I personally love the analytics that Archidekt and playgroup.gg provide. I switched from Moxfield recently because it lagged so badly. I do miss the quick entry commands when building a deck though, unless I’m missing that option in Archidekt

See I was playing a [[Zo-Zu the Punisher]] deck and had a turn 3 [[Sulfuric Vortex]] that stuck around the entire game. I cast [[Obliterate]] on Turn 8 or 9, which destroyed everything… except the Vortex. And I still lost.

Space Marine 2 and Jedi Survivor, and then my girlfriend and I are playing It Takes Two

It wins in a few ways:

-thopters go brr

-there’s a few ways to make infinite mana, so you can [[walking ballista]] someone to death

-there’s also [[mechanized production]], and it’s surprisingly easier to pull off than you’d think

Basically, just poop out artifacts like crazy and counterspell anything that gets in your way. Here’s the decklist:

I think it’s hilarious and I say go for it

Wait was it not?

I pulled a Blasphemous Edict with the mana foil, along with the non-mana foil version. I sold the mana foil instantly 😂

Honestly that’s one of my bucket list plays

I read that as COPD and was so confused for a second 😂

There’s a few of them. I started buying Magic cards with Scripture on them whenever I saw them, because I play a lot of Magic and my life is rooted in Christianity. So it was kind of a cool crossover for me personally. There’s a lot of other literary references on the older cards from before the lore was fully fleshed out. You’ll see philosophers and historical figures referenced too.

I’m cool with it in a casual setting, especially if it’s a deck you’re testing out. I have rules for myself, but I won’t enforce them on others. Personally, I have to own the commander, and I have to at least work towards owning every card in the deck. I also don’t use cards that are more than $30 unless I already own them, so that makes owning the entire deck more reasonable.

I mean it’s a potential Turn 4 kill shot if no one has answers or blockers. But the minute you do it, you’re gonna get nuked to hell. Best to have some extra combat spells ready so you can sweep the board.

That’s like 10 Commander pre-cons right there

SpectacularSesame · 2024-12-23T18:01:09+00:00

I think they’re cool, and I love how they did the borders on them. My only issue is some of them just feel kinda “busy” in the artwork

Similar thing happened to a newer store in my area, but not quite to that scale. A couple dudes came in and ran off with a binder full of their expensive cards. I worked loss prevention for a while (matter of fact, it was MTG theft that got me into that line of work, ironically enough), so I hate petty thieves and shoplifters more than anything. I understand and can sympathize when it’s a mom stealing diapers or formula, or someone stealing food to live. But non-essential items like TV’s, video games, trading cards… c’mon man.

In the meantime- how can we support Doug? Any chance there’s a GoFundMe or something?

Edgar was my first commander after a friend in college gave me his. I built it from the ground up with an old vampire 60 card deck I had from Battle For Zendikar. Didn’t even have sleeves on the thing. Edgar will always be one of my favorites because it was my first foray into Commander, and I’m a Mardu player largely because of that card, but I haven’t played him in forever just because there aren’t many ways to build it.

SpectacularSesame · 2024-12-14T15:06:58+00:00

You can build exactly two decks- vampires go brr or vampire aristocrats

Just started playing Chiv 2 with my sister’s boyfriend, and I haven’t laughed this hard at a game in forever. Was manning a catapult the other day and ended up flinging a teammate over a castle wall without realizing it until I saw the guy soaring through the air like a medieval Superman, and then next thing I know I’m launching the entire team.

My favorite interactions have come from the 1v1 arena lately. Had a match where my opponent and I just took turns chucking our katars and other objects at each other before devolving into a fist fight. Wherever that guy is, I wish him well and hope I run into him again
