There isn't one.

I started using some aristocrat drains to close games. It fits the attrition-style nature of the deck.

The only Naya commander besides Hazezon, Shaper of Sand I've considered if only for being able to call the deck Rocco's Modern Life.

Seems more aware of the state of the game and/or more candid than I would have expected. My expectations have raised somewhat. Gifts unban when? Jim is great. I'm glad it appears as though he's stepping into the leadership role because I have a lot of respect for him not just as a player but also a...

Live and let live. This goes both ways. I respect their freedom to argue about anything under the sun but please respect our desire to not have pages-long arguments about tangentially related topics crowding up threads. There's a containment thread and it should be used by all parties after like tw...

Louder, for the folks in the back: I don't know why you all spend so much time and effort arguing with Dirk over something as subjective as his personal rankings of cards, especially when it's obvious that you're evaluating them from significantly differing viewpoints. I generally wouldn't care, as...

I wonder if @DirkGently could win with this in his group :rofl: Honestly at this point I'm more interested in hearing about Dirk giving himself a disadvantage in ways beyond deck building. You know, playing with your dominant arm behind your back on a time limit on your own turn, that kind of thing.

We haven't really covered it before, but how do we feel about Pit of Offerings ? *Slogurk has entered the chat* This is actually pretty good there because I'm also pretty graveyard-centric so Scavenger Grounds can be awkward. I can also easily sacrifice it to recur it as needed which is another hug...

Charnel Serenade is far and away the best of its cycle so far, and I'm not sure it's very good. It's so cool, though.

I want to play an unsleeved deck that donates cards to people so they have to touch my heavily, heavily played cards. Who should I build?

Build some courage and use it to seek help

😔

It's going to have a rubber band around it, too, just like when I was a kid.

Wasn't this another card that was going to destroy the format?

I love that black is getting more board wipes at less than six mana. Especially ones that allow for regeneration.

Incidentally, the first thing that came to mind when I saw Undergrowth Recon was Thawing Glaciers, an oldie but a goodie. I think it's perfectly playable in the right decks but not grossly imbalanced or a format staple. Great card, though its placement at mythic is questionable.

Undergrowth Recon - i wish it was a creature!

Now this is pod racing.

You haven't lived until you've resolved Nicol Bolas with a Dragon Tempest in play.

It depends. I have different budgets for different decks. $1DH, $50, and $100. No real rhyme or reason, but each price point has its challenges. As for shipping, I never calculate that for price, considering you can get most of the cards from a FLGS bulk bin. You do tend to lean into your commander ...

I don't see a lot lists playing Shigeki, Jukai Visionary. Channeled Shigeki seems real, real good to recur with Samwise, even in a deck playing a higher density of legendaries than normal.

I know it's a minuscule sample size but of the 35 games I've been tracking 27 of them have been won by one of the first two players in turn order. There's an obvious advantage in going earlier, but dang, I didn't expect it to be this pronounced. We'll see how the data levels out over time.

I'm disappointed people aren't as frustrated about the arbitrary spaces in mtg names. I always hoped there was some underlying rule that I just hadn't picked up on, kind of like how I just learned last week why the colors on dual lands are placed left to right in the order that they are (it's incon...

That cmc though....

Firemind foresaw high mana value matters in Prismari years down the road. Duh.

I used it as a cheap mainland to mutate Brokkos, Apex of Forever onto so I didn't have to run creatures. Completely fair Magic card.

Orchard is good tech, nice thinking.

Have you considered Volrath's Stronghold (if you own one) or Unholy Grotto? Those lands are sweet for Voltronish decks.
