Welcome back to Commander Clash! The latest set, War of the Spark, is around the corner, and recently it was revealed that it's jam-packed with planeswalkers -- at least 36 of them! To celebrate this announcement, we decided to have a mini war of our own, pitting four of the planeswalkers that are currently eligible to be commanders. Here's what we picked:
- Crim summons Zombies from the grave with Liliana, Heretical Healer
- Richard assembles Jund Superfriends under the guidance of Lord Windgrace
- Seth steps far out of his comfort zone and goes for an aggressive Burn strategy with Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh
- Tomer has a new take on Mono White, going Superfriends and mobilizing for combat with Kytheon, Hero of Akros
The greatest planeswalker battle has begun! Or, well ... the warm-up to the greatest planeswalker battle has begun! Who will snatch victory? Let's find out! But first, a quick reminder: if you like Commander Clash. and other video content here on MTGGoldfish, make sure to subscribe to the MTGGoldfish Youtube Channel to keep up with the latest and greatest.

Post-Game Thoughts
I really liked my deck this week. I still believe that Mono White works best when you lean heavily on an Equipment theme, since most of White's traditional weaknesses -- card draw, ramp, and tutors especially -- are solved when you focus on Equipment. Sram, Senior Edificer is bae. I mean, yes, there's always Stax too, but I actually like the people I play with so I usually keep that to a minimum (Cataclysm is a beating in a Superfriends deck though!). But I've always been intrigued with the idea of making non-Equipment decks work in White, and I've always wanted to play Gideon Tribal, so this was a fun experiment!
I hope the run this deck again when the opportunity arises. I'm happy with my card choices for the most part, but I think it was less effective due to so many opposing planeswalkers, since a lot of my best cards rely on dealing combat damage to players and I don't get that benefit when I have to attack 'walkers. There's a gimmick that I haven't managed to pull off and I'm sure some of the viewers can figure it out, but thankfully I doubt the rest of the crew care enough to investigate so I can still surprise them with it!
Next Week: Viewer Submitted Decks!
Last week we asked you to submit your decks that you'd like to see us play in a future Commander Clash. We've chosen four of the decks and we'll be playing them next week! There were over a hundred submissions and some really awesome decks to choose from, possibly my favorite bunch ever, so big thank you to everyone who submitted a deck!
