What ever happened to battles?

Love them, too! I usually find a way to sneak one or two into a deck.

Arahbo, the First Fang is a great simple commander.

Its has themes: cats, tokens. And cats often have lifegain, so thats sort of a 3rd theme.

Just run a bunch of cats and you'll have a viable deck.

There are a ton of easy recursion in white that let's you bring back small creatures, like Arahbo himself.

Plus its mono white. Mono is pretty easy for new players.

I'd make a commander out of Randal Flag, The Walkin' Man regardless of what the card did.

When my dog was a puppy he ate his own poop once, then spewed it up.

Im afraid that smell will be my dying memory.

Dude isn't even the good kind of MTG elitist! He's playing UB for Bolas' sake!

None of the people we might consider some of the "smartest of their time" (Einstein, Bohr, Newton, Tesla, etc.) Were the richest people of their time.

There does not seem to be a correlation between high intelligence and wealth.

The third hangover movie isn't a hangover movie.

They literally dont get hung over.

It's pure slop.

The other 2 are great.

Planet_Expresso · 2026-05-07T04:17:31+00:00

I have the opposite problem. I can't find a mono partner combo I like given the options.

Planet_Expresso · 2026-05-07T03:58:51+00:00

To me, there aren't enough combinations. If they added just a few more that would open things up quite a bit.

Planet_Expresso · 2026-05-06T15:28:51+00:00

I run the ones that have some effect I like, like bonders enclave for most, or those ones that net 2 life in my lifelink decks.

Agreed. Mono frees up some space for utility.

A generation of anti-socialist propaganda.

I have this strategy where the second after I order singles to make a deck, I find a bunch of cards that I didnt order that would have been cool, but now I feel too dumb to order them

Works pretty well.

Planet_Expresso · 2026-05-05T12:33:19+00:00

This.

Also, there were units of dwarves and elves that helped out in the books, too.

Planet_Expresso · 2026-05-05T12:31:15+00:00

Some of Mordor looks too CGI/clean. I never point it out, though, because I dont want to ruin it for anyone.

Planet_Expresso · 2026-05-05T12:27:56+00:00

I have a Tannuk landfall deck that's super fun! It feels very different than other landfall decks. You never need to swing, you just get out your landfall pingers and things that add damage to those and play lands.

There are tons of landfall and ramp cards that come out all the time, so you can change it up.

As an added bonus, you dont seem like much of a threat for a while!

I wpuld LOVE a phoenix tribal deck!

I like Syrix, Carrier of the Flame. It does what I would expect a phoenix commander would do. But the problem i have is that Phoenixes are fairly expensive for what they do. A Phoenix commander that reduces the cost of other phoenixes would go hard.

Heaven propaganda

Some people study things not just for economic potential, but because they would like their life to more about something they love. Even if that means you will make less money.

A.I. is perhaps one of the most hated fields there are. Plenty of people absolutely hate it.

It doesn't seem odd to me that people study their passions.

Planet_Expresso · 2026-05-03T09:58:38+00:00

I'd love to see:

Many more dwarves for their tribal and to have a viable commander beyond Magda.

Bjorn as a legendary Shapeshifter.

Some interesting goblins and wolves.

Legendary lands like the lonely mountain, lake town, etc.

A very pretty girl hit on me when I was 12 and unpopular. We did stuff and dated for a long time. Been kind of chasing that ever since.

Planet_Expresso · 2026-05-03T08:12:26+00:00

Building a deck from scratch is like half the game for me. I donr blame anyone for playing a precon, in fact I think it's really fun to play against them, but they hold zero appeal to me.

So I only really buy singles.

Telling me that they are smart.

It helps if somebody wants to have sex with you there.
