Okay so apparently a small minority of people within the Magic the Gathering community (specifically the woke crowd), who nevertheless command a disproportionate amount of influence over it, have decided that the term "tribal", usually used to refer to decks that revolve around a single creature...

If you're looking for someone who isn't woke who talks about Magic the Gathering on Youtube, I recommend MTGLoreseeker. He focuses mostly on videos about the lore of the franchise; but he also makes shitposts, rants about how Wizards of the Coast are woke jerks running the game and its lore into...

Was looking up ways to clean black spots on old cards, and came across this video: After using this method on an old Savannah card from Revised I have, it looks good enough to play with; almost pristine in the right light, in fact, aside from minor indentations here and there, and some wear...

Fair enough; you're not wrong. I suppose what surprised me was how insidious and widespread the attitude was; with people arguing that one shouldn't start learning how to play Magic The Gathering using the Commander format, because it doesn't teach you how to play other formats. The thought that...

By the way; the more I dig into the MTG community, the more I notice there's a certain amount of toxic disdain festering for the Commander format and the people who play it. I've seen people saying its existence as a format is a cancer on the game as a whole, that those who like it are idiots...

Anyone else watch the Dominaria United reveal day stream? Apparently the "Priceless Treasures" rumors were true; they "found" some pallets of unopened Legends boxes in a warehouse somewhere (which personally I don't buy), and are going to be inserting the cards from them into Dominaria United...

Anyone spend much time on the FreeMagic subreddit? It supposed to be an alternative community for those who take issue with how woke Wizards of the Coast, Magic The Gathering, and the community surrounding it have become, but it feels like half the people who post there are regressive leftists...

sfdebris recently release the latest video in his series on the history of Magic The Gathering. It's a pretty fascinating watch, if anyone's interested.

Ah, so no packs or anything of any major value. Still, you should be able to get some use out of those cards. Maybe even make a Cube.

Wow. What do they have left?

Supposedly it's because "Stone Throwing Devils" is a derogatory term for Muslims; particularly Palestinians: https://abcnews.go.com/International/palestinians-throw-stones-reporters-notebook/story?id=55200067 The fact that this association was made because of events that happened years after the...

Been designing a simple and straightforward Jasmine Boreal Vanilla Tribal commander deck to use as a teaching tool for my mother (who has never played Magic: The Gathering before), and I came across this nonsense on Moxfield. It seems to run everything it can to drag all the other players down...

Thankfully there's been some pushback as of late; though only in companies who have actually started losing more money than the investors were comfortable with. Sadly, with Magic the Gathering posting record sales figures last year, Wizards of the Coast has a bit to go before they're in danger...

Ones who think they're "on the right side of history"; though, to be fair, that mindset is depressingly common in the corporate world theses days. Too many aren't actually interested in turning a profit, and are just in it to turn once marketable products into propaganda that pushes their ideology.

I assume you're also including a lot of ways to make it easier to deal combat damage with her, and make it harder for your opponents to get rid of her.

Even if nobody takes the bait, it's still a way to get a utility land out on the field, like Rogue's Passage or Wirewood Lodge; which is rare. That alone seems worth the converted mana cost of four, especially in a deck with a lot of mana dorks.

That does look like fun; oh, and it lets you search for any land, not just basics? I think I can justify putting that in the deck, alongside the other land ramp cards I already had; Bounty of Skemfar, Harvest Season, and I suppose technically Myriad Landscape.

It already has a lot of ramp; just mostly in the form of eleven mana dorks (several of which produce mana equal to the number of elves I have on the battlefield), one elf that searches for a basic land and puts it on the field tapped, and another that untaps a forest (which also has other uses...

The one card that I have in there that I know is questionable is Eyeblight's Ending; it's only there because it fits the theme of the deck, despite being an objectively worse card than others, better cards that can do the same thing, but cheaper or in addition to something else. The only thing...

So I've been working on my next two decks for Commander, a Green/Black Elf Tribal & Tokens deck, as well as a Red/White Dwarf Tribal & Vehicles deck, and I think I've managed to get them to a point where they're at least decent.
