Hi all. It's been a while and a half. The two of us at EDHsilver have sadly come to the conclusion that this project has run its course for reasons that we will outline below. This has been a fun project that served a purpose for all involved and we plan to maintain the website for posterity for the forseeable future, so anyone who wishes to still refer back to it. We will continue running the Discord server too, although we will not be…
Hi all It's been a while. It was a wild ride from end of 2019 through to the first few months of 2020, but there hasn't been as much going on in silver-bordered Magic over the past few months. However, with Ikoria, and now Core Set 2021 and Jumpstart, there have been a few changes that filter over to UnCommander. I figured that it was high time to make another post to let you all know what we've been up to. Dogged Determination Magic…
Hi all By now you many of you have probably heard about the upcoming silver-bordered set Unsanctioned, first announced back in October last year. It is scheduled to release on February 29th 2020, the leap year day. This close to the release date, there's a fair bit of information on the set out there to peruse. At this point, the cards in Unsanctioned can all be seen on the Magic website here. The website Scryfall have also added the Unsanctioned cards to their card…
Hi All Shadalan and I recently took part in a Commander game hosted by the Youtuber DementedKirby that features the Commanders from the 2018 Heroes of the Realm cards. You can check out the video he made on the game here: Note that this game isn't an UnCommander game, the only unusual cards it uses are from Heroes of the Realm. The Heroes of the Realm cards were great fun to play with, each of them provides something new that no existing commanders do.…
Hi all You may have heard about the new card set exclusive to the Magic Arena videogame, Jumpstart: Historic Horizons. Like the original Jumpstart if offers a simpler limited experience where themed packets are put together into decks and played. Now fully spoiled, it brings a range of cards from existing sets like Modern Horizons 1 and 2 to the Historic format. The whole list can be found here. However, this set also includes digital-exclusive cards with new mechanics. These were designed to only…
Hi All The Youtuber DementedKirby has hosted another EDH game featuring nonstandard commanders. Only this time, it's legendary creatures from the Mystery Booster playtest cards in the spotlight! The Mystery Booster playtest cards are a collection of cards showcasing interesting ideas that didn't make it to normal Magic as well as off-the wall concepts that were not designed for normal printing. The legendary creatures from the playtest cards live up to this description, including unusual templating and insane multiple tribal synergies. We picked four…
Hi all The Youtuber DementedKirby has released a video on The Commander Tavern, tackling one of the more contentious questions in the Commander community, how to play silver-bordered cards in Commander. As this topic is right up our alley, he's invited us over to discuss UnCommander and silver-bordered cards in general. You can watch the video here: If the video raises any questions you'd like us to answer, head on down to the EDH Silver Discord server and fire away. We'll do our best…
I've been out of the Magic loop for the past couple of weeks. As a result, It's no wonder that I've missed a revelation of players who attended the Mystery Booster World Premiere this Thursday (2019-11-07) at MagicFest Richmond. Image source: Wizards of the Coast Mystery Booster is a set designed for limited play, Chaos Draft and Sealed in particular. Mystery and going in blind are part of its appeal. According to Mark Rosewater, packs of Mystery Booster will also be for sale in…
