Benevolent Bodyguard does the same thing as Selfless Savior, but as a Cleric! Orah would be nice, but Lurrus says no.
Here's what I'm going to run. Lurrus will recur any permanent spell that can be cast, not just the creatures. I plan to fill my hand and graveyard fast with lifetotal gains/tricks.
Man, it’s been a minute since I caught some terrestrial radio, but 102 JamZ has still got DJ Caesar doing the Back in the Day buffet
And it’s all Biggie Smalls rn.
I’m pulling over to enjoy this.

Both of them are really good in Pendragon, whether or not you have them command as your Arthur.

screencap of the format compendium project spreadsheet overview data, showing 472 total formats, or distinct ways to play #MagictheGathering
It blew my mind when it got like this. There may be some groupings that can be done to bring this number down. New formats are being invented all the time, and I have a custom feed and starter pack I use to find them. I also rediscover old ones on my audience-interactive live research show!

In fact, it was herniation of my L4 and L5, which caused a compression of the cuada equina nerve bundle on my right side.
Took a month of recovery and rehab to walk unassisted. It’s taken almost a year to be comfortable with walking a mile unaided.
Your body will make you listen when you don’t.
Hell yeah 👍

Hey, that’s my lifelong irl daily log-in bonus!
I hope everyone has an enlightening experience with what can happen when you ignore back discomfort. It could be nerve damage.
Pro tip: Don’t work through it like you deserve the pain. You might have a congenital defect. Take care of yourself!
@infinitokens.com solving this problem, without needing to sift a baggie of keyword tokens, or using inaccurate and woefully-generic things to represent their board.
Like, it’s the most complex game on the planet. Show some respect for yourself and the people at your tables.

This is such a correct opinion. The most correct opinion I’ve possibly ever read.
We’ve got hundreds of ways to play our game, and I’m still adding to the list. 470, as of yesterday’s research stream.
It’s like going to the gym. Many formats makes for a comprehensive mental workout.
obsessed with this completely custom modern deck by my friend Domi
08.03.2026 10:24 — 👍 70 🔁 10 💬 4 📌 0I'm working on the list now, but overall, I think clerics are just fine with the restriction. There's a lot of low-cost recursion that brings huge value. I'll post here when I'm done.

The overarching theme is typal magic, and I'm fielding Ayli and Lurrus with clerics!
Lurrus is a huge restriction, but the value engine is easy to set-up with his ability in play.
A picture of me firing up the research companion and project stream. I’m in a piss helmet and you can see the three screens and boom microphone set up that I use.
I’m live on Girudo.com right now streaming the format compendium research project!
Link is in the next post!
Livestream is LIVE!

I am thankful for Magic the Gathering, for the opportunities it gives us to more deeply connect and support each other beyond the game at hand.
I'm looking forward to our upcoming Theme Deck match, and getting to have the conversation and contact that ensues. I can't wait to see Dork's promos!
Can't wait for the weekend and play my favorite game #mtg #tinyleadersreborn

Pinning for a couple days and reposting this, because this is the energy I bring to your cool ways to play.
I use my energy to connect ways to have fun with people looking to have them!
Next research episode is recording LIVE tomorrow, exclusively streaming @girudo.bsky.social.
We’re gonna wrangle the rest of the formats of Bluesky, then, we can go looking for some deets that aren’t so easy to find!
The stream is free! Just need to make a profile on Girudo.com!

I have a Pendragon deck that is getting infamous. It is led by Raven of Fell Omens and Caduceus, Staff of Hermes.
The staff is the opener and the closer, but the Raven runs the game with clerics that target & “prevent” damage to opponents creatures to drain players into a gritty, low-life endgame.
I had someone show interest in my Safari Game and I mentally snapped back to being salty that there’s no gorram Rindo Berry!
I need this symmetry. Why do TCG’s do this? I need cycles to be completed so that fans like me have complete sets of effects to use when crafting homebrew formats!
Here is where I have published my thoughts and notes on this game design. I’ve also got a discord for it, but it’s pretty much just me.
@safarigamewarden.bsky.social
I’m returning to developing the rules this year! Last year knocked me down, and I’m just now getting back up and on top of the hobby projects I’ve been neglecting.
For ease of play, I have to overlay rules onto a few trainer cards. Like, ball cards have dice pools, and circumstantial bonuses!
Neat idea with Egyptian Rat Screw! Reminds me of PokeCatch, which I adore as a fast-fun format that's very accessible.
That said, I love drafting PTCG. It was from making my draft cube that I was inspired to make my own Safari Zone format. It's a multiplayer deck-builder where you catch to win!
