Quick info to all the people that dont play magic the gathering: 9/11 for mtg players just happened

[gregor-never-leaves-the-house]

So, I did another Magic Thing:

Ever since Twilight was shown, I wanted to build a Commander Deck with her, and let me tell you: I *hate* Commander. 100 individual cards? So much mana balancing? So much removal? So many goddamn staples?? I hate staples! But hell, Twilight did it for me.

So I printed them, and it works! I'm really glad.

Printing these Proxies is always a highlight.

Anyway, I'm never building a Commander Deck again. Cube all the way, babyyyyyyyy

[folansstuff]

More fancy proxies. Magic is expensive, but getting cute art doesn't have to be.

[cotton-candy-crow]

I got bored so I ranked how strong the mana rocks in Commander are (including mana crypt and jeweled lotus)

mana crypt.

sol ring with no downside

sol ring.

mana crypt with downside (costs 1)

Mox Diamond

mana of any color can be added, puts a land in your bin which can be good

chrome mox

always taps for a color you want, but imprint can be rough later

mox opal

requires more set up than chrome and diamond

mox amber

i'd personally put amber tied with opal, but i think opal is just slightly stronger

arcane signet

its goated

the guild talismans

flexibility is great

paradise mantle

like if mox amber and arcane signet had an unwanted child

Mind stone

the fact you can sac it to draw a card makes it better than #13

thought vessel

we've all been there

all of the guild signets

i'd say these cost like 2 and a half mana, but at least they're untapped

everflowing chalice

the child of paradise mantle if they allowed it to breed

the tapped diamonds

these are bad, they're effectively 3 mana

What i didn't include:

jeweled lotus

this is a ritual

mana vault

this is a ritual

medallions

cost reducers are better than rocks in most cases, but arent rocks

monoliths

these are combo pieces

rocks that cost 3

i'd be here all day

Negative 6 billion: mox tantalite

the forgettable suspend moxen. suspend is bad

sol talisman

sol ring with suspend also isnt good

This is just my opinion, I am open to discussion.

Casual Commander Pod Tip!

If you find yourself becoming the target of one player's removal more often than you feel is reasonable, gently bring that up with said player.

If the behavior persists, remember the Golden Rule: No Commander is better than Bad Commander. You can't stop them from playing those cards, but you can stop playing with them and look for other play groups.

hat tip to: Commander's Sphere

[corvablog]

I've never seen someone win by using Bribery to steal another player's Leveler out of their library.

Until tonight, I guess.

[incorrect-mtg-theories]

If you manage to put a token into your opponent's command zone it'll be a copy of your commander that you can also cast just like in chess

[corpsecoochie]

do you play edh? if so what are some of your favorite commanders to pilot?

I do! That’s actually my preference.

My absolute favorite/main one is my Aesi deck- that’s the one that pisses everyone off lmfao- it slows the game waaaaaaay down and prevents much from happening unless you have flying and/or landfall, plus I feel like a little cockroach because I can get so much life back that it’s really hard to knock me out of the game quickly (and through trial and error I’ve learned to pack a few counter spells in there to combat board wipes when people get mad at me lol). Though truthfully I am likely going to replace the commander for this one.

My second favorite is my Neyali deck- she packs a fuckin punch and there’s several scary cards in there that create a shit ton of creatures and counters. I play her if I know I’m gonna go against people who wanna try to take my ass out quickly instead of letting me build the way my Aesi deck requires.

I have a few others, but these two are my babies and the ones I’ve spent the most time editing, especially the sea monster deck haha. I’m gonna make a rat deck and a dinosaur deck next!

[redplaysblue]

After finally winning a couple games with infinite combos I can safely say they are only fun if you can't tutor them super easily, at least for me personally. It makes it feel a lot more like getting my pieces of Exodia!

[folansstuff]

Finally cracked my deckbuilding rut with one of the coolest cards to come out of Bloomburrow. Almost want to get the other key cards of the deck proxied as tarot cards as well just to match the theme.

[punishedcrow]

a weird thing i do with MTG is whenever i find out about a combo while playing arena, although I know it's wildly known, i try to keep it a secret within my gaming circle as much as possible so i get to have these secret spells all for myself. it's silly but sometimes i do feel like a little wizard with their secret little spells ✨🧙🏽‍♂️🫥

deePRECONnassiance: entering MTGO's Commander Workshop

This is a series where I dig into the preconstructed decklists from Magic’s digital history. Why? Maybe you vaguely remember playing with them and were trying to remember a particular card. Or you could be a precon tragic who misses the old style of theme/intro decks. Or you’re looking for inspiration for new kitchen table decks for when you get together for some beers with your buddies. That…

[artguycharlie]

Had a good game last night. It’s a shame I haven’t got my custom art Rat Colonies done yet, this would have been a great debut game for them.

I will only be referring to this as Shrekmobile from now on.
