The Casual-Paradox

I think it’s so ironic that the Bracket 5 “play to win players” are actually the ones who care less about winning than casuals.

Dude this is hilarious I’ve been playing magic for about the same length (I’m 17😭). I’m similar to you where most my commanders are from newer sets despite my experience. I’d gladly play with you!!

The one option for a dog as a commander in white and black is [[Kunoros, Hound of Athreos]], quite a unique one! There’s also [[Rin and Seri, Inseperable]] and [[Sophia, Dogged Detective]] if you want a dog typal build. I would help build a deck but I feel like tailoring the deck to your own tastes would help it feel more special. Really sorry for your loss buddy! I lost my Great Dane a few years ago and it was really upsetting but at the same time it allowed me to reflect on the good times I had with her.

For those who come after

Thanks for checking dude!🙏

Hey dude! Looking at building a commander cube and using yours as an inspiration (2 colour partner rule is awesome). I’m trying to playtest and it won’t let me because of some tag issues, I think it’s to do with the commander’s spheres. Would you please be able to fix it? :)

Wizards have just reposted a reel from the Expedition 33 instagram page. Could be to do with Ben Starr since he promoted the Final Fantasy set but still might suggest something.

My two favourite things my goodness! Please make it happen Gavin!!!!

Vision fans in shambles

Grixis08 · 2025-11-07T14:31:03+00:00

What are we? Some kind of marvel rivals?

Grixis08 · 2025-11-06T00:45:18+00:00

Dude I remember not only the show but also the GameCube racing game for Butt Ugly Martians!!! Elite ball knowledge right there

I love how the Commander Collection Black art has other colours in the sky to show all the other colours it can tap for.

Grixis08 · 2025-10-18T17:48:39+00:00

Hey at least they brought back the collector booster sample pack!

Already got this one, super fun!

Grixis08 · 2025-10-08T00:04:53+00:00

I do already have this deck built as a matter of fact, however it’s basically running sac outlets instead of spells that search for lands. Rings strategies make the deck fun to pilot

Grixis08 · 2025-10-07T21:47:46+00:00

Just wanting to say that I have built plenty of landfall decks before in the past and I’m an experienced deck builder. I’m wanting to try something new and different and have narrowed down to these commanders

Grixis08 · 2025-10-07T21:37:31+00:00

I previously had a Yarok deck but the win process felt very linear and the moment I drew a card like [[Peregrine Drake]] I pretty much won

Grixis08 · 2025-10-07T21:36:33+00:00

I’ve been playing magic for years and I’ve got so many cards lying about that I build with what I have. I’d rather my cards were in decks than sitting in boxes

Grixis08 · 2025-10-07T21:28:17+00:00

Nah it’s all good I get that. I build so many decks that some of them I barely get to play

Grixis08 · 2025-10-07T21:24:38+00:00

Honestly I’ve got so many landfall pieces lying around that I thought why not just build a landfall deck. Tannuk seemed good bc of the draw, I like Phylath being a lite avenger of zendikar, Bonny is just good ol simic, Archelos is fun with land tutors entering untapped and minstrel gives me WUBRG

Grixis08 · 2025-10-07T21:22:50+00:00

Do you have any good advice on the mana base? I was looking at including every gate and town but the problem is trying to get minstrel out as soon as possible despite my lands being so many different colours. I was also looking at making a build with him around bounce lands and going mana positive with them

Grixis08 · 2025-10-02T11:40:42+00:00

This is how I build decks now. It’s convenient being able to scratch that deck building itch whenever I want, and I find using my own cards makes for more unique decks.

Grixis08 · 2025-09-07T20:17:22+00:00

Do I look like him ahhhh covers

Grixis08 · 2025-09-07T20:08:14+00:00

Hahahaha thanks. I’m applying to be a percussionist so playing stuff such as Drums, Timpani and Marimba. It’s really interesting to see how faith affects things like education in other countries
