All I am asking for is a fun RW Teddy Roosevelt card with Indestructible that encourages attacking. But yeah, I will say that I agree with RxPhantom in that outside of the Warhammer decks, which were some of the best designed precons of all time, I've been pretty meh on UB (though part of that might...

Izzet Otter?

You son of a %$#%, i'm in

*Should we tell him that Ral's an otter in the set as well?*

Fist of the Frostfire 2u Creature - Giant Warrior If [sym=s][sym=s][sym=s] was used to cast this spell, Fist of the Frostfire enters the battlefield with two +1/+1 counters. Boast - ss : Copy target ability you control. You may choose new targets for the copy. (Activate this ability only if this cr...

Anybody watched Hazbin Hotel? I binge watched it in a couple days while baby was sleeping. Story is just okay but damn does it feel good to watch some some 2d animation that is unapologetically a musical. Remember when we used to get those? Alastor is a total edgelord but I don't care, I loved ever...

Considering Airplane! is my favorite movie of all time (and the one I've seen the most), ZAZ (the writers and directors of Airplane!) have a very unique style of comedy in that it is rapid fire, dense, smart, sometimes subtle, and is treated seriously. Airplane! is their comedy style in its purest f...

I've noticed wotc putting a lot of attack triggers on commanders that probably shouldn't be attacking - like a 4/4 for 5 with no relevant combat abilities. Wonder if that's an intentional design decision. Wild guess, it could have something to do with encouraging newer players to attack? That way p...

I will say, I have seen a Giant tribal Ruhan deck once that looked like a lot of fun. And he is the right colors for it. So while not as popular as Hinata, Dawn-Crowned , I do think he is a fun, if a bit niche commander, which is better than fine. It's the type of commander that the format is all a...

@Guardman It makes perfect sense that Ruhan would be chosen for the collection given that it helmed his favorite deck for a decade - I'm just expressing my disappointment that his decision to never update the commander to something more compelling has inevitably resulted in his signature card being...

Per Good Morning Magic, Sheldon chose Ruhan of the Fomori and Inkshield personally. The reasoning can be found in the video below.

Thursday, February 15th, 2024; Kodama of the West Tree Kodama of the West Tree I really love Kodama of the West Tree . It's also one of the reasons I want to bend into Naya with my Rocco, Cabaretti Caterer // Tallowisp // Quintorius, Field Historian secret commander Naya Spirits looping Weight of C...

I run Helm of the Host in my Etali, Primal Storm deck were if I get one token out of it I am usually winning. I also had it in my Adrix and Nev, Twincasters deck when I had it together. But anything that could make nonlegendary copies of them, no matter the mana investment, tends to do crazy things.

Of note, there are a few things not yet implemented. Several frames still need to be finished. Modal DFC is coming soon, but most others are on the backburner for later. Token frame, borderless, host/augment, flip cards, etc. They're all a tentative "yes" for adding these, but not right a...

As a Blood Moon player, my only complaint is that they can grab basics. Oh, wait, we are talking about EDH... I do like that they can grab Triomes in three color decks. In most one and two color decks I avoid them unless I need to get a specific land like Mistveil Plains . Though that might change w...

good grief, the alternate art for Simic Kellan is atrocious. https://cards.scryfall.io/large/front/f/6/f60fcb1e-6136-4330-ae9b-57742fbb114f.jpg?1706242557 Why does he look so dopey? I'm not sure what expression his face is supposed to be making but it looks off. I do like his clothes and the backgr...

Thursday, February 1st, 2024; Rocco, Cabaretti Caterer Rocco, Cabaretti Caterer He is one of those commanders I hate to see just because most I see don't have him to grab an "honorary" commander, but to grab combo pieces. I will say that I have wanted to build him to make a Tallowisp deck...

So two cards I stumbled upon that looked interesting was Crisis of Conscience and Everything Comes to Dust . Crisis of Conscience is probably better in a pure token deck, but Everything Comes to Dust is an interesting one sided wraith for a tribal deck. And its cheap enough to include. I was wonderi...

I love the signets. I personally think they are better than the Talismans since the life loss can be relevant but rarely does the having to pay one to get two mana be an issue. Plus I have a lot of nostalgia for them and the karoos since I loved original Ravnica block.

Derp, sorry man - was so excited to talk everyone's favorite hotboi Vampire Rogue and help new players I missed that is just the stock LCI Vamps list. I like almost all those adds. I will say I've found The Gaffer a bit slow in Samwise (admittedly more of a token/grindy deck than a lifegain deck), ...

Temporal Extortion That's probably not a bad idea. I have a bunch of old Planar Chaos cards lying around, so I will have to see if I have a copy. Not sure where these land in your budget/already owned spare copies but I'd recommend: Exsanguinate Debt to the Deathless Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose Ta...

Astarion, the Decadent So my sister really loves Astarion, the Decadent from Baldur's Gate and has a few friends that play magic, so being the good big brother I am, decided to build her an Astarion, the Decadent commander deck. I figured the best way to go about it is to make a vampire/lifegain de...

Barkshell Artisan 2gw Creature - Elf Spellshaper Whenever you discard a card as an additional cost to cast a spell or activate an ability, you may tap two untapped white and/or green creatures you control. When you do, copy it and you may choose new targets for the copy. [sym=gw], [sym=t], Discard ...

Blood Spatter Analysis is a neat card that seems like it would be a good fit in my Henzie "Toolbox" Torre as good early removal that I can transform into a raise dead fairly easily.

Ardent Perfectionist [sym=2][sym=c][sym=r] Creature - Human Artificer At the beginning of combat on your turn, put a +1/+1 counter on target artifact creature you control. It gains haste until end of turn. Then if its power is 5 or greater, it gains trample until end of turn. 2/2 Next: [sym=w][sym=...

Ok now I'm having an existential crisis about how to pronounce Necropotence, a card name I've been saying out loud for nearly 30(!!!) years. Thanks. Please, I am having an existential crisis about whether I have been pronouncing omnipotence and impotence wrong. They are above the law, because Necro...
