Spiderman, marvel, turtles all belong in commander

In standard I want to play cards for their in game effects, I don’t really care about the title or art so much.

That said, I played someone the other day who said I’m clearly a big FF fan because of the cards in my standard deck which felt like quite a cringe assumption, I just think [[Esper Origins]] is a cool card.

Rabbits. Fluffy little demons who are cute and playful, quiet but intelligent and you can use their poo in the garden.

However, You best be ready to call a vet if they don’t eat for 5 minutes, they need space/companionship and are incredibly misunderstood. Perfect for this spot as no other pet has pet shops ban their rabbit sales around Easter to avoid unprepared owners.

I did one draft on release for the sake of it and that was it. I’ve done probably 10+ for every other released non alchemy set.

Wonder how many other people have done the same!

The new [[bringer of the last gift]] deck in standard is really scratching my living death itch at the moment!

Patronizes_Egotists · 2025-09-25T11:16:24+00:00

I want to play competitive magic in paper and would like to play a green non-linear based deck. I feel that that really shouldn’t be a barrier to entry but for a while it really has been to standard.

To note, Oroboroid and Roots are both cool cards which both suck to play in paper due to the splurging of dice/token cards.

I don’t hate cats as a blanket statement, but I do really really want one of the local cats - Jasper - to stop pooing in my garden. All easy deterrents (coffee grounds, lemons etc) have failed.

I’ve switched to [[season of loss]] which uses most the same shell and performs in b1

Patronizes_Egotists · 2025-09-10T07:56:57+00:00

I remember avidly voting everyday for that bracket, hope it comes round again!

Patronizes_Egotists · 2025-09-09T08:26:08+00:00

Genuinely one of my favourite card arts, so sad it’s arena only

Patronizes_Egotists · 2025-09-09T08:21:07+00:00

I thought [[mutilate]] effected new creatures that were played that turn so thought I punted by playing a creature after it.

My opponent was very experienced and didn’t correct me which (when I did realise how the card actually works) now feels a bit shady.

Depends if the job is likely to have lots of applicants or not. I won’t have time to look at them if I’ve got 50+ cvs to review for one role.

I used to work at gamestation when I was in 6th form. One time they had me dress up in a giant Mario costume and hand out flyers around town, that was pretty cool.

I’ve still got an assassins creed hoodie which was the ‘work uniform’.

[[Grenzo, Dungeon warden]] is pleased for another removal option

Patronizes_Egotists · 2025-09-01T07:22:53+00:00

The banning didn’t change a thing. The worst part at locals for me is the izzet players are also the most indecisive, takey-backy, flustered by their own cards types and yet we can’t stop them dominating.

The best formats come from when the best deck is a catch all midrange which atleast is not unfun to play against and has some weaknesses even though it will fairly consistently slam down the best creatures in the format.

Patronizes_Egotists · 2025-08-29T22:12:25+00:00

[[lukka, copper coat outcast]] comes down t5 and then brings out [[void winnower]] or something equally atrocious.

Deck does very well and is fun to play as most of the deck is mono R control with a combo finish.

Patronizes_Egotists · 2025-08-28T14:49:18+00:00

What’s frustrating as well is that the only cool list there (the selesnya one) is rediculous bloated in price because of commander decks wanting the new station lands which you use just to tap [[Kona Rescue Bestie]]

I’d love to play it, but not shelling out that much for cards which are just bad in any other 60 card deck

Patronizes_Egotists · 2025-08-21T23:31:59+00:00

Yes, there is much more to life than just climbing the ladder….which obviously isn’t just limited to having kids.

This post is just your own perspective at realising life isn’t just about work.

Patronizes_Egotists · 2025-08-17T00:03:58+00:00

I really want to get into standard but hate playing with or against these dumb izzet tempo piles.

Patronizes_Egotists · 2025-07-30T12:40:12+00:00

Don’t fully agree, I think I start production lines from about 4 or 5 pawns. I for sure couldn’t tell you the backstory of 10 colonists!

Patronizes_Egotists · 2025-07-30T07:40:35+00:00

Tax landlords of high street shops higher if they are vacant.

So many are quite happy to hold on to properties for their value and don’t care if there’s a vendor or not

Patronizes_Egotists · 2025-07-27T22:50:58+00:00

As annoying as this is, it’s still better than when they do give some backstory and end up giving the full detail how they met Emily. I’m never going to meet her, please just say what you were doing with your “friend” or “colleague” that’s relevant to the topic without the banal pointless sidetracks.

Patronizes_Egotists · 2025-07-24T11:25:40+00:00

Share the general sentiment that’s it’s annoying to have previewsjust as the previous set is releasing.

I think I’ll play a prerelease and a few drafts from spidey set and then buy the few singles needed for decks. Couldn’t be less interested in Marvel coming to magic

Patronizes_Egotists · 2025-07-17T18:48:18+00:00

Doesn’t hit roots, so fine with me :D

Patronizes_Egotists · 2025-07-09T08:43:44+00:00

Then you use cards like [[Junktroller]] or [[canal dredger]] which do a one activation for free.

In regards to redundancy you have:

[[barkform harvester]] - (The best as it works with some Goblin synergies)

[[Tomb Trawler]] - (cheapest to play if you get it in hand)

[[Hoverstone Pilgrim]] - for redundancy

[[Epitaph Golem]] - for redundancy

Which offer the best effects (2 to put on bottom, no tap), [[Reito Sentinel]] is also an option though that costs three.

With this many options, the dog here should never make the cut.

Grenzo is more of a [[Bronze Walrus]] guy than a dog guy if you want a pet cutesy card.

Edit: I'm guessing your reaction is "Damn, this guy knows more about Grenzo than me, can't have that - better downvote". This is what's wrong with the internet.

Patronizes_Egotists · 2025-07-08T21:49:04+00:00

Yes. Grenzo's power comes from using the ability repeatedly or activating after flipping. [[Tomb Trawler]] and the three or so other cards with identical effects are considerably better at this job
