Rival’s Duel 59- Let’s Build: Naya Walkers Edition

Hello and welcome to another episode of Rival’s Duel. In this episode, Eric and Nole are taking their own unique take on “superfriends” decks, AKA cramming as many walkers as you can in a deck. Their take: Let’s cut two colors and that will make it better… There are times when we question Eric and Nole’s better judgement. (If only we had a name for this kind of groups. Gate keepers? Oath Watchers?… What’s that Mr. Kozilek, sir? Why yes, I’ll get back to work. No sir, I’ll get back to work.) As always, full shownotes after the break.

Rival’s Duel 58- The Color Free Free-for-All

Hello and welcome to another episode of Rival’s Duel. This week, Eric and Nole a running another gauntlet. What is the gauntlet you might ask? While most of our arguments here on Rival’s Duel are a 1-vs-1 affair, the gauntlet is our version of a free for all, where we take all (or most) of a subset of commanders, pit them all against each other, and decide who comes out on top. In honor of Oath of the Gatewatch (specifically the printing of colorless basic lands making these decks much more possible), this gauntlet is pitting all of the colorless generals against each other. Who will take home the prize of best colorless Commander? Give it a listen and let us know what you think in the comments below. As always, full shownotes after the break.
