Magic: the Gathering

[spare harbor]

Yes

[leaden tide]

Yo what

||Did we just get a sequel to swords/path?||

||Yes it is destroy instead of exile, but holy cow I never thought they'd print another 1 mana white instant removal||

[fierce dragon]

||"our lives are built upon our pasts. what happens, then if we are cut off from them?" you turn into a land apparently||

[leaden tide]

Lmao literally getting mulched

[gloomy pagoda]

||Nah, that's white ramp||

[lucid jewel]

Ive done that before

Its a bad idea but I've been like 3 turns with no land drop

And did that

[leaden tide]

I mean ||save it for a chump blocker who's gonna die anyways feels like a reasonable move||

If you're behind like that.

[lucid jewel]

Thats basicly what I did || declared blocks killed it got a land, felt bad using it for that tho||

[slender moss]

||Since the Emeritus cycle has been the boons so far, I wonder if the white one will have Healing Salve as the prepared spell||

That would be so goofy if true

[leaden tide]

Sadly, ||I think they said on the reveal stream that it won't be.||

||So my guess is it will almost certainly be Swords to Plowshares.||

||Not sure on what black and green will be. Dark Ritual if they're going for 1 mana spells, but Demonic Tutor is also an option.||

||Green could be Giant Growth or Fog, maybe.||

[slender moss]

||It should at least feel like an og boon spell though||
||One mana that does three of something||

[dense orchid]

SOS predictions: ||The land ramp players need more power for their stompy||

[turbid falcon]

Honestly this is cheap enough that it might still be good in something like izzet prowess

[dense orchid]

No, not more for lessons

Anything but that

[leaden tide]

Yeah, it being a 2-drop is a useful thing in this meta.

[acoustic wedge]

Oooo i like this card

[surreal stag]

I think this is the best draft I’ve ever had

Holy **** mice go crazy in standard

[surreal stag]

Okay I’m still bad at the game I’m 2-2

[leaden tide]

Today at Target.

[surreal stag]

4-2!

[spare harbor]

the rare case where I can't deliberately misinterpret that as a factorial in a funny way

also next time we go back to strixhaven we'll get factorial version of mathemagics I'm calling it now

[lucid jewel]

[turbid falcon]

Turns out to my own probably unearned surprise that Living death is absolutely bonkers in Ashling the Limitless

You're already sticking elementals in the graveyard from evoking them all the time, and then on top of that when you sacrifice your existing board to the living death, ashling sees that and just turns your existing board into token copies, meaning realistically you basically come out with even more value from things already on board

So even if other players get some value off of the spell, you get so much more that its basically a game ending spell

Throw in the greater good I was working with on board and its no wonder I won that turn

[turbid falcon]

Also I just realized there's no way I'm gonna make prerelease weekend sigh I'll be gone all weekend for my brothers wedding, shame

[surreal stag]

awww rip

[leaden tide]

Damn this bonus sheet is stacked.

Can anyone guess the card based on the art/textbox?

[leaden tide]

Yay we did it! We broke Living Death!

[leaden tide]

Aww. That's a shame.

[lucid jewel]

that has to be cyclonic rift right?

6{U} is only like one card

[leaden tide]

Yep!

[lucid jewel]

and the art looks like cyclonic rift

[leaden tide]

That Japanese showcase art though. Man if there was ever a card I wanted to pull but know I won't.....

[lucid jewel]

i dont think ill ever open enough collectors boosters to open cool things like that

[leaden tide]

Yeah. Unless you order some japanese play boosters.

[leaden tide]

Pour one out for team Fog, folks.

Also merfolk abs

[charred ruin]

Ooooo

[lucid jewel]

Dammit

Like sure card good and that was the more likley target

I just wish it was fog

Brainstorm go brrrrr tho

[leaden tide]

Personally, my choice would have been Berserk. But this is probably the more usable version.

Oh my landfall deck wants this

Huh I wonder if this will make monogreen landfall a thing.

||- T1: Forest, [[Llanowar Elves]]||
||- T2: Forest, [[Badgermole Cub]], [[Tifa Lockhart]]||
||- T3: Forest, Planar Engineering (make sure you sac the earthbent land), swing for 64 with trample||

[lucid jewel]

4 land fall triggers for 4 mana is so good

[surreal stag]

its criminal that Shadowheart has a Beseech the Queen but not also having a Beseech the Mirror. BG3 Act 3 || A MIRROR IS THE ENTIRE CULMINATION OF HER ENTRIE STROY ||

[dense orchid]

Guys we broke Badgermole Cub

[lucid jewel]

This card looks decent

Just a 6/6 for 4

Or less depending

[leaden tide]

It feels like it's...not quite abusable, but exploitable by effects that care about high power/toughness. Getting the number 6 down so far ahead of the curve could be used to great advantage.

[gloomy pagoda]

||Are we missing reminder text about stun counters? Because a 6/6 for 1 that enters tapped sounds busted||

[lucid jewel]

3 minus 3 is 0

[lucid jewel]

Ohhh

[leaden tide]

It's at rare, so it gets to skip reminder text for evergreen mechanics.

When I saw this preview, I read the textbox in reverse order.

Went from ||Huh that's a pretty good enabler for Eldrazi de......excuse me what the [redacted]????!?!?!??!?!?||

[lucid jewel]

What does this do im confused

[charred ruin]

||choose all lands with the same name and shut them off. So Strip Mine, fetchlands, basically any land with sacrifice effects won't work||

[lucid jewel]

Oh that's actually really useful

Going in so many decks

[leaden tide]

||Maze of Ith, Rogue's Passage....||

[plush bear]

||Otawara hate in 2026?||

[leaden tide]

https://tenor.com/view/principal-skinner-yes-seymour-skinner-the-simpsons-enthusiastic-yes-gif-15806751

[spare harbor]

That’s going straight in my alexios deck (everything that stops maze of ith is necessary)

[turbid falcon]

Wow

That's a really neat bit of tech

[lucid jewel]

That card shuts off the station lands too

Which is cool

[surreal stag]

my buddy convinced me that my Ygra combo deck deserves to run Necropotence....here we go

[lucid jewel]

OH

let me know how that goes

[surreal stag]

first playtest i dropped it turn 4 paid 30 life, still needed 2 turns to get the combo. next playtest i had the win turn 5 without it lol

that you RNJesus for the confidence booster lol

ive looked a million times but i cant help but think im missing a "sac an artifact/creature for free" outlet

[leaden tide]

Sometimes you just gotta draw the right cards.

[surreal stag]

these do it for free others do it repetably but for a cost.

[leaden tide]

If it's about hitting a certain density of stuff, there's always Ashnod's Altar

[surreal stag]

thats what Sir Bs scales is

okay before you shame me. I did just put Viscera Seer, Carrion Feeder and Savvy Hunter back in the deck....

and spawning pit.... okay i fudged up lol

[leaden tide]

Oooh those are some good ones

[surreal stag]

Savvy hunter/took is risky now that i run the Necro. I could mill myself out of the game, but if everyone is dead then i dont care right?

if i force myself to draw a card and cant do i instantly lose or is that only on your draw step?

yes i can how did i not know this.

[spare harbor]

Altar of dementia?

[spare harbor]

If you try to draw from an empty library you lose the game

121.4. A player who attempts to draw a card from a library with no cards in it loses the game the next time a player would receive priority. (This is a state-based action. See rule 704.)

[surreal stag]

yup google learned me.

well drawing cards from food sac is gone.

[spare harbor]

I’d say it’s probably good to keep at least one of them, you’re not always going to have necro and they’ll be really good sources of card advantage in those situations

[surreal stag]

yea you right

[spare harbor]

And like even if you do get necro, you can just use a different sac outlet bc you’ll probably have drawn into one

[surreal stag]

so Took stays cuz he does more things without combat

so i can pilot this thing im retagging the infinit engines/payoffs etc etc

i want a list of "okay i have this i need these" to reference

[leaden tide]

Yep. There's a handful of cards that protect you from this, but most are in blue. https://tagger.scryfall.com/tags/card/empty-library

[surreal stag]

yea im good on that lol i just wont build that combo. Right now i have two different combos i can build and Took is only an engine in one of them if i have a deep library

[surreal stag]

Combo 1: Sac a food > create a food/treasure > i ping/mill you to death.
Combo 2: Sac a food > kitty + make a plant > sac kitty > repeat.

so i either need 1 card from the first three lists each or a sac outlet and the two spicific cards from C2

everyhting else in the deck is jsut a way to find these things.

[spare harbor]

The food you’re saccing are actually creatures food-ed by ygra, right?

[surreal stag]

yes

so all my outlets sac creatures or artifacts and then those two card make a food when i sac a food

[spare harbor]

Re:this if you’re not already on altar of dementia you should be

https://scryfall.com/card/mh1/218/altar-of-dementia

Unless you’ve tried it and it doesn’t work ofc

[surreal stag]

yea that and griding staiton both just went in. those are the extra spiecal two card combos with the cards "sac a food make a food"

i really dont like two card combos in a deck with so many tutors so thats the backup plan if Ygra gets shot liek 2-3 times lol

no wait both need ygra still. im dumb

ignore

[spare harbor]

It’s really a 3 card combo though, right? Ygra to enable, sac outlet with payoff, and thing to make new token when you sac

Ope too late

🥷

[surreal stag]

lol well with Acadamy Manuifactor and Nuka Cola machine Griding Station is a 3 card not dependent on Ygra. so.....yea i have one back up plan lol

add Chaterfang and Took to that list.

wait just Took

Chatter only makes artifacts with ygra.

which means i have three Ygra combos i can search for.....this is never going to end.

okay i think ive got 3 with Ygra and then one that doesn't require Ygra

i gotta srtop looking at this im going crazy

[spare harbor]

That’s so real

(Me crafting a 11 card combo at 1 am last week)

[surreal stag]

the last time i put together this commander i without thinking about infinite combos just went "food synergies" and every game i played i would stumble into an infinite combo that ended the game before i could swing a big kitty at someone. It made me feel dumb AF not knowing what i was doing. This time im buidling her to spcifically do a combo and i want to make sure i know what im doing.

