CommanderCast Ep 491 – Planeswalkers, Legends, and News, Oh My!

PODCASTS – CommanderCast

Hello everyone and welcome to CommanderCast Episode 491! This week Mark and Adam have a huge announcement about the future of the show. We are also continuing with a look at some of the cards coming soon in the new Dominaria set! Dominaria United will be releasing on September 9, 2022 and we are getting spoilers from it along with the inclusion of a few prize cards that will be sprinkled into packs from Legends! First we take a moment to talk about some news about the show and the future. We then take a quick look at some of the modern Planeswalkers and which ones we feel are worth playing in Commander. We wrap things up with a quick look at some cards from Legends that are still really good to play with in the modern day of the game.

All that, plus our usual interstitial fodder, and all you have to do is Click the IB!!!
