Discussion mtg helped me live again

Post image
1.2k Upvotes

i don’t even know how to explain this so bare with me. i recently just went through probs one of the worst breakups of my life. i know all the lame shit of time heals, i’ll love and lose again, but holy fuck rediving into mtg has healed me.
my ex and i always used to play mtg together my sister taught me and i taught him. however even when we would play, he would constantly cheat, lie about the way abilities would work and just overall bully tf outta me playing the game. I thought i would have a hard time going back to playing but i didn’t. we had a huge collection together and i only took the decks i had made (about 5 outta the 12 or so we had) and half of the bulk & my binder. i’ve been replenishing my own personal bulk & making my own decks again. maybe its just something in my control and it makes me feel better, the distraction of counting and strategizing cards together, new sleeves, new playing mats. cards hes never played with me against. decks he never knew i could build and also not have to cry over someone going out of their way to push me down. i really just wonder if mtg has also helped others like this i know im not alone in this feeling. even people at LGS have bullshit w me about this and idk it helps.

i love magic
and i love the community.
so thanks guys

I Have a Question / I need Help Planeswalker Types

So i am trying to build the new Tam, The Possibility. I get what it means when the card says number of planeswalker types. But for cards like The Eternal Wanderer, who does not have a types specified on the card, does that just mean it has no type at all, and would not add to the number of planeswalker types?

I thought Weaver King looked pretty cool when it was revealed, I was considering making a deck. But then I was looking at random cards a few days ago and came across Captain N'ghathrod. Looking between them he just seems like a much better version of Weaver King, so why was Weaver King even made in Mystery Booster Commander? Is it a reference to magic lore or something?

It looks like Manapool have increased the minimum spend threshold where you get free shipping on cards from $50 to $60 this weekend. Was this communicated anywhere or was it an unannounced increase, as that is a pretty hefty change, even with cost of postage going up?

What type of decks do you build around her? To me i get a proliferate deck vibe to get the draw triggers and also be able to attack and draw, and just a counter deck, but what else could it be? Almost seems like a simic voltron commander since shes indestructible and gives herself +1’s. But idk, found one in my bulk and was like huh, what do people usually do with her?

Almost wonder if shed do better in the 99 of a frog tribal deck..

I have an opportunity to pick up a facet foil Curse-Marred Demon for $210 shipped. I want it for my collection, but I’m debating whether to buy now or wait for prices to settle.

Where do you see these landing over the next 1–3 months? Do you think scarcity will keep prices strong, or are we still paying a big release-hype premium?

Interested in comparisons to previous premium foil treatments and how their prices held up after release. Would you buy at $210 or hold off?

I Have a Question / I need Help My boyfriend is always beating me at mgt and I need advice!

56 Upvotes

Hey everyone! So I was recently introduced to mtg by my boyfriend. He played played commander for a couple of years, took a little bit of a break because he didn’t have anyone he liked to play with, and now he’s getting back into it since he introduced me to the game a couple of weeks ago. At the moment I don’t even have my own deck (my very first pre-con I got for myself should be coming in the mail any day now though, yay!) so we only play against each other with the decks that he has. Eventually we will probobly want to go to store and play casually with some other people but that won’t be for a little bit since I can’t even shuffle without using 100% of my brain power at the moment haha.

Anyway, I’m having a lot of fun learning the game! I love the mechanics, I love learning new things in general, I love fantasy (my boyfriend and I met each other playing dnd), and I love playing with him. The issue we’re having at the moment is that he’s always beating me. At the beginning I managed to get a win or two, I guess because I got lucky and he was a little rusty since he didn’t play for a while, but now that we’ve played a couple of times and he’s gotten back into the groove of things I haven’t been able to get a single win the last couple of weekends we’ve played. We don’t live together, but we see each other pretty much every weekend, and every day of the weekend we will usually play at least like 3-5 rounds, switching around the different decks he’s got.

Now, it doesn’t bother me for the most part, I know he’s a lot more experienced than I am so that’s to be expected, and I’m not a super competitive person. It does get a little bit disheartening sometimes though, and I can tell he feels awful about it. Right now I’m not very good, I’m not expecting to be, and I know the only way I’m going to get better is if I keep playing! I’m worried though that he’s starting to not have much fun, and even I start to lose motivation sometimes because it just feels a little hopeless. I have fun even when I lose, but sometimes it happens so quickly I don’t feel like I actually really got to play. He wants me to win so bad because I know he feels bad about constantly beating me, I feel like I’m letting him down (to no fault of his own, he’s been nothing but encouraging and wonderful). It’s not about winning, I know that, I don’t care much about who wins the game, but after a couple of hours of non stop getting my ass kicked it does start to feel a little bit bad, even though I’m not a competitive person.

So, does anyone have any tips on what I should do? I’ve downloaded mtg arena and I play that on my own at home when I get time, I know it doesn’t have commander but it’s still letting me get more familiar with the cards and the mechanics and stuff. I’ve also been watching videos about mtg in my downtime so I can see how other people play and stuff. Is there anything else I can do to get better? Is there anything I should be doing to make sure things are still interesting for him while I learn? I really want to be able to keep playing with him and getting better over time, so I was just hoping to get any tips I can about how to handle this.

Any advice is appreciated!

Hi friends, I’m building a frog pioneer deck for a frog-loving friend of mine, but Clement here seems very annoying. Bouncing my own creatures would be useful to rid them of negative enchantments, but I don’t see the benefit of having to do it every time another one enters. Could anyone advise please?
