@gavinverhey.bsky.social hey Gavin please give this a look - he's saying a lot of things I agree with and I think it would be good for the brand www.youtube.com/watch?v=ci54...

weird that it's not just called Ettin

if you really want to disrupt some tables, nothing has gotten my cedh opponents more tilted than stax in my Magda deck lol Vexing Bauble does so much work

Utilizing the central thematic mechanic in a deck
eg. reanimating some creatures in a reanimator deck

Wizards should include a clause in whatever agreement you come to about that where you can drop a video about it early if it gets leaked - that would just make sense

Wizards: We have to stop printing to demand so we can get our SLDs to customers right away

also Wizards: Sonic SLD will start shipping Aug 8th 🙄

the *best* way to do it would be to print it at actual common in a Foundations style set and fully flood the market

yeah I kinda figured - shame it all got smushed into one list - separate power levels and brackets one way or the other would have been a nice level of granularity

we need a player bracket system - exhibitionist, midcore, and optimizer - an optimizer's 2 is going to hit different than a midcore's 2, and the exhibitionist's bracket 4 is gonna be an ~experience~

The C? Oh it's for ~cashmere~ darling - my secret lairs deserve it 💅

Her token is SO good I can't even
(I was running her because of that token, but ended up switching to Beamtown Bullies no-Leveler so I could make people smack each other with a Jumbo Cactuar 🌵🤪 tee hee)

I mean presumably you do that before you play the Crystal, or you have a sac engine powerful enough that relying on your opponents to have sac fodder isn't necessary

I mean sure but I "pulled" a foil borderless Yuna and the FMA Urza and still came out -$13 on the "pack" I just "ripped" so the rates aren't really relevant lol

have you seen this yet? justbuysingles.com

it only exiles opponent's stuff - if your plan with Sephiroth happens on your board it's not really a problem - just exchanging a little bit of value from the pings for the value of exiling their creatures and maybe getting to play with them if you flood out or get blown out

Yeah I don't blame them they're great people - I can't wait for a new system though that'll be nice

local shops keep using it to organize events in my area - pretty disappointing

Yeah my local tournaments are all run through them - pretty shitty having to support those assholes just so I can compete

From the mtg community on Reddit: Wizards is only gonna stop when we stop going crazy for every universes beyond. Scalpers know most magic players want them too. We didn’t see aetherdrift get scalped Explore this post and more from the mtg community

lmao I love how many people on reddit are whiffing the joke (btw somebody reposted you on reddit) www.reddit.com/r/mtg/commen...

happy birthday babynose 💛

That might not be about the bans - that might just be their baseline - just going from the legacy players I know.. lol

I'm up to 6 now despite only really playing FFT lol
Kuja, Mono-green Tifa, Boros Sephiroth, Shelinda, Jumbo Cactuar secret commander, and of course Vivi cEDH - the set just has really fun mechanics

yeah I have a jumpstart cube - if I could talk my friends into playing 1v1 magic more than like once a year it would see a lot more use lol

hmm interesting - I'll have to check it out - that's probably the most viable cube to suggest to commander players imo

oh is conspiracy FFA? I had no idea

FFA draft sounds like an interesting option - if there was a cube intended to play like that I might give it a shot - idk how you would communicate that about it though

(Oh I have tried 2HG - I don't love that format because it doesn't exactly work with some of the card design very well)

No but it sounds interesting

is it FFA or 1v1? I think that's the crux of what makes commander so good - in any video game a 4v4 squad match or a FFA is generally going to be a lot more fun than 1v1ing with some sweaty
