The Masters Of Modern

If you love Commander and are looking for a little challenge, Artisan may be just what you are looking for. Using the same rules as traditional Commander, Artisan challenges you to build without any rare or mythic cards - and ultimately provides a format that is often more strategically deep and fulfilling than 'full power' Commander provides. Plus, your deck is still legal to play at the regular Commander tables. Marshall is joined this week by Veil of Death MTG (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDBxPrHt-NCy6deNXNluVBw) to discuss the format and dive into what makes them both so excited about this new way to play.
