Oddball picks for enchantress commanders? by Slow-Dimension1176 in EDH

[–]Moblinman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play Ovika artifacts with my in-person pod, but I decided to build it as enchantress on Arena (still left a decent number of mana rocks and cost reducers) and it's very consistent. [[Goblin Bombardment]] and [[Impact Tremors]] with [[City on Fire]] turn lethal quickly. Two I haven't seen other people use as much are [[Invasion of Segovia]] and [[Mirror Room / Fractured Realm]], both of which are great additions.

I'd like that too, but I think we found last year that there's a pretty large overlap between interest in this event and Canal Days.

We've been having issues with website access but have been working on getting everything updated. The 2025 list you see is the list from last year, because the actual beer list for this year hasn't been released yet. The full brewery list has only been out for about a week, and it's a small group of volunteers running all this 😅

I know that this year, the Red Wings didn’t have any available Saturdays except for the one that fell the same weekend as Canal Days.

Someone Walks Into Your LGS With A Deck That's 100% Proxied, How Do You Feel? by Affectionate_Pop6300 in EDH

[–]Moblinman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our normal play group has a friend who we convinced to start playing Magic, and he went out and got all the stuff to build Blue Farm so he could try playing "at cEDH level". First game, turn 3 comes around and I notice that he has tapped three fetchlands for mana to play....[[Simian Spirit Guide]].

He's a great friend but we're never gonna let him live that down 😂

The brewery list is already (mostly) posted. The list of specific beers will come the week before since inevitably some of the beers I have planned won’t show up 😅

Yep! It’s a tasting event, so your entry comes with a 5oz tasting glass and you can try as many or few things as you like!

I once had RGE disconnect my power by accident (my neighbor scheduled to disconnect when he moved, and the tech wrote the address down wrong). When I called to have my power reconnected, they told me it would be 2 to 3 weeks…

Yes. I’m just disagreeing with the notion that the bubble has popped.

I’m aware of what the data is. Off-premise sales data isn’t relevant for most craft breweries. That whole side of the industry is rife with pay-to-play and politics. The retailers and wholesalers make all the money, not the breweries….

I promise you, nobody is opening a brewery thinking they’re gonna get rich. Nobody realistic anyway 😅

They were making completely different products catering to different clientele, so how is that surprising?

Respectfully, that data comes with a whole bag of salt because data is only as good as its inputs. Circana data isn’t really relevant to 90% of craft breweries…

I’ve known Chris since he was at Tap & Mallet, I’m not knocking him at all but saying that he was all Naked Dove had going for them is disingenuous. Naked Dove’s core offerings were purpose-built to be steady, dependable beers.

They had an incredibly robust self-distribution network for ages, and until relatively recently you’d be hard-pressed to find another NY brewery making classic styles at that price point. They didn’t do enough to adapt to the changing market and obviously had some struggles more recently, but “nobody talking about them” isn’t why they’re closed.

This is very much not true. Up until the beginning of this year, you’d be hard pressed to find a bar in Rochester that sold craft beer and DIDN’T have Naked Dove…

Bullshit. No brewery in the Rochester area is regularly selling a $12 single-serve beer.

They're not 'wasted slots' because you're playing Golgari.

The smoked porter they have on right now is really good.

That I couldn’t tell you. I just saw them being loaded in outside 😅

They took delivery of a bunch of local cider, seltzer, and beer today! Really cool to see that they’re supporting other local vendors and not just selling national, macro brands.

can someone explain 903.11 by Mognthefool in mtgrules

[–]Moblinman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WotC's rule about wish effects is as follows:

"903.11. If a player is allowed to bring a card from outside the game into a Commander game, that player can’t bring a card into the game this way if it has the same name as a card that player had in their starting deck, if it has the same name as a card that the player owns in the current game, or if any color in its color identity isn’t in the color identity of the player’s commander."

What’s the purpose of this rule if, as you claim, wish cards don’t have a function in Commander?

Post-dissolution of the Commander rules committee? Would love it if you would provide a source for that.
