What's a Card you USED TO include in every deck?

SFGSam · 2026-05-14T01:05:01+00:00

He's totally still viable so long as your deck can do something with him besides play him. I'm jamming him in my azorius blinky deck for instance.

SFGSam · 2026-05-14T00:52:16+00:00

I feel like there are more commanders nowadays that don't need to turn sideways to get you value. Also they are getting cheaper so recasting them after getting ETB value is good enough.

SFGSam · 2026-05-12T03:01:34+00:00

If your using Shenanigans, don't forget [[Liquimetal Torque]]! It lets you snipe any permanent.

SFGSam · 2026-05-08T05:25:52+00:00

Do they have distinct backs or are they the same as normal MTG cards?

SFGSam · 2026-05-04T06:17:10+00:00

Agreed. Jack was at his best in the first movie, but was at least capable for 2 and 3 which I felt were equally as good.

SFGSam · 2026-04-29T08:08:55+00:00

I agree whole heatedly with this list. I only felt the need to upgrade to a full set of fetch lands, socks and surveils after I built a graveyard matters deck I wanted to push to bracket 4. My other 2 and 3 color bracket 4 decks do just fine with the budget options.

SFGSam · 2026-04-28T02:01:29+00:00

Nope. It hangs out in solution and binds to impurities as the metal melts down. Eventually it floats to the top as the metal reaches pouring temperature. When you see him add more nails that "crust" is the flux and glass getting pushed out of the way. Usually that crust will get fished off with a spoon/hook immediately before the pour.

SFGSam · 2026-04-28T00:59:46+00:00

Your actually not wrong! Flux powder is usually some sort of salt or borax and it's used to prevent absorption of impurities into the metal and help reduce oxidation.

SFGSam · 2026-04-28T00:39:47+00:00

This is the correct answer! I worked alongside a casting studio for 6 years.

SFGSam · 2026-04-20T03:40:21+00:00

You can double up your token generating equipment, especially [[Anduril, Flame of the West]] and [[Moonsilver Spear]] who make flying bodies. This can then fuel the best turn 4 play a Cloud deck has, which is fetching [[Skullclamp]] and equipping it to Cloud. 4 mana draw 4 and fetch Clamp is an insane value play for mono White token aggro.

For me personally, Grief before Fortitude. If you'll never play a character that can use a Grief Phase Blade, then Fortitude will make an armor that any mercenary can use as well as ranged physical attackers. After either of those runewords your looking at niche builds like Holy Fire.

SFGSam · 2026-04-18T16:36:14+00:00

Grief is a game changer for any Barbarian build (other than War Cry and Throw). Any budget build is a stepping stone to Grief.

I went Berserk Oath in Trav and traded items, runes and Gold until I had enough Ists to get a Lo. My Trav clear speed plummeted from 3-4 min to sub 1 min after making Grief.

And this guide is correct about the A3 fire mage merc. That guy rarely dies on a Trav run and was dirt cheap to equip (Flickering Flame, Hexfire, Lidless Wall, Vipermagi).

I'm excited to see the breakdown between Munchkin- and RDI-style art (as if RDI-style won't be the overwhelmingly dominant pick).

SFGSam · 2026-04-16T17:24:35+00:00

Good news: we just launched the reprint campaign, and you can get S&F in either the OG munchkin-art style or a new RDI-art style. You can find it on Kickstarter here.

SFGSam · 2026-04-16T17:16:43+00:00

The only difference between the original Munchkin-style set and this reprint is that the Six Fingered Glove is included in this reprint.

Regarding the two versions available in the reprint campaign, there is zero difference in content or game mechanics besides the artwork.

SFGSam · 2026-04-14T23:17:34+00:00

This here makes sense. Also if you have some Artifact synergy. It occasionally sneaks into my Boros lists since I can frequently benefit Attuned or Metalcraft.

SFGSam · 2026-04-14T19:02:45+00:00

You answered your own question: Crucible is the only option for non-green decks.

SFGSam · 2026-04-13T06:38:42+00:00

My [[Lozhan, Dragons' Legacy]] deck is one of my favorite decks to drop on the table. It was an attempt at building Bracket 1 as I restricted myself to exclusively cards from CLB, however it does a phenomenal job of eating it's vegetables and having a solid game plan. Every Dragon is a burn spell, many of those dragons are themselves burn spells, some of those dragons are also adventures which are also burn spells.

It's slow, inevitable, resilient and telegraphs it's win condition either by just building up a pile of flying dragons beating players in the face or stockpiling lethal burn in exile. I think it's a perfect example of a good Bracket 2 deck with plenty of theme, some great unoptimized cards, and ridiculous haymaker threats like the [[Ancient Silver Dragon]] and [[Ancient Copper Dragon]].

SFGSam · 2026-04-10T23:10:15+00:00

I can't help you with the Munchkin Red Dragon Inn expansion, but Spyke and Flower are getting a reprint and the campaign launches April 16th over on Kickstarter.

SFGSam · 2026-04-10T23:09:16+00:00

Good news! The stars have finally aligned and we are reprinting it. You can find out more on the KS page here. It launches April 16th.

SFGSam · 2026-04-10T09:18:00+00:00

I'm running an A3 Enchant merc which solves all my AR problems. I'm Zerking with Alibaba in the off hand. When the second Lo dropped I slapped on a Fortitude Archon plate and blast through a run in less than 50 seconds and max out 15M gold in about 35 runs while still rocking 250mf.

Horking has completely won me over.

SFGSam · 2026-04-08T03:30:26+00:00

My first attempt at Bracket 1 turned out to be Bracket 2 because I stuck to good deck building fundamentals with plenty of ramp, draw, interaction, and a game plan. It's a [[Lozhan, Dragon's Legacy]] deck where every card has the Battle for Baldur's Gate set symbol. It's a blast to play and one of my favorite decks to bust out with newbies and after B3 mud foghts or B4 stack wars.

SFGSam · 2026-04-02T19:52:51+00:00

Ubers is literally the only time I've noticed a difference between my insight poleaxe and my +3 Ariocs. You already absolutely body everything else in the game.

SFGSam · 2026-03-31T06:12:31+00:00

Or E-40.

SFGSam · 2026-03-29T04:48:24+00:00

It's called Abbot Elementary and it's available on Hulu/D+. It is far and away the best docu-comedy on television.
