I never interacted with Sheldon but he seemed like a good person and I can't say he hasn't effected my life since commander is my favorite format. I agree with Hawk in saying I think after Garfield and MaRo, Sheldon likely has had the biggest impact on the game by making what is now the most popular...

Damn, you've found my glowing rhetorical weak spot, flattering my favorite commanders. I am rendered powerless xD As a lore person I'll just say Kellan is a good bean imo and glad to see he has fun looking card. Might try to work him in as an alternate commander for the Cinderella deck I want to bu...

DirkGently just some thoughts; 0- Kellan is best boy and must be protected at all costs. 1- I think the most likely factor is [ Beluna Grandsquall // Seek Thrills is the second ever adventure matters legend and only one in URG vs Kellan, the Fae-Blooded // Birthright Boon who the another RW command...

GBU article is up if anyone's interested. TBH if Kellan, the Fae-Blooded wasn't in this set I think I'd be pretty disappointed, none of them appeal to me very much. Though I think Hylda of the Icy Crown will make a solid set-commander. I'm actually gonna build all 10 color pairs for Eldraine :rofl:...

Due to Eldraine 2, I've been listening to Into the Woods soundtrack and I'm very sad we will never have another Stephen Sondheim musical. (Even more so after looking into Bad Cinderella since I'm drawn to fairy tale adaptions like moths to a flame)

I don't understand what the Remastered sets are/are supposed to be. I've ignored the previous ones. Are they just drawing reprints from multiple related sets into a single release? Yes, Remaster are all reprint sets themed around a plane to be a "best hits" of that plane and lets you draf...

To follow up on @Venedrex post, the next 2.5 years of magic are; Last half of 2023 Wilds of Eldraine - Return to Eldraine with bigger focus on fairy tale theme Last Caverns of Ixalan- Return to Ixalan but with it as a backdrop for "Underground world" 2024 Murders at Karlov Manor- Return to...

Mookie the Twitter post these are from do say we are getting another enemy color land set (flavor being in a world asleep the lands have awaken), there will multicolor adventures but not all adventures will be multicolored. Also of note; Ashiok will be the only planeswalker, the new default for PW ...

The Barbie movie is a pink infused absurdist drug trip that is laced with feminism 101 teachings. 9/10 I couldn't stop laughing. Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling did a fantastic job as Barbie and Ken. Really enjoyable. It's fascinating that this kind of movie can even exist (corporate advertisement f...

Speaking of disturbing art, we just got a few art-only previews ... including a goose hydra(!). @TheGildedGoose, as one of the resident avian experts, any thoughts? hmmmm 1- On Maro blog there had been talks about a Redwall like world which this points too. 2- Many pointed out the imgain is also co...

We do have more main set to spoil right? Did we just stop mid season to see commander lists?

I think all the rares and mythics have been shown and tomorrow is the card image gallery dump.

EDIT: I love the colorless cards and fun to see a few non-eldrazi cards here and there just to see more of what colorless can be in magic outside of eldrazi and artifacts. I like Guff. Not everyone reacts to tragedy in the same way. Some people crack jokes to cope. That's what I always got from Guff...

Replacing teachers with AI or robots is dumb af. There is a ton of issues with the education system we have now but none of it will be fixed with replacing teachers with AI and will actively ruin future learning. As the goose says, pay teachers better.

I'm with pokken, Narci, Fable Singer looks awesome and I wanna build her despite already having a commander WBG deck and a WBG enchantment deck lol i love saga cards but Tom and Satsuki didn't call to me like Narci dose. To be fair he was one of the nine titans which is the highest requested charact...

I like the planeswalker cards, I'm finding I like how some creatures and such help support walkers which helps them play more of a role in the deck then just blocking for the walker. The bird one partially is fun since its a way to have combats when most of what you care getting out are non-creature...

Only 69 days until Wilds of Eldraine releases.

N I C E

Jokes aside, I'm very excited. Love fairy tale stuff, hope to see adventures returns and looking forward to see Will and Rowan post-desparking and Ashiok being an antagonist.

I miss Lindsay Ellis's video essays.

I forgot she had books out and I've tried to make it a goal for myself to read for pleaser again (outside of Magic fiction) since I lost that a bit during college. So might addd those to the list after I finish Song of Achilles.

Which is fun, but I think there is room to explore a more grounded, less over the top horror around every corner, but just a plane that has steampunk technology, grimy streets, greedy robber barons, a bit of magic sprinkled around, some arcane mysteries and rain soaked london-like cities and the li...

EDIT: Did the whole phryxian invasion thing happen to hit where the slivers live? I'm pretty sure they originated on Rath, no? If so, they're long gone. I haven't bothered to google so I could be wrong. I'm only wondering because well which would win: Slivers or Phryxians? Slivers original home pla...

The decks are also higher priced so better reprints and being a tighter deck also helps justify the price tag.

You mean these aren't gonna be the same standard $45?

They been preselling for ~$50-60 and its been noted that the other sealed products are at a higher price as well.

There is a discussion to be had about race-swapping characters when adapting one medium to another, but I don't think gaming forums is often the best place for it. As someone whose not fully white there has been some vile comments I've ended up seeing when I just wanna talk about how best to use the...

While it can get a bit ridiculous at times, I'm loving having all the alternate art and different frames since it's been keeping the regular versions cheaper.

I kinda like having multiple cards for the same character. It help fixes the issues of getting all the colors of the character in one card, can show the characters at multiple points at the story/using certain set of powers over others and if one version of them isn't your vibe you might like one of...
