Had a game last night that has me wanting to propose an idea for a commander Archetype outside of Aggro, Combo, Control and Midrange and its almost commander exclusive.
The "Value" Archetype looks like a lot of Control decks in 60 card, but runs minimal or no interaction, instead just looping value

We are deeply saddened at the news of the passing of Magic legend Kai Budde. His achievements in the game and community go beyond what we could say in one post. Our thoughts go out to Kai's friends and family in this moment.

Pro tip: adding really hot, angry cinnamon to a chocolate protein shake gives it a dynamic, spicy Mexican chocolate flavor. 😋
…or gives it any flavor. 😂

The biologist in me adores this flavor text. It’s such a tiny detail of world building, making the story arc feel more impactful, as “the disaster” upends not just the characters, not just the societies, but the whole fictional biosphere.

There is unfortunately a LOT of homophobia, transphobia, racism, misogyny, and ignorance still alive and well in the Magic the Gathering space as well as other fandoms. Our job as a community is to keep these individuals out of spaces we create. Call them out when you see them. Be the change. ✊🏾

Did you know most of my artwork is done on paper?
If I was able to, I’d frame all my original pieces around my office and room. Unfortunately I can’t so I just store them all in a kinda ratty black art bag lmao
Here’s pic of me posing with some of the ones I’ve done 😎

As the world fills with billionaire-yes-men breathlessly assuring us that we must abandon the laborious pursuit of interesting things, leaving it instead to the machine, there is no better way to fight back than with the likes of boggarts with huge ears formed & piloted with great care.

20 years ago I gave a sci-fi book to a friend, and included a thematic birthday card alter as a bookmark. I find the binary code matched up with 0/0 very satisfying. 🤖

Was my Commander for a long time. Combo’d off with it one time by searching for Mirror Entity off of Nissa’s search-for-elves ultimate, making everything a giant Atog and feeding my entire board to Atogatog. Took the deck apart after that, for there were no more worlds to conquer.
Answer to yesterday’s #mtgtrivia question:
Atogatog. Randy Buehler, Odyssey’s lead developer asked me to design a cycle of ally-colored Atogs, I threw in an extra one I had made for Unglued 2.
