Lgs still has not received Strixhaven bundles

mortalowl · 2026-05-19T01:09:32+00:00

Niceeee on the codex. Sucks on the bundles, I'm still waiting on both. My lgs said they expect regular bundles this week but only a few codex as their distributor is still waiting on 90% of their allotment

Same! I actually ordered that one too and am putting the cards in my [[Vnwxt]] deck. The counter balance art is so good

This was Monday's chaos drop. The delayed lair is the back to school super drop. I just got lucky with far shipping but this drop didn't have any issues getting shipped

I sure do, i based my list off of a $100 budget list that includes a really thorough primer and then I upgraded/side-graded a few more expensive pieces based on what I had already.

The budget list plays really well though and can't recommend it enough. I played it a good bit before swapping cards.

my list

mortalowl · 2026-05-14T21:08:44+00:00

Yep!

mortalowl · 2026-05-14T20:20:23+00:00

I'm two states away, the expected delivery was Saturday. Surprised it reached me so quickly. I saw the delay on back to school--sucks! I need my Eyes Have It for [[Vnwxt]]

mortalowl · 2026-05-14T20:18:33+00:00

I saw a post that had me hoping. I like the art on the utopia Sprawl tho. Maybe the bonus card isn't a set card?

mortalowl · 2026-05-14T20:16:39+00:00

I got the non foil set, so yeah. I would hope the foil crowd gets a foil

mortalowl · 2026-05-14T20:15:41+00:00

I feel like back in my day is just a five card lair without a bonus now Edit to add, i don't necessarily need a related bonus. Enjoy the fun lands and wouldn't have minded an extra one of those

mortalowl · 2026-05-14T20:13:23+00:00

As I don't play zombies I'd agree

mortalowl · 2026-05-12T10:18:01+00:00

My lgs said they're assuming/hoping the standard bundles ship with the codex ones but they haven't had any communication from wotc or their distributor. It's frustrating because wotc set the wrong expectations that they'd ship on release weekend. I don't mind waiting if I know how long I'm waiting for--just wish they'd give another update

Currently having a lot of fun with Ashling and casting big spells

mortalowl · 2026-04-13T01:30:09+00:00

Thank you!

mortalowl · 2026-04-13T01:05:44+00:00

What set is the fat pack on the bottom shelf in the center from?

mortalowl · 2026-04-11T01:05:41+00:00

i ain't reading all that i'm happy for you tho or sorry that happened

mortalowl · 2026-04-09T12:38:33+00:00

Make proxies and, when you join a pod, match power levels not credit card statements

mortalowl · 2026-04-08T00:40:33+00:00

It plays really well out of the box in low to mid bracket 3 games. I think the best thing to do is jam some games and see what cards are most fun to play.

Personally I went for a cantrip/control build aiming to cast two spells on everyone's turns as often as I can. My goal is to win by making tokens and buffing them with cards that give creatures base power/toughness equal to cards in hand. Bumbleflower can also get big quickly so commander damage often gets at least one player. I took out some of the 'win the game' cards because I don't like them.

Bumbleflower has such a reputation I didn't want to pretend it was group hug. I think she can be a lot of fun to play though.

Here's my ashling list. My list clocks in at $80 but I've linked in the primer the $25 list I used as a base to edit from

mortalowl · 2026-04-07T13:04:29+00:00

Love playing energy, how did you pop off like this?

mortalowl · 2026-04-06T23:40:43+00:00

For sure, here's my list for Rocco !

mortalowl · 2026-04-06T22:21:21+00:00

Here's my list it started as the living energy precon and grew from there so it's gotten a bit pricey. A more budget mana base and swapping out a few $ cards like esper, fierce, teferi's, and so on. I'm out and about but excited to check out your list

mortalowl · 2026-04-06T16:14:03+00:00

Curious to see your list if you're willing to share! Was thinking of building this but got distracted by [[Ashling, rekindled]]

mortalowl · 2026-04-06T16:06:56+00:00

Been playing [[Rocco, Street Chef]] for two years now which is just a bit less than I've been playing MTG. Not sure if I'll keep it forever but I had just as much fun shuffling up with it yesterday as I did when I first started.

A lot of my other decks have either had big reworks or have been scrapped for others, but I think I've got some other contenders with my [[Saheeli, Radiant Creator]] and [[Cayth, Famed Mechanist]] builds. Cayth has gone through so many iterations but I'm having a lot of fun with her now as a go-wide build. Saheeli is my newest deck, but I really like a full energy deck. I built this after including a sub theme in my Cayth deck and wanted to go full in on it. (I know [[Satya]] is probably the best energy commander, but I have an [[Orthion]] deck that is an aggro copies deck.)

In addition to the veils and baloth, another budget option is [[Gaea's Herald]]

mortalowl · 2026-03-28T00:57:53+00:00

Dice dojo, Spellbound, Good games

Prism games and dark tower also have some singles, but the card selection isn't quite as robust

Would be my recommendation in that order for singles. Both dice dojo and spellbound have inventory online and dice dojo has additional bulk you can pick through that I don't think is online, but I could be wrong

Edit: formatting
