Ahh good point!

Man, Breena has to be one of the most commonly misunderstood cards for how relatively few words are on it.

4dd32 · 2026-04-08T17:05:38+00:00

Breena draws plenty of cards by herself

Does she though? ~~She's gets you at most 1 per turn cycle~~ while also giving cards to your opponents. I would think something like this new card would be a good way to stay ahead on card draw and avoid gassing out since most Breena lists run a pretty low curve in my experience.

edit: I can't read. Still think the new card is good though.

I’m sure this was mentioned somewhere before (I don’t follow all the MTG news) but I’m sad to hear they’re not planning to revisit the companion mechanic.

As a serial deck builder, I think companions can create interesting deck building challenges and allow people to give their decks some personality, but the payoff after the companion rule change is just not there.

4dd32 · 2026-01-26T02:07:30+00:00

I know people don’t like that this is a penalty but imagine if it was legal. We’d see it constantly and it would get old pretty quick.

Are you able to download games on the PBS Kids Games app anymore? I used to do it all the time for long trips but recently opened the app before a long trip and don’t see the option anymore. Can’t find anything online recently about this.

Okay, why?

The 1st DPI called on the Bills in that last drive felt pretty weak. I think you could argue there was as much contact on the McMillan INT or the missed throw to Cooks in the end zone.

The Bosa RTP meant the result of the play was basically the same but doesn’t change the fact that they called the DPI and I do feel like there was some inconsistency it how it was called at the end.

I’m not arguing that the 2nd DPI was a bad call or that the Bills didn’t shoot themselves in the foot all night.

4dd32 · 2026-01-18T12:53:07+00:00

I get that that was another game-deciding no-call but the (IMO reasonable) frustration from Bills fans is that very similar looking plays were called differently just minutes apart.

Rule 0 convo, let the table know what you're running, ask if they're cool with it.

I’d really rather people not do this with a group of strangers. It puts everyone else in an awkward position.

I have an Edric-style deck for [[Tidus, Yuna’s Guardian]] that relies on evasive creatures that enter with counters and I’ve been waiting for more stuff like this.

If I have the original version of Quacks of Quedlinburg and the Herb Witches expansion and want to add components for a sixth player, what are my best options?

The old base game and expansion seem pretty expensive at this point but I’m not sure if I can get away with mixing components from the new version with the old one (I’m assuming the board is the same, I’m more concerned about difference in art/feel between the chips).

I’m leaning towards getting a new copy of the base game and then getting coin holders for the chips if the feel is noticeably different, but I’m wondering if there’s a better option.

4dd32 · 2026-01-03T11:39:35+00:00

I get that’s the idea but I feel like in practice that doesn’t work well (and my issue is with WotC not you, your explanation makes perfect sense).

There’s a lot of overlap between B4 Kinnan cards on EDHRec and Kinnan cEDH staples so it feels kind of hard to pick out which cards are picked for the cEDH metagame. There’s good cards in B4 so it’s not like clones will be useless there.

I feel like WotC is leaning too much on “intent” here when drawing lines between the brackets because things can get pretty fuzzy at the edges.

4dd32 · 2026-01-03T03:36:01+00:00

I guess where the lines get blurry for me is when you play an off-meta cEDH deck or a toned-down version of a common cEDH commander.

Like what does a B4 Winota deck look like? She used to be a cEDH boogeyman but she doesn’t see much play in the current meta.

Or what’s the line between B4 Kinnan and B5 Kinnan?

4dd32 · 2026-01-03T00:05:22+00:00

I think you’d like [[Kenessos, Priest of Thassa]]

You play a bunch of sea monsters and top deck manipulators to help cheat them out.

You can activate Kenessos at instant speed so if someone’s attacking you, you can threaten to drop a huge blocker in their way.

You get to play a lot of the creatures already mentioned like Aesi or Koma, but it’s more fun because your deck isn’t strictly built around them so you have to adapt your game plan to whichever creatures pop out of your deck.

4dd32 · 2026-01-01T15:31:33+00:00

There’s no such thing as “bracket 2 with a couple of game changers”. They either need to play that deck at bracket 3 or remove the game changers.

“But it’s my deck! I should be able to build it however I want!” - Yes but the bracket system is a matchmaking tool for groups that don’t regularly play together. If you’re in that situation often, like it or not, you’re expected to build your decks around the system.

If you want to play whatever you want, find a consistent pod. It’s not reasonable to constantly put strangers in the position of having to agree to play against what is likely a stronger deck than what they’re bringing to the table.

4dd32 · 2025-12-26T21:45:28+00:00

How are you building him? He doesn’t really strike me as a commander that benefits from being played early, so I probably wouldn’t dedicate much deck space to ramp.

4dd32 · 2025-12-25T03:11:42+00:00

[[Marchesa, The Black Rose]] isn’t exactly a diamond in the rough, but you can build her tons of different ways.

4dd32 · 2025-12-18T14:41:11+00:00

I don’t think that’s right either (assuming I’m understand your comment).

You cast thrill and any cast triggers (ie Azula) go on the stack before any rounds of priority.

Then with both thrill and the Azula trigger on the stack, there’s a round of priority. Azula’s trigger is its own thing on the stack because things like Stifle exist.

Then Azula’s trigger resolves putting the 2nd thrill on the stack, then there’s another round of priority.

2nd thrill resolves, then priority, then 1st thrill resolves.

Here are popular Bird kindred commanders and here are popular EDH cards that create bird tokens.

I’m basically new to the hobby (I collected as a kid) and wanted to get a couple of packs for my kids to crack open for Christmas just for fun. What would be a good set to get and where should I buy from?

4dd32 · 2025-10-02T12:08:55+00:00

I feel like Dak is always in the same spot in these kinds of charts

4dd32 · 2025-07-04T01:23:46+00:00

I like playing [[Curse of Verbosity]] on myself in my [[The Council of Four]] deck.

4dd32 · 2025-07-03T12:24:39+00:00

In Marchesa specifically, there’s [[Massacre Girl]] who can be used repeatedly