[leaden tide]

Looks like they're previewing the whole rest of the Mystical Archive today. I'm not gonna bother posting them individually because there's so many. But there's some bangers in there.

[surreal stag]

nice

last post about ygra i swear lol

[lucid jewel]

I think this one's my fav

[surreal stag]

omg its beautiful

[leaden tide]

Leak of the black Emeritus

||Totally called it with Demonic Tutor||

[surreal stag]

LETS FREAKING GOOOOOOO

[lucid jewel]

That card loves to hang out with sephiroph or searches him up even

[surreal stag]

she can call me any day

[turbid falcon]

Really all you need to do is have a replacement effect for drawing

For example, that one lich that replaces draw with mill will keep you from killing yourself

[surreal stag]

Big true

[lucid jewel]

Crabs crabs crabs crabs

Such amazing art

[turbid falcon]

That's not even a crab

A horshoe crab isn't, well, a crab

[lucid jewel]

Creature type is fractal crab

So it crab

[turbid falcon]

Look it's great art

But horseshoe crabs far predate modern crabs

I'm going to be pedantic about this and no one can stop me

[upper moon]

Pedantry? In my pedantry server? Unthinkable

[surreal stag]

Ygra is waiting for Black Emeratas and a specific cooking pot to be annoucned....

[surreal stag]

||Paradigm doesnt require you to cast a second copy of that spell right? once you cast it once. You have meet the requirements to cast a copy of it at the first mian phase fopr the rest of the game right?||

[lucid jewel]

i believe so

heres the reminder text

||https://cards.scryfall.io/large/front/d/0/d01fe6e9-49ee-4708-833e-75cd5a9f167c.jpg?1774973398||

[surreal stag]

yea me and bud were jsut confused. the wording could have been more clear but it works the way we think

[leaden tide]

Hmm this might be good in my prowess deck.

I have a lot of spells that target my own creatures, things like Artful Dodge and Bulk Up. Getting both a prowess trigger and a permanent +1/+1 off of those would be cool.

[lucid jewel]

Each is such a powerful word

[leaden tide]

Yeah, it's got legs

[leaden tide]

And the sequel

[leaden tide]

I knew we new it wasn't gonna happen but

||RIP Healing Salve 💔 ||

[leaden tide]

Hmm this actually seems pretty crap

Like damn they put so many kiddie gloves on it.

||Not only does it only become prepared once on its own, it also has to give the opponent a body first to prevent flickering it.||

I get their reasoning, but idk, feels like they kinda neutered it. Maybe there was no balanced way to handle it?

[sleek valley]

Target player, not target opponent. If you don't need to give it to them to trigger the effect, you can give it to yourself.

[acoustic wedge]

Especially compared to the other emerituses? Emeritai? The other ones.

[leaden tide]

Hmm true. That makes it somewhat better as catchup process. But it's still pretty weak if your opponent isn't going wide.

[lucid jewel]

this one definatly seems weak compared to others

the fact you need to blink it to prepare it again is annoying

[surreal stag]

this card shows up to a party and Solitude is there. They just leave

[rare sparrow]

interesting to see differences of opinions, because this emeritus is the one that seems the strongest to me of all 5

[lucid jewel]

How

[rare sparrow]

4 mana for two creatures and a swords

like yes, sometimes it is not two creatures

but you should probably not be playing in decks where you are going super wide

also a reflection of me thinking the emeritus cycle in general is going to be fairly weak

[leaden tide]

Most of the emeritus cycle is gonna be somewhat abusable in Commander, but probably won't really cut its teeth elsewhere.

[rare sparrow]

||red one is a weak creature that requires going pretty far out of your way to prepare it just to get a bolt, green one is a 5 mana eternal witness with the chance to maybe regrowth a second time, blue one compares poorly to other 5+ mana blue creatures like quantum riddler, black one is probably just a worse rune-scarred demon||

||white one is actually helped by commander, there's a much better chance you have an opponent with more creatures than you||

[lucid jewel]

This does give commander decks second copies of these spells

So I could see the white one in many decks just for a second copy

This is a cool commander

[surreal stag]

building a mono black zombie pauper EDH deck. Do i go with "each opponet looses life i gain life" type stuff or be a degenerate and go with "each oppent discards/exiles a card from hand"

pause i didnt have nearly enought recursion need to cut 17 cards.

[leaden tide]

I feel like lifedrain/gain is the classic black, and also will be more fun on average for your playgroup.

[surreal stag]

yea

so at common rarity theres really no good sweepers. its all -1/-1 or -2/-2

but i guess in papuer people arnt playing that many big idiot creatures

[leaden tide]

What are the targeted options at common?

[surreal stag]

im goign to run the first three

mioght be a bit much

who needs to draw cards when you can jsut get your cards back haha

[turbid falcon]

Ooh definitely an add

[surreal stag]

Oh best part of this deck. Stitchers supplier in the command zone.

[dense orchid]

You have to include Gary in the deck

And the best part is, he has been printed at uncommon as well! I just like this art more

[leaden tide]

Classic Gary is best Gary

[surreal stag]

You already know

[lucid jewel]

Im thinking this might be super good in sephiroph standard decks. I see so much support in strix for sephiroph style gameplay

So like a 1 cost boy turn one, mabey some Inkling summoner turn 2, sephiroph turn 3 declining his 1st trigger then this turn 4

Feels strong

[lucid jewel]

THIS ART IS SO GOOD

[surreal stag]

Played it three times last night. Swapped commanders on third game. Now I’m rebuilding with Syr Konrad at the helm

[leaden tide]

Classic

[surreal stag]

https://moxfield.com/decks/ugoOMYsgIkWb1CDSra2mIQ

I need cut suggestions if you are bored

[leaden tide]

Okay but the Japanese art

[leaden tide]

Aww man I'd love to but I'm about to go out running erands.

[surreal stag]

The list is ever changing you’re input whenever you have time is appreciated

[lucid jewel]

I might need that

[lucid jewel]

they heard we like oroboros

||https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1066081098641182841/1491851799307620567/RDT_20260409_1326044376902608688870872.jpg?ex=69d932c2&is=69d7e142&hm=f90c15af721c3adabb19c4e47dcff5ca9a385b00a085906414f501c03815667e&||

oroboros turn 4 this turn 5 goes so hard

so like lanowar turn 1, turn 2 mole cub, turn 3 oroboros, turn 4 this

is LARGE

[dense orchid]

Landfall doesn't need more support!

Let me just mill you for everything you're worth

[lucid jewel]

At this point its not even land fall its just green big creatures that GROW

[leaden tide]

Are games lasting long enough in Standard for it to be worth it though?

I'll see if I can fit this in my Toph commander deck though.

[dense orchid]

They do for me. Granted I'm playing a control mill deck so I'm not a normal Standard player

[lucid jewel]

Yes

[leaden tide]

Well I'm glad Standard has slowed down a bit, at least on the casual side.

[lucid jewel]

Standard not only slowed down

But its so so wide right now

Almost every deck is competative

[lucid jewel]

That deck is one of the like top most played deck

Its helping define the standard meta

https://youtu.be/y42u7KR0gMU

This vid is relativly correct still

[dense orchid]

Really? I've barely come across other mill decks

[surreal stag]

i can confirm that in Gold/Plat i see a lot of different decks and ive got three i play that have very similar win/loss ratios.

please remember it is me piloting those decks....

[lucid jewel]

Even up in high diamond /mythic

Its wide open

[surreal stag]

ill never play enough to get there and if i did id hate myself

if i get to plat 4 i get my 4 packs and continue on with my life

[surreal stag]

So for prerelease you get to pick your college but that doesn’t have anything to do with the packs inside it right?

[spare harbor]

Looks like you get 5 regular packs and one themed pack?

https://wpn.wizards.com/en/products/secrets-of-strixhaven

[leaden tide]

Yeah it's like Dragonstorm or AtlA where one of the packs is focused on a specific color (or in this case, color combo)

[lucid jewel]

Dam I really wanna go

[surreal stag]

Oh that’s sick

My store better have a ton of these

[leaden tide]

I'm not sure I'll get the chance to do a proper pre-release for the set.

They're doing something Strixhaven at Jordancon, but it might only be a draft, which is at the same time as some other things I want to go to.

And then I get back on Monday, and my LGS has one last pre-release that evening. But by then they will likely be out of pre-release packs, so they'd just give me 6 boosters.

[surreal stag]

I’ll finally get a spin down dice haha

[surreal stag]

i think its done

[leaden tide]

Oooh looks fun. Very low and agressive curve.

Question: Are you not planning on ramping much then, and just getting your commander out when he gets out?

