Saturday, June 15th 2024; North Star North Star This isn't good, I don't think, but boy do I love to see these old ass cards come up like this. What a time. Old magic cards feel like a %$#% post. Kind of wish I was playing the game back then. 👍 For being funny North Star was awesome for a few minut...

Any recommendations for removal? Do I just throw in a couple of Blasphemous Act act effects so he doesn't have to do threat analysis more than "board big"? Ditto for non-creature removal? Just only a handful of sweepers? Or should I go basically full proactive and have him be the problem ...

I'm going to build an EDH deck for a friend mine who lives out of town. You have friends? Is it as good as people make it out to be? He likes dragons so I was thinking of building something that plays large fliers and turns right. Have you considered Scion of the Ur-Dragon ? "Late game I can f...

Side note, has anyone ever gotten to combo Balefire with Vault of the Archangel? No, but I have Chandra's Ignition with Wurmcoil Engine . . . Similar? Best use case I can remember seeing (was not my deck) for End-Raze Forerunners was a Gruul stompy deck that paired it with the oft-overlooked Breath...

One of these days I'm gonna put a whole butt deck inside of those top loaders that TCGPlayer sometimes sends me 💀. Just for the looks. Maybe do a pauper deck inside for extra eye rolls. ...what's a "butt deck"? I'm pretty sure she meant "a whole-ass" deck, as in "entire&quo...

Sunday, June 9th 2024; Gaddock Teeg Gaddock Teeg|puma One of the poster children for Rule 0 discussions. You either have the discussion (and may or may not agree to using Teeg) or you are likely a pubstomper playing it without prior discussion because you like trolling the table. . . (Hyberbole int...

Zero sleeves. Not in the 90s when I started, and not now (granted IRL games are virtually non-existent for em, but no sleeved when I do get a game).
They screw up the riffle shuffle with bridge too much.

I can't tell which parts of the above were meant to be taken seriously or unseriously, This was meant to be punny: What I am saying is that it does not matter if it's a vacuum, oven, or washing machine[1] Ya'know "Vacuum" (space vs appliance) . . . Which is why it was marked with the supe...

I received it on PC just now by clicking "Commander" when I was on the Commander page (to reload the page).

In a vacuum, you're more likely to win a 3P game than a 4P game, right? Wrong. I did say "in a vacuum". I know you said vacuum, and it's okay for us to disagree. What I am saying is that it does not matter if it's a vacuum, oven, or washing machine [1] - in the 30 years I have been playin...

Interestin theory, but I beleive it's foundation is based on a false premise In a vacuum, you're more likely to win a 3P game than a 4P game, right? Wrong. Victory viability is far too complex to reduce to "100%/# of players" - some decks may increase their likelyhood of victory in a three...

Okay somehow I didn't realize until just now the staggering coincidence which is that today is actually my birthday xD I'm 36 btw ew, old Not old! Significantly younger than some of us. . . Besides, after 30, it's no longer a "Birthday" it's the Anniversary of your 21st Birthday. . . . . ...

I hate that this is the de facto best werewolf commander with the day/night mechanic baked inside when werewolves are very definitively Gruul. Having built at least six different Werewolf/"Werewolf and wolf" builds since they first debuted in INN, I have to disagree heavily. For Werewolf ...

I have this in my Shapeshifter Tribal ( Halfdane ) on MTGO, sinc eit is all about making my own copies of other people's tech. Funniest use was copying the Stax player's Blind Obedience , who rage-quit "because my stuff should not enter tapped - only your stuff should. . . " Then again, it...

What's the best mana base I can build without any fetches? I built an excel sheet that calculates color percentage and helps classify how many lands need to produce each color. If I'm not running any fetches, then I prefer looking at non-typed "duals" - preferably starting with a 10-card ...

The (Jank) Dream: Kothophed in the 99, fielded with Aether Flash and Varchild's War-Riders . . . oh, and any of the aristocats death=life triggers.

I feel like this just wants something like Venser's Journal , if you ahev already gained the requisite life on Upkeep, then you can play out the attack/sacrifice/return however needed during the turn. Not sure it would make the cut in my Garza Vampire deck though, since that cares more about counter...

Ephemerate doesn't need two targets. I think he meant the first target and the rebound target. If you only have one creature and thet creature is removed before rebound, you have lost your second activation. Momentary Blink lets you chose when to recast (at the cost of possibly having it removed fr...

Tell me you have an emblem without saying you have an emblem.

Wasn't the fallout from this card (and Elspeth, Knight-Errant ) the reason they created the Emblem mechanic? Starting with DarkAscension Sorin?

Colorless: Coldsteel Heart, Arcum's Astrolabe, Replicating Ring You seem to have missed the most common Snow-support artifact - Extraplanar Lens . . . You don't need to play Lens anymore. I know that "it costs 3 " but realistically no, it doesn't. You really have to play it as a 4 so you ...

It's too bad the tokens were not named Powerstone Shard (and really weird that a Shard is more powerful than a full powerstone?).

Probably not a factor, but if your two lands tap for at least , it combos off with Aggravated Assault.

Sunday, March 24th 2024; Back to Basics Back to Basics|usg This, like so many other purported "anti-ramp"/"anti-greed" cards tends to fail at it's intended task. At least, in my experience, the rampant Ramper and 1k Manabase barely notice the interference and the tap-lands-budge...

I don't think Bog and crypt work to flip him. The targeted card has to still be in the graveyard, or the ability is countered, right? I thought the technique of the day was to empty the yard, then use his ability on the first binned card after it was empty. . . That said,., I have this in my Mono-B...
