Thinking of building Ms Bumbleflower but as many adventures as possible. Basically, her tavern or kitchen would be like the adventure hub where you start your journey and can come back to rest. Thematic, though I doubt this would ever be a bracket 1 lol.

I need to play some Commander.

Went out kayaking today (and tonight) with @narmas.bsky.social . Had a good time but might be sore tomorrow. Just a small go on flat water, full moon as bright as a sun (last pic) camp fire foods and otherwise quiet. The vibes were great.

I know it's not even Halloween yet but if you need to budget across months for gifts like I do and want this give it a consideration.

Cards I like in my decks 36: some players say that giving your opponents anything is generally a bad idea. Breaking parity is all you have to really do because you get more. Rites of Flourishing is a card I've always liked and works well in Xyris for a number of reasons.

Finally got around to filing out my ballot.... and 5 of the 7 local ballot questions are missing. wtf.

Expensive things are happening and/or need to be dealt with. Unfortunately, I've run out of options so what's the best way to get the most for some of my magic cards?

I haven't yet summoned or landfelled out a Toxrill in Nissa yet, but I like that the other things I've gotten out have immediately gotten the game going. If I take out the slug, what should I put in that can or could win the game on its own?

Okay, hear me out. Listen to The Sound of Silence, but as a critique on AI and the LLMs.

Wednesday is going to be a decent day I hope. I'm at least going to vote and if hell happens it best wait til I'm done.

Who wants to hear @narmas.bsky.social and I disagree about Magic and Commander? (She's wrong btw)

Cards I like in my decks 35: The Ancient One is large creature that is easy to summon and largely easy to get online to attack or block. The problem after that is getting to actually hit players and not just put pressure on them. Wonder, along with some other effects, work well in this regard.

There are definitely worse ways to waste time than on something you like. Wish I had worked harder to the waste my time.

According to a large well known online market website, I buy playmats based art alone. This is incorrect. Not only is the sampling size two, I also base it on price.

Breakfast this fine Sunday.

You make a plan, schedule the time, something comes up to interrupt that plan and you just don't do the thing? Anyone else? I guess it's defeatist but after 10-20 or so years I'm tired of it.

Just grabbed a few of these for my decks. I think it's really good removal with a slight upside to bonk. It will be doubly good in Maralen where I have a few cards like Yarok to let me pay for it twice. While it's not Soul Shatter I think this will end up in a LOT of decks.

I almost couldn't delete a post about my YShtola deck being slightly staxy... Staxy got autocorrected to something else that would have been awkward as hell lol

If you see this, post a skeleton.

Should I try this in non green Nissa or is this a terrible losing friends decision?

I really like this, but after not being able to get the last lair I wanted Im pessimistic.

Cards I like in my decks 34: in designing Nissa to be a summoner, I had to fill in the lower part of the mana curve with something to do that wasn't creatures. I decided on a fog and redirection package. Fogs won out, with some "fog" effects like Take the Bait protecting me until Nissa is online.

Totally got to post this. Went on a night hike a few days ago trying to watch some meteors. Trail was very level so navigating it wasn't too hard. Got some good pictures of the sky, but I'm not sure which phone of the four of us got the meteor pictures.

I really needed a vacation. I'm just not getting enough rest or doing what I need to recover from the everyday bs.

This sticker some weeks is nothing but truth.

Cards I like in my decks 33: I posted some other time about the draw being weird in my Rosheen deck and Gilanra here is one of those sources of card draw along with being a mana dork. This helps both with the casting of hydras and other X spells and gets me that sweet card draw.

Finally being able to catch some Nissa gameplay videos for new ideas. It's been interesting to see the legend get different kinds of decks and strategies going at different levels of power.

Not sure this will be good in Rosheen, but it's Fblthp and it gets me more lands. Too bad they aren't into play BUT because my card draw is kinda wonky sometimes I think he will work or fine. Adding some snow lands to up the land tutoring. Eagerly awaiting my mail for this and Ajani's Anguish.

In an attempt to evelate my larger card boxes off my floor I thrifted a stout table for $8. Now I need to get new boxes and start sorting. Boxes very expensive apparently. This will take a while. Are they any good boxes besides BCW brand?

Cards I like in my decks 32: Lim-Dul's Vault is certainly an odd card in name, but is easily a great card in anything where you need to manipulate the top of your deck and acts as a semi-tutor for a card you need otherwise. In Nissa, it does both, setting up for the landfall and boogey man reveal.

I have a strong need to play some Commander today. So many ideas to test. Should probably get those decks together first though 😅

There will be a "small" reprint run for the incredibly popular Magic The Gathering Warhammer 40K Commander decks. https://bit.ly/4AUxFRr

When I played Nissa at the LGS I had Gift of Estates in both games. I thought the card would be fantastic in the deck, but I dropped a land every turn so I could never use it because I had the most lands on field. Ironic. Still testing but my short list replacement might be Expedition Map

Cards I like in my decks 31: Annie Joins Up is actually a card I don't see too often, but does really good work with legends like Rocco here. Everyone essentially draws two cards, and I get counters and tokens doubled when he triggers. The five damage for removal is also surprisingly potent.
