Here's the deal,
@DragonShield_
. We want a line of DragonShield โจnaturalsโจ. Desaturate. Pretend you're a makeup line for a minute. Encapsulate heuga. Put me at peace while I play.
Here's a mockup.
One of the wildest successes of the Pokรฉmon games was finding out that in the post game of Silver/Gold, you got to reexplore the entire Kanto region and battle all their powered-up gyms. Why have they not circled back on that idea?
Let me remind you: Goad says, โuntil your next turn.โ If youโre playing a deck with blue doing goad stuff, donโt sleep on Chronatog Totem as a mana rock. You can catch some players in a real bind by unexpectedly skipping your turn and keeping things goaded another round.
Itโs turn 1 of a commander game. You have land, lotus petal, entomb, reanimate.
Whatโs the biggest wrecking ball you could possibly get onto the field T1, not knowing what your opponentsโ game plans are yet?
Hereโs the plan:
Step 1: create a food token
Step 2: turn the food token into a creature or land
Step 3: Cast Omo
And voila, youโve made your first everything bagel. Follow me for more quick baking tips.
Whatโs the first card you remember thinking was totally busted?
I will always remember sitting across from Vigor thinking this thing was absolutely unbeatable.
Thereโs this classic default that we (rightly) jump to when evaluating planeswalkers: evaluate the card assuming you will never get to use its ultimate.
But we also often let our often-correct defaults keep us from pushing limits and evaluating cards in new contexts. 1/
The year is 2024. I remain naively excited about cEDH as a format, but lack the time to mine into the 3000 cards released in the last 2 months. I sit in dread as my opponent reveals their textless Napoleon Dynamite as commander. What does it do? We offer cuts. Their deck is cake.
I think this card has officially won me more games of commander than any single other card and itโs currently down from $8 to $.50.
Note it doesnโt specify combat damage.
Well

Which Gen 9 starter is your favorite?
It bears repeating:
The spectrum of Commander players is wider than you think. Itโs much larger than your anecdotal experience on Twitter, spelltable, and even your LGS.
My regular playgroup includes players who own literal one upgraded precon and donโt know the RC even exists
An Atraxa Voltron deck that plays all the equipment that hold their own counters so she can make enormous jumps in power when she proliferates, and if she gets removed, the counters are still there when she gets cast again, like a big flappy Skullbriar.
Enormous life update: I quit my job.
The company was very opposed to remote work, and I have four little ones and a spouse still recovering from a broken hip. I canโt be gone 10 hours a day.
So if youโve wanted a commission, there has literally never been a better time ๐โค๏ธ
I keep realizing how the years since 2019 have been an absolute blur. Covidโs effects on the passage of time really hit us all.
Memories are foggy, social skills are rusty,
and the designers of our favorite card game misevaluated companions by THREE WHOLE MANA. HOW WAS LURRU
I genuinely wonder if the popularity of punk, pop punk, and emo was actually extremely healthy in the way it gave us a cathartic outlet for our emotions and proved we werenโt alone with them.
I had a very off-putting social dynamic at a cEDH tournament a couple weeks ago. I called for a judge and asked if I could ask them a rules question away from the table. Then just said, โPlayer x is just starting to make me uncomfortable, would you mind hanging around us more?โ
Some commander players are absolute loose canons. Throwing damage and removal around for unpredictable reasons. Itโs terrifying to play against.
Theyโre scary, but that doesnโt mean they win a lot. They just cause a ton of collateral damage while they lose. Terrifying.
If you ever want me to concede a game of magic on the spot, all you have to do is somehow get a copy of this card onto the battlefield under my control.
Brought almost my entire collection of cards not in decks to cash in for store credit at my LGS today. Itโs a new chapter in the way I engage with Magic.
Want to live the magic of opening up a Prerelease pack of MtGโs newest set? Iโll send this one to one random follower who RTs this post โบ๏ธ
If you open a sweet Rona in this box please donโt tell me or I *will* cry about it
I won a 100-person rock-paper-scissors tournament when I was in college. How?
I literally only ever picked scissors.
Some games I got lucky. But other games I won because it seemed like my opponents just couldnโt believe I would pick it again. But I did. Every single time. โ๏ธ๐ฅ
Played two games of pdh last night, totally sold on the format. Both were much faster than typical commander games (no boardwipes, lower life totals), and decks were much closer in power without needing to do any rule zeroing.
10/10, am already brewing again
