Interstitial fodder:
- The Color Out of Space rocks. How could you turn down a movie with Nick Cage & Tommy Chong?
- The correct condiment/topping for french fries?
- Fuck you, Styx! You’re mediocre at best.
Strategy
Is there an optimal commander CMC?
Factors in “Playability”:
- Has green in its casting cost?
- What do you get for the mana?
- How many times can you comfortably afford to recast it?
- Does it have built-in cost reducers? Does it have an Eminence ability?
- Adam landed on 3 CMC; Mark is cool with 4 CMC
