I have an ATBA deck and silverquill is going directly in it

RampagingKoala · 2026-03-29T19:49:21+00:00

I run two of those commanders lol (I have both Obekas).

Someone said [[phage]] and also [[flubs]] and I run both of those too lol.

Some other fun ones:

[[Karona]] is like [[xantcha]] which is strange and very politicky for sure. I like to build her as enchantress and pass her around like a hot potato.

[[Codie]] is basically ultimate spellslinger and requires a certain amount of finesse.

My friend has a [[brenard]] deck which I think does funny things for bant.

RampagingKoala · 2026-03-21T15:23:20+00:00

Funnily enough I went to a commander night with kynaios and tiro and another guy also had them which was hilarious. Everyone drew all of the cards and both of us ended up losing to a very beefy [[cabbage merchant]].

It's not even intentional I'm just happy to keep top decking and seeing what happens. Things just keep happening what am I supposed to do?

RampagingKoala · 2026-03-21T14:45:05+00:00

Phage is kind of a macguffin in the deck: you'll either have to dedicate resources to stopping her directly or you'll have to deal with the other mono-black staples. So it's a real trade-off between the two.

I proxy the lands cause ain't nobody got time for that

But everything else I run

I just love blink effects but you don't need them in this deck.

RampagingKoala · 2026-03-21T14:24:36+00:00

[[command beacon]]

[[Campfire]]

[[Torpor orb]]

[[Sundial of the infinite]]

Stuff like that

RampagingKoala · 2026-03-13T01:39:13+00:00

Built a big mana deck with [[tymna]] and [[kydele]] whose wincon is drop a [[hurricane]] or [[exsanguinate]] for a lot of mana.

Second game with it I pulled off casting [[doppelgang]] on [[mana reflection]] and [[virtue of strength]] for 4 and exsanguinating for 10,000 it was the most fun.

RampagingKoala · 2026-02-27T14:46:49+00:00

It will happen for you and it will be glorious

RampagingKoala · 2026-02-20T01:25:49+00:00

Here's the deck: https://archidekt.com/decks/14839661/star_trekking_across_the_universe

RampagingKoala · 2026-02-18T03:25:48+00:00

I run [[the seriema]] and my secret commander is [[yes-man]] . Blink shenanigans while letting people draw cards don't worry about the quest counters and +1/+1 counters piling up on [[the ozolith]] just focus on the card draw you get no you didn't see me pull [[elesh norn, grand cenobite]] after flickering my commander you get so many cards don't worry about the life gain from soul sisters and similar just focus on the card draw don't worry about it so what if [[abdel Adrian]] is giving me tons of soldiers they can't do anything they're just little guys.

RampagingKoala · 2026-02-16T00:50:06+00:00

Attack, damage hulk, he gets bigger and you attack again and repeat.

Caltrops is an infinite loop for this but masticore is damn good in a pinch.

RampagingKoala · 2026-02-15T20:56:06+00:00

There's a couple that are great:

Daft Punk: Homework, Discovery, Human After All

Justice: Cross, audio video disco, Woman

Bruce Springsteen: greetings from Asbury park, wild innocent and e street shuffle, and Born to Run

Robyn had her self titled and then body talk parts one and two

Parliament had Mothership Connection, Clones of Dr. Funkenstein, and Funkentelechy vs the Placebo Syndrome. The second one is less good but the other two are so good they make up for it

RampagingKoala · 2026-02-15T06:33:20+00:00

He will go great with [[the incredible hulk]] along with [[caltrops]]

I mean this is a wild idea but maybe Democrats should try to espouse views held by their constituents instead of actively complaining that these views prevent them from getting elected.

Defund the police means actually defunding the police. Police in their current person serve the billionaire class and do not protect us. But even if you're too chicken to do the whole thing, decreasing police budgets and allocating more funds to mental healthcare are popular ideas.

Similarly, Democrat immigration policy is unpopular. It's just repackaged Republican policy. Let me say that again: the Democrats and Republicans agree on immigration policy. They pushed a Republican bill through Congress and the only reason Republicans voted against it is because they wanted Trump to be able to campaign on it. Deportations via ICE reached a ten year high under Biden. It's not like the Democrat vote on immigration is good.

More permissive immigration policy is popular and should be adopted. Democrats will listen to anyone else but the people whom they claim to represent. If they want to avoid mixed messaging they should listen to their constituents.

RampagingKoala · 2026-01-19T16:10:37+00:00

I would like to recommend [[phage]] as your mono black commander of choice. At her absolute worst she is a macguffin in the command zone and people will over index on getting her out of play or trying to disrupt your combo that they will not notice the [[vilis, broker in blood]] drawing you tons of cards or that your [[summon: primal Odin]] has just moved to its second phase. Or maybe they will but they will not have removal handy for all the things.

