The Command Zone fantasy draft is back and, this time, our hosts are picking the best BANNED cards in Commander.

Plus, special guest Crim “TheAsianAvenger” (MTGGoldfish) joins us to take the degeneracy to the next level. Power Nine, Conspiracies, Ante…everything is up for grabs! And this time the stakes are real, because after the draft each player is incorporating their picks into an actual deck build to face-off against the others on an all-new episode of Extra Turns coming out next week!

Who will create the most broken brew? Watch and find out!
