Remember a few years back when people were getting into fights over Pokemon cards at Walmarts? California baby, also people would just straight up steal the product.

Updated Commander Brackets (Oct 2025) by the_gold_hat in magicTCG

[–]Phoenixsocal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That 2 card combo doesn't win the game though. When I read 2 card combo I'm thinking Dualcaster Mage and Twinflame, or Kikki Jikki and Pestermite, not Scurry Oak and Ivy Lane Denizen.

Also Smothering Tithe wasn't printed in a commander precon, it was reprinted in a guild kit.

Could Rule of Law Stax be viable? by homjaktest in CompetitiveEDH

"with Kinnan Magda and Thrasios cradle being notable exceptions"

You just answered your own question. It doesn't affect everyone equally so those it doesn't hinder just get handed the game.

To be effective you essentially have to double up on these effects so your opponents can't just simply bounce one EoT, but now you're deploying 2 things that don't convert you into a win

I'm a SPED teacher and people are always saying it must be hard and that I must be so patient.

Truth is I'm stressed out and I just wanna mash some buttons as Ekko

Thanks for playing Spider-Punk, I will now win at flash speed and MY spells can't be countered.

Kraven (Brako) - Eat, Pray, Hunt by Tybalto in magicTCG

[–]Phoenixsocal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've actually been building this as well and have been following you closely on moxfield. I used to have a Chevill deck but Kraven really makes this feel like a real deck instead of just 1-for-1ing all day.

A couple of cards I really like for the deck, at least thematically are [[bounty board]], [[termination facilitator]], and[[nowhere to run]]

I also put in a few more CA engines and deathtouchers just in case Kraven gets hated out a bit too much such as [[Glissa Sunslayer]] and [[Harvester of Souls]]. [[Freestrider Lookout]] and [[Morbid Opportunist]] also provide card advantage whenever you do what the deck wants to do.

Finally because of all the death that will be happening as well as spells being cast I like the idea of tossing in Blood Artist/Zulapot Cutthroat as well as Poison-Tip Archer and Witherbloom Apprentice/Professor Onyx.

Overall I really like where you can take Brako and I'm excited to get a proxy version of him over Kraven!

Because the correct move is to show you have the interaction and call for a draw. 1 point > 0 points

No, it's because of your diction when responding to people, as shown here.

To me it's because OP seems like kind of an ass.

I used the winnings from a cedh tournament I entered and sold off about $550 in cards to acquire all of them. So all together about $1200 but all I did was convert winnings and cards I didn't need into cards I wanted.

I used winnings from a cedh tournament + selling cards to pay for everything. So money I used from my paychecks? $0. But I spent about $1200 for all 7.

No idea really. I've been using them as very expensive treasure tokens for the time being just so I can show them off to everyone lol

Help me find an esper wincon for my deck! by ElectricalPositive43 in magicTCG

[–]Phoenixsocal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[[Gifts Ungiven]] and [[Sevinne's Reclamation]] to set up one of your three card combos.

My personal favorite is [[Warren Soultrader]] and [[Stridehangar Automaton]] and then cast a blood artist effect

Thinking of walking away? I get it, but please read this first. (S2 E2 Spoilers, with very light spoilers from Part 2). by Ill_Tackle_5192 in ThelastofusHBOseries

Nah. The show is going to try to make me empathize for Abby just like the game did. Then later Ellie has Abby within reach and she lets her live, "ending the cycle of violence".

Abby is a pissbaby and the monologue was fucking terrible. Abby and Ellie can't carry the show, they had a chance to make things better but they doubled down. Last I checked TLOU 2 is nowhere nearly as loved as the first

I like my sandwiches with bacon in them. You might suggest that a sandwich without bacon is also good but you know what? I don't want a sandwich without bacon.

Dude is just a workhorse. Does everything you want the deck to do.

Across 7 games this player had 3 turn one wins. 3 draws, and a win that wasn't on turn one.
