Commander ad Populum, Ep 179: Positive Learnings from The Dark

Ryan Peneff
March 9, 2022
Commander, Commander ad Populum

This week, I take a few minutes to highlight a couple really positive tweets I saw from a friend of the show. Some sentiments that made me happy to be part of such a great online community. After that, I go all in on The Dark Retro Set Remix!

Welcome to another very special episode of Commander ad Populum. Commander for the people, by the people, for the people.

If you’d like to give me your thoughts on today’s topics, hit me up on Twitter @CadPopCast. Make sure to check out the CadPop Community Spotlight on Twitter as well. It has the social media tags for all the great people, and channels, mentioned.
You can find me on Facebook, here: Facebook.com/CadPopCast. Both the Twitter and Facebook feeds have threads for each episode of Commander ad Populum. Let me know what you think.
If you’d like to support Commander ad Populum or my altered-art Magic card business, you can pledge on Patreon, here: Patreon.com/CadPopCast. There are a bunch of great benefits associated with being a patron. Especially if you’re into altered-art cards!
Big thank you to the official sponsor of Commander ad Populum, Fusion Gaming for making this episode, and future episodes possible!
