EDH Commander Card Reference

Sometimes cards can be a bit difficult to search for. This page shows various lists of cards by concept. I make no claims these lists are complete. :) It's just to give ideas. For these, I recommend using the "Visual Spoiler" instead of "Tabular List"; it's easier when you can "see" the cards.   There is a vague ordering to the cards; they get generally worse the further down the Visual Spoiler you go. On the Tabular List, the cards on the left side are generally better. This is by no means absolute (and endless arguments can occur as to which cards are "better"); it's just how I put things together.   Work in progress: I am starting to add Scryfall searches that give similar results to these pages; when possible. Scryfall has changed quite a bit over the years, and has a lot more features than before (which is great!). This is a work in progress and will take me a while to fill these in. If you have suggestions on how to improve the Scryfall searches, of course feel free to email me.   Click here to see my EDH main page and decks.   Feel free to email me if you like at smileylich@smileylich.com .   Click here to see all these lists on one page (LONG!)
