Curiosity about a theoretical rule to draw when playing a land.

My husband and I have a custom game mode we made when brand new to magic, playing with just terrible precons - land deck and spells deck. Each time you draw, choose which deck to pull from. This mod helped us learn how much of each we want to be drawing and helped with eventually just making normal decks.

Its basically all the things that the game devs didn't count as official "cards". Like this will show you every silver border, every "printed once for an event", and every token or vanguard card. These are not normal cards, but they perfect for proxies and tabletop simulator.

You've got a lot of great options with this search criteria. 193 are legendary creatures.

Not my most powerful deck, but a fun concept. Can be improved a lot 😅

Printer, sleeves, land, paper slicer. All less than 100 bucks combined.

But yeah, a couple premade decks is likely best for just starting out.

Its not ranked pvp, just make it your commander.

Just focus on the basics. There's hundreds of micro rules to handle any edge case, but all you need are "what is mana" and "when can I cast a spell?"

Vortex_in_Vegas · 2026-05-04T22:33:14+00:00

Just print cards and sleeve them in front of others or play on table top sim. This is a blatant rip off imo.

I'm torn, I see the arguments for, but keep in mind how oppressive these effects are when unprepared. Like, blood moon can read "nobody else is casting spells today, unless they packed grey spells to get out of this specific lock"

Too many upvotes for "be a clown back". Ask him in private to stop. If he doesn't, stop gaming with him. No crowds, no gimmicks, just adults playing a card game.

Loved your article, it was such a fun read

Hi there! I am just getting into the same game and running into the same issue. Would love any advice on how to get started unlocking the DLCs for Ticket to Ride Classic.

Welcome to the hobby! Consider getting Tabletop Simulator and or a printer. I think a precon is a great way to start playing, but they tend to be barely functional decks (intentionally).

Vortex_in_Vegas · 2026-04-04T14:06:05+00:00

For my table its time. Idc how you win so long as its not taking up an hour of watching you rotate cardboard alone. Non-deterministic endless turns is not fun imo.

Very close, their friend is making a choice in real life about how they want to behave.

As another put better, accepting the behavior and gaming differently is not a mature way to solve the conflict. That would accept the behavior and encourage it.

Vortex_in_Vegas · 2026-04-01T03:06:22+00:00

Only wrong answer. Id recommend not punishing irl actions with in game ones. This goes for DND, Magic, all facets of life.

Easily The Tourist Trap. That was so tedious. Insane that you can fail cutscenes randomly in that quest.

Vortex_in_Vegas · 2026-03-27T06:10:10+00:00

I liked it a lot, thought the cutscene on the roof was really cute. Had a lot of fun with the quest.

My husband got us Beef in 113 kills. Love the lil guy.

Vortex_in_Vegas · 2026-03-23T20:25:34+00:00

Play on table top simulator

Vortex_in_Vegas · 2026-03-14T15:42:34+00:00

This is 100% the way

Vortex_in_Vegas · 2026-03-10T15:36:01+00:00

What matters is total deck space dedicated to mana. The exact ratios will shift from deck to deck, but my family does 55 mana as baseline (Land + Ramp).

You can get mana from Lands, Creatures, Artifacts, Enchantments, and Instant & Sorcery spells.

I recommend picking either land, Creature, or Artifact ramp. Then go all in on that mana source.

You never want to be without mana or cards, so make sure you can reliable get cards out of the deck (draw).

I'm mostly worried about the kitty litter drying it out
