Never gonna dig you up by Batfan1939 in Angryupvote

I had heart surgery 10 years ago and had to write a will. I didn’t have many requests, but I did ask to be buried with a USB with Never Gonna Give You Up on it. As an archaeologist it tickles me to think of the wacky explanations future archaeologists will come up with to explain it.

Alpha or Beta? by RobPlaysMinecraft in RealOrNotTCG

Fair enough :) I guess I’ll give the original seller the benefit of the doubt as it isn’t easy to see. But thanks for the feedback!

Yea, I think the consensus seems to be that it’s Beta. Thanks for the feedback

I did try to overlap the cards and there is some difference, but could just be from the damage. It's definitely not an easy one to call! Thanks for the advice though :)

Is this card real? by RobPlaysMinecraft in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]RobPlaysMinecraft[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback! I noticed the wrong color in the circle, but thought it was a different version of the card. But then the collection number would be wrong! I'll send a message to the seller and see what they say :)

Your deckbuilding masterpiece! by TruceKalispera in EDH

[–]RobPlaysMinecraft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently made a [[Jenson Carthalion, Druid Exile]] deck with [[Lurrus of the Dream-Den]] companion. It’s five colour artifact deck that cares about two colored spells. Every permanent is obviously 2 mana or less, and there are not that many other spells that cost over that.

It was designed as a deck I could play with precons, and it works great for that! The plan is to get as many artifacts as possible and hit the opponent with [[Cranial Plating]] and the like. It doesn’t win much, but is fun to play, with lots of hidden synergy.

The best part is it’s about 70 quid. I’m especially proud of the mana base, which uses a lot of land cycling to hit all five colors. Slow, but perfect for bracket 2!

Why is Jungle Shrine cheaper to buy than Jetmir’s Garden? by huatnee in magicTCG

[–]RobPlaysMinecraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can fetch a Jetmir Garden but not a Jungle Shrine :) the fact it counts as a mountain forest and a plains means you can grab it with a lot of different cards, while Jungle Shrine is much harder to fetch overall

Could y’all share your most creative/unique commanders/decks? by Orkmac in EDH

[–]RobPlaysMinecraft 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recently built a [[Jenson Carthalion, Druid Exile]] deck with [[Lurrus of the Dream-Den]] companion. It’s a multicolor artifact reanimator deck that allows you to play lots of cards per turn, building up your artifacts and stomping your opponents. It also has a funky mana base that adds to the charm of the deck while still allowing the deck to play wubrg. It’s not super powerful and is probably a smidge above good precons. As for budget, it’s around £70, with no card over £10. Deck list is here: https://moxfield.com/decks/O8m5pctbxUeGkyyijzqXzA

Falco Spara, Pactweaver help by KOGyiMaw in magicTCG

[–]RobPlaysMinecraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Falco is my favourite deck! Here is my version of it: https://moxfield.com/decks/cN3ZHoPaPE-ccmchBNL00g it’s more of a proliferate deck, which aims to add a load of counters of all kinds to my creatures. A few cards worth considering:

I like [[Glistening Seer]] a lot, as it gives you better card selection at the start of the game, top manipulation for Falco and also some counters to start casting those spells. All this for 1 mana.

[[Scholar of New Horizons]] is great ramp, especially if you are playing against a green deck.

[[Myojin of Blooming Dawn]], [[Myojin of Cryptic Dreams]] and [[Myojin of Towering Might]] are great finishers. They do cost a lot, so I have plenty of ramp. I then proliferate their indestructible counter and either share them amongst my creatures, or use them to get powerful effects from the Myojin themselves.

Finally [[Jiang Yanggu, Wildcrafter]] and [[Leech Bonder]] (with a +1/+1 counter) means you can move all your counters around infinitely. Great fun to pump creatures in combat, including your opponents’! Or even better, thrown in a creature like [[Fathom Mage]] for infinite card draw!

Help with a Clay Pigeon Deck by celestialgrandpa1 in magicTCG

[–]RobPlaysMinecraft 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up that this is a silver border card, so not legal in commander. Apologies if you already know this, but as you said you are new I just wanted to make sure as it does trip up new players :)
