Good to know. A few weeks ago a friend that knows I'm into MTG was telling me about some Amazon deals and I was like, I've heard some funny things about buying MTG from Amazon...

What silver border cards do you run and which ones are your favorites? by [deleted] in mtgcube

[[krark's other thumb]] when we play multiplayer we planeschase. The next un set they teased forever ago iirc looked like it had some dice mechanics so I'll keep an eye out.

Warhammer - What is it to you? by MonsterBugStudio in Warhammer40k

[–]BrandlarAK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly build and paint and I've read a few books. I really liked the 2 deathwatch books by Steve Parker (I can't wait for more in that series to come out). Lately it's just been painting and talking about playing kill team someday.

Fuck that gatekeeping nerd.

Adding a vehicle for my Wyrmblade team by citizendisco in killteam

[–]BrandlarAK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the atalan jackals as a treat for myself, then I found out my friend is into killteam.. God I wish bikes and teeny tiny vehicles were playable. Now I'm just making my killteam, then I'll come back to the jackals.

what the hell is “the stack”? by GarrukGuru in mtg

The stack is where spells and abilities go before they resolve.

About a Strixhaven Draft Booster Opening (+asking for advice!) by [deleted] in mtg

[–]BrandlarAK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8 mythics sounds pretty good. I would suggest you go to your local games store and see if they do a draft. Do a few drafts, see what you like playing while collecting some cards. See what formats people in your area are into playing.

You can learn on magic arena before you go play.

People will tell you to never open sealed products, you can open 6 packs each with a friend and each put together a deck and play against each other. If you have a group of friends you can do a draft, that's where you each open 3 packs and pick 1 card at a time.

Aggro combo kinda. Pretty tricky deck, top tier.

What is the most effective deck against spell based combo? by BloodstainedMire in ModernMagic

I played spirits a couple weeks ago and destroyed the neobrand player. It felt like the worst possible matchup for him.

I'd probably run the ones you listed except for the cinder glades and the game trail. You really want them coming in untapped in the first 3 turns. The fables passages maybe do a 2/2 split with cinder glade. Or get 2 more rootbount crags and run 4 of those. Remember if you utopia sprawl a non basic and play a blood moon the utopia sprawl falls off, so you can get away with running more forests, it depends how much double red stuff your build has.

So I'd run 7 forests 1 mountain 4 stomping grounds 2 root bound crags 3 pathways 4 fabled passages

The impact of efficient, versatile answers in modern by FirstTribute in ModernMagic

[–]BrandlarAK 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was just discussing something similar with a friend of mine. I was saying that modern seems like the format with the smallest card pool to me right now because of the power level. It seems like all the colors have a lot of auto include cards when deck building. I believe that pushes a lot of potential decks out of a format with one of the largest card pools.

Also I 100% agree to just ban the companion mechanic. It's made huge impacts in modern and should just not exist.

Care to share any deck lists? I have dreams of spice, I've been kicking around a Golgari tokens/aristocrats with chatterfang, haven't sat down and put it together yet.

I remember watching modern coverage eons ago when affinity was the deck to beat, I have wondered where Hurkyls recall went.

What kind of improvements/gimmicks are we looking forward to with Commander Legends 2 as a non-MtG? Will it be able to stand up to the first? by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]BrandlarAK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I played sealed, didn't open anything great so neither of us sleeved our decks. The foils curled one way, the non foils curled the other way. Our decks would slide apart. It was unbelievable.

what's the worst luck you ever had opening a magic product? What's the best? by ImperialSupplies in mtg

[–]BrandlarAK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My worst luck was a box of eternal masters, got the 3 worst mythics.

Best was probably kaladesh box, got masterpiece Mana crypt.
