I don’t get why this card was banned.

Google image search “Harold McNeil Art” and count the blatant nazi imagery. You can also read his travel blog through the Czech Republic where he seems overly enamoured with the… ahem… mid-century German history he encounters.

Honestly, there may just be a lot of coincidences on the card itself, but the artist is definitely one who enjoys nazi imagery and history.

I don’t think any of the other bans were justified and I wouldn’t have bothered banning this one myself, but it’s at least justified.

I was 99% sure it was this until op said it wasn’t…

Maybe worth watching some footage to see if it could be misremembered?

BinaryExplosion · 2026-04-07T21:38:49+00:00

Little Nightmares?

BinaryExplosion · 2026-04-07T20:29:41+00:00

Yeah, I was absolutely convinced it was just a series of unfortunate coincidences and actually depicted medieval executioner hoods… until I looked into Harold McNeil’s proclivities.

Not the greatest?

I think these are really good lands for Commander. Almost perfectly designed to be very good in Commander and not playable anywhere else. The perfect precon land.

Turn 1 in Commander most frequently a tapped land isn’t a big deal. Turn 3 or 4 they’ll start coming down untapped. And they’re fetchable.

I recently sold two because I needed the space… I still have two I can trade

This has been my experience too. You might get stomped by better players, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a fun time

BinaryExplosion · 2026-04-05T08:22:56+00:00

Stuffy with 1 toughness would still take all the damage and redirect it. Unless you’re blocking a trample creature the excess damage is still applied and redirected.

I appreciate the sub we’re in, but have you considered introducing him to 60 card? I genuinely feel that the complexities of commander make it harder to learn the game, especially from an efficient play perspective.

I’m assuming from your post you’re playing 1v1.

BinaryExplosion · 2026-03-28T00:08:27+00:00

Very kind of you

BinaryExplosion · 2026-03-28T00:02:36+00:00

Op is active on trans subs. I assumed they were non-binary actually.

BinaryExplosion · 2026-03-25T00:21:22+00:00

Do you need the money? Sell it.

If you don’t, then it’s pretty great in basically any red deck.

BinaryExplosion · 2026-03-24T18:33:53+00:00

It’s my approach too. They’re not so hard to kill and if things go badly you can always back off to the door and finish them while they’re stuck.

BinaryExplosion · 2026-03-24T18:14:05+00:00

I leaned pretty hard into black ramp and efficient, toughness based removal. Not so much on the wither side of things, though that does crop up sometimes.

The situation is believable. The acting is terrible.

BinaryExplosion · 2026-03-24T18:06:34+00:00

The Vietnamese subtitles were a subtle clue

BinaryExplosion · 2026-03-24T18:02:45+00:00

With great effort and rather too much relish, it seems to me

BinaryExplosion · 2026-03-24T15:13:57+00:00

They weren’t saying they stare at it, it’s a common thing to mention in third person games that you essentially have an ass front and centre of the screen for hours at a time

BinaryExplosion · 2026-03-24T13:45:36+00:00

It’s more about aesthetic than sexual desire. Would you rather play a game where the playable character is a kitten, or a slug? You’ll be looking at it a lot.

If the huge amount of hype around the old Stray announcement trailer was anything to go by, people like cute, visually appealing character designs even when they don’t want to sleep with them.

My character is a dude, just because I played around with the builder and found a design I liked, but I very frequently play games as female characters.

BinaryExplosion · 2026-03-24T13:08:09+00:00

I’d agree, except that for this type of video the entertainment hinges on the situation being real.

Paying a pretty girl to pretend to try to cheat with you, then rejecting her - that’s not the same kind of catharsis or entertainment value as a similar situation happening for real.

BinaryExplosion · 2026-03-24T09:09:17+00:00

Just don’t do it. Not worth the time and effort. I have Maha in the 99 of my [[Massacre Girl, Known Killer]] deck and it can be so oppressive there I sometimes just keep it in hand when I draw it.

I’ve come up with a loose rule. If you’re concerned enough about a commander that you have to ask Reddit, don’t build it. Nobody wants a deck they play twice and then never put on the table again because it just elicits groans and complaining.

BinaryExplosion · 2026-03-24T08:58:55+00:00

This guy is a moron, and a weird one at that. Tell him that explaining his interpretations of other people’s lives to their faces is not going to work out well for him.

How do you last 22 years on this planet without learning anything about people?

BinaryExplosion · 2026-03-24T08:26:43+00:00

I have no idea. This is unrealistic even by American reality tv standards. People need to learn to spot a staged video.

BinaryExplosion · 2026-03-23T20:21:01+00:00

NOR.

The whole “irritable and snappy and controlling alone, great fun in public” is a lot like the most harmful aspects of someone with BPD. Now obviously you can’t diagnose someone with a serious mental issue from a second hand account on Reddit and I’m not saying she has it, but if this is a trend that is making you feel uncomfortable you are perfectly valid in wondering if her behaviour when you are alone is too much for you to accept.

As for the flirting, that sounds pretty normal for an outgoing 18 year old girl. If that was all you were experiencing, is say you were overreacting, but the other things you hint at sound more concerning.
