The Squirreled Away Commander precon deck in Magic: The Gathering went from $50 to $80 with the release of Bloomburrow, and it can be yours for free by subscribing to MTG Madness.
The fifth installment of MTG Madness, running weekly, dropped on Aug. 16. The newsletter is an uncut recap of everything Magic: The Gathering you may have missed, along with exclusives like a Bloomburrow review of every card in the main set, format meta stats, card prices, and more. To celebrate the launch of MTG Madness, Dot Esports is giving away a BLB Squirreled Away Commander deck worth $80 to subscribers. Here’s how to get it.
Sign up for the MTG Madness newsletter via the box above and you’ll be automatically entered for a chance to win a free Squirreled Away deck. Whether you’re new to Commander or it’s your favorite format, the Squirreled Away precon is an excellent pickup.
In addition to a copy of Chatterfang, Squirrel General in the preconstructed MTG deck, you’ll get to play with the new Legendary Squirrel, Hazel of the Rootbloom. This deck was built for you if you like going wide with tokens and ramping into huge creatures like End-Raze Forerunners. The top Squirrels in the deck are Toski, Bearer of Secrets, Moonstone Eulogist, Scurry of Squirrels, and The Odd Acorn Gang.
The Squirreled Away deck also includes Aristocrat themes through MTG cards like Plaguecrafter in conjunction with Morbid Opportunist and Nadier’s Nighblade.
I purchased the Golgari deck because I’m a huge fan of Aristocrats. As an Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim simp, I’ve never played an Aristocrats-style build in Green and Black, and I’m excited to test it out with some Bloomburrow additions that I’ll be including in next week’s big MTG Madness edition, so be sure to subscribe.
