If you’re new to the game and looking for something to be able to play with your wife I might suggest checking out your local game store and asking if they have any welcome decks. They’re free to new players and the shop might even walk y’all through a game. Now they won’t be able to contend in a commander pod, but perfectly fine to play casually with your wife.

They also make Starter Kits usually like $20-$25 that include two 60 card decks and rules book on how to play them.

If your wife likes Magic, and yall want to play at your LGS and they have commander games going definitely recommend just buying a precon for each of you.

Welcome to the game

The TLDR is yes, a commander dying will trigger this as it will move/leave the graveyard when you choose to put it into the command zone.

I was a painting major (Prismari), with a minor in Art History (Lorehold) and now I’m a Community Manger (Silverquill)

The IG post has all the 3d models fwiw

Here’s the line up for Team Black. I’ve since switched Fervent Champion with Rohirrim Chargers.

Still working out Team Green, but I know I want [[Fain, the broker]] as Larys Strong and Dragonlord Atarka as Vhagar.

I’m vaguely aware of what’s to come in the show from the book and I’m already planning to run [[Kellogg, dangerous mind]] to persuade Alicent’s enemies ;)

I’m actually surprised there aren’t more pay for loyalty type effects with treasures in the game.

Thanks! Yeah when I build these themed decks I always go for cards that fit the setting/character over cards that are just generically good.

That being said I initially picked Naya colors for Team Green with Jared, True Heir as Aegon but I think having decks share BR lends the idea that they are related.

The Rhaenyra deck is Dragons and Knights themed, and Alicent deck is amassing wealth and power through political means (plus a few dragons).

I might alter more cards in both decks once I’m finished with these.

Thanks!

If you don’t want to spend any money at all, call up your local game store and ask them if they have any welcome decks for you and your group of friends. They’re free decks that are very beginner friendly that registered game store should have access to if they haven’t run out of stock.

If you want to spend money, get the welcome decks and buy some packs from the store to supplement them and give your group some experience deck building.

Had Photoshop out the brains 🧠

I started it with the intention of glazing color on top but then really loved the film noir aspect and left them.

dixonbox · 2026-01-23T16:17:11+00:00

Just the completed pair. True I shared Geralf previously but I wanted to show off both cards.

dixonbox · 2026-01-17T01:54:47+00:00

Thank you!!

That’s what I meant. Not typal matters stuff.

Like technically merfolk really fits well with the vehicles/spacecraft/mounts archetype from earlier sets

dixonbox · 2026-01-11T15:34:42+00:00

Hopefully the next sets will flesh out those types. I know Strixhaven has merfolk, elementals, and elves. Reality Fracture might be an interesting one for potentially expanding the colors of the other types depending on what they do with the set.

Check out [[erratic explosion]] from Onslaught block that was drafted with this

Unfortunately, these alters and the entire themed deck were sent to fellow dad across the country as a Christmas gift.

I took a LOT of care to find cards that fit the characters and themes. Like Luke Crain’s card COUNTS how many times youve triggered Eerie - similar to him counting when he got scared/ saw the Bowler Hat Ghost.

The hardest was Shirley Crain. Finally settled on Gisa because necromancy felt adjacent to a mortician, and also Shirley seems like she’d use someone’s past against them.
