Sorry for the delay in getting this out but life happens. This week's episode features some PREDH game play. That's right we played with a bunch of old cards.

For the first time in a long time we're bringing back Jibber Jabber with Jarvis! This week's episode features @hamhocks42.bsky.social ! So come join us on the purple app while we build a commander deck and get to know Ham!

I’d love one. Thanks!

Definitely busted and, like any good outfit, it comes in black!

I'm waiting for the Eldrazi to corrupt this guy so we can get Antigenitus.

There isn't a harder worker in the Magic news space. Somebody scoop this man up!

Well, yeah, that's what we actually need. I've just got those sweet rose-tinted glasses on.

I prefer cards that have actual character too, it's just fun to be honest about how bad some of the nostalgic cards were.

Man, Magic cards were so much better back in the day.

Back in the day:

I couldn't agree more. Bring back Iname combo!

If the entire Standard card pool didn't include the word "double," the gameplay would be better.

What do you think? Disconnect or disrespect?

Do you unironically love Lifetime original movies?

Me neither, which is why I was in a musical making fun of them! And it's now in YouTube!

This was a really fun discussion. Check it out!

I could probably pull that off....

If spiking out is most fun for you, get after it! And yeah, I'll probably bring even more group hug cards going forward and getting a rise out of you is part of the fun.

Let's get back to playing with Magic cards the right way - as toys with our friends.

So, I'm going to grab my goofiest, worst deck to throw down tomorrow and I'll try to do the big, silly thing before I get stomped.

I hope you check it out when it drops. 5/5

As a result, I'm going to play more games on MTGA in the play queue without a rank, and I've even been keeping track of the Generic Commander team's record across all our episodes. I plan to delete that section of my tracking spreadsheet.

The Win/Loss ratio shouldn't be the point. 4/5

thought about it, the more I realize I've become almost completely results-oriented in the past few months and it's killed my love of Magic. If a deck loses, I consider it a failure, and I didn't used to if the experience was fun.

I need to reconnect with the goofball who is okay with losing. 3/5

MTG burnout ever that I'm still trying to climb out of.

As I look at 2026, I need to have the same end goal but lock in a more focused resolution that's a measurable step to that end rather than the destination.

To that end, I think I need to eliminate my focus on results. The more I've 2/5

Tomorrow, we'll be recording an episode of Generic Commander (@genericcommander.bsky.social) where we focus on New Year's resolutions.

Last year, I resolved to be more positive towards the game but I feel that was too vague and I didn't exactly succeed, especially seeing as Q4 saw my biggest 1/5

That said, this GIF could also work and is the optimistic option.

Yeah, that sounds about right.
