Won't You Be My Commander is a Magic: The Gathering podcast that focuses on the Commander game mode.
More specifically, Magic newbie, Steven, and grizzled veteran, Jacob, discuss the intricacies of Commander deck-building by making decks out of Steven's small collection of cards.
While on their brewing journey, they will visit their neighbors in the game store and talk about the meta where they play and neat decks that their neighbors are making!
This podcast focuses on the friendship and fun of Commander, bringing the hobby back to its roots!
Steven sits down with his soon-to-be 7-year old, Ryan, to pick out a new commander to brew specially for his birthday!
Ryan chooses between some of his favorites, and then the two build a deck using his ideas and Steven's feedback to make a functional deck!

Episode 4: Ethan and The Scorpion God
Introducing our first neighbor Ethan and his pet deck The Scorpion God. This episode is a little longer than normal in order to introduce Ethan’s deck and Ethan himself. (Side note: With the holidays, Jacob getting Covid, and Steven going from Silverquil ((English)) teacher to now following in Quintorius’s footsteps and becoming a Lorehold ((History)) teacher, we at WYBMCommander apologize for the delay! We aim to keep releasing an episode every other Friday moving forward)

Episode 3: Quintorious, Steven's Spirit Animal
***A quick note to apologize for the audio quality. Due to health concerns, we had to record virtually so the mic quality wasn't always the best!***
In this episode, Jacob and Steven discuss Steven's very first Commander: Quintorious, the Field Historian.
The guys talk about why Steven chose "Quincy" in the first place, the simple How-to-Win (HTW) in the deck, the cards that help Quintorious be the baddest historian at Strixhaven, the various "fun" cards, and Jacob's thoughts on how it could be streamlined by a veteran player.
A big shoutout to @nsheppardmedia for the parody music and @nemissas_northwood_arts for the awesome logo!
