About this episode
When you love a deck you want to upgrade it to the best it can be, but what do you do when a beloved brew becomes too powerful? In this episode, we explore that question by analyzing the life of Rachel’s high-powered Aeve, Progenitor Ooze deck. What started as a mono-green stormy dream became the ooze that cannot lose, until it finally had to get taken apart. Are there decks that just have no place in the Commander format?
