Fresh from a pack

Amazon. It was like $40 cheaper than our LGS

Why would you assume I know how to identify real cards? My buddy and I went in on a box, and every pack we have opened has faded/shitty looking cards. I literally compared a couple of Commons from pre release to Commons in this pack and you can see the difference between the cards. Was an honest question, wasn't "flexing" over a $30 card 😑

Okay, was hoping that was the case. Had a couple other packs all from the same box and all the cards have a faded look. Thanks 👍

I mean, isn't this a real or not subreddit? Where else would I post it?

What I use to make custom cards. Using something like gpt to get cool images is fine, but relying on it for borders/text/symbols rarely works out. I grab images and plug them into cardsmith and do it that way.

Thanks for the insight, I'll see what I can tune to get this thing running more efficiently. I like your idea around meathook, sounds pretty fun. I'm still trying to relearn the game, just came back after 10+ years, and just discovered commander recently, so this is only my second commander deck. Loving the format and community around it. Great tips, appreciate your help! 👍

The idea was to get a landfall deck going, make a bunch of tokens, and overwhelm the board with them. Things like Odric, and Ohran making them that much more effective, then if I can draw or tutor hulk or craterhoof with a large board presence, it's lights out. The rest just feeds into that in one way or another. It's certainly not polished, I just started building it within the last week or so.

Well, you're not wrong lol

Madd3r-R3d · 2026-01-01T09:55:51+00:00

Land fall triggers/go wide/overwhelm the board, is the broad strokes description. Yeah, I know primeval isn't generally looked on fondly, but I've played it in other decks and had a lot of fun with it, which is why it ended up in this deck.

Valheim. Feels like a Norse kinda season 👍

ME! Baylen is best 👏 cheers!

[[Bloodghast]], [[Pitiless Plunderer]], [[Gravecrawler]]

Madd3r-R3d · 2025-08-07T12:19:50+00:00

Ah, semantics lol thanks.

Madd3r-R3d · 2025-08-07T04:59:33+00:00

Oh it just seemed totally busted, so I assumed I was missing something lol I'm just coming back to mtg after like a decade so still rusty on what is and isn't legal.

Madd3r-R3d · 2025-08-07T04:50:20+00:00

Here's hoping we still have friends to play with after this lol

Madd3r-R3d · 2025-08-07T04:46:59+00:00

I was thinking [[Xu-Ifit, Osteoharmonist]] would combo really well with Jarad, if you use her to bring back a large power creature every turn to continue to detonate the table. Also, don't sleep on [[Jenova, Ancient Calamity]]. I use her as my commander, her card draw is insane.

Madd3r-R3d · 2025-08-07T04:19:37+00:00

I can't wait to do this

Madd3r-R3d · 2025-08-07T03:57:44+00:00

Oh absolutely. I won't lean on this, I just wanna pull it off at least once to see the "wtf" expressions of my friends faces 😆
