I am a father, teacher, cuber and EDH fanatic. My joy is in Casual and Limited formats, though I dip a toe into Constructed when I find something fun to play. I play less than I want to and more than my schedule should really allow. I can easily be reached on Twitter @WordOfCommander.

Post-Credits Of The Double Feature

I know it’s a little premature to be talking about ‘after the double feature’ when we’re so close to getting Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty previews, but we’re going to be on a very short window for the Double Feature cards. There is a preview event at stores on January 21, and the cards are officially on sale on the 28th. Neon Dynasty previews are going to overshadow that event pretty badly, and the prerelease is February 11, with full sales happening on February 18. That’s just three weeks between the sets!

It helps a lot that we already know what’s in Double Feature, and can use the Midnight Hunt and Crimson Vow cards as a guideline for what is likely worth buying.

What I’m Doing Differently In 2022

Last week, I shared with you the things I did right and wrong during 2021. So given that it’s New Year’s Eve, here’s the things I’m going to do differently.

My Best and Worst of 2021

This year, with the pandemic raging, Magic had one of its most popular years ever. Commander is bigger than ever, thanks to the genius of the format and the willingness of people to play however they can: separated by six feet, via Spelltable, wrapped in bubble wrap, etc. 

As a result of prices going up, I sold a good amount of cards this year. Almost immediately, I put that money back into this hobby. I made more buys this year than any other, and while I don’t have a huge budget for Magic speculation, I wanted to take you through some of my highs and lows this year, along with the lessons learned.

What To Expect in 2022
