0:28.0	Ask anyone, ask Josh. Let's tell you that.
0:30.0	That's a business card.
0:32.0	Editor slash bad boy.
0:36.0	Today we have a very fun episode in mind. We are talking about commanders that when they were released,
0:42.0	we were like, oh, that's going to be a big one. That's going to be super popular, and it didn't really pan out that way.
0:50.0	So these are commanders that have sort of been lost to time, or they were very popular at the beginning,
0:54.0	and then kind of fizzled out, and we still think that they should have the number.
1:00.0	Yeah, they deserve a second chance, we think, and so we're going to spotlight a few of them and talk about some cars that go in their decks, and so on and so forth.
1:06.0	Yeah, hopefully you find a new deck that isn't super overrepresented. It's always fun to have a very unique deck at the table.
1:14.0	But before we get into it, we want to remind you that the best way to support the show is by using our affiliate links over at cardkingdom.com slash command.

1:42.0	Because I know I can buy a huge amount of cards all in one place, and I'm not chasing envelopes halfway around the world,
1:49.0	making sure that they're showing up on my doorstep. Again, you can support the show and support your growing magic addiction at cardkingdom.com slash command.
