[upbeat music] Greetings, humans. You have entered the Command Zone, your destination for all aspects of Elder Dragon Highlander. Enjoy your stay.
Rachel Weeks· Host0:11
[upbeat music] Hello and welcome back to another episode of the Command Zone Podcast. I'm your host, Rachel Weeks.
Josh Lee Kwai· Host0:18
How is it? It's Josh Lee Kwai.
Rachel Weeks· Host0:19
Oh, and we're talking about some secrets today.
Josh Lee Kwai· Host0:23
Yes.
Rachel Weeks· Host0:23
Specifically the Strixhaven secrets.
Josh Lee Kwai· Host0:25
Yes.
Rachel Weeks· Host0:26
Yeah.
Josh Lee Kwai· Host0:26
[laughs] Very excited about Strixhaven, very excited about these commanders. A lot of spell slinger commanders, which is right up my alley.
Rachel Weeks· Host0:31
Absolutely. A lot of spells, which makes sense for this plane. Uh, we're gonna be talking about many of the new commanders for Secrets of Strixhaven, the ones that we think will be the most popular, the most powerful. We won't talk about the face commanders in this episode. We're, uh, dedicating full episodes to each of those as we roll out all of our episodes of Strixhaven. So if there's one that you're excited about, go check out that episode. We go deep into what we expect to be in the deck and what we would add to make it really awesome, so.
Josh Lee Kwai· Host0:58
Yeah. And we are doing a video for every single pre-con, so don't worry.
Rachel Weeks· Host1:02
Okay.
Josh Lee Kwai· Host1:02
If, if that hasn't, if it hasn't come out yet, it will. We will do a video for every single one of the Strixhaven School pre-cons, promise.
Rachel Weeks· Host1:07
There's a lot of them.
Josh Lee Kwai· Host1:08
Yeah.
Rachel Weeks· Host1:09
Give us a second.
Josh Lee Kwai· Host1:10
Yeah, just give us a second. [laughs] Um, yeah, but in this one, uh, we're just- we're talking about some of the ones that just caught our eye, I guess, is the way it went.
Rachel Weeks· Host1:17
Yeah, some of the cool ones, some of the ones that we think that you guys will be the most excited about, and we're getting started with a little frog. This is Berta, Wise Extrapolator. She's here to extrapolate.
