    Karif's been worried about uploading this episode, as it's one-hundred thousand percent late and there's a new format available. For those who want to listen about Karif and dRafter's experiences with the multiplayer extravaganza Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate and also Catan socks, this is the episode for you.

    Battle for Baldur's Gate is still a week away from actually releasing, and it's time to listen to two people that fit the casual/competitive skew this draft format's going for talk about archetypes and strategies that they definitely knew beforehand. Josh and Alex read a funny pamphlet that goes over draft archetypes and then proceed to need that pamphlet as they haven't read any card in the format before this episode, and then talk about how politics in Commander is a scourge upon the earth but how they're super important. Supplemental sets are usually a doozie, and Baldur's Gate is no different.

    Newly Mythic-ranked Drafter (at the time of recording, this podcast is late due to Josh/Karif's personal life being a mess) dRafterDemon/Alex schools everyone on how combat tricks work in Streets of New Capenna and Karif tries to figure out why they're so important to the format so he's not blind-sided by them ever again if they happen to be good. Karif still sounds like he's an old man in a rocking chair, dRafter still sounds like he's got LSV's mic quality, it's a good time. dRafter's Flop Deck: https://www.17lands.com/deck/191068616105468b8bc21fc1b6b1bcdd dRafter's Mythic Deck: https://www.17lands.com/deck/dae2c26fb9954e798a8540d840aae8c9 Follow Josh/Karif on Twitch (non-Magic content): https://www.twitch.tv/karif_wins Follow Alex/dRafter on Twitch (more Magic content than Karif): https://www.twitch.tv/dRafterdemon

    Karif and dRafter continue their journey through Streets of New Capenna by doing a full review of the rares and mythics in the set. Watch as they continually make the same joke that every card in the set will go great in their Atraxa Superfriends deck. There are no show notes for the Atraxa Superfriends deck. dRafter lied in this episode.
