Aggro in Commander

New • 20 Oct 2019 • Asked by rhonas-the-indomitable-blog • 43 Comments

Re Aggro in commander: Aggro can work, but you need a really good commander to overcome the fact that you're trying to do 120 damage rather than 20. Krenko, Mob Boss and Purphoros work well since they can quickly do large amounts of damage to everyone. Of course, aggro also has the meta downside that the other players probably want to play the usual long game and putting damage on the board early makes you a target.

What I was really trying to say is that the format of Commander, especially playing with a lot of people, makes aggro strategies significantly harder than in two-player formats. I didn’t mean to imply that you couldn’t play them.

"richieball-lovermarcus asked: Would Red be able to double tokens?No. I could see possibly Goblin doubling or temporary doubling." Like Krenko, Mob Boss?

Yep.

Birthday Trivia

New • 23 Jul 2015 • Asked by gazer-beam • 20 Comments

Hello Mark! It's my birthday today and I was hoping to get trivia on either one of my 2 favorite cards in magic. Krenko, Mob Boss, or Corpsejack Menace!

Many years ago I made Doubling Season. I love doubling and the card was just me making a card I wanted to be able to play. It turns out I wasn’t alone and the card was much beloved. In Zendikar, I tried reprinting it but the introduction of planeswalkers made it problematic in Standard. We decided we would chop up the component pieces of Doubling Season and make a series of cards over many blocks. Corpsejack Menace was one of those cards. Happy Birthday!

Joyful Gaming Experience

New • 24 Feb 2014 • Asked by c3peelio • 112 Comments

My son is eight years old and we've had a few introductory games of Magic here and there, but I think the bug finally bit in a big way today as he activated Krenko, Mob Boss where X=15. The joy was nearly palpable. After he crushed me under his swarm of Goblins, he uttered the words that made me think back to something I've heard you mention a few times about a great gaming experience: "Hey, wanna play again!?" So, many thanks to you and all at WotC for a tremendous rainy Sunday afternoon.

I always love to hear stories like this. May you have many more wonderful Magic memories with your son!
