Commander Kitchen - “Marchesa, The Black Flag”

On this episode of Commander Kitchen we get into the ingredients and flavour of a Magic: The Gathering Commander deck dedicated to facts vs fiction surrounding those classic sea-faring scoundrels, Pirates!

Commander Kitchen episodes break down how specific decks from the Archive Arcanum work by using the GRIDL Method: Goals of the Deck, Ramp, Interaction, Draw/Selection, and Lands.

Each Archive Arcanum deck is built with a topic in mind so, if you would like to hear more on the topic of this deck, make sure you tune in to The Deckumentary Podcast episode here: The Deckumentary Podcast - “Marchesa, The Black Flag” - Pirates: Myth vs Fact

You can find the deck list and notes on how to play the deck here:
