How To Be Popular - A Look Into the Top 20 Commanders

Commander Theory

The top 20 Commanders over the last two years is one of the most interesting features on EDHREC. It's interesting to see it change over time and to see what commanders have the go-get-'em attitude needed to break into the top spots, but what can it teach us about design? In this episode, Nick and Zak look at the top 20 commanders on EDHREC and try to analyze what makes them popular? Why should Muldrotha succeed when Chainer, Nightmare Adept and other graveyard strategies don't even make it to the top 100 most popular commanders? Listen and find out!
