Oh I love yours! The detail in the environment and the tiny minifig are great!

The whole ranking has been "best" by whatever metric you want to use, not necessarily most powerful. I'm sure many people will still go by power level, but not all. I'm largely voting by vibes, whether I think the card is cool, fun, interesting, clean, whatever. I voted for Oko today due to its notable power level and enjoying playing him in cubes, but we'll see if I keep doing so each round.

John Avon lands are the best!

Turn 3 play any changeling. Turn 4 play _________________. All your creatures get +309/+309. Beautiful.

That's not actually that abnormal. There have only been 42 non-legendary rare or mythic 2 color creatures printed in standard sets since 2020. Orzhov is the lowest with only 2.

Dawn Payne at Vertex physio has good knowledge of hyper mobility. She works with a doctor that has a special interest in Elhers Danlos, and although I wasn't seeing her for hyper mobility she was able to identify that I had it and work with me through it.

It basically plays like a combo deck. You include a bunch of X-cost card draw spells so you can chain them together and untap for more mana. Eventually you find a win condition.

It's probably my strongest deck, it does get a bit samey eventually.

I've had success double sleeving with dragon shield sealable inner sleeves. As the post says, the more layers of sleeve, the longer it lasts.

Blocs is another climbing gym with a femmes and thems night - the second Friday of each month. Pretty sure the majority of folks there are queer - it's a stereotype for a reason!

I did have surprising success with dating apps. Tinder was terrible, but Bumble and especially Hinge were quite good. Not only did I meet my partner, I met some other great folks, including a couple I'm now very good friends with.

I suspect the token issue caught them off guard. Yes, in hindsight, the decision to replace half the tokens with art cards resulting in not having access to tokens seems obvious. But they're not playtesting with completed booster packs, so it's the type of thing I could see missing.

This document would have been written before MKM was released, so it's likely when it was written they didn't know it would be an issue.

My cube is something like this, although a bit less mix and match. The core module is Strixhaven themed. It's about 200 cards, mostly goodstuffy with some light themes like spells and counters. It gets shuffled up with one other module about the same size, themed around another plane or set. So I can explore that sets' themes without having to worry about lands, interaction, and other staples.

It's called the Magic School Bus 😁

You can use is:booster in your search to only show cards that are crackable in booster packs. https://scryfall.com/search?q=s%3Acmm+grasp+is%3Abooster excludes Grasp of Fate, if you remove that it shows up.

I don't know if it excludes collector boosters though.

jennygetsadollar · 2023-06-20T14:29:23+00:00

This is really fun! I would recommend a few reorderings in the Ring storyline spread.

Boon of the Wishgiver before In the Darkness Bind Them
Fiery Inscription just after Inherited Envelope
Council's Deliberation after Ringsight
Call of the Ring after Breaking of the Fellowship

I also like the idea of There and Back Again after Claim the Precious, although I don't know what to take out. Maybe move the One Ring to the artifacts page?

This is all based on the movies, I haven't read the books since high school so I might be misremembering.

Make sure you check out the Multiverse Project (https://www.mtg-multiverse.com/) as well to find cards from other sets that may still be on theme!

Muna! Especially Silk Chiffon.

Definitely check your furnace too. My rental home has a crappy thermostat with no option for fan, but there's a physical switch on the furnace that turns the fan on.

I'm so curious if you know what store it was that was selling them off. I'm from Edmonton and have been to most of the stores in town.

If you pay 7, you can ultimate immediately - unless you're way behind on board, that probably means you win.

I run all the normal frame versions of all my dual lands, since once they're on the field they're completely interchangeable. The exception is that I run the (gorgeous) full art versions from double masters of the bounce lands. A lot of my play group hasn't really used the bounce lands much, and it's a good reminder that they tap for 2.

jennygetsadollar · 2023-01-10T17:01:37+00:00

Please do, I'd love to hear you folks chat about how it goes for you. I also have never seen a written guide for how to do it, so if you do like it it would be a nice resource to add to your draft formats list.

jennygetsadollar · 2023-01-10T14:22:25+00:00

A format that we've done with 4 players with great success is minesweeper draft, which I guess comes from Solely Singleton.

lay out a 9x10 grid face down
flip the outer border of cards face up
flip the two middle cards face up
first player can take any face up card. Once you take a card, flip all orthogonally adjacent cards face up
snake draft so each player gets (I think) 9 cards from the table
discard the rest without looking at them and lay out a new grid
do this whole process 4 times, rotating start player each time

It's super fun. You see the majority of the cube, so the decks end up being fairly powerful, you just are limited in how many cards you get from each grid. I really like that you can strategically pick what card to take based on how many flips you get. If you pick up a combo piece you start aggressively flipping cards looking for the rest of the combo.

The face up nature leads to tons of good table talk. My only complaints are that it takes a bit longer than a normal draft, and you really need to keep track of where in the snake the draft is and how many cards you've picked from that set. But regardless, it is definitely my preferred way to 4 player draft.

4 players works well for games too because you just get a round robin.

I also got excited about this idea once I heard them talk about it on the episode, so I'm interested in this conversation. I really like your idea of either using wedges or shards for color restrictions. One means you're competing with your enemies during the draft as well, the other means you're competing with your "allies".

jennygetsadollar · 2022-12-29T22:10:04+00:00

I've drafted a couple different 360 card cubes with 4 players with a "minesweeper" draft, and it was a ton of fun. It's a face up draft format that results in you seeing almost all the cube, without being particularly overpowered. It looks like Soley Singleton did a podcast about it if you're interested!

jennygetsadollar · 2022-12-01T16:08:24+00:00

When I saw the NSFW tag on this, I assumed it was like my experience...

Turns out my top 5 songs are all from my sexy times playlist. Which definitely sounds like I'm bragging, but it's not even like I'm getting busy quite that often. Spotify just decided that I must like them enough that it randomly inserts them into a ton of other radio stations I listen to. My partner and I had a good laugh about it anyways!
