so last month Sheldon did an AMA on reddit and here's the Q&A

Some great questions and answers

I run it in my Zedd deck, I picked one up after seeing another player (who is better and smarter at magic than me) use it. Same with yesterday's card, but I'm not sure which deck Sad robot is in lol.

I'm struggling to think of the last time I used my SFM in Commander. I think she jus sits in my cube never getting drafted.

I run here in my voltron build

my SFM went up in value..so yeah? I'd sell now if you're planning on it. They're going to drop as the hype dies down. If you weren't going to sell them, congrats? I made that mistake back when i got into the game, sold a foil SFM...I think the only way i'd sell the one I have now is if I needed the...

You know what would be awesome for next year's commander product, if they printed one deck from each of the RC. Naturally,it would have to be a deck that could work without the RL cards. The insert would be double sided to explain which RC member runs the deck,along with a link to the commander foru...

got it fixed

Personal preference. In other words, "Because I don't feel like it." Also consider that a typical collection is a relatively small sampling of cards. They simply don't have a large selection of high quality cards. Consequently, a single Wish card may literally be the best choice they have...

I'm not particularly hyped for this release. There's a general or two I'm interested in building and a couple cards I'll definitely run somewhere, but nothing that I'm frothing at the mouth to get my hands on. I will admit that Fire Emblem is probably more to blame for that than anything else, thou...

The point of bringing up Sheldon's use of Protean Hulk was to show that people (even a member of the RC) play cards for a variety of suboptimal but personally gratifying reasons that don't have to suit anyone else - A.K.A., "value". It wasn't a proposal of a perfect parallel between Wishi...

the problem with that example is that he main decks it. Why not just main deck whatever card you're going to wish for?

you still haven't addressed the following: why not just slot the cards instead of the wishes? Unless you're just using them to get niche,sliver bullet hate like boil et al....otherwise it seems to me a lazy way around tight deck building. Sorry I missed that part. Answer: For value. Just like Sheld...

*considers making a banding/horsemanship deck*

Why both? They don't interact at all, in fact banding makes horsemanship worse.

Cuz I like horsemanship and how no one expects it? I also may not fully understand how it makes it worse....

*considers making a banding/horsemanship deck*

I wouldn't be too upset about rift or studies getting reprinted (well except that I don't have much love lost for playing with or against rhystic study tbh - but monetarily I wouldn't care). But I've got a big ol' expensive collection. If the magic economy tanked I'd lose a LOT of money, asset-wise...

I'm gonna echo [mention]cryogen[/mention] 's comment on twitter :">

if i had green in my enduring ideal deck, I think i'd slot this card in it. I mean with ideal,it's like what else am i going to do with the cards in my hand?

now that all the cards have been spoiled, you feel as though Gavin followed through on his comments made in the following: Commander 2018 is full of great learning lessons. As the lead designer, I read through pretty much every thread on them and countless tweets. I read both praise and plenty of pe...

so far only card has screamed I need it for a deck and that's Song of the Worldsoul which will go into my enduring ideal deck

I wanna kick a rite of replication on Wall of Stolen Identity That's gonna be pretty hard. You'd have to have a static buff so it doesn't die, cast it without copying anything, and then finally cast rite on it. Otherwise you'll just copy whatever the wall already copied. *It as at this moment that ...

I wanna kick a rite of replication on Wall of Stolen Identity Well,now I totally know which single( Pramikon, Sky Rampart ) I want to buy from this set and I can use it in my Zeddruu deck..either replace Zed with it or as one of the 99 I'm not entirely sure what to make of Pramikon, Sky Rampart . Th...
