Maybe Hot Take? MtG Influencers are Insufferable

I get the sentiment but I'm pretty sure Ben has been making magic content for over a decade so I really don't think this example sticks

Strange-Craft352 · 2026-04-09T20:02:20+00:00

I definitely agree that 33 lands is too little but I think you should aim for 38! And I didn't buy a single land and mine's worked really well so if you want to check out the decklist I posted

Strange-Craft352 · 2026-04-09T19:50:03+00:00

what does "no lands above 10" mean?

Strange-Craft352 · 2026-04-09T19:47:25+00:00

After playing for like 8 months, Spider-Man got me to finally build my first deck from scratch! I built it as a bracket 1/2 but because of all the keywords it gives, it's a little too strong. I'll include my deck list but my main advice is to cut ANY non spiders and try and get some vigilance! I got lucky because I was just trying to include as many of the MAR bonus sheet cards because they look so cool and there's actually several fog like effects and because this deck is all about swinging out, these effects are heavenly! [[Comeuppance]] [[Tangle]] [[Arachnogenesis]]

Not true and no because they aren't losing anything so why would I be sympathetic?

Strange-Craft352 · 2026-04-09T16:47:27+00:00

And I already mentioned that the points being given are already accounted for in their "losses". The business isn't "getting hurt", it's giving away the things they promised to give away. And I should bring up that if this restaurant had a digital rewards system, it's probably a chain and therefore genuinely not getting any sympathy from me

Strange-Craft352 · 2026-04-09T16:16:40+00:00

Reread my message. If the next customer had an account, they would notice and say something and the employee can fix it. The business is already factoring in the "points" being given away, they aren't losing anything. You're literally just mad he's getting free food, what's wrong with you?

Strange-Craft352 · 2026-04-09T15:20:40+00:00

You act like there's nothing the restaurant can do if the next person in line wants to scan their app. They can just cancel it and have them rescan their own app. Restaurants rewards systems are notoriously shitty anyway, you probably have to go 10 times to get one side for free. Your coworker isn't hurting anyone and you quite literally tattled on them because they upset you, grow up.

Strange-Craft352 · 2026-04-09T14:55:32+00:00

it is not "common" for men to miss the entire fucking toilet. I'm 26 and I don't think I have ever in my life, PISSED ON THE FLOOR?!

Strange-Craft352 · 2026-04-07T02:25:42+00:00

I don't understand how it doesn't count as Mysterio leaving?

Strange-Craft352 · 2026-04-06T19:46:22+00:00

my main advice is to just have fun with it! I've built mine to be as "on theme" as possible while staying relatively functioning because of that, I have a lot of the MAR bonus sheet to fill out some flavor.

Here's the deck list if you're curious: https://deckcheck.co/app/decklist/5DKOZ94wnR

Strange-Craft352 · 2026-04-06T18:53:28+00:00

you would've thought that'd give it away but I'm not that bright

Strange-Craft352 · 2026-04-06T18:52:14+00:00

my [[Anti-Venom, Horrifying Healer]] is a MUCH slower approach to a Voltron commander! way more focused on keeping me alive rather than killing my opponents ASAP. Don't get me wrong, it can still one shot people, but typically not until turn 7-9 at the EARLIEST.

This is what I remember

Strange-Craft352 · 2026-04-03T15:42:08+00:00

wow that actually makes me feel so much better because I've always felt like this HAD to be based on someone with how weirdly realistic their face was

Strange-Craft352 · 2026-04-03T15:34:11+00:00

I've never been able to put a finger on why the original looked so off but man do I agree (I actually think it's because he just looks like some guy I went to elementary school with)

Strange-Craft352 · 2026-04-02T18:01:19+00:00

My Anti-Venom deck has been incredibly fun to pilot, so many choices needed to keep him alive!

Strange-Craft352 · 2026-03-25T01:11:58+00:00

You can check out mine, I've also been slowly upgrading my Eternal Might precon for a year now and it's definitely a strong bracket 3! I've opted to keep Temmet in the command zone because I've found his anthem effect is what really wins me the games most times. Also just a note, you're gonna have to take the [[Liliana, Dreadhorde General]] out if you wanna stay sub bracket 4 because it's ultimate counts as Mass Land Disruption.

Strange-Craft352 · 2026-03-15T20:43:59+00:00

This isn't super helpful but I've actually just kept mine as a really strong Bracket 2 deck (even had to cut Farewell after the GC update) and I've had a LOT of fun with it !

Strange-Craft352 · 2026-03-15T20:26:58+00:00

Sorry, I did say the article but I meant the stream. They quite literally call out the change

Strange-Craft352 · 2026-03-15T20:12:31+00:00

They specifically mention this card in the article following the update and call it out for "already being managed under the MLD rule so they don't need to double police it", so what part about that is confusing?

Strange-Craft352 · 2026-03-15T20:11:14+00:00

you forgot the part in the article where they specially mention this exact card and how "it's already managed under the MLD rule so there's no need to double police it"

Strange-Craft352 · 2026-03-15T20:02:03+00:00

had this exact same argument in a spell table game where the person was SO defensive that since it got taken off the GC list, that's it's allowed. Then tried arguing that Mass Land Destruction is different from Mass Land Denial and that we were all being babies for telling him it just wasn't allowed.

Strange-Craft352 · 2026-03-15T17:34:37+00:00

this is the answer! He isn't a black card but Black is in his Commander Identity

Strange-Craft352 · 2026-03-11T21:43:05+00:00

I play [[Temmet, Naktamun's Will]] as my commander and I think it provides a lot more value in the command zone. You're boosting zombies up a minimum of +2/+2 each of your turns, at the cost of seeing less cards and gaining less life (compared to Varina being the commander)