[wanton hazel]

Some stores will let you pick, but some will not, fwiw. They want to avoid the advantage of randomly getting asked first if there’s a difference in packs

[surreal stag]

Yea that’s fair

[surreal stag]

okay ive cooked. yesturday i had the (im sure not so original idea) to run Gitrog Ravenous Ride as a landfall commander and have lots of really cheap high power creatures with awful downsides. I saddle Gitrog with them, sac them on combat damage, play lots of lands, profit.

built it with 1 & 3 mana ramp to get the boy on field ASAP. the problem is i had no landfall payoffs

swapped to 2 mana ramp and this happend.

https://tenor.com/view/jarvis-vine-boom-jarvis-vine-boom-gif-24471837

[leaden tide]

That's a lot of tokens

[surreal stag]

3 mana ramp only.

not as exspolisive but i think the first pic was jsut god luck

protection in hand, landfall tirggers on board and in hand, as if a traple deathtouch lifelinking frog wasnt enough i can make it fly.

[surreal stag]

https://moxfield.com/decks/LwszmjEYeUKB97jh1l_sXw

might be the quickest ive ever built a functioning deck

[leaden tide]

Oh nice, that's cool!

[surreal stag]

i have a severe concern that every day i get further and further away from Adonalsium

[leaden tide]

A card that is (once again) surprisingly balanced despite how abusable it is.

[turbid falcon]

Huh, neat

Wait I WILL be able to go to pre release
I was looking at the actual release date of the set

[surreal stag]

LETS GOOO

[leaden tide]

Oooh damn, a really good 3-drop mana rock for spellslinger decks

Spellslingers are (unsurprisingly) eating really good this set.

Lesgooooooo, new card for lil' guy tribal

[surreal stag]

i lvoe him

[leaden tide]

I swear this whole set is beautiful person tribal.

[surreal stag]

omg and she belittles you while she does it.

[surreal stag]

F R O G

[dense orchid]

How many cards do we think are going to prepare other cards? We've got 1 land that does that and 1 artifact creature

[leaden tide]

Full set reveal was today. So I think that's all we get.

[surreal stag]

Yup it’s that land and blink/flicker

[dense orchid]

At least it doesn't seem super abuseable in standard. Any other format though, could be a problem

[surreal stag]

Yes in commander I think you’re either a deck built around blink or you only use the ones that reset themselves

Like most of the black ones in the right decks just get prepaired again just from doing what your deck is already doing

[dense orchid]

Sky Coach in my Abuelo blink deck could be fun

Or Elite Interceptor

[past lava]

The perils of using random decklists i found online: spent 20 minutes comboing in stella lee deck but the deck had 0 wincons (and also 0 interaction at all)

[leaden tide]

Any of the ones that ETB are gonna be abused with Displacer kitten

[surreal stag]

there is also an artifact that does this

[acoustic wedge]

I was there. It was rough

[molten maple]

I just had the god hand guys...

My first turn 4 commander win

Commander: Fire lord Azula

Starting hand:
3 untapped lands in all 3 colors
Sol Ring
Swiftfoot Boots
Twinning Staff (spell copier artifact)
Gifts Ungiven (tutor)

Turn 1 draw is Seething song (ritual spell)

Turn 1 I get my sol ring/swiftfoot boots out

Turn 2 I get my twinning staff out

Turn 3 Azula comes out, swings but doesnt do much because I only have 2 firebending mana to work with

Turn 4 Azula swings again and I tutor pretty much every good card in my deck with the 3x gifts ungiven, create an infinite mana combo with rituals + reiterate, then finish everyone with Expansion/Explosion for x = 1 billion

[leaden tide]

And this folks, is why you always remove Azula as soon as she hits the board.

3x Gifts Ungiven is wild, very fun.

[molten maple]

Once the swiftfoot boots were equipped it was over

To be fair, that was pretty much the best possible draw you can get, except maybe starting with the Seething Song + Reiterate

But also, yeah if Azula gets to attack even 1 time the game is pretty likely over

[leaden tide]

Yeah. They could have Swords to Plowshared her while the equip ability was on the stack, but otherwise your table was doomed lol

Seriously god-tier hand.

It's wild to me that Gifts Ungiven is an instant.

[molten maple]

Yup...

Very strong card, it feels like it should be sorcery speed

[surreal stag]

Played Yee Haw frog three times today. Works for sure but needed some tuning

[surreal stag]

does anyone knwo of a card that on ETB makes tokens equal to number of lands that is not Avenger of Zendikar or the Gruul guy?

[native light]

https://scryfall.com/search?q=o%3A"creature+token+for+each+land+you+control"&unique=cards&as=grid&order=name

For specifically the avenger effect there are only 3. But if you mess around with the quote I'm sure you can find stuff with slightly different effects

[surreal stag]

rip yea ulting a PW in commander aint gunna happen. im in Golgari so damn.

should thought i to search those words lol

[turbid falcon]

May I introduce you to proliferate

[surreal stag]

yea yea yea

not looking to rebuild the deck to fit in proliferate cards for a single PW payoff

[turbid falcon]

Fair enough

When I'm building commander decks, I usually don't include a Planeswalker unless I specifically want it's +1 or static ability

[lucid jewel]

just become a superfriends deck its fine

[turbid falcon]

The ult barely factors in

[surreal stag]

yea like i love Vraska Golgari Queen in some decks but that -6 you lose now is never the plan lol

[turbid falcon]

She is great lol

[surreal stag]

sad she didnt fit in the new Ygra deck but i need more movement than one sac for 1 card per turn

[stiff horizon]

I don’t know if I’ve ever used a planeswalker ult in any magic game I’ve ever played

[leaden tide]

I personally treat Planeswalkers as a one or two turn protection spell. They come down, maybe do something you find useful, and then they draw agro away from you if their ult is scary enough.

[surreal stag]

i have once. Someone on Arena let the new Ajani go for.....4 turns and i dropped every one drop in my deck on one turn lol

sorry 3 drops

oh my bad 5 TURNS

[molten maple]

So, I wanted to make a commander deck built around Vigor, who makes it so that if your other creatures would take damage they gain +1/+1 counters instead, and then spam fight spells on big dudes

But I realized Vigor is not a legendary creature 🙁

Do you think it would be possible to create a "hidden commander" version of that deck? Who would the actual commander be?

I think it would be spread too thin...

I would need:
Ramp
Tutors
Fight spells
A ton of creatures
Protection
Card Draw

[stiff horizon]

could pick a golgari commander and play a selection of black tutors and green creature tutors

[molten maple]

Oh and graveyard recursion to get Vigor back

It just feels like too many things to put in one deck

[leaden tide]

Have you looked at modal spells like charms/commands, spree, split cards, etc?

[surreal stag]

these are the basics that can fit into any Golgari deck IMO

come into my office.

[leaden tide]

There's a lot of cards in Magic that can do double-duty at the cost of being slightly less efficient.

[stiff horizon]

and if you're playing green, you can out ramp the inefficiency anyway

[leaden tide]

You're running Vigor right? So you want creatures that also ramp, well there's tons of mana dorks in green.

And not all of them are even 1/1s like Llanowar elves, there's some chonkier bois that can produce mana.

[surreal stag]

did you say get Vigor back all the time?

i think you did.

getting 6 things to die for value in golgari is basically alwyas going to happen.

I would say you ramp at 2 CMC only. you can drop mander t3, and then just start the value engines to dig for Vigor while stacking up exp counters.

[leaden tide]

There's also this fine lady if you want to double up on getting experience counters for....literally playing the game.

[surreal stag]

yea she goes in for sure jsut for the easy counters.

[leaden tide]

Yep. Don't even need to build into landfall to get good value for her.

Heck, her earthbending is also useful because it gives you a creature that you can throw at a blocker/sac to something and it comes right back. Gives you an experience counter off of both Meren and herself

(yes there's a reason she's like a $50 card)

[surreal stag]

half of these make it so vigor doesnt really die

https://scryfall.com/search?q=otag%3Aprotects-creature+commander%3Agolgari&unique=cards&as=grid&order=edhrec

then there is this.

you have activated me like a russian sleeper agent.

youre new best friend, this thing does so much

https://scryfall.com/search?q=otag%3Aremoval-fight+commander%3Agolgari&unique=cards&as=grid&order=edhrec\

a lot of these do more than 1 thing for you

[molten maple]

Ayy this would be a great commander though, nice

[surreal stag]

dig through your deck take the best stuff.

[molten maple]

Having my commander completely take care of recursion is really good

Green has a ton of creature tutors too right?

