Cebu Commander Crew

Written by Christian Gil Portugalisa         This truly is Commander Christmas. The new Commander 2019 has just recently arrived and now Throne of Eldraine is releasing new and spicy Commanders for Brawl which can and will be used for our own format. What an exciting time to be playing Magic the Gathering.         Aside from new Commander cards being printed, our community has also started to grow. Standard players have started to venture into our format and I have heard great feedback from them. Entirely new Magic players have also started to test out the waters down south which is great for our format. However, one common comment I hear is that our format is getting too expensive and hard to build a decent Commander deck around affordable cards. Well look no further my good readers and let me introduce a couple of Commander decks that are below $50 and still bring fun and havoc in a regul...

Written by Christian Gil Portugalisa         Modern has been in an uproar when the battlefield changed from being overrun by Hogaak decks to now being overrun by Stoneforge Mystic decks. The card is very powerful, allowing you search for any equipment that you need and playing that equipment with its tap ability. So why don't we find a way to bring that same gameplan into our beloved Commander format. The Commander         The commander whose colors can be found in its name. A new legendary creature from Commander 2019's Primal Genesis . A sweet commander bringing populate back from the brink of death. What set's this commander apart from other populate commanders is that he can generate a huge rhino token when he comes into play and populate it when he attacks. Another good thing here is that the newly created token is also tapped and attacking. If you have a haste enabler on the battle...

Written by Christian Gil Portugalisa ...all men are created equal The Declaration of Independence (as penned by Thomas Jefferson)         After going to two different shops in our local community, I noticed that not all of the Commander 2019 decks are equally sought after. The other three decks are flying off the shelves however, the Mystic Intellect deck is still waiting for someone to love. So I decided to see what cards are in the deck and how we can give this deck a fighting chance. The Commanders             The Flashback mechanic is a very interesting ability allowing you to reuse spells that you've already played or discarded. Sevinne, the Chronoclasm takes full use of this mechanic and gives you a "fork" effect where you can copy the spell and you may choose new targets. After play testing the deck, I can safely say that the deck is pretty slow and there are ...

Written by Christian Gil Portugalisa         Hi everyone. What an amazing start of the week. The recent banned and unbanned announcement has really stirred up the waters and is now the talk of the town affecting Modern, Vintage and even French Duel Commander. Excitement or frustration? Only time will tell.         Commander 2019 has finally arrived. This set brings new commanders allowing for new possibilities. One of the most sought after Commander 2019 decks is Merciless Rage. So why don't we talk about Anje Falkenrath and how we can bring madness to its extremes. The Commander         A hasty vampire that has a simple looting ability. What sets her apart from all the other looters is her ability to untap if you discard a card that has the madness ability. For as long as you have them on hand or draw into those madness cards, you can keep unt...

Written by Christian Gil Portugalisa          Hi everyone. It’s been awhile since our last article. This time, I want to talk about an Izzet Dragon Commander who, in War of the Spark, died and was reborn. Our article will be focused on Niv-Mizzet Parun, the guild master prior to his death. I would also like to dedicate this article to Justin Ian Rosario. I hope this article helps you out and most importantly, bring you fun commander games. The Commander          Niv-Mizzet is a very interesting commander. He always had one thing going for him ever since he first came out in the original Ravnica block. Whenever you draw a card, Niv-Mizzet deals one damage to any target. This is a very powerful ability since all you need to do is put in a lot of cantrips and you’re good to go. Plus this commander can also deal infinite damage with certain cards which we will talk about in a bit. ...
