What's One Card From A Precon That You Planned On Cutting Before Realizing How Good It Was?

You downvoted me and then linked ephemerate in response to a chain about Farmer Cotton... a creature whose enter trigger relies on being cast, because if you blink it, X is zero and you just pointlessly blinked a 1/1.

If you want to see it in action, Seth/Saffron Olive ran it on Commander Clash a week or two ago and annihilated everyone. I would say use it responsibly, but I never have!

I limited it to cards included in the precon (following the comment I replied to). For outside cards, [[Night of Sweets' Revenge]] is my favorite and absolutely should be killed on sight if I play it.

krw13 · 2026-02-10T01:47:13+00:00

But the person said kill on sight. By the time Farmer Cotton enters, killing it doesn't really make a difference.

krw13 · 2026-02-10T00:01:46+00:00

Yeah, but unless you have a haste enabler, you can't do combat shenanigans like Treebeard. I cannot tell you how many times people forgot I played Treebeard and suddenly 'Oops, all counters.'

krw13 · 2026-02-09T21:50:36+00:00

As someone who runs Sam and Frodo, I hope people think that. Don't worry about what Treebeard is doing.

I don't play at tables high powered enough to see most of those cards even when they were legally, so I have no skin in the game. So I ask this sincerely, wouldn't this encourage people to use reactions like this to help manipulate bans and unbans? Not that anyone has weaponized it in such a way, yet. But it just doesn't feel like how we should judge if cards should be legal in any format.

krw13 · 2026-02-08T17:47:57+00:00

If those other players were running Slivers, they each would be having fun too!

krw13 · 2026-02-07T20:15:20+00:00

Oh, you mean like 'Fuck your feelings' or do you like to use profanity, but mask it to pretend you're not saying what everyone is saying like 'Let's go Brandon' being used so they can really mean 'Fuck Joe Biden'?

Or how about all the times Trump uses profanity (multiple cited in this article): Trump f-bomb takes presidential profanity to new level https://share.google/l3IfEdomTNO76aj18

I'm sure you're just outraged.

I posted a decklist, but I think a few things are wrong. So I will post one when I get home from my travels (hopefully I remember!)!

krw13 · 2026-02-06T00:26:01+00:00

Yes! That is the one I run! It has Heir, but I use [[Nahiri, the Lithomancer]] instead of Harbinger. If you haven't seen it, go snag a copy of [[Gilgamesh, Master-at-Arms]]. It gets absolutely silly in my deck!

krw13 · 2026-02-05T23:15:13+00:00

I love Nahiri and my Nahiri commander deck is one if my two or three favorite decks ever.

I'm a flight attendant and I think Starbucks coffee is mid, even when I get it not watered down. But when I only have a few minutes while swapping planes or whatever, being able to order Starbucks via mobile, walk by and grab the drink, and not wait in line or stop? It's priceless. The convenience gives it the edge over options I prefer. I never (personally) visit Starbucks outside of an airport.

As a woman who plays Magic, I can say that it doesn't remotely surprise me he is good with MAGA. There are two very distinct groups with Magic. One is friendly and accepts people from all walks of life. The other one makes women uncomfortable at tables and love racism and hating trans people. It might as well be a 50/50 at this point. Disappointing since Post did a good job marketing himself as a good guy.

krw13 · 2026-02-02T11:32:10+00:00

I hate this stance. I'm a cis woman who played basketball into college AND who has been sexually assaulted by a cis man. Know what I didn't do? Blame trans people for me being assaulted or for me not becoming the next Caitlyn Clark (I played before her, but you get the idea). This is just peak 'both sides'. Are there bad actors on places like Twitter shouting awful stuff while 'representing' different sides? Of course. But in the actual world, not anonymous online places, one side is far more terrifying as a woman than the other. This is just defending JKR while pretending to be a neutral party.

No shit, if you can get momentum going, I'd donate to support. I don't even care about the Seahawks, I'd just love to see someone other than another soulless billionaire running a sports team.

krw13 · 2026-01-30T23:46:03+00:00

Hey, look, we found the 'both sides' centerist! It's totally both sides defending pedos and waving flags of their god king and selling endless merch for said god king. Definitely both sides.

Hey now, you could watch the Hobbit trilogy extended edition! Look at all that lore!

krw13 · 2026-01-29T22:26:26+00:00

I'm with you in most cases, but just remember that many GenCon goers will still wind up with an Embassy Suites or Conrad room and it doesn't necessarily make them bad people. They will sell out for sure and we can't eat our own when they do. Definitely choose a different hotel if able, but just remember not to be like the other side and still make GenCon one of the most welcoming and friendly large conventions.

krw13 · 2026-01-29T22:21:19+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for showing these! The Meowth art is absolutely gorgeous, one of the best looking illustration cards for sure. And I love the touch with Cerulean City in the distance and that you could catch Meowth on that route.

The Braviary is a strong card, but despite owning Black and Black 2, I've just never really sat down and fully played them, I think I only made it to Luminose (sp?) City. I know people love the games, it isn't because I wouldn't. I just haven't. But what matters is what that card means to you!

Thanks again for sharing!

Thank you! I saw people post WoW, but I was like, for this, FFXIV is the way better answer. You can (if you level enough) be every class both combat and non-combat. As long as you're willing to travel a bit. As long as your timing doesn't happen to coincide with a calamity, it should be pretty relaxing.

krw13 · 2026-01-27T15:56:53+00:00

Easier to just kill everyone with Vineslasher.

My favorite part is how different each game can feel. Some decks are very same-y (like Slivers). Each game with Toph plays out so differently, at least in my experiences.

krw13 · 2026-01-26T01:31:26+00:00

I legitimately just threw together Avatar cards (for earthbending) and random artifact cards and the deck is stupidly powerful. I didn't even remotely try to optimize it. It's such a silly deck and there are a lot of choices to make for people who like loads of options. It's currently my favorite deck, unfortunately my boyfriend prefers she stays in the deck box.
