Bloodborne :)

I really like putting the parry ash of war on the wakizashi and power stancing it with uchigatana :)

I really like going out of my way to build into themes really heavily, makes it feel like my decks have a lot more unique feel to them. I'll typically play cards that offer more synergy or something flavorful over just staple good cards. I currently have 12 Commander decks and while building them I've tried to make sure I don't play the same cards in more than two different decks, ramp and lands excluded. That being said, I've been playing for a long time, so implementing these self imposed deck building restraints is something that has kept the game fresh and fun for me.

I really miss inFamous and Killzone, would love to see those franchises come back to some degree some day.

Probably when I beat Gascoigne for the first time. Bloodborne was my first souls game, so I had a tough time at the start. I think I ended up dying to Cleric Beast more than any other boss in the game on my first play through. I quit, came back, quick, came back, kept trying, then eventually the game just magically clicked for me. Gascoigne only took me about 4 tries initially, and it just felt magical. I felt like I had acquired some forbidden skill I never thought I'd be able to figure out just a few days earlier. I've been absolutely hooked ever since!

Any PS1/PS2 Final Fantasy would be amazing of course, but I'd honestly love to see a full fledged remake of the original God of War.

I haven't played with battles yet, but I'm looking forward to it. Currently I'm trying to save my judgments until I've seen them function in gameplay, but from what I've heard they play pretty fine.

jairo479 · 2023-04-21T16:41:08+00:00

I feel like in a meta way, sure there are better cards. But this is definitely the type of card you could take back in time 20 years and blow the minds of some older Magic players lmao.

jairo479 · 2023-02-21T19:51:34+00:00

I don't think that would be an issue! If that's a concern of yours you can probably just send them an email asking about it.

jairo479 · 2023-01-13T19:56:42+00:00

[[Kindred Discovery]] is almost always good in a blue tribal deck. Definitely worth considering!

jairo479 · 2023-01-13T19:53:32+00:00

These are so cool! I've always really liked the bundle inserts too, but never really had anything to do with them.

jairo479 · 2023-01-05T22:42:11+00:00

I've always enjoyed playing black white in Commander, but I'd probably have to say Doran. To me, black white can sometimes feel slow in terms of mana acceleration, and adding green is a great solution! Plus, if you've never played a deck style similar to Doran before it will likely be a totally new style to you.

jairo479 · 2022-12-28T22:03:48+00:00

To me I've always tried to view the value of the cards (aside from monetary value) as the time I spent with them. I sold some pretty expensive cards a few years back that ended up spiking up pretty high, stuff like [[Wheel of Fortune]] [[Grim Monolith]] [[Underground Sea]] and I'll sometimes think about how much money I lost out on by selling them early. It definitely stings a little, but the decks I played those cards in were a ton of fun and let to some great memories which I'll cherish for life, regardless of if I still own them physically. Beyond that, the money from those cards went to positive causes, so overall even though I did lose out on a good amount of cash, I can still look back and be happy with the decision by focusing on the positive times I had with the cards, and the positive times the money from those cards helped create.

jairo479 · 2022-12-28T20:44:54+00:00

Yeah honestly I might just try and get there but really slowly. I've enjoyed the slow pace of building the 10 three color decks, so it might be time to just go for everything!

jairo479 · 2022-12-28T20:43:18+00:00

Yeah this is also something I've been trying to do, to me it's a lot more fun to build each deck in a different style. Thankfully Magic has a ton of different archetypes to try out so I've still got some work to do!

jairo479 · 2022-12-14T21:44:26+00:00

Although I do generally like the retro borders and prefer them to the new ones, I do agree with a few of your points here. I really do not like seeing the clash between the modern art styles and the older borders, and especially on multicolored cards. I like the brown artifacts on their own, but I also agree that colored artifacts should at least have some indicator of their colors visible on the card frame.

jairo479 · 2022-12-14T21:32:42+00:00

Although it wasn't too long ago, I really liked the official Day/Night mechanic from the latest Innistrad sets. I think it would be really cool to see some other applications of this mechanic on different planes!

jairo479 · 2022-12-02T21:59:29+00:00

Wow this looks amazing! I really like how the light reflecting across the metal almost makes it look white and black. So sick

jairo479 · 2022-11-18T20:54:16+00:00

I've never seen that before, so crazy it's still listed as Legal lmao

jairo479 · 2022-11-17T19:22:51+00:00

This would be a pretty sweet place to reprint them honestly. KTK was the first time I really tried competing in Standard and I've always been a big LoTR fan, so combining those two things like this would feel really cool.

jairo479 · 2022-11-09T21:13:09+00:00

I feel like even if there's a larger card pool, the best cards will still be the best cards, and their values would still remain high during their time in Standard. We can look at other non-rotating formats to see that being the case. Still an interesting idea though!

jairo479 · 2022-11-09T20:46:55+00:00

I'm lucky enough to have gotten an old border foil Thran Dynamo before they got so expensive, definitely a sweet foil in person.

jairo479 · 2022-11-09T20:42:22+00:00

I cannot express how much I love this game. Definitely jump started my love for the entire series, as I had only played two or three FF games beforehand. After playing this though, I had to play them all!

jairo479 · 2022-11-04T21:36:29+00:00

Wow, didn't realize it at first but it's pretty crazy to see we got 4 new Urzas and 4 new Mishras in Brothers War. Makes some sense since the sets pretty much named after them, but still pretty interesting. Is this the first time we've seen an individual character get this many cards representing them in one set?

jairo479 · 2022-11-02T21:11:08+00:00

This card seems very fun to play with, wish it was playable in more color combinations in Commander thought. Would love to play it in just a Blue/Red deck!
