We love game data statistics as well which is why we built playnicemtg.com - more than happy to set you up with some accounts if you want to try something that's a step up from recording data in a spreadsheet.

We also have a nifty Meta page with aggregated stats from 45k+ commander games in there.

Yep - I had one that was rolled up inside a padded envelope and that one was just fine. Had another one folded inside a padded envelope and those creases are never coming out :(

Shake it up a little - how about Kefka, Wandering Minstrel or Rocco?

I don't think the bans (apart from Nadu, I guess) did much for casual - it was the addition of the bracket system that moved the needle there. cEDH got much worse after the bans.

The bans seem just as stupid in hindsight as they did on the day they were announced.

Take advantage of the fact that you now have a bracket system in place and unban the cards that were banned last year for being too powerful (eg. Mana Crypt, JLO, Dockside). They belong on the game changers list, sure, but there's no reason to keep them banned.

You kept mentioning the chance to pull a galaxy foil Ancient Tomb as the big chase card here (spoiler: he didn't), but you can't actually get galaxy foils in Play boosters.

Spikefeeders dice

Anyone know a source for creating custom 30mm D6 dice, similar to the ones that the @spikefeeders.com use? Thinking it might be nice to cook up some dice for @playnicemtg.bsky.social while we're working on getting our game recording space set up. @alex.spikefeeders.com ?

Only place in the US, you mean? They had these in Sydney this weekend.

WTF - reported all 3 of them.

That simply isn’t true. Pre-ban, we were in a turbo meta with rogsi & blue farm at the top of the heap. Look at the decks that played in the Topdeck invitational & open last year. The bans nuked the turbo meta, slowed down everything and pushed a crop of value mid-range decks towards the top.

That is categorically untrue.

But what problem in cEDH does banning this solve? We're in mid-range hell because WoTC banned the powerful cards that made the games go faster - feels nuts that the proposed solution to this should be "ban more powerful cards" instead of "give us back the cards we like to play with".

None of that is true. Your decks are lower tier cEDH decks - you shouldn't be playing these at casual tables.

Topdecked.com is a fantastic piece of software for collection/value tracking.

Trump economic pitches to the public are like
"Yes we'll have a recession, what are you, a sissy?"
"Oh can wittle baby not handle some higher egg prices?"
"Retirement is for the weak"

You flash it in in response to their thoracle trigger. You win on top, their trigger never resolves.

I don't even play Kinnan and I want this mat.

Turn 2 Ad Naus got countered by a Dovin's Veto & was stuck top-decking for the rest of the game. Garth One-Eye player proceeded to win with infinite Black Lotuses (loti?). Janky cEDH games last night made me almost wish for a draw, but, hey, it's some interesting data for @playnicemtg.bsky.social

Got blessed with this sweet ass Rog token from the dank master himself, @goldsabertooth.bsky.social at #MagicConChicago

I miss my sister.

Gorgeous!

Just stunning.

Have had the Atmoph 2 screens for a couple of years now and the view just never gets old. #deathstranding #atmoph @hideokojima0824en.bsky.social

It looked fantastic in person too!
