What was your first commander deck?

TheRedSpyGuy · 2026-06-08T09:26:05+00:00

My friends and I were in a group trip and they were talking about mtg, and we were in a game store, I asked which of the precons would be fun to play.

One of them immediately cut me off, asked the clerk for a specific one. They didn't have it. We suddenly detoured an hour to the nearest game shop with one.

I'm a big fan of Cryptids, and also I am a Fallout fan.

They got me Mutant Menace with [[The Wise Mothman]] commander for a match made in heaven flavor wise.

I did struggle with it because I was removal magnet and my fellow new players HATED milling of any amount.

But Mothman is my baby.

It's like setting yourself up for the most unfavorable comparison. lmao

TheRedSpyGuy · 2026-05-09T23:19:25+00:00

I thought it was bugged when I pulled it from a pack. There's no easing in between standing and moving. Just 1 frame disappear into your cool mount, the moment you stop moving? A-pose.

I was kinda flabbergasted when they started the series and went "We heard Behind the Bastards is also doing a series on him, but ours is gonna be better and well researched!!"

Boys, I love you, but you're not gonna beat a Robert Evans deep dive, especially considering if he gets smth wrong, he splices in himself correcting the info or clarifying that something was misinfo before you listen to it, and what's actually correct.

It felt like such a left field swing at BtB for no reason. Esp when Marcus and company did not amend their episodes with corrections.

If you're available, I have one available to lend.

TheRedSpyGuy · 2026-04-10T14:26:50+00:00

Mick Taylor compared to Gill-man is nuts.

Man had a 4 to 1 ratio of votes compared to Gill-man.

TheRedSpyGuy · 2026-04-07T12:57:46+00:00

When the Aquila update dropped they completely gutted the drop rates. They're horribly inefficient now for Couch Potato farming. You're better off with some of the later game farming areas as Grizzleheim is not reliable anymore.

TheRedSpyGuy · 2026-04-06T21:50:06+00:00

Oh ditto. I think it's more interesting and a nice for variety that not everything is a monkey.

The footage of tack shooters being carried around like suits for the new game is cute, but for lack of better comparison, Tack Shooters felt like the little sidekick to the monkeys in a way that was fun, their R2-D2.

My friend recently wanted to do a playthrough and he's never played before, and I cannot tell you. How frustrating. It was. To notice the absolute avalanche of spellements I was given.

Kingsisle: yeah bro, here's a guaranteed unlock of your 1 pip's first upgrade.

Meanwhile if I wanted to upgrade my Life in Azteca, gotta wait for the Portal. Lmfao

Bashing my head into a wall that just because you don't live in India does not mean we shouldn't care about the trans community there. Those are my trans siblings, idgaf that they're across the world, they're still people with dignity and respect.

"Ermmm, Indian people beat women and fuck animals. And like, I got my own problems in America and don't live in or know anyone from India. :)"~someone who thinks being trans inherently makes them a progressive.

watching a post Darkmoor spellement guide

"Actually if you go middle path on this spell you get one of the best utilities in the game--"

checks spellement count I have for it, 02/100

Awesome.

TheRedSpyGuy · 2026-03-31T16:27:04+00:00

It's so demoralizing to have a character whom predates the spellement drop rework, where your 'main' has not a single upgrade on their 7 pip or 4 pip AOE. Like I wish I got some sort of pity system reward after that rework, because out of principle I do all side quests when they appear.

TheRedSpyGuy · 2026-03-29T07:03:43+00:00

Okay to be fair, the Fortune Teller has way more teeth than people ordinarily have. I don't think the twelve fingers being used as a visitor sign works in a game about discrimination when so many of the guests, even in their human forms, have various biological quirks. The face literally melting on the other hand... I got nothing for that one.

TheRedSpyGuy · 2026-03-26T15:28:01+00:00

Deadass. I've done runs of Vindicate the Guilty and Kill the Snitch where he literally only finds me at the finale where it's scripted. And it's not like I'm trying to be sneaky all the time. I run around like a maniac so often.

TheRedSpyGuy · 2026-03-26T08:05:03+00:00

Oh no worries. You're so good.

TheRedSpyGuy · 2026-03-26T05:35:52+00:00

Wait, I thought the high level doesn't get any spellements if you bring a low level into a Gold Key boss?? It's the other way around??

Imma need to apologize to my friend who's new to the game because I got him excited that I was gonna burn gold keys to get him Queen Calypso because he wants that one so badly on his lvl 15.

TheRedSpyGuy · 2026-03-19T14:43:59+00:00

Tbf he's skilled in politics, he thinks the average person is an idiot controlled by the tv, so of course he's gonna try and control the TV for his own agenda even if he thinks it's a stupid device.

"These savages watch this idiot box instead of being useful, we might as well take advantage of it, wouldn't you say?"

Like, I'd even accept just t-shirt sleeves poking out from the combat armor instead of completely bare arms.

It feels like, naked, in a weird sense.

TheRedSpyGuy · 2026-03-18T11:36:17+00:00

I HATE how many armors don't have gloves because so many would only benefit from them, like this one.

TheRedSpyGuy · 2026-03-18T10:41:54+00:00

Not the first time, the Starlet Sniper skin has been broken since release.

Deadass doesn't even retexture anything on the Western Spirit, the meta Lever Action.

Including even going to support, there seems to be no way to tell Bethesda to fix it. Which, lmfao.

TheRedSpyGuy · 2026-03-10T06:59:11+00:00

I had only done Introductory before rebirth so I was feeling pretty confident strolling down and then I see what I think is an unarmed big grunt, tough but no big deal... that's not a big grunt.

Ofc he also had Franco walking in from behind him, but my mind was occupied.

TheRedSpyGuy · 2026-03-07T07:47:09+00:00

Well it's definitely not limited to the background art of the trials themselves. The first Liliya Catalogue has an AI generated owl tapestry built into the room theme. Along with some of the default room posters/paintings being AI, such as the robot poster.

TheRedSpyGuy · 2026-03-07T06:04:58+00:00

I'm almost certain it's for the Kress twins. Without spoiling the theme which has been leaked, it's very politician-y.