I already have a worldy tutor that I got from my avatar commander box, but ill need probably like 4-5 more

[leaden tide]

https://scryfall.com/search?q=otag%3Atutor-creature+commander%3Agolgari&unique=cards&as=grid&order=name

(note that this doesn't even cover regular tutors like Demonic Tutor, etc)

[surreal stag]

the goats imo

theres also Entomb. which with your mander just pulls whatever you put i there back for you

https://scryfall.com/search?q=otag%3Atutor-to-graveyard+commander%3Agolgari&unique=cards&as=grid&order=edhrec

[molten maple]

Oh, lmfao, Defense of the Heart is a great card, I use it as a combo piece in my Yuna deck

[surreal stag]

Six and Blossoming Tortuse are great for churning through a deck and Six gives everything retrace

cards with dredge are great for reanimator

[molten maple]

Problem with DotH is your opponents will stop at nothing to stop it from going off

[surreal stag]

https://moxfield.com/decks/bKLn-yXWwUmX9xxYtdQsEQ

this deck is "throw everyhting in the grave and get it back".deck

please god turn off deck tags to see what actual nresult of each card lol

9-12 2 mana ramp pieces, or you go all dorks + badgermole cub so you have more bodies

these are the tutors i run in my combo deck for reference

mirror probs not cuz it wont put Vigor into play for you

[leaden tide]

Thinking about it, Earthbending could be a fun way to build in to this kind of deck. Gives you bodies that like counters, and also helps harden your board state against removal

[surreal stag]

i would caution about going into heavy earthbend if the commander doesnt say Earthbend on it

in Jund theres 12-13 EB cards good enough to fill out a portion of the deck and even with HEARTHHULL as the commander your just a worse lands matter deck.

[molten maple]

These are good suggestions, thanks guys

Im gonna start theory crafting when I get home today

[surreal stag]

you but up the Golgari bat signal and i blacked out.

[stiff horizon]

funny enough I don't think they ever mentioned golgari, I think I suggested golgari and everyone started running with it

[molten maple]

Golgari does make sense though, its really good at graveyard recursion which is super important for a hidden commander type deck

[leaden tide]

Eldrazi go brr?

[turbid falcon]

More like eldrazi go incomprehensible eldritch noises

[lucid jewel]

Brrr indeed

But there is a silent arbiter and pramikon on the feild so things are a bit slow

[molten maple]

What are good ways to get my fight spells back from the graveyard? I am going to need a lot of them too

[dense orchid]

Secrets of Strixhave spoilers: ||Regrowth, Emeritus of Abundance, Harness Infinity. I like Infinity the most because you get your entire graveyard back||

There are probably others that would work too, my mind just went to Strixhaven

[uneven hill]

Oh I've been working on something. I want to do jeopardy like game for my friends, and I want one of the categories to be "Magic memes", I personally really only know a few mtg memes, "Dies to doom blade" and "Reading the card, explains the card", what are some others that I could use? I honestly haven't played a huge amount of magic so I am looking for someone to give me more of them.

I might do one for Questing Beast as well.

[dense orchid]

Bolt the bird and Colossal Dreadmaw would be good inclusions

[uneven hill]

Can you explain them to me?

[stiff horizon]

is bolt the bird as much a meme as it's just advice?
the saying basically just boils down to saying that it's worth killing a turn 1 birds of paradise with a turn 1 lightning bolt of your own in formats where they're legal

[uneven hill]

Oh the bird.

Bolting birds go against my natural programing.

[dense orchid]

First printed in 2017, Colossal Dreadmaw got printed in 2 back to back sets, then was deemed important enough by Wizards to include on the 25th anniversary set. Keep in mind the 25th anniversary was 2018

So basically because Wizards seemed to think Dreadmaw was so good, the community memed that it was the best card ever printed

This is our lord and savior Colossal Dreadmaw for context

[turbid falcon]

Its also just a good card for limited

6/6 trample for 6 at common just kinda works well

[dense orchid]

It's Mr. Steal Yo Girl

[uneven hill]

So it's the Chillwind Yeti/Boulderfist Ogre of Mtg?

[gloomy pagoda]

You should have Meandering Towershell twice

Or better yet, instead of giving the category a name, just put a picture of Meandering Towershell, and then have an answer about it

[molten maple]

Pretty blatantly overpowered card tbh, lets be honest

It damage THROUGH blockers with less toughness than it? How broken is that?

[dense orchid]

And look at how much power the Dreadmaw has! How could anything stand up to his majesty?

[molten maple]

I kneel

[slender moss]

WotC also quickly picked up on the joke and printed variants:

[upper moon]

banding

[slender moss]

Okay I actually won several games in a meme tournament because I got an emblem with "Creatures you control have banding" for my Hare Apparent deck

[uneven hill]

I don't know what any of that means.

[gloomy pagoda]

I don't know if it still is, but once upon a time this was a popular crempost in spoilers season

[leaden tide]

Don't forget this playtest card

[uneven hill]

Died in my nuzlocke o7

[charred ruin]

And the follow-up

[leaden tide]

my son

[surreal stag]

I storming love this deck. Just won because I Animate Dead an Impulsivity>saw in half my Massacre Wurm> Colossal Grave Reaver on board I now have 3 Massacre Wurms everyone dies

[surreal stag]

Everyone being me

[molten maple]

It is pretty crazy though

At one point in time Collossal Dreadmaw wouldve been unironically a pretty strong creature

Now you have creatures like this

The same cost and stat line and trample, but give it haste and two very powerful abilities

Creature powercreep is pretty crazy

[leaden tide]

The Praetors have kinda always been juiced. The old ones are still pretty playable in a lot of formats.

But yeah the second wave of them are really pretty nuts.

[molten maple]

yall

i totally forgot Vigor puts himself back into the library if he would be put into your graveyard

so all that Golgari stuff we theorycrafted was USELESS

💀

oof, I am gonna need a new commander

[stiff horizon]

Green and black still have the best ways to tutor for creatures though

[molten maple]

green has all the tutors I need on its own

honestly green has almost everything I need (protection, fight spells, strong creatures, ramp)

what I need is something to recur my fight spells. I was thinking about Muldrotha but a 6 drop creature just to get fight spells back seems very excessive

[stiff horizon]

Could do something temur for songcrafter and snapcaster mage

[surreal stag]

https://tenor.com/view/batman-lonely-rain-sad-gif-7792030237214898863

[leaden tide]

Pat pat Gymsocks

[leaden tide]

Lmao they're making a Dwarf Fortress secret lair

[tepid stirrup]

lmao hwhat

Is that real?

[gloomy pagoda]

The Terror should've been an elephant or a carp

[leaden tide]

Quite! My Little Pony is also back.
https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/announcements/secret-lair-back-to-school-superdrop

(both are still miles better than the Spongebob secret lairs)

[tepid stirrup]

.... back to school?

Bizarre

[leaden tide]

Yeah because Strixhaven. Really weird timing with it being the end of the school year

[tepid stirrup]

Oh yeah I guess so. The lockers had me hung up on the Fantasy High vibe rather than Strixhaven

[native light]

The dwarf fortress sld is so silly that it wraps back around to being awesome

[turbid falcon]

Big update for prerelease

I'm bringing my brother and my friend

[lucid jewel]

Hype

[molten maple]

Golgari is out for the Vigor hidden commander deck because he cant go to the graveyard

We Gruul now

[dense orchid]

Must includes
Xenagos God of Revels
Savage Ventmaw+ Aggravated Assault (infinite combo, infinite mana+ infinite combat)

[lucid jewel]

Just gonna put this out there

You might wanna look in this direction

@molten maple

Theres also a bunch of ways bumi can go infinite

[gloomy pagoda]

Oh no, that doesn't say first combat...

[lucid jewel]

Neither does bumi

[surreal stag]

playing less than one year. 13 decks and counting.

[lucid jewel]

You cheat because you play all on tts

[surreal stag]

oh course.

i dont own anything worth note of course.

[surreal stag]

9 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lucid jewel]

my pay got reversed so i gotta go see hr before i can get anything

[surreal stag]

OOF

[lucid jewel]

yaa im not happy at all

even if its just 625$ its still messing us up

[surreal stag]

yea idc what you do or what you make. Getting the consistancy messed up sucks

[lucid jewel]

especially if we already started spending as if we had it

time to go walk to hr tho

[lucid jewel]

@surreal stagwalked into hr and they said i got paid on the 10th and the 15th by accident and the reversal was correct when i hadnt noticed i got paid on the 10th but only noticed on the 15th and started spending

so no pre release for me tonight

[surreal stag]

opens the go fund me .com website…….”pay for Latters prererelase”

[lucid jewel]

I MEAN

i will always take charity

i am never too proud for that

[surreal stag]

that would be a tough pitch to explain to my wife haha

[lucid jewel]

Hahha

"This Australia guy on discord is poor and wants to do a pre release"

Very much a hard sell of couse

Wasn't propper asking more just putting it out there for all reading i will always take charity

[surreal stag]

oh for sure i got that lol

just riffin with the dudes

[surreal stag]

https://moxfield.com/decks/cC4m1AkBtUq-dUmEOVMDQw

had an idea for a Abzan BPISS deck. Ended up just making it a fun project and making a Rule Zero deck

[lucid jewel]

Okay mabey its great having a step kid with a lawyer bio dad

Step kid wanted to go badly enough and I dont want him going alone that the bio dad gave us 100 for pre release stuff for the two of us

[leaden tide]

Yessss signed up for a prerelease here at JordanCon. Let's goooooo

Hoping I can snag a Silverquill pack.

[lucid jewel]

Me too

[lucid jewel]

If my lgs does it simular to the atla pre release I should have my choice and they just yeet them at us as they are handing them out

[leaden tide]

They have a limited number of packs tonight so we'll see what I get.

Also the price was much cheaper here than back home lol.

[lucid jewel]

my lgs does 35 for universes with in and 45 for universes beyojnd

[surreal stag]

Got to play (1/3) of a paper commander game. The pod left to get lunch, but one of them said “I’ve got a hearthhull deck if you wanna play” hell yea brother

[turbid falcon]

Fun

I feel the craving to build a deck I'm not going to spend, well, too much money on
The plan is to tear apart the new simic precon and turn it into a Magus Lucea Kane deck with pieces I have at home

[lucid jewel]

We in

Im 50/50 on silver quill box vs witherbloom boxes

[leaden tide]

Some pulls tonight.

