The Social Contract: An EDH Podcast

We are a couple of guys who like Magic The Gathering and REALLY love Commander. One of us is a Judge for MTG with a wealth of knowledge and experience. The other isn't. Let's talk about how to enjoy the game as much as possible! We lean into symmetrical effects and politics to make each game as fun for the entire table.

Sit down and enjoy a conversation with two people who love Commander as much as you do. Like to win, love to play.
