THIS DECK MUST BE DESTROYED

A #magic community deckbuilding project that attempts to capture the beauty in the fleeting.

Want to help me out? Get in touch here or on discord.gg/9nvVUKcnz9

And share this far and wide! I would love to see as much of the community as possible represented! 💚

THIS DECK MUST BE DESTROYED HELLO MAGIC COMMUNITY Forever decks are wonderful, right? Something that you fall in love with so much that it will hang around in your collection for years to come. Well, I've been throwing around the idea in my mind of what the exact opposite of a forever deck would be, a deck that, by its very nature, can only be played once. And ultimately the art piece/ thought experiment/ why the hell would you do this I settled on was this: a deck that no single person, not even me, fully knows the contents of. A deck that, upon being played a single time, voids its own premise for construction. So how would I do this? Well, that's where you come in. I am looking for 99 creators/ community members/ players to each send me a card for this deck. You will not tell me what the card is. You will sleeve it backwards in an opaque sleeve so even on arrival I do not know what it is. And you will not share it with anyone else. The second challenge is this. I want the deck to actually be legal, i.e, 99 card singleton with the exception of basic lands. Your challenge, if you choose to accept it, is finding a card that you are confident no one else will pick. Also I'll probably need lands so that makes it harder, and I won't actually know if this was achieved until the day it dies. Also the deck will be WUBRG and will have a generic enough Commander so that it doesn't matter too much what you send - think Progenitus or Child of Alara. The deck will also likely be very bad. You will also ideally sign the card/ include a note so I know who it's from, and super ideally record a little video alluding to your choice and why for inclusion in the video I'll be making about this in the future - bonus points for some kind of significance like the first basic land you ever owned, a card you've never seen anyone actually play in earnest, etc! Once the deck is assembled, it will sit, hidden from the world, until it is ready to be unleashed at an event (probably a UK Commandfest as I likely can't afford Magiccon though would love to be there), where it will be played once then immediately retired, with its founding principle having been firmly defeated. Sound good? My DMs are open x

Today we made a few changes (and shared plenty of thoughts) around Commander. There's a pair of articles up on the website, and I have a video covering everything.

What happened and why? What are we looking at?

When Sam A. Splaining asks you to spend all of his money on magic cards you kinda have to say yes

Had a lot of fun putting together these decklists, and the episode is great fun!

Give it a watch! 💚

Together, we raised over $600,000 for @translifeline.org this year. From the bottom of my heart, I'm so grateful. We have come together to say to our trans friends and family that they are loved and that they are not alone.

Trans rights are human rights.

When we gather together, we can make Magic.

We just raised $500,000 for @translifeline.org. If we can raise just $60k more before 10am tomorrow, we will have broken last year's record.

Most of the best deckbuilders I've had the pleasure to play against go against the grain and pick a more unconventional Commander, even for decks like typal decks.

This week I write about the benefits of thinking outside the (deck)box.

Most of the popular Commander decks are quite conventional when you strip back a few pet cards and the choice of what basic lands to run. Further still, the most popular typal decks are the very defin...

Traded for a Special Guest Whir of Invention off the back of @rhysticstudies.bsky.social's video - I didn't especially need the card, but I had to have it when I saw it

I was a massive fan of Sonic Citadel when it came out, as well as the artwork when this dropped, but never put 2 and 2 together

It can't be stressed enough: the framework for this travesty was been established & maintained by Tory, Lib Dem, & Labour governments.

If Farage wins power you must NOT waste time with "this never would have happened under Starmer" pissantry - it quite literally would not be possible without him.

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.

It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.
The Legislation Upon winning a general election, a Reform government under Prime Minister Nigel Farage will: 1) Leave the ECHR 2.) Repeal the Human Rights Act and replace it with a British Bill of Rights. 3.) Pass The Illegal Migration (Mass Deportation) Bill: This Bill will: Create a legal duty to remove illegal migrants for the Home Secretary The Bill opens with a blunt obligation for the Home Secretary: "The Secretary of State shall ensure the removal from the United Kingdom of each person who does not have extant leave to remain and is not an Irish citizen or otherwise protected by regulations made under this Act." The following parts of the legislation are introduced on an emergency basis, with an in-built sunset clause after 5 years: Disapply the 1951 Refugee Convention, the UN Convention Against Torture, the Council of Europe Anti-Trafficking Convention (ECAT) Derogation is justified under the Vienna Convention doctrine of state of necessity: Britain faces a national emergency in which uncontrolled illegal migration undermines public order. These treaties will otherwise be used by activist judges to frustrate deportations, even after the repeals of the HRA and ECHR. Create Detention Power Without Hardial Singh Constraints This means illegal migrants can be detained until they are deported. Activist lawyers routinely use Hardial Singh to secure their client's bail, after which the client absconds. If you came to the UK illegally, you are ineligible for asylum. End of story All asylum claims will become inadmissible if made by a person within the Act's scope. If you came to the country illegally, you are ineligible for asylum in the UK. This strips the Home Office, the immigration tribunals and the higher courts of jurisdiction to even consider claims. A claim that cannot be considered cannot suspend removal and therefore, cannot delay a flight. Re-entering after deportation and destroying ID becomes a serious criminal offence Re-entry after deportation will be… The Operational Plan We will create an enforcement unit called UK Deportation Command, including an Illegal Migrant Identification Centre - harnessing cutting edge data fusion A Reform government will create a cutting edge enforcement data centre to relentlessly identify and detain all illegal migrants in the UK. Using powers granted by the new legislation, it will automatically share data between the Home Office, NHS, HMRC, DVLA, banks and the police. It will power bulk warrants, including mandatory biometric capture during any police encounter. Each power addresses a failure mode observed over the past decade - for example, banks and GP surgeries unaware of a customer's status, or overstayers slipping through because a warrant covered only a single property. Secure Immigration Removal Centres (SIRC) will be built rapidly to detain up to 24,000 Detention capacity for up to 24,000 will be created within 18 months. The Home Office will build Secure Immigration Removal Centres. This will be modular accommodation built in remote parts of the country. Conditions are basic but not punitive: prefabricated two-person rooms, canteen catering, on-site medical suites. Robust perimeters and internal movement controls prevent escapes. This enables detention-on-arrest: no more bail. This capacity would allow for up to 24,000 illegal migrants to be deported per month. Initial Voluntary Return Window A six-month Assisted Voluntary Return window precedes large-scale raids. Illegal migrants will be offered a financial incentive to self-deport. An app will be launched to facilitate this. The Deportation Flights The Home Office will scale up charters to 5 flights per day. To guard against last-minute aircraft unserviceability, the RAF will keep one Voyager aircraft on six-hour 'hot-spare' readiness. If a commercial charter breaks down, detainees can still be flown out that night, preserving operational integrity. The legal reset will mean activist lawyers will no longer be able preven…

On a lighter note, I picked up the Welcome to New Vegas and Rad drops, so I guess I'm rebuilding Mothman (and maybe building Joshua/Isshin)

Do I revive my Slime Against Humanity (I own 35 copies) list or take it a different direction this time?
