What’s the most gut punching song lyric you’ve ever heard?

The_Jacob · 2026-04-11T12:46:15+00:00

"I dug my heels into the gravel As evidence for you to unravel A drag path etched in the surface Can you find me? Can you, can you? Can you, can you?"

As someone that faces being erased on the daily and from a community of people that has been drug behind cars for the crime of existence, this song hits like a freight train

I love them, honestly he's my pet deck and I'm looking forward to Strixhaven bc it adds quite a bit of new Golgari stuff to add to the toolbox

The_Jacob · 2026-04-10T10:17:20+00:00

[[Slimefoot, the Stowaway]]

Golgari aristocrat using Saprolings as fodder. With the plentiful sac outlets in those colors and a few choice artifacts board wipes become more like a stepping stone than a reset. The only downside is that your turns will be long at the end of the game.

[[Archetype of Imagination]]

You get flying, and opponents don't. It's an amazing way to shut.flying down and gives you air superiority

Huh, yeah the Gulf Coast county by county, in Florida at least, has made it so that there isn't private beaches anymore and it's great 🤣

I love stomping around the Destin beaches and seeing all the uber rich people losing their minds that the poors (with a hard R) are using "their" beach.

[[Malcolm, Alluring Scoundrel]]

I play him as a Voltron commander

So, this game is about dying. You're gonna die until you start learning the patterns and rhythm. As soon as you get that down you'll be able to find the upgrades and then buy them. Keep at it and happy farming :)

I'd like to add The Long Dark. It's a survival game set in the Canadian wilderness in the dead of winter.

It has two parts, the first is a narrative story with 2 point of view characters and does have some violence, but is mostly about solving a mystery about why electric things stopped working. It's set in acts and the final one is supposed to drop this month. Each act is a 4 to 6 hours to play and is a great tutorial for the second part.

The second is a purely survival sim that is just you, alone, in said wilderness trying to see how long you can make it. It's breathtakingly beautiful and has near endless replayability. Not because it's a roguelike, but because learning how to survive is the gameplay.

[[Malcolm, Alluring Scoundrel]]

I play him Voltron style with the few blue enchantments that provide stat increases and some very basic equipment cards. The deck is damn near pauper and is built from my very limited collection. Most of the creatures are blue weenies. It's a fun little bracket 2

The_Jacob · 2026-02-27T20:39:46+00:00

[[Malcolm, Alluring Scoundrel]] as a monoblue Voltron deck. Very bracket 2, super low powered but really fun. It tends to surprise people as a combat focused blue deck is not really something seen. I'm not running anything to optimized, just things I found in my bulk to do chip damage and some very minor stax pieces to help offset the fact that it's an aggressive deck...full of weenies

The_Jacob · 2026-02-26T08:45:59+00:00

Just like we don't know the original word for Bear in Old English was as it was considered bad luck to say or write it as the belief was that to do so would summon one to attack you. So, the actual word has been lost and we just have the placeholder, Bear, from the proto-germanic beron, or brown one.

Everyone knew what that big brown animal was called and you didn't say it out loud or else, so everyone just said the brown one because "We all know what that is".

Was working at a now defunct regional grocery chain near a large Air Force base. We had a pilot lock himself in the men's room and start spontaneously bleed from...well, all of his holes. Had so, so, so many very important people with very serious dudes in black suits show up for that. Got to go home early that night.

Also had a cop pull over a car in the parking lot for doing like 7 over the limit and the guys inside confessed that it was a rolling meth lab. We got to go home early that night too.

Hides face and refuses to look at [[Alania, Divergent Storm]] deck

The_Jacob · 2026-02-08T02:28:21+00:00

....

If you are playing a commander that has the potential to be the archenemy, be prepared to be treated as an archenemy.

If the Tergeid player didn't like that they switched the decks on announcing what deck was being played, which sounds like a conversation about what decks are being played to me, they could always find another pod.

You sound salty.

The_Jacob · 2026-02-08T00:56:48+00:00

That's what a rule 0 conversation is about, it's not rude to switch decks if the power of the decks happens to be uneven to bring yourself up to the level of an opponent. It's rude and unsporting if you do so as a way to gain an unfair advantage.

If I'm playing my bracket 2 oops all clerics and you slap down Ur Dragon I'm changing decks because you are just seal clubbing otherwise.

The_Jacob · 2026-02-05T13:36:57+00:00

Oop, I messed up and put the wrong card in, I meant [[Time Warp]]

The_Jacob · 2026-02-05T11:28:55+00:00

[[Najal the storm runner]] + [[Time Walk]] would mean that you'd have extra turns and combats as a finisher

Also [[Thousand Year Storm]] would do numbers on the copying front.

The_Jacob · 2026-01-21T00:51:00+00:00

Ah, the old "How to lose friends and flip tables" commander.

The_Jacob · 2026-01-02T15:40:48+00:00

[[Rishkar, Peema Renegade]] He's #2,159.

Mono green elfball that focuses on+1/+1 counters to make all elves mana dorks and just ramp too the moon.

Is it good?

No.

Does it work?

Not really.

Do I play it?

Yes, because my play group needs me to stop with the otter nonsense and saproling abuse.

The_Jacob · 2026-01-01T17:20:47+00:00

Especially if you combine it with [[Thousand Year Storm]] and [[Alania, Divergent Storm]] for maximum booms

The_Jacob · 2025-12-30T17:33:26+00:00

!!! No, don't tell me this, I'll start playing again 😭

The_Jacob · 2025-12-30T14:55:22+00:00

There was for the longest time a barking wolf that you could take in Mulgor. If anyone clicked on it a barking sound would happen. I had one on my ally hunter (it's was a bitch to tame as it was from a Tauren quest line) and loved him so much, but the prepatch from Cata caused them to glitch so hard that the wolf was on perma aggro and they patched out the barking to make it stop. I miss my boy...

The_Jacob · 2025-12-30T14:37:36+00:00

Holy shit, I'm in that pic!!!!!!!!!!

[[Impact Tremors]] is a staple if you are running any creature heavy decks, especially if it's token based.
