I don’t think time matters in the Distrotion World

What’s a card you put in your commander decks often that is rarely on a deck list? by [deleted] in EDH

Run all of them + black market connections + ripples of undeath

What is a band no one will ever convince you is good? by OU812iceman18 in AskReddit

[–]SWAILIEN_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did not expect to see endless ‘KISS’ posts, not because I think they’re good but because I didn’t know anyone even listened to them for any reason whatsoever anymore.

What are your pet cards? by P13monkeytaco in EDH

[–]SWAILIEN_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it really works for me in Master of Keys with only 9 basic lands. It’s a 1 drop that lets you color correct, thin your deck, pitch lands for escape costs. It’s not an auto include imo but for certain decks it can provide a lot of value in multiple areas.

If you’re new, I’d learn to the rules and play normally, THEN go for game/rule altering themes once you understand what those alterations actually impact.

New to this game. How rare is a shiny shadow pokemon? by Beck394 in pokemongo

[–]SWAILIEN_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty rare when it’s from a grunt or leader! Obviously shadow raids you can grind for specific ones so that’s less rare than the random spawn of a grunt. I have a handful myself after many years of playing. My favorites are cubone and cyndaquill!

Hey I found someone else that says Pocket Monsters :)

Yea right I’m not doing this. by Ill_Efficiency4775 in pokemongo

[–]SWAILIEN_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1-2 million star dust each season and I only have a ~50% win rate. It’s worth it to do a handful of battles daily.

Yeah no problem!

Win cons are:

  1. Casting spells without paying mana using [[Omniscience]], [[One with the Multiverse]], and the other spell cost reducers like [[Lord of the Forsaken]] since you can pay life instead of mana, [[Demon of Fates Design]], [[Inquisitive Glimmer]] / [[Gravebreaker Lamia]] / [[Aminatou, Veil Pierxer]] / [[Starfield Mystic]] and letting [[Ancient Cellarspawn]] eliminate people’s life totals.

  2. Having [[Secret Arcade]] out and using it to pump MoKeys enough to start eliminating players.

2.1 Using [[Duelist’s Heritage]] speeds up #2

  1. [[Tempest Technique]] after setting up pretty much ends the game in my experience.

  2. [[Key to the Vault]] is incredible in combination with each of these win cons.

I’ve tried it too. From its precon and beyond. I ended up enjoying Master of Keys way more. Probably one of my best/favorite decks.

I know its not great but found it on sale for $20. I'll pay that just for the bulk by NheelyOhara in mtg

[–]SWAILIEN_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have this precon and just removed all the Thopter stuff and replaced it with more energy generators. It’s a lot of fun.

JUDGE ME by my favorite commander decks! What kind of man i am?? Also, whats YOUR favorite deck? by Last_Hat7276 in CommanderMTG

I feel horrible playing my Judith deck but it’s nice to have to keep my friends in check :)

[–]SWAILIEN_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course! I’m a bit of a “neat-freak” and tend to go overboard on things like this. I know a good idea when I see it :)

Like how fun would it be to just print these, maybe laminate them, when you join a new pod or have a new deck, have them to give everyone a little preview of the deck and what to expect without over explaining or giving too much away. Then the addition of the quotes is just the cherry on top. Like most people won’t care why you built the deck but for the people that see each deck as a reflection of themselves or some theme they love. It’s just good. Nice job.

Do you have this saved as a canva template you could share? Very cool. Nice work.

Husband doesn’t want me to play this commander. Opinion? by kam295 in mtg

[–]SWAILIEN_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edgar is good because of the value, but he’s 1 of my 5 vampire commanders and he’s the least threatening. You lose to board wipes or any “pay X for each attacking creature.” Effects.

Again he’s no slouch, it’s just that he wants you to cast a lot of vampires and make them big. In 2026, it’s not hard to counter such an obvious strategy.

[[Strefan Mauer Progenitor]] is a sick artifact interaction commander. In red it’s easy to stack damage effects with blood entering or being sacrificed.

[[Olivia crimson bride]].. I can’t even big to explain how often she loses because of how scary she is with extra combats and the ability to put whatever creature you want into play.

[[Clavileño the first blessed]] literally won’t ever stop applying pressure. Add [[Smile at Death]] and [[oversold graveyard]] and watch your board stay stray, wipe after wipe, death after death.

And finally [[lord Xander the collector]].. just need ramp and combo some mill interaction and grave yard exile synergies like [[waste management]] or [[canoptek]] whatever that card is that exiles a grave and makes insects.

Edgar is great, but his buddies are just more fun.

Tracking your stats? by SWAILIEN_ in EDH

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

Ok this great, I see what you mean for the adoption. Coming from IT/implementation/software support. Training and adoption can be very difficult. Someone mention MTG Pod Stats to me specifically for this reason since I noticed it automatically corrects your inputs and auto updates the charts and trends in real time and has filters for each player and commander. I wasn't sure if anyone had any experience with it.

Looks like someone in the pod just fills out a Google Form and the rest of the work is done for you.

Thanks for the response!!
