategy. The other, a now-evergreen mechanic.Today's set Retrospective highlights: Fifth Dawn! The final small set in the Mirrodin Block! With it's distinctly different feel than the two other sets in the block, this small set gives us plenty of Commander-playable cards.If you'd like to give me your thoughts on today's topics, hit me up on Twitter @CadPopCast.
