I've never played or seen someone play commander. Although in the card search app i have i see that most cards are pretty cool. I've even seen some of you guys use em in your decks. I also have a comnander version of vampire nighthawk in one of my deck but it took a while to notice. Are there any rules to using commander cards in casual decks? (I have seen a commander card except it was huge, as in the card was friggin big. Whats the deal with that?)
On a sidenote: {Flusterstorm} is awesome. I want to get it for one of my decks.

They are not legal in Standard, or any real formats, so don't pack the to tourneys.  Otherwise, for casual, go to town!

The jumbo cards are the Commanders themselves.  They are the same size as Planes from Planechase and are exactly the same size as two magic cards side-by-side.

Awesome! Thanks!
I think ill look through the commander cards to see if there are any more interesting cards! ^^
how do i know wich are "Commanders" then?

Any legendary creature can be used as a commander.  If you do a search for the Commander deck lists it'll tell you more about them.  Great value for the price.  Especially Counterpunch now.

So would {B.F.M.} be quadruple its side
