Re: How many layers of sleeves do you use?
I always double-sleeve my cards: inners and outers. Doesn't matter if it's an expensive or cheap deck.

Re: Nadu, Winged Wisdom - There is a new King of the cEDH table
Nice CEDH brew! There are some people playing CEDH in my shop and the bird might actually be a commander I am interested in. Also considering building him for a more casual setting (maybe a focus on auras or something that's similarly janky?), but this guy is so easy to break :woozy:. EDIT: How good...

Re: [Off-Topic] Community Chat Thread
I'm not surprised. It's got that Feather quality where it does something novel and zany, yet useful. It's a cool design alright. We had a fun little thought exercise with the guys recently and we ranked the various decks of the ten years (!) of the group into a tier list. Not all of them existed at...

Re: [official] Card Sleeve and Deckbox discussion
I bought some Gamegenic Prime Sleeves this week and sleeved one of my new decks in it. First impression: these are excellent! They shuffle really smoothly and they are not as stiff as the Dragonshield Mattes that I have always been using so far. They are costed me 7 euros for 100 sleeves I think? Th...

Re: Avacyn, Angel of Hope - Mono-White 'Control'
Played one game with Avacyn yesterday. Game went pretty well initially - had access to plenty of draw and I got Avacyn out ahead of curve. However, there was one big problem matchup-wise: there was a Lord Windgrace deck at the table who got an Maze of Ith out pretty early. That was kind of inconven...

Re: Shaolin Stampede: Jeskai Go-Wide Enchantress
First of all, interesting take on Narset, Enlightened Exile ! I really like enchantment-based decks :check:. Here are some of my initial thoughts: I am not sure if Skullclamp is super good in Narset. When you cast Skullclamp existing 1-toughness creatures on your side of the board will get buffed ou...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Animal Friend
Monday, March 25th 2024; Animal Friend I wonder why they didn't go for mole-rats, since those are more in tune with Fallout lore. Card is... eh. Making a 4/4 should be doable if your deck is built around auras and equipments. But if you are equipping your creature/commander with 4/5 aura's and/or e...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Back to Basics
Sunday, March 24th 2024; Back to Basics Back to Basics|usg This and Blood Moon are the bane of my existence. My mana bases are really greedy 🤣. I generally run enough interaction to remove these effects, and I know which players in my LGS tend to run these, so I can play around them at least a bit.

Re: Narset, Enlightened Exile - WIP
Definitely consider adding Brought Back btw, narset being able to hit it and bring back fetchlands is pretty amazing. You can fetch fetch, brought back, then next turn do it again :D More fetches you run the better here, ofc. I visited my LGS today to browse through the single maps and I actually s...

Re: Narset, Enlightened Exile - WIP
Some initial changes based on goldfishing this list for a day - removed some ramp as the deck doesn't need that much of it and tweaked some categories. This might be the list I will be testing in my LGS. I have no idea how it will perform :P... kind of fun honestly, as I generally build decks and st...

Extra turns and combats are the obvious lines I think. But might be worth a couple. I like the rebound one since you can get three out of it. Thank you for responding!

Re: Balancing Act
If you play this card in relatively high power level pods, I think it won't raise many eyebrows, especially if your opponents are also playing cutthroat decks and cards, and able to respond to shenanigans like this. I ran a somewhat similar card ( Natural Balance ) in a decently strong Titania, Prot...

I have been playing since Onslaught - I was nine years old then :grin:.

On a completely unrelated note, I might give Star Wars Unlimited a try. Of course, since its FFG it will likely be shuttered in a year or two, but if not it might be fun.
