Episode #7 Building Commander deck with Restrictions

Building a Commander deck usually means choosing the strongest cards you can find… but what happens when you add restrictions? 🤔 In this episode of the Hotchi Motchi MTG Podcast, we explore the fun and creativity that comes from building Commander decks with limitations. From budget builds to bracket-restricted decks, and even decks built around a single Magic artist, we talk about how adding constraints can completely change the way you approach deckbuilding. Sometimes the best ideas come from working within a new set of rules. Whether you're trying to stay with in a budget, challenge your brewing skills, or just want a fresh way to enjoy Commander, restrictions can unlock surprising strategies and hidden gems. Join us as we break down different ways to build with guidelines, share our own experiences, and help you rediscover the joy of brewing in Magic: The Gathering.
