Also I need to get around to building my very niche pet deck around Diaochan. I'm so excited to drive completely bonkers table politics around this card. The main downside is that it's mono-red so you've got to do weird table politics while also burning everybody, lol
19.08.2025 23:12 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Wildsear, Scouring Maw. Legendary creature card from Bloomburrow commander. It's a 6/6 with trample, and enchantment spells you cast from hand have cascade.
Bello, Bard of the Brambles. Card from Bloomburrow commander. During your turn, your non-Equipment artifacts and non-Aura enchantments with mana value 4 or greater turn into 4/4 creatures with indestructible, haste, and let you draw a card if they do combat damage to a player.
My other main deck is the old Bello precon from Bloomburrow. I love it a lot (nostalgia as my first commander included), but I'm wondering what to do with it... Should I go harder on artifacts? Or should I try and build a Wildsear enchantment shenanigans deck??

A key difference here is that while either can be incorrect, the structure of Wikipedia *creates context* and the structure of LLMs *destroys context*
Wikipedia has linked sources and an edit history showing where information came from and who added it when
An LLM just generates text
