The sky is falling? Wait, no it’s just the massive ban announcement and the demise of the Unofficial official Commander Rules Committee (RC). Bruce and Pete discuss all that has occurred in the last two weeks for the Commander format. As the wizarding world was swept into utter chaos, Bruce and Pete could only watch with apprehension. The dust has settled and the guys are looking to the future now that Wizards of the Coast has received the Rules mantle.    Command Zone statement: https://youtu.be/bvbgIExsvp0?si=chgq33_Dc1YoavGo Tolarian Community College video: https://youtu.be/51o5tSy1C70?si=0l5T46FiZHR3pSOc   Sign off:   The Lotus Council Discord: https://discord.gg/RrYqAtVwG3   Email: [email protected]   Twitter: @epicexpcast     Now of Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/epicexpcast/   AND Threads! @[email protected].     Deck Profile on Moxfield: username: theepicexperimentpodcast or all our lists are also on  thelotuscouncil.com   Hosting Platform: Podbean, Itunes, Google Play,   thelotuscouncil.com, AND now on

The guys adjust their ratings for the new insurance plan Saheeli has brought forth to Kaladesh. They explore recent and old mechanics of the game through Mark Rosewater’s Storm Scale to better understand why they are getting charged so much this fiscal year. They debate which mechanics they believe are beneficial, ones that deserve banishment, and ones that need more love. What is a Vehicle without its mechanic?

Our Planeswalkers really need a better adjustor. So they decided to make a support group to talk about ways they somehow have survived a rash of stupid decisions.     A horde of the undead, a giant dragon that likes sushi, two mechanical brothers with daddy issues… and a crazy ex-girlfriend who rage quits after not drawing her combo.    It would be really rad if we learned how to survive the mass extinction event that could be coming to our plane any day now (Freaking Eldrazi…) We couldn’t write a survival guide in time because of the giant rift…so this is all you’re going to get…  Connect with us on Social Media The Lotus Council Discord: https://discord.gg/RrYqAtVwG3   Email: [email protected]   Twitter: @epicexpcast     Now of Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/epicexpcast/   AND Threads! @[email protected].     Deck Profile on Moxfield: username: theepicexperimentpodcast or all our lists are also on  thelotuscouncil.com   Hosting Platform: Podbean, Itunes, Google Play,   thelotuscouncil.com, AND now on Amazon

We are returning to Ravnica where politics reigns supreme. The Ten Guilds are vying for control of the plane…and other syndicates around the multiverse are watching.
