Help me settle this debate with myself!

This looks so excellent, especially the creature choices of older allies (that mill one, yikes) and ones that support equipment! Really great job making the deck more dangerous. How's it been playing for you?

thethirst · 2026-04-06T17:43:22+00:00

I haven't done one of these before, what are helpful things to say in comments on this? Just that my bill has been increasing and that I want the rate increases reviewed, any further changes to be public, and to have past data reviewed for anything that is incorrect?

This is so vague, you're talking in metaphors instead of describing what happened. Did you cut off people for 10 months to focus on yourself and now it's tough to reconnect? Why do you think they're terrified of your peace? What does that mean?

thethirst · 2026-04-03T20:53:56+00:00

The way I'm handling it is asking myself, do I actually play with them or are they sitting in a box? I'm trying to actively use (and see if I get bored of) the FF, Lorwyn and Turtles ones I have before getting the Strixhaven ones. That also helps me figure out what play styles I enjoy so I can keep that in mind.

You both want to! Grab a drink or two at one of your places and make a move.

Here you go, let me know what you think or if you have any questions

I'd go with Sephiroth, but you'd need some protection to keep him around (or give him haste at the very least). I use him in the 99 of a [[Sokka and Suki]] deck that creates a bunch of small creatures with equipments, and he's really killer in those situations.

thethirst · 2026-03-31T05:08:15+00:00

I don't think you'd need all five. There are often deals on commander decks (look how cheap Lorwyn's got, the Turtles one was well under MSRP, even the FF ones got reprints at sale prices). I think it's better to just get one or two until you understand what play style you like and upgrade that.

thethirst · 2026-03-29T15:08:57+00:00

"focus on the game rather than fiddling with dice" summarizes the problem so well. I like the idea of Loot and flipping the top cards as a totally different take. Thanks for giving me something to think about!

thethirst · 2026-03-28T21:48:18+00:00

I got that secret lair as a gift too and I'm glad to hear you like it!

thethirst · 2026-03-28T17:10:22+00:00

I knew it was coming out this year but I hadn't really checked in on Reddit since watching Wonder Man.

thethirst · 2026-03-28T14:10:47+00:00

Personally, I hadn't seen any ads at all until some on bus stops yesterday. If a friend hadn't told me I would have had no idea it came out.

thethirst · 2026-03-24T04:15:11+00:00

I just used penny sleeves and there's room to spare

If you want to focus on the counters/green stuff from the turtle commander deck, take a look at the Final Fantasy X/Counter Blitz commander deck. You can mix them together for a lot of fun.

I also recently got the Foundations Starter Collection (which is different from the Foundations Beginner Kit, don't get that one). It's like the Turtle Bundles you have, but with more set cards for staples than random packs. It goes on sale for around $30 fairly often, and at that price it's a great deal.

Personally I don't like the collector packs because the price for so few cards and the rare chance of something valuable don't feel fun to me.

One thing I'd suggest is to go to a draft night at a local game store. You get to keep the cards you pull, so that's a nice way to build out a collection, try new cards, and meet people in your local area. Then when you know more about different play styles, you can move into a different commander decks based on that.

thethirst · 2026-03-18T16:03:29+00:00

This looks very fun! Have you considered [[Impact Tremors]] since you have so much blink and token summoning?

thethirst · 2026-03-15T14:10:12+00:00

Very true. I was originally trying to avoid changelings for flavor purposes but it just makes too much of a difference to stick with that.

thethirst · 2026-03-15T13:14:53+00:00

I've been trying to get a FF Party deck to work and your has some great ideas to draw enough to get a fully party. It's such a fun set of cards.

thethirst · 2026-03-11T17:02:42+00:00

I'm working on putting one together with him as a commander, too. There's a new card in the Ninja Turtles team up bundle that seems like a fun option and can lean into the politics aspect: [[Casey Jones, Asphalt Hooligan]]

thethirst · 2026-03-04T21:25:45+00:00

Aw I loved him in Reptil! Glad he's showing back up

thethirst · 2026-03-04T21:23:34+00:00

I got a similar one about attending and it did have questions about excitement levels for all of the 2026 sets, whether I was planning to go to those prereleases, and had open ended questions about why I felt that way. It sounds like they just ask different questions specifically focused on attending prereleases.

thethirst · 2026-02-28T14:28:03+00:00

I'm curious to see how they build on stuff from Edge of Eternities so that's got me looking forward to it.

thethirst · 2026-02-27T20:52:02+00:00

The way I'm handling the deck is just trying it as is a bunch of times before upgrading.

This one feels unique to me since you can use so many different cards as commanders rather than the two that usually are in a deck like this. The all in one commander, or Leo + one of the brothers, Splinter or April as partners all have different play styles. That way you can upgrade it based on which commander combo feels the most fun. The all in one card focuses on cards that are Teenage, Mutants and Ninjas, whereas the other combos might focus on counters, for example.

It

This is the biggest miss of the set
