I interview people about their favorite Magic the Gathering decks. Deck building is a fascinating form of self-expression, so let's talk about it! linktr.ee/TheFaerieConclave

Someone who looks a lot like Spice, in all black standing arms outstretched holding a book (a bible) whilst police horses charge it. There's a crowd behind.

They didn't run it down & the line was held.

Outnumbered the fascists.

Police failed to break our line.

They got bundled into taxis & fucked off home.

Got a pic that goes crazy hard out of the whole equation.

Lovely Saturday, over all.

It's a Lluwen deck! So all about getting lands into the graveyard and making a ton of worms πŸ˜‚ Multani is a nice backup plan!

2023-2026: UNIVERSES BEYOND ERA. Began with the release of Lord of the Rings. The One Ring and many UB precon releases giving commander its super smash bros esque vibe that we currently have today.

What do you think the next era will be?

2019-2023: MODERN ERA. Began with the releases of Throne of Eldraine and Modern Horizons 1. Arcane Signet and overpowered staples were printed and immediately became universal in decks.

2016-2019: MIDDLE PRECON ERA. Began with the release of the 2016 precons where partner and the 4 color commanders came out and changed the landscape. Decks were more powerful and streamlined.

2011-2016: CLASSICAL PRECON ERA. Began with the release of the first precons. Commander was supported, but precons were more like suggestions as opposed to tuned strategies.

Lately i have been thinking about how much Commander has evolved over the years. Here is a thread of my thoughts on the different eras we've played through! What do you think?

Pre-2011: KITCHEN TABLE ERA. The meta was loose, 8 drops were the vibe, and the power levels varied wildly.

Satoru's Demons - Commander (Satoru Umezawa) A Commander deck featuring Satoru Umezawa by Alec, the Faerie Conclave β€’ Demons are one of my all time favorite creature types and Satoru is my favorite way to cheat them out!

This is why we get along. I have been playing the same deck for years!

Taught a new player commander last night, who then proceeded to cast Last March of the Ents with a 17/17 on board drawing into a Craterhoof Behemoth πŸ˜‚

Suffice it to say, he is absolutely HOOKED

The tonal shift from Lorwyn to TMNT is so jarring. I grew up watching TMNT and i can't properly express how much more i would rather be looking at Lorwyn Eclipsed Part 2 spoilers right now.