Oh and this:

[sleek valley]

I was initially disappointed at getting assigned Lorehold, but ended up going 3-0. There's a lot more play to the graveyard emptying payoffs than I thought there would be.

[surreal stag]

Traded in a Special Guest Painters Servent and a basic Hexing squelcher. Paid $3 for a collector booster. Pulled silver scroll JPN dismember

My prerelease kit was total ass. Still won 2 rounds

[lucid jewel]

Just finished round 4 and am currently at 0-2, 2-1, 2-0, 0-2

Still probs another couple rounds

[lucid jewel]

Ended up going 4 wins and 3 losses accros our 7 rounds

[surreal stag]

Nice dude! Glad you could make it to an event

My deck and the only things of note in these colors left in my pool

[leaden tide]

Had a pretty meh experience despite the cool pulls, unfortunately.

I played one round, then some folks dropped out the second round so I was just standing around for an hour, and then played a third round. Both rounds I played were slow and grindy and the way the folks running the pre-release did overtime, is whoever at the end of the allotted time had more life got the win.

The first round was very slow, I lost the first game and then went to overtime in the second game. Time got called during my combat phase, and I would have had the higher life total if the round had lasted 10 seconds more for combat damage. So instead of going 1-1 that round I went 0-2.

The third round (the second round I played) went a bit faster, but we were on the third game when time was called. And it was once again during my combat phase, and I once again was about to go ahead in terms of life total. So I lost that round 1-2.

So the only round I won last night was because someone dropped out and I was just standing around for an hour.

[wanton hazel]

sad, I had some fun games but I got 0 relevant mythics or rare for my assigned prerelease kit, so I had some deckbuilding hell to go through

it was like building a deck out of 5 packs rather than 6, made it work but it was tight

[surreal stag]

Big same

I had one game where I just curved out with the perfect cards hp was 27-3 when they scooped

[leaden tide]

From another server: Current price of the silver scroll Flutterstorm.

[lucid jewel]

This is the silver force of will

[surreal stag]

I only pulled a $65 card 🙁

This is satire

[leaden tide]

Sure sure that's more expensive.

However

Funni number

[turbid falcon]

I didn't pull anything too spicy, but I am 1-0 with prismari rn

My early game is terrible but my big spells absolutely dominate the late game

[leaden tide]

Oh nice, prismari working as intended.

[turbid falcon]

Shout out to the lorehold sloth for being the bane of my existence

Trample lifelink 4/4 that constantly triggers everything, or removes anything I want in my graveyard from it

Ended up going 1-2

Ended up pulling a green emeritus from my prize pack so thats nice

[charred ruin]

https://tenor.com/view/sloth-crawling-slow-gif-9915689

[turbid falcon]

Yeah but instead the sloth is absolute kicking my butt

[leaden tide]

So they had some extra packs at JordanCon and uh. Well the gambling paid off.

I bought 4 packs for $21, and this is currently a $28 card that almost certainly increase in value over time.

[leaden tide]

Oooh that's a cool one. Pretty versatile.

[turbid falcon]

The best part about building an x spell deck is that you can basically just forget about silly things like mana curves and just include a bunch of ramp and x spells

Who cares about curving out when you just naturally curve out

[turbid falcon]

Imagine my delight when a dedicated scryfall search found a fourth polymorph type effect that I was previously unaware

https://archidekt.com/decks/3956534
For reference
When deckbuilding I had the brilliant idea to run a very small package of very powerful izzet creatures (I just updated said package) and use polymorph type effects to cheat them out

The one I was unaware of was divergent transformations which is even better because then I can grab two

We'll see how good Zaffai ends up being, it seems like it has a high ceiling but low floor type card

[leaden tide]

Huh yeah, that seems like a fun plan.

[turbid falcon]

It really is

Its also generated a reputation for being a terrifying deck

If I can untap with a full board of tokens and magnus, its GGs

[surreal stag]

2-0 on bracket 2 commander games today while the boys took a nap

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1270387002147340408/1278912612846801038/image0.gif

[surreal stag]

i then went 1-1 in br3 commander last night

killin the game

[surreal stag]

omg and that win came with a new record for me. Playing Arthur Merigold Knight. slow start as per usual. Arthur sticks and i get Eyown to hand after the combat. next turn play combat celebrant and Arthur still live thanks to bigger threats eleswhere. i pass. the next person kills the other two people.

i swing and exert combat celebrant. First Arthur trigger. Moonshaker calvary. next combat......Gisela Blade of the Goldknight.....i drop 145 damage in one turn beucuase i ewotn his commnader and theres nothing he can do against my lego creatures.

[surreal stag]

did two SOS drafts already, 3-2 1-2 (pick 2) had a blast

[lucid jewel]

https://i.imgur.com/62C8QrC.png the animation for prepared cards spells that you can cast copies of is so good

https://i.imgur.com/3w8f9F3.png

the cards themselves also have this book under them when they are prepared

[leaden tide]

Huh. That's neat.

I'm personally not a fan of Arena's aesthetic, but all the details and animations and stuff are certainly quite cool.

[lucid jewel]

yeah i really enjoy how they are separating the copy and making it very obvious who is and isnt prepared with a relativly confusing mechanic its good to have it all laid out with clear visuals

[leaden tide]

For the physical cards, they've put some of those punch-out counter sheets in the booster packs, with little markers that you can punch out to put on the prepared creature.

[lucid jewel]

i got those when i went to the pre release they are good

[surreal stag]

got them, still used dice, i am a gremlin and will not be contained to social constructs lol

another wonderful use for the monsterous token on ttsim lol

[lucid jewel]

https://i.imgur.com/TSmJf3i.png

yeah i think i might be making a mill deck in standard this stuff pops off

its so easy to make this happen

[dense orchid]

https://tenor.com/view/doja-cat-star-wars-gif-25078126

[lucid jewel]

So done a couple drafts of this set on mtga and the format feels so open and free even if i kinda have to decide on a colour pair relativly early

Seems like all 5 colours can compete

[wanton hazel]

I tried one draft just because I had a token lying around and didn't have a winning experience, but I guess it was fun anyway

[leaden tide]

I think if you want flexibility in limited, your best bet is treating it like a wedges set. Draft mainly one color pair and splash something else if that lane isn't entirely open.

[lucid jewel]

Thats where I've been going

Most of the time 1st pick 1st pack will give me some juicy dual colour rare abd then ill go down that path splashing things that are adjcent

If nessiccary

[turbid falcon]

Reality fracture leaks ||looks like we're getting reprints plus new versions
So reprint of torch of defiance plus this really interesting blue version of Chandra
And yeah it might not be real but it looks pretty legit||

||numbers, art, heck the fact that the two even seem to be a single piece of art all indicates to me this is most likely real||

[lucid jewel]

UHHH

reality fracture || MONO BLUE CHANDRA!!!!||

i hope thats a real leak

[turbid falcon]

I give it 85% chance of being real

For reference here's the video

https://youtu.be/-myqe-kNFEo?si=pfSbBWuIeEeVM2Ld

He discusses why it's probably real

[lucid jewel]

i really hope its real because that means reality fracture might actually be a banger set

theres so many implications even from just that one card

[turbid falcon]

Ikr

Reality fracture ||it implies we could be getting a full cycle of reprints of classic gate watch, and then a cycle of evil versions
Something really interesting they could do is bring back Gideon, but evil
Hear me out
Gideon sacrificed himself to save Liliana, but evil Gideon never would have done that, so we could see like, black Gideon
I wonder what color evil Jace is though||

[gloomy pagoda]

Reality Fracture ||Y'know what they should do? The OG Elder Dragons, but in their opposite colours. Also WUBRG Ugin||

[turbid falcon]

||well most of the elder dragons are dead... Except Nicol bolas who recently escaped
Color flipped Nicole bolas anyone||

[lucid jewel]

Red ?