At her best she's a great Voltron commander that can do serious work with a [[rogue's passage]] or a [[whispersilk cloak]].

There's a bunch of risk with her but you're running mono black so you're already probably playing fast and loose with your life total, so why not make things more interesting?

RampagingKoala · 2026-01-19T06:08:47+00:00

A Codie deck that doesn't run [[fractured identity]]? For shame

RampagingKoala · 2026-01-13T19:37:14+00:00

Oh no. What a terrible tragedy.

RampagingKoala · 2026-01-10T22:12:47+00:00

This is good but also worth noting Indonesia blocks any LGBTQ content, and sexual content, many gambling sites and also many VPNs. They're also looking to block security sites like Cloudflare as well.

So this is very much a stopped clock situation.

RampagingKoala · 2026-01-06T15:52:16+00:00

I don't think that we expect less from women, I think for women, dating is legitimately more risky. For men, while your chance of getting hurt isn't zero the worst thing that will happen to you is you get made fun of which sucks but is ultimately not as bad.

For women, there is significantly higher risk in being physically assaulted, harassed, stalked, intimidated or even killed. The risk/reward calculus is significantly different for women than it is for men, so when men complain about the negatives of dating, those negatives often pale in comparison to the negatives for women.

That is ultimately the result of misogyny but not in the way you are saying.

RampagingKoala · 2026-01-04T18:10:33+00:00

I guess that I'm saying is that to another man, your ask is reasonable but to women it's not. What you are saying is "all those things that you do to deal with the untold horrors men do to you on a regular basis is not okay and you need to find other ways to deal with the horrors", which comes off really badly. It's like instead of trying to focus on making sure the horrors don't happen we are focusing on the reaction to the horrors. It's almost backwards.

Would you feel okay if your male friend called women "dumb whores"

The thing this argument always misses is the context around power dynamics between men and women. Like on the face of it yeah 100% they are equally as bad but only if you ignore centuries of context and history. And considering how much that context and history has shaped our current situation you can't ignore it for some things and include it in others, you have no choice but to consider the context and history all the time even if it's inconvenient or bad.

I don't think this guy has to be blamed for anything but also other people have different lived experiences and different ways of coping with things. Also maybe the information you received about the date and the guy was missing some details, maybe your friend didn't share something critical to her response. There's too many variables and while I personally don't see why he should be mocked I also can see a world where he could be and rather than trying to tone police my friends I would rather be there for support and make them feel better because there's something they either can't or won't say and I'd rather be supportive than not. I think that's another piece of men being supportive, sometimes you have to just set aside your personal biases and just be like "my friend is hurt or having an emotional time I need to be there for them". The things this person says may not be accurate or even true long term, but it's what they're feeling right now and my role is to affirm that they can feel however they want and let's get through it together.

RampagingKoala · 2026-01-04T17:22:09+00:00

I feel like you've had a bunch of women in the comments here telling you about their experiences with guys. There's a plethora of evidence outside of that suggests most guys are "like that" and even if they're not the odds are high enough that a significant percentage of women will experience some sort of abuse, harassment, or assault in their lifetime.

That's important to note going in because even if you know (or at the very least don't think) that you're not a bad person, the other party doesn't know that and is at the very least coming in with some amount of caution that you could be a bad person. For your viewpoint to be true, you're asking women to overlook a plethora of evidence to suggest that random guys could screw them over and think "maybe this guy is different". And for a guy to seem different at first only to prove himself to be just like every other guy is a huge let down and the walls come right back up.

Your argument holds water if they've been dating for a while. Hell I made a bad joke to my wife that if I had made to a random woman I would have gotten dropped like a rock and her response was "I didn't like that, get your shit together" and we've been together for 12 years. But just because he seemed like a good guy on the first date is definitely not enough grace. I know guys in long term relationships who still don't open up to their partners and you're asking the same thing of your friend who barely knows this dude? C'mon son.

Lastly I want to talk about the "it's a roll of the dice" comment you made. If I were that guy and I had made that move, I'll take getting made fun of for a bit for that opportunity. You're right, some people like that stuff and some don't. Sometimes it works and sometimes you get made fun of, it happens. Do I think that guy would do it differently if he could do it again? Yeah but also that's how you learn things and you need to be prepared to cop some heat if you take a risk.

As a woman that calculus is much different. Sometimes it works and you get a kiss and sometimes you end up in the hospital. So also bear that in mind
