In this episode, Griffin is forced to pick commanders in a 'winner stays' format, focusing solely on mono-green commanders. Initially, choices bounce between Ezuri, Renegade Leader, and Titiana, Voice of Gaea, with Titiana emerging victorious. The selection quickly narrows, with commanders like Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma, and Selvala, Heart of the Wilds showcasing their strengths and unique advantages in gameplay.
Discussions on the strategies, strengths, and weaknesses of various green commanders such as Ghalta Primal Hunger, Kona, and Ayula, Queen Among Bears, keep the debate lively and informative. Listen in to hear who stands as the top pick!

We pick cards from four categories: land, enchantment/artifact, instant/sorcery, and commander. Each card is valued between one to five dollars, and we discuss our choices and strategies to build the best deck possible.
