    Every fandom is filled with people who hate others for no good reason. Many are SJWs, others just are stupid purists, etc. Some EDH players hate cEDH, etc. Given that mtg has to make cards that don't format warp EDH as well now, there is some credence, but not much.

    It should temporarily hit the prices of legends, so maybe grab something that'll be slightly cheaper while you can.

    Yeah. Now this is a tentative. The guys looking at someone else who might buy for higher. I figured I could justify it at 1k, not any higher. But I think there's a decent chance. Regardless, I just bought about 400 dragon shield inners for about $10 bucks there, along with a bunch of other half...

    About 2k of bulk, and about $2k of cards worth >$2. With inflation so high, figured I'd invest some into this, then sell after inflation gets back to normal. Can also turn it into quite a few decks, which should be fun.

    Considering buying out a store. They are going out of business, and I offered a grand for what they had left, so we will see.

    Haha! Man, I love it. It's classic white: NO, stop having fun! Anyway, I pulled a (few) Miiryms, and decided to put together a quick jank commander deck using all the clone creatures I had, to get way to many Miiryms:

    Yeah. Also things that give it to an opponent, so they get the lose the game trigger.

    So I'm currently designing a janky Phage commander deck. For those who don't know, Here's Phage: Now that sounds like a great commander, except, well, you generally cast your commander from the command zone, which would put a "you lose the game" trigger on the stack. So I'm going to fill my...

    Yeah, it's tons of fun. Obviously, the 'correct' play is for other players not to take it, but that's no fun, so people are going to take it. You play commander to play cards you normally wouldn't. Remember that they commit to their decisions in turn order starting with you, which can be fun...

    Ah, missed that about the harbringer, sorry. But I would say that you probably need land ramp, especially when in green. You will get boardwiped when you have a bunch of manadorks and look scary. It will kill your dorks, but not your lands (land destruction is taboo). You want to get back to...

    Yeah, Eyeblights Ending is something I'd cut. There are many better removal spells. Also, it's a pain if you are facing an elf commander too. If you want to go off theme, I'd add more board wipes and 2 mana manarocks/ramp. If you are playing green, ramp. Every non-green battlecruiser deck...

    They look like a lotta fun! I gotta make a battlecruiser deck too! Those are really the best. Currently I only got one, a Yuriko, that's going more and more cEDH, which is good for when I can play it as it finishes quickly (win or lose), but bad for going to play commander casually. Really like...

    Oh, it's a fair enough mechanic, it's just not all that good, which is (IMO) the real reason it's dead.

    Lol, banding theme. That would be hilarious, I need to see that. It's like running Drevi Bird Tribal, but jankier!

    Fortunately, land targeting is really not a huge thing people do until the completive scene, which is nice, but people will target your manlands while they are creatures. Still, that seems like a hilarious deck! I assume you are also running the gates for the alt win con? It's rare, but you...

    It really depends on how you are doing it. Making a jank commander deck is fun. You don't have to have the best deck, just one that does fun stuff. People who play a lot will have commander decks at multiple power levels. Also, it's always possible to play a cheaper format (like pioneer), and...

    In MTG's defense, if you bought a single card in 1993, it's now worth probably $10 to a couple thousand, depending on the card. This shouldn't be too bad. Most towns have at least one local game store, and everyone's got a commander deck. I'd be willing to play too (there's a way to play paper...

    The thing is, magic hasn't done a whole lot and players are rather removed from WotC choices. Only some actually read the lore (which is usually badly written), and the card art stays good. The banning of the cards has been the only actual game impact to people, and that was a relatively minor...

    lol, yeah, this had to be the stupidest one. There are black (by race) white (by card color) creatures, like Crovax, Ascendant Hero. Honestly, of named black characters (there's a fair bit), only 2 have a black card color. And this was before it started going woke and dumb. Seriously, Magic had...

    WotC actually has a ton of product lines. They own Dungeons and Dragons, for example, and a bunch of well known board games like Axis and Allies, Diplomacy (my favorite game ever and a great way to lose friends, lol), Betrayal at the House on the Hill, etc. On top of that, they are owned by...
