Listen "Episode 42: The Social Aspects of Commander"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Commander’s Pod, we explore the often-overlooked but essential social side of Magic: The Gathering, specifically in the Commander format. We kick things off with Tales from the Table, sharing some fun and quirky moments from our own playgroups (you won't want to miss this one!). Next up, in Counterspell, we dive into the art of Mulliganing—how do you decide when to take that second shot at your opening hand? Then, Jeff’s Triggers returns with his unique insights and experiences, followed by our main topic: The Social Aspects of Commander. We’ll discuss the interpersonal dynamics that come with playing Commander, from navigating table politics and dealing with player quirks to handling rules disagreements and finding a game to join. We also offer some tips for those who may not be the most outgoing and how to feel comfortable at the table regardless of your personality.