[turbid falcon]

That would be my guess as well

Maybe a red version of Jace the mind sculptor

Well it's either that or green, enemy colors and all that

[dense orchid]

Reality fractures/Mtg story: ||We've started getting color shifted planeswalkers teased in story and cards too. This set has mono black Ral, and back in the Lorwyn Eclipsed story white Liliana was teased. So we're getting more color shifted planeswalkers. The question I have is will they be in the set or just the story? We haven't gotten me than 2 planeswalkers per set for quite a while||

[leaden tide]

Reality Fracture leaks/story ||Nah I'm betting on colorless Jace. At the end of Dragonstorm, he came undone and then recoallesced in the Meditation Realm, in the exact same manner that turned Ugin into a colorless spirit-dragon.||

[leaden tide]

The other tease/leak in question:

[lucid jewel]

Oooo that sounds fun

Do we think this set will have a large number of planeswalkers

[turbid falcon]

I think we will

Probably not as many as War of the spark, but definitely more than anything besides that

[rare sparrow]

I think it will probably be as many as were in all will be one

10 planeswalkers

||Two different color versions of 5 characters||

Also despite wanting to scale back planeswalker counts on a per set basis i think they still have quite a bit of leeway because half the sets each year are going to have zero for the foreseeable future

[turbid falcon]

Exactly

[leaden tide]

Also something interesting regarding the Reality Fracture walkers: ||It's been strongly implied (confirmed?) that Liliana was desparked in the MoM aftermath. So not every character will necessarily be a pair of walkers. One or both versions of Liliana will be creatures.||

[dense orchid]

Fracture walkers: ||OK this I can get behind. 10 walkers? Highly doubt||

[lucid jewel]

Mabey 6 so instead of 5 pairs its 3 pairs

[dense orchid]

Could be as many as 7

[dense orchid]

Fracture speculation: ||If we only get walkers we've seen since MoM with their spark, our options are
Ashiok (a la Jace pretending to be Ashiok), Quintorius, Kaya, Oko, Jace, Ral, Kaito, Chandra, Ugin, Elspeth, Tezzeret, Ajani, Professor Fel
And if we include any that lost their spark we include
Huatli, Narset, Niko, Nissa, Rakdos. Rowan, Saheeli, Sarkhan, Teysa (although she's dead...), Tyvar, Will, and the Wandering Emperor||

I may have missed a couple

[turbid falcon]

I'm going all in speculating on OG gatewatch

[leaden tide]

Teysa was also never a planeswalker

[surreal stag]

would yall bother with ramp in a Blech deck?

idk just play 38 lands and cruise through the curve?

[turbid falcon]

I'd run creature based ramp

[surreal stag]

yea fair enough

maybe i get cheecky and and run maskwood nexus lol

[turbid falcon]

Stuff like Evendo and the enchantment

[surreal stag]

oh i see

yea i like that

[leaden tide]

Hmm some Marvel uncommons were opened in a Strixhaven draft.

I'm not gonna post them here as I still don't like Marvel existing on principle. But the designs at least look a little more inspired than what they showed off last year.

I look forward to proxying the digital versions.

[leaden tide]

Well crap.

[rare sparrow]

Wow insane pack

[acoustic wedge]

Noice

[leaden tide]

Aye, either one of those would be a good pull on its own, getting both at once is nuts

[lucid jewel]

NOOT!!!

Thats probs the best pack I've seen so far for that set outside of collectors boosters

[leaden tide]

Yeah Target really came through for me today.

I'm probably gonna sell the Ad Nauseum because I have no decks I'd use it for, buy a Crackle With Power instead

[turbid falcon]

Crackle with power my beloved

Best burn spell

[dense orchid]

I...
But bolt is right there!

[leaden tide]

Yeah I think I have to give this one to Bolt.

The Japanese art on Crackle with Power is fantastic though.

[spare harbor]

Ok after looking into this this is almost certainly fake

Reality fracture possible leak spoiler ||the collector number 212 on a mono blue card seems very unlikely considering the largest set since collector numbers have been printed on cards is wilds of eldraine* at 381 cards, and the highest collector number in a mono blue card is 77 (on water wings). If this spoiler was real, that would point to a set with over 1000 cards in it (or a little less, if there are a lot of colorless cards). For context the largest set ever is fifth edition with 449 cards.||

Wait I take some of that back

||eldraine’s numbers are bumped up with a bunch of extra cards, but onslaught is at 350 cards, with highest monoblue collector number at 122, this would still put the set in the 5-600 range (if every blue card in the set was lower alphabetically than “Chandra…”, so in actuality much larger; looking at onslaught, the last C is 78, which puts us back in the 900+ range), which is unlikely||

||of course there is a gimmick that could explain it, which would be very noticeable in a pack: if all commons and uncommons were colorless, that could make this collector number work||

[spare harbor]

||that’s not something they didn’t know they could do printing/logistics-wise, probably ||

Thank you for coming to my ted talk

[rare sparrow]

||Much simpler explanation: cards that “reality fractured” come after all the “normal” cards in the numbering||

[leaden tide]

Reality Fracture speculation ||They did do something similar with the colorshifted and futureshifted cards in the Time Spiral block, though that was on a by-color basis.||

||Reality Fracture has long been rumored to be Time Spiral 2||

[spare harbor]

||the same spoiler was posted in a different server along side torch of defiance as 244, which like, yeah that one could be wrong, but I find it much more likely that they’re both wrong||

[gloomy pagoda]

||y'know, that'd be a fun way to track down leaks. Distribute card images that are correct except for the set list number, which varies from file to file. That way you still get the hype-cycle benefit of leaks, while cracking down on leakers before they leak something you want to stay secret||

[spare harbor]

||they also have the same artist listed and their arts form a diptych, which makes me highly skeptical that one is fake ant the other real||

[lucid jewel]

they did something recently simular with age of sigmar leaks

[acoustic wedge]

Heheheh I like this card

[spare harbor]

||but 212 on a blue card and 244 on a red card make no sense next to each other||

[leaden tide]

What if I told you that Chandra is a girlkisser?

WE STAY WINNING WITH THIS ONE

this ones kinda sad tbh

[acoustic wedge]

Would

[lucid jewel]

imagine tho seeing your wife all corrupted by something like that

would be quite traumatic especially if shes like "join us"

[acoustic wedge]

You drastically underestimate just how Down Bad™️ I am for my wife girlfriend

[lucid jewel]

https://i.imgur.com/EHsBvyM.png whats cool is ingame the full art new lands dont show up the kinda annoying caster at the bottom of the card when they are on the battlefeild

makes the cards heaps better imo

[lucid jewel]

https://i.imgur.com/xjY648n.png so it turns out that hop to it and a few reparte cards with practiced offense is kinda busted

1st 7 win draft in ages

[leaden tide]

Damn, congratulations!

[lucid jewel]

ty ty

was a pretty smooth run, reparte is really powerful

[leaden tide]

Not planning on putting a proxy order in for a bit. So.

[dense orchid]

One of my friends had to put down his cat recently due to medical reasons recently, and I'm thinking of getting some tokens of the cat for him. Does anyone have recommendations for proxy making sites? Also willing to commission for him

[lucid jewel]

@leaden tide has some great suggestions for proxy sites

[leaden tide]

Well I only have one suggestion that I've personally used. And it's only practical for large batches of proxies, which I don't think is what this situation calls for.

[dense orchid]

Yeah, I'm thinking 10 or so

[surreal stag]

7-1 draft!!!!!!

Lost my first game to mana flood then went 7-0

[plush bear]

I just print them out on regular paper, works perfectly. Throw them in a sleeve with a bulk card for stiffening

[leaden tide]

I've tried that before, I really don't like how bulky those come out.

This is perfect as it's normal Magic card stock that's designed to be written on, so it's much cleaner than sharpying a bulk common.

[plush bear]

https://unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/letter

Wizards of the Coast has unionized

[gloomy pagoda]

(Arena employees specifically, by the looks of it)

[lucid jewel]

Thats so good

I love that

[leaden tide]

Alrighty folks, I did the thing

[lucid jewel]

Yaaaaess

I checked the prices and thats 100% so worth

Defacing a 23 cent card to proxy a 13 dollar card

Exactly what that kinda proxy is for

[leaden tide]

Yep. I had an extra copy so I decided, why not? My mono-red Zuko wants a Seething Song as it is.

[surreal stag]

https://moxfield.com/decks/c2DixXfU9UKAqW020D2THQ

Finally finished my idea. Dinos + something you wouldn’t expect

[lucid jewel]

that is such a cool theme i like it a lot and you dont see it much even if the colours overlap really nicely

and the like vibes too

both like big mana

well overlap is a strong word

[surreal stag]

I’m happy with it for now. Not great I can’t run any 4> power but it’s big flappy stompy deck

lol yea. Theres all the white angels and the red/green Dino’s haha

But yea both have big bombs I can play with that mander. Other commanders weren’t really doing it for me

[lucid jewel]

yaa in this deck you really want "play big thing for free"

[surreal stag]

Betor Kin to All landfall/token/maskwood nexus deck. Headliners are Blech and Zoraline

https://tenor.com/view/meme-cooking-time-to-cook-cook-meme-benjammins-gif-18349720951933075071

[leaden tide]

Hmm Landfall? That's a fascinating way to build him, I'm curious to see what the end result looks like.

[surreal stag]

well....i wanted cool Abzan commnader. Necrobloom right there but thats basic.

well there is always Thalia and Gitrog.

i do love that frog

im actually pretty open to the commander for this one.

[leaden tide]

Meanwhile, I've finally gotten around to making some (hopefully close to final) tweaks to my Jeskai prowess deck. It's fun to see a physical curve like this.

Nice and low and aggressive.

I might need a bit more interaction, we'll see. But I cut out the last remnants of when I almost made this a tokens deck (Monastery Mentor and Sokka, Tenacious Tactician) in favor of more focused value: Stirring Hopesinger and Khmer's Spellspear.

(also here's a digital version if anyone wants a better look)
https://archidekt.com/decks/17524318/everybody_was_kung_fu_fighting

This was the second deck I ever tried building but I didn't have a clear focus or idea of what I wanted, besides the nebulous "prowess go brrrrrrrrr." Now I've got a clear plan in mind: I have a few creatures which already have prowess (or something similar), plus usually some other benefit like double-strike. The idea is that, with Narset on the board giving them another instance of prowess, each spell I sling gives a +4 combat damage swing or more.

There's even other sources of prowess buffs, like Jeskai Ascendency and the new Stirring Hopesinger.

