Show Notes:


We all have cards we think are awesome but that never seem to show up on the opponent's side of the table. Why is no one else playing this stuff? On today's episode, Josh and DJ make the case for some of their favorite underrated cards in Commander.

Josh, I'm really surprised you shy away from Nevermore effects. You were such a big advocate of tuck. Nevermore and it's friends are the new tuck. I'm surprised you don't utilize them more. In any case, another great episode guys!

Tucking someone's Commander after they've played it is totally different to me than preemptively hating them out of the game. -JLK

The most underated Card in my opinion has to be Nostalgic Dreams. GG for a sorcery. As an additional cost to cast it, you have to discard x cards. Then you return that many cards from your graveyard to your hand. Exile Nostalgic Dreams. It's discard 2 lands, get back kiki-jiki pestermite. Discard a land, get back another underated card, such as Mystic Confluence. Ugh. Get access to another bounce 3 creatures, or counter a spell, or draw cards, and have access to all of these powerful effects, from your graveyard by discarding something you don't need? Or maybe even back a value creature? Get back oracle of mul daya, get a couple lands? The flexibility on the card is huge, and the cost is really low. It's worse than regrowth on a one-for-one standpoint. The floor is fine, I lose two cards to get back a clutch card, but the high is insane. It also has synergies with dredge, karador, meren, muldrotha. So Nostalgic dreams! Check it out! 49 cents on cardkingdom. The foil is 5.59, for you, Jimmy and DJ. Anyway, that is my sleeper card. Enjoy!
