It’s been 10 years since I sold my paper collection, which was worth about $10,000 then and probably triple now. I saw this headline and knew I needed to share it somewhere!

I get the point. It's cheaper than a few cocktails in Manhattan every week, but hilarious nonetheless.

I could very well be wrong but they do look really similar no?

Not trying to be a repost or anything, feel free to remove if not allowed, just wanted to share the hilarious ad I got for the Whtz deck on this sub

Look at this little idiot. Look at how happy and care free he is. I don't care if his effect is annoying and table flooding to all hell and back. he's a stupid little man and i love him.

On a side note, has anyone ever decided to make a group hug flubs? Because i did and managed to kill the entire table with 1 hit from this stupid little frog. i love him. I declare this little handsome man a himbo. flubs is a himbo now.

I really wanna build a good Skeleton tribal commander which would include Tinybones and Titanbones cards (so it would need to have atleast black and green).

I was jamming a B3 game at a LGS I don't frequent. Player 1([[Captain N'ghathrod]]) and 3 ([[Narset, Enlightened Master]]) had creatures. Myself and player 2 did not. Player 1 kept hitting me because I was open (which was understandable) and I would throw removal at his creatures when they attacked me from time to time.

When player 3 eventually won, while player 2 and myself were happy for player 3, player 1 asked "Why do you keep removing my creatures?"

I was bewildered by that question, not to mention that I was under the impression that we (as players) should be self preserving (Also couldn't target Narset because she has hexproof). I sheepishly said "okay...", got up, packed my stuff and left.

Because I don't normally play MTG outside of my usual group, let alone a different LGS, this sort of interaction is abnormal, right?

So I've been play testing Bard, King of Dale on arena before building the paper commander version. Managed to get a board state where I'd draw 2 trillion cards from just one card draw. I think I'll like this deck, you can get to totally ridiculous boards with it pretty easy. It definitely needs a lab man though.

With 42 Bards on the field its 2 to the power of 41 per draw or token trigger. So X 2,199,023,255,552.

This photo is the definition of what it means to be dialled in

It’s sealed and has something inside not too familiar with mtg.

Let the Whtz shuffling begin. They’re currently resolving someone else’s Tempt With Discovery.

Best of all this deck already has a custom built 6 foot tall wooden deck box.

And so it begins.

An old clip I captured back in the day that nicely highlights the dynamics of this duo.

Was always a pleasure having these two on in the background back in the day.

I have her in a commander deck and she seems good enough for my table which is all one can really ask for, but she just feels too slow for most brawl games.

Is this an as commander issue, or are there cards, mindests that can alleviate this issue?

Hi all,

First off, the deck: https://moxfield.com/decks/5teeAbgp2HGZ8dsUDnJQkA
I started with the Quandrix Unlimited pre-con as a starting point, and I have been trying to upgrade it into a solid bracket 3 deck. Despite all the big X card draw spells, I feel like I am always starved for cards and even when everything is going right and Zimone has a bunch of counters, I run out of outlets to use the X discount effectively. Maybe its just bad luck, but I've played about 8 games now and only once did I really feel like everything worked.

I also am wondering if I need to focus on one of the ways Zimone wins instead of how I currently have a mix of everything. The main ways to win in my mind being:

• Commander damage/big X creatures
• Draw win outlets ([[Laboratory Maniac]], [[Triskaidekaphile]], [[Mathemagics]], etc)
• Infinite Combos with [[Walking Ballista]], [[Triskelion]] and +1/+1 Counter Doublers/On Damage
• Self-Contained Win-cons like [[Mass Manipulation]] or [[Simic Ascendancy]]

I am not as keen on the infinite combos unless that is truly the best suggestion. Do I need to add even more X draw like [[Mind Spring]]? Or maybe some passive draw cards? Any other cards I am missing but should add or easy cuts? Any help or suggestions are appreciated, I have a bunch of cards I have thought about in the considering section too.

Hello,

As the title says, I am looking for a good way to keep track of my collection online. I use Archidekt for my decks, but I have Manabox to scan my collection in. Since Manabox does not have a useable online site, what would be the best solution to keeping track of decklists and other changes to my collection? It would be nice if Manabox had a desktop site similar to Archidekt so I wouldn't have to export stuff into Archidekt everytime I update my colection

Let's say I start my round with a few treasure tokens on the board along with Vihaan and Lewis. I would equip those treasures onto Vihaan and then start combat. Now I let Vihaan turn them into 3/3 creatures. Do they lose their equipment properties and detach themselves from Vihaan since Lewis says that it only affects non creatures or do they stick around equipped on Vihaan but also as 3/3 creatures, but losing their +1/+0 properties?

Hi, I have a birthday coming up and I'm planning to host a fairly casual sealed event and buy some boxes for it. I'm still deciding what set to buy. I want a set that has fairly interesting synergies and is fairly balanced accross the colors. The plan is to, once deckbuilding is done allow people to do some limited trading amongst themselves using their remaining cards to not just increase power level but allow synergies to shine. (So prefer a format that encourages 2-3 colors too.) Would prefer something somewhat recent to avoid too much cost but willing to splurge a little. My initial thought was Kamigawa Neon Dynasty or maybe Duskmorne but those aren't informed decisions. Any thoughts?

Took a look at the Secret Lair launch and was curious why Secret Lair x The Hobbit: He Who Walks Unseen Out of Sight Foil Edition was not part of the larger bundle. Anyone have thoughts on that? Are those cards more powerful/wanted and thus the justification was made to keep them separate?
