I agree with @pokken about Arcane Denial, but there's a clean elegance to Counterspell; no caveats, no provisos, just a clean "no."

I wish they'd keep trying to explore more design space for Boros like they did in Strixhaven, instead of an endless parade of equipment commanders.

Lost my job friday, spent a total of 51 days with this company. I was at another company, had an ok position. I was recruited for this one and after 51 days there was this mini layoff thing and I just terminated on friday alongisde some other folks. Man companies suck. If you might be in a position...

I still don't vibe with UB, but having real historical figures as my commander is oddly appealing. Until we adapt a property that takes place during WWII… I'd consider a Churchill deck. Also, can we just get to Bloomburrow already? And Modern Horizons 3 being a sequel to Origins seems cool despite ...

When do spoilers for Cowboys of Moo Mesa start?

The lack of love for Airplane! is baffling me. While some of the jokes are of their time, that movie never fails to make me laugh. Surely I shouldn't have to defend Airplane! It's a classic!

I haven't used Gatherer for years now. I even kick $5 a month to Scryfall via Patreon. They're practically heroes.

I do kinda wish that Sheldon's favorite commander was something more interesting than Ruhan.

No amount of respect for Sheldon could make me play Ruhan. I hated Ruhan from the moment it was spoiled until the day I die.

Sir this is a Wendy's.

Did Sheldon ever discuss or play Eladamri's Vineyard or are they only playing up his love of wine?

Anyway, I'll probably pick this one up. Most of the cards are playable and that sweet looking Teferi's Protection is probably worth it on its own.

I run Helm of the Host in Yarok, the Desecrated for more ETB fun, and it's carried its weight.

I buy a handful of packs from most sets, and I keep at least three for a future chaos drafts or -and this is the dream- a Grand Melee Sealed event. Picture this: At least 25 players sitting in a circle. Players open eight packs to build their decks. Initially, players attack to the left, their spell...

I still buy a few packs of every set, but mostly buy singles these days. BUT, I do buy a few packs of each set to sock away for a chaos drafts or something else. I've been doing that for nearly a decade now. Maybe if we ever have a Nexus meetup...

I'm so tired of WotC's labyrinthine booster pack nonsense. Remember when they'd just print sets and sell them in packs and precons? Remember when you didn't t need a flow chart and a degree in engineering to figure out what was in a booster? Pepperidge Farm remembers. The reception to MKM seems to b...

Having to euthanize our third senior dog in two years. It never gets easier. No, it never does. The three times so that I've lost dogs are counted among the worst days of my life. I lost my old man Ferrous just last month. I'm sorry you're going through this, Goose. I hope your family has some good...

I finally sleeved up my The One Ring so hopefully that's enough to trigger it getting banned

Now you are truly lost...

Welcome back, btw.

I have to say that I've never had this urge. I kinda like my decks being a mishmash of stuff from across the multiverse. I haven't put any UB stuff in any of my decks, though.

Uril and Mayael are part of the old guard of a bygone era. I miss that time.

I know this isn't what the OP is going for, but I really like Primal Order.

My daughter has a fever and was up all night crying, I feel like a zombie. We got lucky and she's always slept really well, so I think this is my first completely sleepless night since she was born. This sucks.

I know that feeling. I hope she's feeling better. Have you given her anything?

I'd rather have Villainous Wealth, I think.

Secret Lairs have been freakin' terrible lately. Worthless cards with meh art.

Check out this real thought I had the other day: "What a stupid looking baby!"

I'm not proud of it.

How about a good old Debt to the Deathless or Exsanguinate?

I'm generally ok when they tinker with the ban list, but I'm still salty about losing Flash. Also, I really wanna play with Primeval Titan and Prophet of Kruphix, sooooo....
