Lab Report 043: The Cat King Returns

 

Lab Report 043: The Cat King Returns

Let’s be honest—some Commanders just feel right. And Lord Windgrace? He doesn’t just play Magic... he commands the scorched earth like a post-apocalyptic value engine in a stylish hooded robe.

He’s a planeswalker-commander hybrid, which already turns heads at the table. But what makes him so fun is the raw synergy: discard a land to draw two cards, recur lands from your graveyard, and if the game drags on long enough, you can flood the board with 2/2 Forestwalking cats like it’s the weirdest nature documentary ever made.

I’ll be real—I can’t promise there’s no salt in the deck. There are some spicy wipes, a few grindy engines, and the occasional “did he just cast Gaze of Granite for ten?” moment. But I’m not playing Lord Windgrace to win every table—I’m playing it because it feels good. It’s my comfort deck. My pocket chaos. My dirt-fueled therapy session.

This is also the deck I grab when I don’t know who I’m playing with. It’s flexible, interactive, and not overly oppressive. Win or lose, I’m usually having a great time looping lands, building value, and blowing stuff up like a polite land mage with a chip on his shoulder.

There’s still more work to be done on the build. I'm constantly tuning and tweaking—not to break it, but to polish it. Add a little grit. Make the engine hum.

You can check out the current version of the deck right here on Moxfield. Let me know what you think—especially if you’ve got some low-salt spice to recommend.

Until next time—may your graveyards be full, your forests walk, and your cats actually matter in Commander.

Magically yours,
~ MaD SaXXon aka Tibalt’s Apprentice

Lab Report 059: I Hate Alchemy (and Why Nice Guys Finish Last on Arena)

  I Hate Alchemy (and Why Nice Guys Finish Last on Arena) “A wise ruler ought never to keep faith when by doing so it would be against his interests.”    Let me get this out of the way up front: I hate Alchemy. Hate it. Despise it. The digital-only nonsense, the endless “rebalancing,” the half-baked mechanics that would collapse under their own weight if they ever had to exist in cardboard form—Alchemy feels like Magic’s integrity got fed into a paper shredder just so someone in accounting could hit their quarterly bonus. Sure, the official line is that it keeps the game “fresh” and “exciting.” But let’s not kid ourselves. This isn’t about fresh gameplay—it’s about milking the cow until it keels over. And here’s the real kicker: nobody cares. Nobody at Wizards cares that Alchemy cheapens the game. Nobody on the Arena ladder cares if you’re stubbornly refusing to play the busted cards. Nobody gives you a shiny badge of honor for “staying true to real Magic.” If anythin...

Lab Report 001: The Binary Trap — Why Fun Should Be the Goal

 LAB REPORT 001: The Binary Trap — Why Fun Should Be the Goal Commander is one of the richest formats in Magic, but all too often I see players fall into what I call the binary trap . It's the idea that there's only one acceptable outcome: winning. When winning is your only goal, the game becomes black and white—either you win and have fun, or you lose and walk away disappointed. Every card, every turn, every interaction is judged by whether it contributes to a victory, and if it doesn’t, it’s seen as a waste. That’s a lot of pressure to put on a game. But when you make fun your primary objective, the whole game opens up. Suddenly, there are infinite shades of gray between winning and losing. You start to notice the little victories—the perfect topdeck, the unlikely combo that almost goes off, the chaos you unleash with a single card. You laugh more. You engage more. You remember more. Fun doesn’t have to be the opposite of winning—it can include it—but it’s far more susta...

Lab Report 24: Why Archenemy is the Perfect Format for Streaming

  Lab Report 24: Why Archenemy is the Perfect Format for Streaming by madsaxxon, Tibalt’s Apprentice So here’s a spicy take for the streamers, the guests, and the chaos gremlins alike: Archenemy might just be the perfect way to play Commander on stream. I had the chance to join a streamed Archenemy game hosted by Jake the Lithomancer . Jake’s known for combining janky brews, flavorful storytelling, and just enough chaos to keep things unpredictable. You’ll find him streaming these wild Commander sessions on Twitch and sharing game highlights and deckbuilding thoughts over at @jake_the_lithomancer . Now, let’s get the basics out of the way—Archenemy is a variant format where one player becomes “the archenemy” and takes on a team of three opponents. The twist? The archenemy starts with 40 life, draws two cards per turn, and gets a ridiculous bonus each turn from a deck of scheme cards—oversized, splashy effects that feel like a blend between cheating and plot armor. And yes, it’...
