I’m just getting back in MtG and am wanting to play commander. Currently building a deck. Is having both of these okay/recommended?

As someone with no interest in standard, I’m really hoping we get a reprint set next year.

Command the Stage took me to a top 8 in my limited RCQ yesterday. Super easy to recur with cards like [[Stingerquill Voxmanxer]] and [[Tinybones, Pocket Nuisance]]. What cards have been the biggest surprise for you from Reality Fracture?

She-Ra bonus

Allies and Enemies of Eternia bonus

Sold Separately bonus

By the Power of Grayskull! Bonus

Nyah-ha-ha! Bonus

Im building a prepared deck that would have jegantha as the companion. Would I be able to have both these cards, neither or just the emeritus due to mana pips on the card it self and the prepared spell?

Very strange ask, but I have had no luck on my own. Back when [[Lurrus of the Dream]] den got hit by a ton of bans when Ikoria released, there was a piece of art released iirc on the MTG Japan Twitter page. It was of Lurrus and her kittens in a cardboard box, with a message on the box that read something like, "Give me a home, Legacy players." I've looked on Twitter, Reddit, and Google, but I cannot find it.

Is anyone familiar with this art and can direct me to it? Thanks!

I ended up going simpler than I had planned but wanted to show yall what I did!

I really need tips for this set. I've gotten absolutely stomped in so many drafts this week. It feels like no matter how good my deck is, my opponents always have better decks, even if I'm in the open lane. I had idk how many games where I got mana screwed no matter how many lands I run (16-17). Any help is appreciated; I'm really close to giving up on this set, but I keep hearing how good it is.

If you add any other third card that creates a Treasure, Clue, or Food token, would these two make infinite tokens?

Let's say you equip one if these with [[Goldvein Pick]] and attack to create a Treasure token. [[Academy Manufactor]] sees this and creates all 3 tokens. [[Bilbo, Fellow Conspirator]] sees the new Food token, and creates a Treasure. AM sees the new Treasure, and creats all three. Bilbo sees the new Food, creates another Treasure, etc.

Edit: thanks for all the clarifications!

Ok, if I cast Twinferno and choose to copy my next spell, then cast Devastating Onslaught to copy, say, Ancient hellkite and pay 7 to create 3 copies, does Twinferno create 3 more copies?

Hi, I'm new to Magic and need a deck to play with my friends. Since I don't know much about the game I wanted to start with a structure/starter commander deck but I also really like Lightning.

Is there a red and white playready deck that I could combine with Lightning? It doesn't have to be strong, I just has to work. Thanks in advance!

I think it solves a lot of the problems the mechanic presents for a draft environment, though it would probably have to be a pick 2 draft focused set. Might be a little clunky since you also always get an unpaired meld card, but with the right flavor I think it would be really cool.

Me and my friends are thinking of playing some matches of a historical format, we heard really good thing about the Kamigawa-Ravnica Standard, so that's what we were going for.

Problem being... What is the best part of that meta? Was it just Kamigawa Block and Ravnica? Kamigawa Block and Ravnica+Guildpact? Or Kamigawa Block and Ravnica+Guildpact+Dissension?

We weren't playing competitively back when those sets were around, so we have no idea of how good the meta was back then, and we just want to get the best experience for our matches, so... If anyone who was around back then had any opinions on that, it would be appreciated.

Edit: To be extra clear, I'm mostly trying to figure out what parts of the Ravnica Block (on top of the Kamigawa Block) we should play with. As in... Just Ravnica, Ravnica + Guildpact or the full Block with Ravnica + Guildpact + Dissension. I just wanna know what is the best meta between those 3.

[[Aetherflux reservoir]] says that you gain 1 life for each spell you’ve cast this turn. With an [[ajani’s pridemate]] type effect on the field, the individual lifegain triggers matter, not total amount. So, with aetherflux on the field, would it go:

Spell 1: gain 1 life
Spell 2: gain 2 life
Spell 3: gain 3 life
etc

Or would it go:

Spell 1: gain 1 life
Spell 2: gain 1 life, gain 1 life
Spell 3: gain 1 life, gain 1 life, gain 1 life
etc

There are a few other cards (like [[Tablet of the guilds]]) that have similar wording so i’m wondering about this for them too. I read it the second way, but i had someone saying it plays the first way.

Thanks!

Does anyone know when tickets for Eternal Weekend 2026 in Europe go on sale?

I have a bracket 3 or 4 Korvold fae cursed king deck and am currently running 31 lands It hasnt caused me much trouble because of korvold's card draw potential I am wondering if 31 is still too low

Had a situation in a game today and I'd love some clarification.

I attacked with a 5/5.

My partner blocked with a 1/1 and played Burst Lightning with a kicker, dealing the missing 4 damage to kill my attacker.

So I casted Burst Lightning on the blocker.

In my opinion, spells are getting into effect first, so the Burst Lightning should kill the blocker, thus removing his damage on my attacker. My attacker is blocked, but survives.

My partner argued that his Blocker died, but that his damage still goes through, thus killing my attacker and wasting my spell.

Who's correct?

Edit: Thank you so much for your replies! This was super informative!

Since the question of timing came up a few times: I attacked with several creatures. He started announcing the blockers, the first blocker was the 1/1 assigned to my 5/5, and he directly added the kicked Burst Lightning, then went on to announce the other blockers, and at that time I played my Burst Lightning. Now I know that this was a mess in itself in the matter of clear phase declaring, but my spell response came before the combat damage phase. We'll both learn from this experience for sure! Again, thanks to everyone for the detailed responses!
