  We recently unveiled our new and improved Commander deckbuilding template. This episode, we’re here to tell you why it’s… WRONG!  Okay, well not “wrong” exactly, but over-simplified!

Let’s discuss when and why it’s often correct to bend the rules and, sometimes, even outright break them! -------- Commander Deckbuilding Template for the New Era | The Command Zone 658: https://youtu.be/OSNV6224cHg -------- Support the show and become a Patron!
