The entire cEDH Magda Discord waiting to see if we get a new one-drop dwarf in #mtgxhobbit:

I’m starting a new Magic format called Carolina Commander. 100-card singleton, whole hog, mustard-based sauce (but vinegar sauces are allowed with a pre-game Rule 0 conversation).

Free license plate idea: BLTDBRD

RIP Ron Spears — you just kept getting better. What an artistic legacy!

Time to build a mono black reanimator deck I guess. T1 Vilis seems good. I’ve been wanting an excuse to cheat out Armaggon, Future Shark from the TMNT set.

Thinking about a five-color Lurrus deck to deal with the Rhystic piles…

Dearest @scryfall, Feature request (I think this is as simple as a CSS change?): I’d love to have a one column Images view. So the regular images view in one column instead of two. Or the full view without the rules text. Thank you. Middle aged eye-edly, 💀 🫴

Now that Jeskat is sticking around as a fav deck, and I’ve invested a silly amount of time/money into hunting down Mystery Booster Dragon’s Approaches for it, it’s time for an alter triptych in the Command Zone. Jeska = Ellen Ripley Falthis = Jonesy the cat Obosh = Xenomorph

If there’s not a Trouble With Tribbles Copy token in the Star Trek set we politely riot. (I’ll probably make one to give out at MagicCon Atlanta anyway.)

Fun fact: you can fit 5–6,000 unsleeved Magic cards in a large USPS priority flat rate box. It’s weighs about 25lbs when you’re done. $31.50.

Judge! If I control Supreme Scientist of A.I.M., Tree of Perdition, and Wound Reflection, then activate Liquimetal Torque to make Tree an artifact, when I activate Tree, and copy its ability with Scientist, what happens?

WotC’s like “everyone hates the secret lair queuing system, let’s put it in more things!” I’m in line for tickets to buy the thing that I’ll go to and be in more lines?

Proxies for Bruce Bander (Banding Mutate)

When you need to test a deck, but you sold all your Fetches/Triomes, and haven’t bought any Surveil lands yet…

Gonna proxy the heck out of these with a bunch of Ghost Rider paintings over the Lorespinner parts. Wheels of Fortune incoming.

Commander players are kinda universally bad at new card evaluation, but I sit up in my seat any time a Cube enthusiast gets hyped about new role players. This probably says a lot about how I build Commander decks.

Drawing on cards

Sometimes you need a Spellseeker and don’t have one handy.

Stufful Supremacy!

Just draw on your cards.

Hit-Monkey might be the best keyword soup Mutate target green has ever gotten. Very excited to make Illuna a Flying, Trample, Reach, Vigilance, Deathtouch, Hexproof, Haste 6/6 that puts a nonland permanent into play for free.

Leyline of Singularity (“All nonland permanents are legendary”) is underplayed in Commander since it blanks every token, treasure, clue, and food strategy. But putting it in a Banding deck with “bands with other legendary creatures” lands makes me feel like a deckbuilding god.

💥New Deck💥 What if we took some of the most confusing judge call inducing mechanics in Magic's history — Banding, Banding w/ Trample damage, Mutate, and Mutating double-sided Transform cards — and put them all in the same deck? Bruce Bander!

Attack with Quicksilver, Speedster and mutate Illuna, Apex of Wishes at instant speed mid-combat?

Rager Laser!

I don’t want to build a colorless Commander deck again, but Molecule Man in the 99 of a deck with a steep mana curve sounds super fun. For me.

Currently brewing up Bruce Banner/Hulk because I’ve had a terrible idea for years — a Mutate Banding Commander deck — and I think this is finally the way to make it happen. But also with Transform cards. Working title: “Judge Call.”

Good first week posting proxies and alters to Instagram!

Just need another mana, like from Simian or Elvish Spirit Guide, but I love the idea that we could have a T1 Incredible Hulk.

I’ve reached the point with Magic where 1) if I ever build a deck that sticks around I know I’ll bling it out with foils and Secret Lairs and such, and 2) when I’m testing a deck I’m fine with proxies for what I don’t have, so 3) I’m probably going to sell my non-foil collection.

we don't usually see each others headers, but here's mine. quote post with yours (if you feel like it)

You know what’s a Gamma creature? Taurean Mauler. What if we had two upkeeps? And this was a Mutate deck? Hulk smash, indeed.

Stuffy Doll is eating well this set.

Another auto include for Stuffy Doll clones. I also love a little UB flavor that Matt would be worthy of Mjölnir because we all know Hell’s Kitchen’s favorite legal slut absolutely is not.

Can you misprint a proxy? Is this the best five-color cEDH Commander? Yes and also yes.

Again I say, give me more fine art Secret Lairs. Get an agreement going with the MoMA. License the Louvre. Get it together, Wizards. (I am so happy to put Gary Baseman in more decks.)

I don’t have many Magic collecting regrets, but selling off some of my 7th edition foils is pretty high on the list. “I never build green decks!” he says.

Judge! If I double Absorbing Man’s triggered ability, are there any weird rules/layers shenanigans we can get up to? (I know it’s different, but I’m thinking about how you can activate Scion of the Ur-Dragon twice to become Moltensteel Dragon then Skithiryx.)

Listen I get the UB slop hate from Magic players, but also “I equip Captain America’s Shield to Arwen and cast Hornet Queen, which enters with nine +1/+1 counters on it, and makes four 1/1 flying deathtouch insects with nine +1/+1 counters each” is the most ok boomer Timmy thing.

Captain America’s Shield has me oddly excited to rebuild Arwen, Weaver of Hope (every creature entering my battlefield with nine +1/+1 counters, including tokens, is just too rich). Need to cut four cards from this list. Help me make the hard decisions! moxfield.com/decks/VzSe00...
