Commander & Budget Desk

Reid Marsh is the byline for BaseMTG's Commander coverage: budget builds, precon upgrades, and the deck-building questions that come with them. Every article starts from a sources table (EDHREC data, official product pages, Scryfall prices with the date), and every card in a list gets a one-line reason to be there. When a swap is cheap and changes a lot, he says so plainly; when a hyped card or precon is mediocre, he says that too. Written in an enthusiast's voice, not a hype-man's: short paragraphs, real terminology, no over-explaining to someone who already plays.

  • Commander builds, budget lists and precon upgrades
  • Prices checked on Scryfall, dated in the article
  • A sources table behind every card and number