So the game plan is get the commander and one or two other relatively innocuous creatures down (though Riptide Gearhulk is not innocuous), and then suddenly BAM I'm swinging at you with a 7+ power unblockable double-striker.

[leaden tide]

*squints*
You got any more of them pixels?

Hmm, Bilbo seems like he'd need a lot of specific life-gain support to function regularly.

If you want to focus on lands, imo, go Thalia and Gitrog (and throw the other Gitrogs in the 99). If you want to focus on tokens shenanigans, go with Felothar.

[turbid falcon]

Got my decks in the mail

Quandrix, which I immediately tearing apart
And silverquil, which I mostly impulse bought due to the land tax reprint
But now that I'm flipping through the deck I'm honestly even more impressed

What a neat deck, I think I'll make some upgrades and run it instead of tearing it apart. Plus, I've never really built a political deck before (I generally prefer decks that skip most of the BS and go straight to my opponents being dead lmao)

[turbid falcon]

Huh I had no idea there was a black high tide
I wonder if this is playable in pauper

[leaden tide]

Yeah Silverquill seems really interesting to me. I've considered going for that one but I've spent too much money on Magic recently. Perhaps if I get some good pulls/sales from my Mystery Booster box...

[leaden tide]

Huh. That's neat.

[lucid jewel]

Silverquil precon will be a present to my self in one of my 1st paychecks once I graduate

[leaden tide]

I'm kinda hoping that, about a year from now, Costco gets some Strixhaven commander packs.

Because currently they have the Tarkir ones online.

[surreal stag]

Out of the box it’s great but yes sell two cards and get your money back. Ignore most the lands it’s like 32 cards for free

[surreal stag]

Went 5-3 twice in drafts today. Prismari keeps being wide open for me

[acoustic wedge]

I'm gonna try and snag Prismari when I go down to visit my gf next week, plan on getting them Witherbloom as an early graduation gift

[leaden tide]

Okay, first draft of my attempted Silverquill deck done. https://archidekt.com/decks/21852976/the_dragon_go_nom_nom

[past lava]

youd be evil with prismari no

[acoustic wedge]

I meant the precon!

Not the dragon card lol

[past lava]

ohhhh

:3

[acoustic wedge]

Silly. But yes, the names of the precons are all taken from the dragons, and I believe lore wise the schools of strixhaven?

[past lava]

mhm mhm im just silly

havent really paid attention to strixhaven beyond having a vague idea that the dragons exist, and that one time i played the silverquill precon and accidentally did secret commander eriette

[acoustic wedge]

Yes I know, I was there :3

[leaden tide]

Correct. The Elder Dragons of Arcavios (the name of the plane) founded the university of Strixhaven, and as such each of the five colleges of the school is named after them.

[acoustic wedge]

So they're a bunch of NERDS got it

[past lava]

:3

[leaden tide]

takes one to know one

[acoustic wedge]

Aye, fair enough

[surreal stag]

anyone here draft Tarkir Dragonstorm a good bit? i did the bot quick draft and i think i can sneak out 2-4 wins but im not sure

https://moxfield.com/decks/6DSidv1KY0axihDxyB1MsQ

this is what ive built, remaining pool in considering

[lucid jewel]

thats such an interesting way to run aristocrat

[leaden tide]

Yeah it's a spellslinger aristocrats basically. I suspect I might have slightly too many token generators, but we'll see how it performs in rough draft form.

I'm curious if anyone has any other recommendations for big, dumb spells I can copy like Choice of Damnations.

[leaden tide]

Sadly I didn't play much Dragonstorm limited.

That seems like a reasonable list to me though. Nice catch with the CSC

[surreal stag]

pack 1 pick 1 baby

i read half the archtype lists, saw the sward and said, welp im Jeskai aggro now

[lucid jewel]

hmmmmmmm

https://cards.scryfall.io/large/front/c/0/c04d8edb-7350-4ab5-b721-390784c66329.jpg?1608909911 copying this might be funny

[leaden tide]

This is the way

[leaden tide]

Oh this is fantastically silly

[lucid jewel]

okay i found a coupl e

https://cards.scryfall.io/large/front/a/a/aac00055-640e-4749-8d23-d242e6d0b23a.jpg?1594736330 this one is also funny

[leaden tide]

Copying this might not win me the game. But holy crap it'd be funny as hell

[lucid jewel]

yaa i think i found a few fun cards

[leaden tide]

Thanks. I'll put these on the sideboard for when I test this deck and see how it does

[lucid jewel]

❤️

the only other one i found is more tokens

https://cards.scryfall.io/large/front/b/f/bf818314-1eb4-48da-8e6f-ff7b89873b63.jpg?1673484100

one last card is this https://cards.scryfall.io/large/front/b/8/b8d8e608-6de4-4b90-aeb7-d060d1f44844.jpg?1726284891

[leaden tide]

Yeah we'll see if I want to go a more tokens-route with this. I kinda want to avoid just making it a token-generator pile too much, as I have another token deck and doubling up on archetypes isn't the most appealing to me.

[lucid jewel]

yaa i like the funny cards rather than just the "lets go wide and make a billion tokens"

like curel entertainment is just a vibe

[leaden tide]

Yeah, like Choice of Damnations is exactly the kind of card I want for this deck, it's fun and splashy and would be very silly to copy.

[lucid jewel]

okay mabey some death and taxes

https://cards.scryfall.io/large/front/0/5/051830bb-1baa-4c11-9177-efcd908fbcaf.jpg?1576381808

dam you really got a good vibe with this deck tho

im thonking lots of making my own version mabey

https://cards.scryfall.io/large/front/6/d/6d16da68-85f6-4d54-9751-9cf046f5e99a.jpg?1562494206

stupid silly black cards gotta be so fun

[leaden tide]

Yeah the new Elder Dragon cycle is so cool. Each has such fun build-around ideas that push you in a specific direction without being too narrow "do the thing" commanders.

I was so stoked to pull Silverquill from my pre-release pack, he's just the best.

[turbid falcon]

Well this is the list I'm going with for now. Testing political decks is always more difficult but at least this one seems very capable of shifting to a more aggressive strategy

https://archidekt.com/decks/22103111/killian_aura_farming

There are also a few lands I'd like to switch out but I'm too lazy to go and find the requisite lands to replace them with

[surreal stag]

game froze, closed and reopened, outdated client. just lost my second game of dragonstoerm draft cuz of internet and WOTC

[leaden tide]

The new Killian looks hella fun. I'd consider building him/upgrading his precon if I wasn't already working on my other Orzhov deck

[turbid falcon]

Shout out to Don't Move being disninctly overpowered in this deck
I always knew I'd be able to find a good home for it somewhere but it's kinda crazy here

[leaden tide]

"Oh, all your creatures are goaded and have to tap this turn? Shame, shame...."

[turbid falcon]

Not to mention the additional flash enchantments I added that mean those just become 2 for 1s most of the time

"oh no my dog umbra has now destroyed one creature and pacifier another, how sad"

[lucid jewel]

oh dam

that card is really cool here

wait it only exists as a jurassic secret lair ?

[leaden tide]

iirc they were a rare bonus sheet found in Lost Caverns of Ixalan packs

[lucid jewel]

ohhh

[turbid falcon]

I pulled one after purchasing one so I have 2 lol

[lucid jewel]

https://i.imgur.com/n6t4q5m.png this card is totally going in my bnuuy deck

i very much want to give more cards to ppl and it fits really nice into "lets cast more spells"

it was almost purpose built to go into decks like bumble flower

i also found out the other day that this is the spanish version of the card and i NEED it https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/3/a/3a5ea7f3-f6c9-48b8-8030-51ef602767b3.jpg?1730178292

sinorita margarita is just a brilliant name

[mild plover]

Señora isn't it

[lucid jewel]

Either way Señora Margarita is great

[mild plover]

Yeah it's fantastic

[dense orchid]

I hadn't considered casting Rendezvous multiple times 👀 👀 👀

Señora Margarita is getting an upgrade

[lucid jewel]

"At the begenning of each end step"

I just idk what to take out. My deck is almost identical to the 10 in 10 out that commandzone put out

[dense orchid]

Along with the blue Emeritus

[lucid jewel]

True

Also mathemagics cause its funny

[dense orchid]

Probably Tamiyo. 4 mana to draw 1 card and protection for not even 1 turn cycle? Not a big fan

Oh I'm planning on adding Mathmagics to my standard mill deck for an alt wincon

[lucid jewel]

Gonna pick up harmonized trio as well

[leaden tide]

Oh the fish abs card

[lucid jewel]

4$ for the two of them from my flgs

[turbid falcon]

I need to pick up some singles, I need to make a list lol

[leaden tide]

There's some really fun stuff this set.

[turbid falcon]

Yeah which is why I have stuff to pick up

At minimum I need a Flashback and Prismari and Witherbloom
I'll probably need a few others

[leaden tide]

Lorwyn Eclipsed wasn't a bad set by any means, but by being a typal set its limited was kinda on-the-rails, and didn't have a ton of singles for non typal sets.

SoS though, it has so much good stuff even if you're not into spell-slinging.

[turbid falcon]

I more or less got everything I needed from lorwyn by cracking a box anyway, but I'm not doing that with this set

[leaden tide]

I still need a Flashback and Erode, yeah.

Fingers crossed they put Erode in a bunch of precons going forward.

