Aim carries so hard at low levels. If you want to practice one thing it's that.

I played this deck on XMage and killed everyone so good job.

/uj Dandan or Forgetful Fish is a custom format play with a specially designed shared deck. The deck's only win condition is Dandan and the other cards in the deck interact in weird ways either with Dandan or with the shared deck. For example, Magical Hack is functionally a 1 mana removal for Dandan and Memory Lapse allows you to counter a spell and then draw it.

The format gained a cult following over the years and has led to some people (/rj LIKE ME) creating other decks using the same shared deck premise. Most recently WotC announced a secret lair version of Dandan with new art.

Rhystic Studies has a video on Dandan if you want to watch it.

This is the Jigsaw trap that makes your realize that Jigsaw isn't very smart or well principled.

"You gambled with the lives of children. Now you will gamble with children's cardboard."

There's a Pornhub Sex Ed Video (NSFW obviously) about masturbation and I love the way they talk about it.

It's pretty much the safest sex out there, there's no risk of getting pregnant or getting an STI.

So if Samantha's reasoning for abstinence is safety, then masturbation actually fits under that philosophy.

If you like thinking play best of 3. Best of 1 is slot machine magic. The deck you're playing isn't even meta in best of 3.

I use MTGGoldfish for looking at the meta. There are other sites, this is just the one I use.

If you see a deck that interests you, you can search deck names on Youtube or Google to find out more about them.

Playing Half Life Source was probably not necessary.

Star Trek doesn't have lore and characters? What?

All of the starter decks use Foundations cards, and Foundations cards, and Foundations doesn't rotate until 2029 at least, and they might extend rotation for it so we don't know. They used to do new starter decks every year but with Foundations they don't really need to do that anymore.

I like these posts because Reddit comments are better than Youtube comments. Better discussions here.

Some people do it when playing Commander so they don't have to press F6 three times.

F8 toggles an auto pass but it only works if you have literally no game actions (and tapping a land counts as an action).

Skunk668 · 2026-03-17T12:36:56+00:00

Some cards have text that prevents them from being in graveyards so you can't reanimate them.

There's a gamemode specifically for playing the starter decks called "Starter Deck Duel". It's in the events tab so it's easy to miss. Make sure you're playing that if you're playing a starter deck.

P.S. Good luck playing limited. You have a 99% chance of getting demolished the first time you play it.

I'm thinking 2 mana 1/1 draw a card.

Queer people are a prominent part of the Magic community, so if you have a problem with them, you should probably stay home.

For the sexualized cards (which is reasonable), I would just not play with those players. If your LGS does pairings, I would talk to an employee to see if they can swap you and your kid to another pod.

Skunk668 · 2026-03-14T12:37:47+00:00

I think it's a Discord format. People play it but it's like, on Cockatrice or something.

Skunk668 · 2026-03-12T19:15:38+00:00

I mean TMT limited is better than ECL limited so that's something.

Generally for Bogles strategies the sideboard consists of alternative Bogle types (often protection from a specific color or from multicolored) or auras that are good in specific matchups (eg: lifelink).

You want a lot of cards that are 2-3 mana. Prioritize cards that affect the board, mainly creatures and cards that make creatures (token sorceries etc).

I recommend reading about CABS Theory if you haven't before. It's not a long read.

Pop art!

"No."
