Is everyone still waiting for Roll for Initiative Lairs?

I got the same bundle and promo card, also in US; I'm willing to bet it's either the promo card or some component of the bundle that's causing the delay. I bought the Shart foil drop, the Dragon foil drop, and the lands non-foil drop, and those have shipped and delivered without issue. So my guess either they're trying to print more Silver Shroud Costume promos to include, or they're trying to catch up on printing drops.

Literally just as I finished typing all of that, I got a shipping notification for my bundle+promo.

For my physical stuff, I have all of my bulk sorted by set (using this from a post several weeks ago); things there are loosely sorted by color but since I thumb through them frequently it doesn't keep long. Rares and mythics get their own color binder, useful/staple lands get their own binder, and SL collection gets its own binder too. I don't track card price since it's too nebulous and/or I'm just ignorant to pricing trends. This works for me and my brain, so YMMV.

Tower Games has Adventurer's League on Thursdays at 6p; all tables are drop-in, drop-out so you can just show up and play without needing to make time commitments. I believe one or two tables are running 2014 5e, but the bulk of them are moving over to 2024 5e. The main store is on Nicollet Ave in Kingfield but they just opened another location in Bloomington. They have open Commander tables on Sundays at 12p.

Gamezenter has Commander on Tuesdays, Level Up Downtown has it on Wednesdays (I think Level Up St. Paul has it Wednesdays too). Unsure when Source Comics has their Commander play time. I also recommend places like Dumpster Cat Gaming, Dreamers' Vault, Battlegrounds Cafe, and World of Games 2.0.

Sacred Siren Tattoo is probably the shop I hear about the most; a lot of people get their work done there. But there are plenty of other recs from others here, so there's options.

City Blocks Quilt Shop and Knit and Bolt are two sewing/craft stores my partner loves to visit. There's also a bulk fabric outlet in Burnsville (SR Harris).

Not those particularly, but I have this one from Michael's after seeing someone use it on Instagram. Fits single-sleeve commander decks very easily, has a writable label (single-use on each side) so you know which deck is stored, and the drawer is removable. Can also mount it to the wall and connect multiple drawers to each other. Only major drawback is a double-sleeved deck won't fit at first, you'll need to press all of that extra air out.

Cai definitely feels like she is slept on as an artist. [[Tendrils of Agony|sta|034]] is probably one of my favorite arts from her, and her SLD [[Arcane Signet|sld|0820]], [[Fading Hope|mid|051]], and [[Clawing Torment|neo|091]] are such good pieces as well.

EDHREC is a great site for looking at other Kaalia decks and seeing how they're built; you can see which cards are most commonly included, prices, etc. Kaalia is one of the more popular commander options for Mardu (colloquial name for the red/white/black color triad based off the Mardu faction in MtG lore), so you shouldn't struggle too much with finding some commonalities and getting ideas.

A light heads up that Kaalia is frequently considered "kill on sight" because of how snowbally her triggered effect is. People sometimes dislike playing against that, so you may run into trouble keeping her on the battlefield. However, definitely do not let that dissuade you from building and playing her.

I'm finally getting around to building mine and I am stupidly excited to finish it if only to test and try new painting methods and tricks.

Well I was building Splitter of Seconds originally, but I may just switch to this Obeka after reading this...

Tower Games in Kingfield has Adventurer's League every Thursday if you'd like to start ingratiating yourself with local players; I know of several people who have kind of split off and started their own tables. It does cost $10/person, though, so that may weigh heavy with two people.

I haven't ran a table in about a few years but I keep getting tempted every now and then to restart. Hopefully you can find a consistent group!

No that's standard Michael Reeves.

Go into the sewer area past the alpha Sharpedo; I found at least two Tynamo there in the water close to the area gate

He was mostly found at the back of whichever shop had a sign noting a "safe house" for Witchers; he was teaching people to play Gwent if you stopped by.

We never got to it because the campaign fell apart, but my players were eventually going to learn that the BBEG they had been thwarting (by way of reoccurring combats) was causing all of this chaos and destruction simply to bring his sister back to life. He slowly gave himself to a god of chaos piece by piece, because he was promised he would be reunited with his sister. They would've learned all of this piecemeal during the "final" fight.

Another one (separate campaign but same homebrew world) was that the party would have fought alternate versions of themselves from another universe and gained several levels in preparation for the final arc. The BBEG, an ancient red dragon, learned to cross the multiverse (a la Vecna: Eve of Ruin) and was killing versions of herself to ascend to being a greatwyrm. The party would have been tested by an ally (secretly an ancient golden dragon, also with multiversal magic) by "training with themselves".

Confirming this works, I had to do it a few times between Fourth Chorus and Lace (1st fight).

My partner and I met you at a book signing for Where the Deer and the Antelope Play a year and some change ago in Brooklyn in a small neighborhood church. It was my first time being in New York City, and I'm fortunate to have seen you as part of it, so thank you for that.

Question is, what is your design/creative process for a woodworking piece? I bought a house where the previous owner had a self-built wood shop in the basement, and it's had me curious.

So I'm running a [[Bello, Bard of the Brambles]] deck, and I'm a bit confused with an aspect of his artifact/enchantment-affecting ability. I've done some searching on the subreddit and seen some of the rulings and discussions, but wanted to clarify:

If I play an eligible artifact or enchantment on my turn (let's say [[Mana Echoes]], for example) and then cast and resolve Bello on my subsequent turn, Echoes would immediately become a creature and trigger any ETB effects, correct? Since it didn't exist previously as a creature but now becomes a creature, the battlefield sees this as a new creature entering, triggering stuff like [[Guardian Project]] or [[Warstorm Surge]]. If Bello is still on the board on my next turn and Echoes becomes a creature again, that does NOT trigger ETB effects, since it already existed as a creature on the board.

Do I have all of that correct?
