Casual Compliance

With 100-card decks in Commander, card draw is a key part of being able to do things in a game. Leovold shuts down your opponent's options for drawing more than 1 card per turn, meaning you will have a hard time finding a way to deal with it. Find out if we think there's any room for unbanning Leovold in Commander in this episode!You can find a video version of this episode at https://youtu.be/crGeMh76TdwSupport the show!casualcompliance.funSocial links:BlueskyTikTokInstagramYouTubeEmail us at casualcompliance@gmail.com ★ Support this podcast ★

Do you remember where you were when the Modern Horizons 3 Pro Tour happened? Do you remember all of those Nadu mirror matches? That event led to Nadu being banned in Modern and Commander, and we're here to talk about the latter. Could this dumb bird come back? Hard to say.Read the post-mortem article on how Nadu was designed and eventually banned: https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/feature/on-banning-nadu-winged-wisdom-in-modernYou can find a video version of this episode at https://youtu.be/mGZxpOAIivESupport the show!casualcompliance.funSocial links:BlueskyTikTokInstagramYouTubeEmail us at casualcompliance@gmail.com ★ Support this podcast ★

Since we started this show, there has been an entry on the spin wheel that represented 5 cards, all banned for the same reason: the Moxen. We are finally here to talk about them and what makes them too much for today's game. The reason might not be what you think!You can find a video version of this episode at https://youtu.be/xFDDrx1z3IYSupport the show!casualcompliance.funSocial links:BlueskyTikTokInstagramYouTubeEmail us at casualcompliance@gmail.com ★ Support this podcast ★

NOTE: we recorded this prior to the February 2026 updates to the Commander Ban List and Brackets. As a result, we get a couple of things technically "wrong", but it doesn't really affect anything.You'd think 9 mana would be a high enough cost to keep people from playing this angel, but Iona being able to just fully disable your opponents from playing a whole colour of Magic is STRONGWe finally take a look at Iona, Shield of Emeria and whether or not we could bring her off the banlist and discuss some interesting topics relating to player agency in Commander along the way.You can find a video version of this episode at https://youtu.be/nqKbMIirmdoSupport the show!casualcompliance.funSocial links:BlueskyTikTokInstagramYouTubeEmail us at casualcompliance@gmail.com ★ Support this podcast ★

We're back in Lorwyn, baby! This time for the Precon Precon, we take a look at Blight Curse, led by Auntie Ool, Cursewretch. This deck is centered around -1/-1 counters of all things, and it's got some neat tricks up its sleeves for them. We do our usual thing of tagging the cards by their function to see how the deck is constructed, break it down and analyse it, and give some thoughts on how to tweak it (if at all).Check out the tagged decklist here: https://moxfield.com/decks/jKVHmK4s5kO172m2IBXbOwHuge thanks to Wizards of the Coast for sending us this incredible selection of Lorwyn Eclipsed products!#gifted #mtglorwynYou can find a video version of this episode at https://youtu.be/elB0qhgsJ3wSupport the show!casualcompliance.funSocial links:BlueskyTikTokInstagramYouTubeEmail us at casualcompliance@gmail.com ★ Support this podcast ★

The first conversation we ever had about what would become Casual Compliance was about whether or not Karakas could be unbanned in Commander. Finally, the spin wheel has blessed us with that very card and we're going to talk about it properly!You can find a video version of this episode at https://youtu.be/RchbqsnPy_wSupport the show!casualcompliance.funSocial links:BlueskyTikTokInstagramYouTubeEmail us at casualcompliance@gmail.com ★ Support this podcast ★

