| 0:00.0 | Greetings, humans. You have entered the Command Zone. Your destination for all aspects of Elder Dragon Highlander. |
| 0:10.0 | Enjoy your stay. |
| 0:12.8 | Hey, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of the Command Zone podcast. I'm your host, Rachel Weeks. |
| 0:17.3 | I'm Jamie Wong. How's it? It's Josh Lee Kwai. And we've got a humdinger for you today. This is the outline. It's a book. I think this is the most, is definitely by weight, the heaviest or the most amount of paper we've ever had for an outline for any show. I thought about changing the font size. I'm going to be honest. Thanks for not too much. My eyes are already not good. Like cheating on college essay over here. |
| 0:54.6 | Make all the periods bigger. Yeah. Before we start, I just want everyone who went to the restroom recently. Yes. Okay, good. Yeah. It's going to be a bit of a long one. Because today. You too, listener. We are going through every set in magic history. all the standard legal ones and everything before that. |
| 1:11.7 | And we are giving you the best commander card from each of the sets. Every single set. There's been a few. I don't know if you've been, magic's been around for a while. So we're going, yeah, we're starting at Alpha. We're going all the way to Lorwyn Eclipsed. It's like 150 sets almost. It's so many. Yeah, okay. And 50 of them released last year, |
| 1:16.7 | which is enough. How are we defining best, Rachel? Best can mean a lot of things to different people. |
| 1:22.6 | For us, for me personally, I was talking about the most iconic, the most format changing. If we lost them, what would be the biggest loss is something that I was talking about or thinking about it's not necessarily |
| 1:28.7 | the most powerful but often those things work together so it could be the most powerful it could be |
| 1:34.6 | just a sort of an iconic staple of the form yeah or unique I like difficult to replace that's a |
| 1:39.7 | good answer it's not there there's no other option for Yeah, I will just confess right now to not being very consistent. |
| 1:48.2 | How I decided it was best. |
| 1:49.5 | Sometimes I was like, yeah, this is an irreplaceable effect. |
| 1:51.9 | So far that reason, I'm gonna pick this. |
| 1:53.8 | Later, I'd be like, that one's irreplaceable, |
| 1:55.8 | but this one's just awesome. |
| 1:57.4 | It took a long time to research like many hours. And so my mood changed in there many times. There you go. Yep. It's a vibe thing. You can call me out, but I'm just admitting it right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. In order to keep this episode to a semi-reasonable length, we are going to be using a timer. We have two minutes at the absolute max to talk about each of these sets. So if we're rushing, it's because we're rushing. |
| 2:18.3 | Because there's not 150. |
| 2:20.3 | It's going to be four hours or something anyway. We don't want to be six or seven. All right. Camera will go off too, so you'll hear that and we'll be forced to move on to the next one. Okay. No, there's no us news on this. Can we just start? Any more time? Starting from the very beginning with alpha beta unlimited and revised okay um |
| 2:37.6 | i chose soul ring i also chose soul ring i chose something i believe is actually more iconic it's |
| 2:44.3 | wheel of fortune oh sorry it's very hard to be i will admit descent among the ranks already had to start |
| 2:50.0 | with red that's true you got to start on on the I mean, for me, it's hard to get any more iconic than Soul Ring. It's in every product. It has become sort of the definition of the format is like, welcome back. You can still play with some of the old busted cards that you had in your collection when you were a kid. There's a reason Soul Ring isn't banned and other stuff is. And it's just icon. |
