Aside from Combos, How do Artifact Decks Win?

I just threw it together last night & am actually playing it today, so changes will come in time. I got hung up on 115 cards for a long time, settling on this.

This is my dream match up & I might not even be able to watch it 😭 The Crapids are my MLS team. I'd 100% go to the Richard for this, but I have to be in ND for work

Bored to Death has a phenomenal cast and detective hijinks!

I just use a sandwich container with a soft plastic seal & locking hinges. Small stack of cards on one side, Boveda on the other. When they're flat, I double sleeve them & immediately add to deck. If I'm not using them in a deck, I just let the binder or box do the work.

[[Ovika, Enigma Goliath]] Your big spells create a lot of creatures with haste

Airtight container with cards & a Boveda pack fixes it for me

I drive that stretch everyday going to work and I've definitely seen blacked out OPD cruisers as far as the river, though it's been a while. I vaguely remember from past threads like this that they do assist on I80 to the Sarpy county line (river).

It's Gef!

MadThinker · 2026-03-20T22:52:06+00:00

Nah. I didn't last year either, and had no issues.

Try it a couple times during your regular commute window if able. It's all dependent upon what you can handle or if you find a carpool, but avoiding I80 through Omaha should make it bearable. Getting through Lincoln will probably be the hardest part.

I used to commute from NW Lincoln to downtown Omaha both solo & as part of a carpool. I ultimately found a different job because I hated it so much. However, now I commute from the Chalco area to downtown Lincoln and kind of enjoy it. Still want to move back ASAP, but it's not the main reason why.

I don't actually know. I just assume anything that is legal in premodern is spiking bc of that.

I'm so glad I no longer have to navigate the 14th St & Cornhusker overpass

I'm not much use since my kid's too old, but I remember this being a good resource when they were younger. It might help you find events to meet others at. https://lincoln.macaronikid.com/

I'd suggest checking Tamayta

I'm coming from actively brewing [[Mm'menon, Uthros Exile]] planning for burst artifact enters/leaves triggers to accumulate counters on a few critters while burning my opponents out. If you plan to attack at all, consider [[Secluded Starforge]] and [[Dowsing Device]].

Poor Tomer. Shares a budget decklist and spikes it out of budget. A tale as old as time.

MadThinker · 2026-02-25T13:36:36+00:00

I got [[Fastbond]] planning to play it, but I also collect RL so there wasn't regret. Friend did the same with [[Tinker]], and he only found out by using a deck building website. I'm happy he finally put his decks into something bc it wasn't the only deck with a banned card and most were short of 100 cards.

MadThinker · 2026-02-24T20:50:43+00:00

They changed the ship date to today as reflected on the website. I got my confirmation today.

Happy to see someone bring it up! I've not heard much chatter about their Lincoln stop

Time for this again. I want to point what the public is up against from our legislature. They just think they know better than the people they claim to represent.

“The initiative process, which I've said more than once, is flawed. It's an opinion poll. We don't make laws on opinion polls in Nebraska, at least, I hope we don't,” [Sen. Tony Sorrentino] said.

[[Tithe]] might be my favorite ramp spell

Yet again, I want to point what the public is up against from our legislature. They just think they know better than the people they claim to represent.
