 Show Notes:

It’s a mailbag episode! On today’s show we’re answering listener questions like: Should the INFECT rules be changed in EDH? How do you handle missed rules interactions, after the fact? When is that fan episode of Game Knights finally going to come out and how can you get a chance to appear on the show in the future? We're discussing all those questions and many more!

What we talked about on THE END STEP:

Suns_Champion’s (from our Discord) created a spotify playlist of the original versions of all the songs we’ve sung to start the show:

Never, if it was I feel it would completely remove the threat or at least greatly reduce it. It's such a fun and neat mechanic to the game just as commander damage that you also need to be weary of. Anything can deal commander damage but only a select number of cards can do infect.

I like infect, I think it's a good "great equalizer" in commander, it requires some set up, and provides a valuable win con for decks seeking to attack. Without it, everything would probably just revolved around solitaire style combos.

I was told about commander after a 15 year hiatus from magic. I tried to remember the worst legendary I could think of and came up with skeleton ship. I then looked up "things that do -1/-1" and discovered infect and proliferate. I showed up at the first game night with a couple hundred bucks dumped into a skeleton ship infect/proliferate deck. I killed the guy who played tabernacle with a skittles + exoskeleton. His face was priceless. The next game was infected rats + proliferate. Zero people were like "Don't play infect". Everyone however was like "Oh dang I forgot about infect!" And then I moved onward.

And nobody cares about infect at this point in my playgroup. We basically have a house rule of "Don't build to go infinite, but have one (maybe two) infinite combos as a backup because sometimes board states are insane and we want to have an excuse to crack another beer."

I built an Emmara, Soul of the Accord token deck that goes wide fast and has Triumph of the Hordes. It is a fun way to surprise people with infect since they don't usually expect that from Emmara decks.
