    Commander ad Populum, Ep 283 - The 10:1 Deckbuilding Theory

    We're running it back with some fallout from last week's episode. I defend my stance on running the minimal number of basic lands and breakdown a deck building theory sent in by a long-time listener. Keep those theories coming in! Let's break them all down.

    Commander ad Populum, Ep 281 - Your Gaming 'Range of Motion'

    With Magic the Gathering, like in many areas of life we seek to become proficient in, a wide variety of exposure over the course of time is what it takes to be successful. Come hear my expanded thoughts on the matter as I recount a very interesting panel attended at MagicCon Chicago.

Exactly what I’m looking for

Just as Ryan claims, this podcast is by the people, for the people. I appreciate the positivity that Ryan brings his episodes, makes all listens enjoyable, compared to the ragebait that so many other channels have. I’d pay good money for Ryan to handle my news of any kind, but for now, Magic will work just fine.

Great discussion about the hobby

A lot of podcasts tend to take a deep dive into card analysis and mechanics, but what Ryan at Commander Ad Populum is able to do is really talk about the hobby a higher level in terms of social interaction and our overall relationship with it. He takes a unique approach to how he talks about Magic the Gathering and offers a brand of content that’s not easily found amongst other content creators in this space.

Refreshing Positivity

The world needs more of this thoughtful positivity Ryan brings to the table every week. Listening to him always leaves me feeling more optimistic about life in general!
