Common Gold:
I had recently come accross a card that just Blew my mind. I thought to myself holy! WHY is this card not 5$?! it was 75cents at my local shop and for that I will not stand for it! This card can go in pretty much every deck KNOWN TO MAN and get a HUGE amount of mileage out of it.

Legends of Conspiracy
Conspiracy is drawing near, and while the limited player in me is all too excited to take a seat at the draft table, the Commander player in me is simply overjoyed. I always love it when Wizards of the Coast makes it blatantly obvious that they kept the Commander format in mind when designing a set.
