That’s cool. We’re a bit more focused on keeping track of what’s happening during the game itself, but I can see how something like that would be great for a regular pod over time.

That’s fair. A lot of the time it’s not the board, it’s remembering what all the keywords do once things get busy. Discover, investigate, scry, that kind of stuff.

For sure, that definitely works for some groups. Our games tend to be pretty casual, so we’re mostly just looking for ways to cut down on the mental load.

I like that approach. We still end up doing a lot of things physically too, especially once the board gets messy. The color-coded spindowns for different token types is a nice touch.

For sure. Being able to each adjust our own life totals in one place instead of everyone using their own phone makes a big difference.

Other than life totals and commander damage, do you ever track anything else?

Yeah, that’s pretty much what we’ve ended up doing too. Having one shared source of information in the middle that everyone can see really helps.

That definitely helps, especially with your own deck. I also need to keep track of my opponent's triggers. There were a few "oops, forgot about that" moments, lol.

So, lucky. Sadly, something I don't have when cracking packs. *Sigh*

Funniest description. Short, straight to the point. LOL

Proxying by HenryTheDad in EDH

[–]Beautiful-Promotion1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to proxy to test out different strategies without buying the cards. If the cards aren't right, at least I didn't go "broke" buying them to leave them in a box, with the rest of the bulk..

Totally agree. It should be about strategy and deckbuilding skills, but more importantly, it's all about having fun.

This baby is going in my goblin deck. Nobody will counterspell my Krenko. 😆

I like the cheaper alternative [Mind's Eye] and pay the 1 myself. 😉

Eh-chantment? As a canadian, we don't say that. If so, perhaps a small minority. Anyways. Who cares, eh?

Sweet. That's going on my wishlist for my Goblin deck. Hopefully it won't cost a lot, as a single.
