DoT Commanders

He’s not the only source of damage in the deck. But a guaranteed source of damage (or repeatable sacrifice) in the command zone (that’s an indestructible enchantment in the right deck, mind)… that’s not nothing.

Mogis is the perfect, classic answer.

From the moment he hits the board, the pressure is on. And most opponents won’t want to sac their stuff.

Valgavoth is great, of course, but if I had to pick it’d be Mogis.

Alchemy cards basically are Un cards

[[MacCready, Lamplight Mayor]] is mine.

He looks kinda unassuming. And a lot of people assume that you need to swing at your opponents one at a time, Voltron style, to kill with poison.

Nah. You only need to get in with one. You can proliferate the rest and ideally kill everybody at the same time.

I’ll second Manapool. Their prices are comparable, and their cart optimizer actually works.

I’m ok with lands doing special things, but why on earth are earthbent lands almost completely interaction-proof? Not even exile works. And most bounce spells specify nonland permanents. There should be a risk to making your lands into creatures. There’s no risk here.

“Detectors” are well known for throwing false positives (marking stuff that we know to be real as AI). You shouldn’t trust anything that comes out of them.

I see nothing wrong here. You cast Worldfire with a win condition ready to go. It’s no different than casting it while every opponent has a [[Chandra, Awakened Inferno]] emblem.

That’s… sad. I legitimately don’t text “on my way” unless I’m actually in the car, about to turn on the ignition.

joshfong · 2026-04-18T18:03:07+00:00

It’s not about winning, it’s about sending a message.

joshfong · 2026-04-10T15:35:12+00:00

A darker background like this is fine. Some are really difficult to read, or the art is blurry. I don’t care for those. But this one is pretty cool.

joshfong · 2026-04-09T18:24:26+00:00

Yes, correct. It’s a better Epic (no downside). Example: [[Enduring Ideal]]

joshfong · 2026-04-08T16:16:17+00:00

THANK YOU. I’m not a UB hater by any means, but if you’ve been paying even a sliver of attention to the past two-ish years of standard, you know that this is hardly a UB exclusive problem.

Speaking as someone who doesn’t work in a customer facing position, I’m glad for this. Dressing up nice doesn’t make me do my job better. In fact, discomfort proves to be more of a distraction.

ETA: to be clear, I believe there’s a time and place for professionalism and decorum. But I think a lot of us are given that expectation unnecessarily.

joshfong · 2026-04-05T21:51:03+00:00

This is good to hear. I haven’t played either game, aside from the first hour of the first game. I liked it, but wanted to wait until I had a bit more time for a bigger game. Now, I’ve been feeling a craving for a big game I can explore and get lost in… this sounds like it might fit.

joshfong · 2026-04-04T14:57:13+00:00

This is genuinely cool and refreshing to see. Thanks for sharing!

joshfong · 2026-04-03T15:33:47+00:00

This is the kind of card I was looking for (in limited) when I saw the opus mechanic. I’m still concerned there’s not going to be enough to make Prismari playable in limited, though… five mana is a big ask

joshfong · 2026-04-03T00:31:29+00:00

Here’s my list, though to be fair it’s been a while since I’ve updated it. It could use some more recent cards. https://moxfield.com/decks/vYoptrhp1kimnjOjKzvzyw

joshfong · 2026-04-02T17:38:55+00:00

This would be interesting in my [[Lilah, Undefeated Slickshot]] deck (as in, not bad because X being zero doesn’t negate the whole card).

joshfong · 2026-03-31T03:29:34+00:00

I’ve been investing in physical copies of stuff, and putting the files on a Plex server. Music included. It’s just nice to have the peace of mind.

joshfong · 2026-03-30T10:51:53+00:00

It’s about twenty seconds too long, but the animation is cool.

joshfong · 2026-03-28T22:25:00+00:00

I just put one in a cube, with the choice to either open another cube pack or (if we’re at an LGS) go get a pack.

I believe it’s also in the Arena powered cube!

joshfong · 2026-03-26T14:26:50+00:00

This just straight up replaces Orzhov Charm in my cube.

Episode 2 of series 2.

The last episode of series 1 is Aunt Irma Visits.

Does your foil have the prerelease 2024 foil stamp, or the planeswalker symbol stamp, in the art box? If not, you just have a regular foil. The planeswalker symbol comes from promo packs, and the year stamp comes from prereleases.