[turbid falcon]

I wouldn't hold my breath on it showing up for at least a year

[leaden tide]

The one full box I'm allowing myself to get this year is Mystery Booster. Should have some really interesting stuff even if it's not super high money value.

[turbid falcon]

Mystery booster 2 is truly a gift that keeps giving

So much random stuff in there that I keep finding uses for, even without anything I would call big hits off my box

(cries in corner regarding the jewled lotus I pulled from the same thing, right after it got banned)

[lucid jewel]

I might if i have the cash grab a collectors booster box of startrek

[turbid falcon]

(full art too)

[leaden tide]

Well Steel, here's the plan

Wait until Wizards announces the next Commander BnR update

And then, before the update, put the card up for sale and make a killing off of the spiking prices.

Because it will spike like nuts even if they don't unban it

[turbid falcon]

True

I could sell it on Facebook or something

Oh right I need the lute

Maybe like, 3 of them

[leaden tide]

Ooh yeah, the lute is fun.

Also the lorehold artifact is cool, even though I don't have a deck for it currently

[turbid falcon]

I do tend to build izzet spellslinger and it's an insta add to every izzet spellslinger deck I have

[leaden tide]

I mean look at this. It's so stupid. Each of these three peaks is a BnR announcement where it wasn't unbanned

https://tenor.com/view/fell-fell-for-it-fell-for-it-again-fell-for-it-again-award-award-gif-15411198764799214626

[lucid jewel]

So if this is bascily my deck what am I taking out for the two cards I grabbed today

https://archidekt.com/decks/8529843/cz_621_peace_offering_precon_upgrade

Mabey Tammy and one other

[leaden tide]

Swap Jolly Gerbils for the lesbians

[lucid jewel]

True

Good idea

[leaden tide]

You don't have enough gift spells to get consistent usage out of them

[lucid jewel]

Totally

[leaden tide]

Same MV too, so doesn't even change your curve

[lucid jewel]

Then swapping tamiyo out for harmonized trio is good as well because it continues to drop the curve lower

While grabbing more draw and more instants

[leaden tide]

Yep. Easier to get good value out of that.

[lucid jewel]

Any other cards come out recently I should investigate

[leaden tide]

Hmm. Will need to think on that one. I uh, I don't pay much attention to group hug shenanigans.

[turbid falcon]

Take a look at the silverquil deck

There are some nice group hug stuff in there in white

[lucid jewel]

Im 100% grabbing and upgrading that deck

Im not gonna take it apart

[leaden tide]

Huh. I'm probably a bit weird like this, but having multiple decks that do similar things just doesn't make my neurons go brrrrrr. I'm slightly jealous.

[lucid jewel]

Yaa and I've not been having that much fun in actually playing the eldrazi deck so I might just fall back on bnuuys and then grab that silverquill decl

i think i will stick to my lane and not become the enemy

[turbid falcon]

Ah but you see they're different

My 2 izzet decks are Magnus the Red and Niv Mizzet parun
Magnus the red is a big spells assisted by lots of instants and sorceries that make creature tokens, with that izzet creature package I've discussed here before

Niv Mizzet parun is what I describe as "draw burn", draw lots of cards, deal lots of direct damage

Both spellslinger but they play out pretty differently

[leaden tide]

Yeah fair.

[turbid falcon]

Though like many of my decks they both have the trait of liking winning out of almost nowhere

I like building decks that have escalating scale
I'll start off the turn with some mana generation and a few creature tokens, and by the end of the turn I have a massive board of like 23 tokens and a lethal Crackle with a power on the stack that I cast for 1 red

Or however many red it is, I don't remember

[leaden tide]

I don't know how I'd describe my deckbuilding tbh. Besides maybe "amateurish". Though I've improved so much over the past year.

[turbid falcon]

Yeah I have a reputation for explosiveness

To the point where my playgroup (which will finally start meeting again this week huzzah) actively fears me untapping even when I'm well aware there is no way for me to win

Well
Granted there has been some times when I was convinced I wasn't gonna win at the beginning of the turn and then the game was over by the end so it's not like the reputation isn't deserved

I purposely have to build not to do that, but I find the only way to do that is to build on budget or precon upgrades

If I build from scratch it just, always ends up like that

[leaden tide]

Alright, target you even if you have an empty board. Got it.

[turbid falcon]

Unless I'm playing a precon upgrade
Unless thats the elemental deck anyway
The Witherbloom deck I built with your assistance semi consistently wins on turn 4 at earliest so nothing has changed there

Or the dinosaur deck
Or... Okay yeah no there's a reason they always target me

[leaden tide]

In your defense, I think that's just how the new Witherbloom Just Is.

Like, you have to be actively sandbagging to make her not just snowball off the mountain.

I was gonna say maybe a B1 only Strixhaven cards build might slow her down, but I'm not sure even that would.

[turbid falcon]

Glamdring we really need to play together on spell table some time
Get some other victims volunteers from in here and put together a pod

[leaden tide]

Yeah we should.

[acoustic wedge]

I concur we should put together a game online mhm.

[surreal stag]

I got you

[surreal stag]

YYYAAAASSSSP

TT sim my goat

[acoustic wedge]

Fr fr

[surreal stag]

Oh we playin like dat. I was gunna bring haha funny decks

https://tenor.com/view/piccolo-stretching-dragon-ball-z-gif-15293163

[surreal stag]

I mean there’s a 50/50 shot if you ping me I’m down to play that same night p

[lucid jewel]

Uhhhh

[surreal stag]

https://tenor.com/view/pizza-invader-zim-i-made-it-myself-gif-5102420

[lucid jewel]

Lol

[surreal stag]

For my 100 proxy Dino deck

[lucid jewel]

I honestly have never figgured out spell table

[lucid jewel]

I dont know how to setup the camera good

[leaden tide]

I like the Alan Grant flavor text

[lucid jewel]

im totally down for spelltable with yall at some point if i can figgure out the camera situation

[surreal stag]

I will share my screen of the moxfield play tester haha

[leaden tide]

There's no singular best day for me, basically not Friday evenings and sometimes Wednesday evenings.

[lucid jewel]

thats an interesting idea

[surreal stag]

Shout out Maldhound for that one

[surreal stag]

Some I changed others I didn’t. Making 100 is a grind

[lucid jewel]

okay found my new fav standard deck https://mtga.untapped.gg/constructed/standard/decks/5394/abzan-bats/AAQAAQSIBQWPsUCbsgMByOtDAt_CMe0DDL55_nECs5MrngL0VNnpA5mXBJOBA6rSCN5Es_sBAAA

combines so many things i enjoy in standard

life is a resource that i will use to kill fools

[surreal stag]

im litterally 9 rare WCs away from building this (with a less effecnt mana base)

[lucid jewel]

The mana base is actually really cool with this deck

Because im gaining so much life I can spend the 2 almost every time with out fail

It will probs be rock paper scissord out of the meta in a couple days but im having fun today with new cards

[turbid falcon]

I was janking it up for a while, just stacked a few cardboard boxes on top of each other, or put it on top of a drawer and set up on the floor

I did finally purchase an actual phone stand that I have calibrated to the right height, just in time for my group to basically go on a hiatus lmao

Anyway let's try for sometime during Saturday then

[leaden tide]

What platform are we gonna try? Spelltable?

[lucid jewel]

I believe so yes

[surreal stag]

Welp All Dinosaurs went to Heaven. I swung 382 damage on one guy in the 1v1

[leaden tide]

https://tenor.com/view/damage-thats-a-lot-of-damage-jon-tron-gif-13054497

[surreal stag]

Yea kind of a god hand/game. Akroma Angle of Wrath off the first mander trigger. Mosswort Bridge pulled Serra’s Emissary, when I’m playing a izzit precon and a cloud voltron deck I now had inviting blocker for one and protection from the other by naming humans.

Then Quartzwood Crasher + Elspeth just snowballed like crazy

[turbid falcon]

It's my preferred way yeah

I just like playing with physical cards (no i do not mind them being proxies I just like holding them)

[turbid falcon]

Ugh there is nothing more frustrating than sleeving up a deck only to discover you're missing 2 sleeves and they're nowhere to be found

I literally have an entire bag of sleeves of which I have like 95 of which notably isn't enough to sleeve up a commander deck 😭

[spare harbor]

Ping me when y’all do this. if you need another person I might be free

Idk when I’m free in general though

[turbid falcon]

I'm thinking Saturday afternoon

Not sure when that is for everyone but that's when I'll make a lobby

[surreal stag]

if both boys take a nap ill be there

[leaden tide]

I did that once with my first pack of sleeves.

It was a set of sleeves I'd gotten with a theme deck or something a while back. I thought there'd be a hundred, but I forgot the deck was in fact only 85 cards (60 card deck +15 sideboard +20 tokens)

[turbid falcon]

For heavens sake

Decided to go and buy a Witherbloom and a few other things
And I swear to you the Witherbloom I selected got yoinked out from under me 3 separate times before I could check out

Screw me for trying to take advantage of the Witherbloom to pick up other singles on the cheap without worrying about additional shipping

[acoustic wedge]

Damn lol

This is why we proxy

[surreal stag]

https://moxfield.com/decks/5a0Te5QgnEuu2WxMnywcKg

revisted now that i feel a bit better about my deck building skills.

[surreal stag]

what store was this? thats madness

[turbid falcon]

It was on tcgplayer from multiple stores

Clearly people are buying it