The Avatar The Last Airbender set for Magic: the Gathering recently dropped and we're very thankful to Wizards of the Coast for sending us some of it to crack open and build decks with. As is tradition around these parts, the first video is a Deck% - our occasional series where we try to build a Commander decklist around a random Commander in 30 minutes. Come watch us explore some new and interesting card design from this set!Huge thanks to Wizards of the Coast for supplying us with all of this amazing stuff for #MTGxATLA#giftedchillybin's Haru, Hidden Talent deck: https://moxfield.com/decks/Oi5H3Z3L40eipKLhMTGz-AGramps' Uncle Iroh deck: https://moxfield.com/decks/gl_mHykd0UWdXj1PgvMTOgYou can find a video version of this episode at https://youtu.be/gtu6YADqdGMSupport the show!casualcompliance.funSocial links:BlueskyTikTokInstagramYouTubeEmail us at casualcompliance@gmail.com ★ Support this podcast ★

It's been almost a month since our last regularly-scheduled banlist episode, but it's good to be back! This time we're talking about Limited Resources, an absolutely brutal way to bring an entire game to a standstill, as early as turn 2.We shot this episode on the same day as our last banlist episode on Golos, and is the last video we shot before we upgraded our remaining 2 cameras, so a couple of the shots are a little rough. Look forward to a better looking show very soon!You can find a video version of this episode at https://youtu.be/nH9IWiV0VR0Support the show!casualcompliance.funSocial links:BlueskyTikTokInstagramYouTubeEmail us at casualcompliance@gmail.com ★ Support this podcast ★

What's this? A second Deck% video for Spider-Man? You better believe it! In honour of the new Pick 2 Draft format introduced alongside this set, we're mixing up our Deck% format a little bit. Instead of building with a random Commander from a pack, we each open a Play Booster and pick 2 cards for the other person to build around, with one of them being the Commander. It was a fun twist on this challenge, come and see what we came up with!A big thank you to Wizards of the Coast for slinging us these Spider-Man packs!#gifted #MTGxMarvel #MTGxSpiderManchillybin's Morbius the Living Vampire: https://moxfield.com/decks/GbuYBUZGzEi47sUqRGzs6AGramps' Spider-Man, Web-Slinger deck: https://moxfield.com/decks/2LetjAvzmkqO50LXsrAIeQYou can find a video version of this episode at https://youtu.be/SzJYoMBGLsYSupport the show!casualcompliance.funSocial links:BlueskyTikTokInstagramYouTubeEmail us at casualcompliance@gmail.com ★ Support this podcast ★

We were so thrilled to have Kira from RaiseMTG join us for this episode where, for better or worse, our banned card du jour was Golos, Tireless Pilgrim. Any card that is both a way to fetch ANY land from your library when it enters and has an ability that gives you the top 3 cards of your library for free would be a problem, let alone one that is just available in your command zone. Tune in to find out about similar cards that actually are legal in Commander, as well as seeing how someone with a Standard-focused mindset looks at the Commander banlist!Follow Kira and Raise MTG here:Raise MTG: RaiseMTGkirabobeera: https://www.instagram.com/kirabobeera.jpg/Support the show!casualcompliance.funYou can find a video version of this episode at https://youtu.be/lolsaZ2KhfYSocial links:BlueskyTikTokInstagramYouTubeEmail us at casualcompliance@gmail.com ★ Support this podcast ★

We're back from outer space and it's time to return to our regularly scheduled programming! This time, we're looking at Flash - a 2 mana instant that'll let you just drop a creature into play.

A new set has landed in Edge of Eternities and we're back again with another round of Precon Precon. Wizards of the Coast kindly sent us the World Shaper deck from the set, and we took a run at it with our Moxfield tags and analytical minds. We've grouped the cards by their functions and we'll give you an idea of how well balanced this deck is and how likely it is to hit its stated goal, as well as a few cards to consider when looking to upgrade the deck.Check out the tagged decklist here: https://moxfield.com/decks/uho3N6olD0iUOmYRtHVRVABig thanks to Wizards of the Coast for sending us this deck for #MTGEternities and other cool stuff you'll see in upcoming videos!#gifted #adSupport the show!casualcompliance.funYou can find a video version of this episode at https://youtu.be/4rZJxfJAyCMSocial links:BlueskyTikTokInstagramYouTubeEmail us at casualcompliance@gmail.com ★ Support this podcast ★
