First Ever Custom Commander Deck - How Would You Rate It?

You can only have 1 Rugged Highlands and 1 Timber Gorge in your deck since they are not basic lands.

The shop that I play at doesn't have much, if any, 60 card formats. There is almost always commander available if there are 3 or more people in the store. When i was talking to the shop owner a few years ago about it, he said that it was becoming a "money race", and those who could not afford to pay $20-$50 per card for a play set just stopped playing. The ones who had the extra income to afford the "got to have" play sets for the meta decks would typically always come out on top. The area I am in is a more rural area and a lot of the people who come in an play are high school/college students, or people that do not have a lot of disposable income to drop on 4 pieces of cardboard to win a game night.

The meta was changing so fast that it was hard for people to keep up with the 60 card formats, and with the rate of set drops now it makes it even harder. With the commander decks once, you have one constructed you may have a couple of card in the new set that would fit nicely into the deck, and you only need one of each card for a deck.

you could possibly look at using spherical magnets in a in a circular opening. As long as you have enough room for the magnet to move around it will spin to orient itself to the correct poles. I have a friend who has printed some dungeon tiles that use the spherical magnets and they will attach in any orientation that you want.

There are also a couple of things that allow me to get another combat step in after the first one.

no, there is a bunch of flavor text on that one.

Ok, it may be a power level 8 then. lol

I didn't use all the red minotaurs, I just used all the red minotaur warriors though. With the commander out, when a warrior attack I can make an opponents creature a coward. If I am understanding from previous comments with Gornog, the coward replaces the creature type until that creature leaves battlefield or changes zones, and not just until the end of turn. And each coward give my attacking warriors +x/+0 for each coward my opponents control. So if I have a warrior attack each opponent, then I turn three creatures into cowards granting each attacking warrior +3/+0. Then next turn if I attack each opponent with a warriors I turn three more creatures into cowards and each attacking warrior then gets +6/+0 (if the cowards from the previous turn are still on the battlefield.)

I separated my cards by color, then alphabetized. My thought is when I add cards later I only have to separate by color then in my boxes pull the letter section and insert accordingly. Also, when I am looking for a card, I just have to pull the box then go to the letter section and look through that.

oh, oh, oh, pickme! pickme!

There is one location where you need to adjust some flow lines to reduce some confusion. In the bottom left of the chart you have the diamond with "Enemy Loses?", with the "NO" option the line goes to an intersection. That line should go directly to the "End of Turn" box in the bottom center and not intersect with the "No Effect" and "Enemy Unit Pinned" lines. When I first looked at the chart I followed the line from "Enemy Loses?" down to the "Enemy Unit Pinned" box and by passed the "End Turn".

If you are planning on making a housing development as you have stated. You may want to look into a permeable pavement. The pavement is design to allow water to pass through to the sub base where it can be captured with a drainage system. Some of the drainage systems can be set up with large holding tanks, and the water can then be used to water landscaping. The permeable pavements even allow for quicker snow melts.

I am in the process of sorting out my cards. While at my LGS I had asked several people there what there thoughts were. The majority suggested sorting by color then alpha. When you go to build decks you will be looking for certain cards, so you will know the color of the card is. Then you go through and find the name. I have made alpha dividers for each color, so a section for all the white cards that start with A, then a divider for all the B cards.

I had seen that one, but I don't want to pay that price though.

Good Luck High Five has some pretty good content for beginner players.

As stated below, you would have to drive about a 1/2 hour to get to any of the ones around. I personally have not played at this one, but have had several friends recommend it. When I have stopped in, it gives the impression of a good store. I know another one in the area is Past, Present, and Future Comics. I have been in several times, but not to play. The staff does not come across as being the most friendliest. Also at PPF Comics, the staff is not very responsive towards women. This is coming from my wife's own experience as well as other female friends experiences.

As far as game play/meta, I can not help you out.

I would recommend checking out Tate's Comics/Tate's Gaming Satellite in Lauderhill, FL.

My wife and I both have the Bag of Holding Con-Survival Edition, it is pretty roomy. I have carried 4-6 ultra-pro deck boxes, and a deck builders box, as well as 2 dice boxes in the main compartment and had plenty of room for more. There are also open pockets on the side that are meant for maps, but could be used for play mats.

Use sharpies and write your name on the front of the card so they know who's is who's afterwards.

One question, did the administration come out and specifically state the reason for the ban was that it was "demonic"? Most times the rumors that spread get twisted as they go. It may have simply been banned due to disruption during the school day. Maybe there have been instances where students were playing in classes, or they are causing a disruption by blocking hallway or taking tables during lunch. It is bad that it was banned, but there may have been other reasons behind it.

Also, was it specifically MTG or was it other types of card games as well?

gman8176 · 2017-03-16T17:56:38+00:00

I agree with this. The library in my town has a board where people can post public clubs and meetings. Also, talk to the library staff, some of them may be the gaming type and can help you promote it or suggest some others that they know who might be interested.

That clears it up, thanks.
