OMG! Thank you so much to #WotC for this #MTGxFINALFANTASY #FreePreview! This thing really feels like it'll juice up Death's Shadow in modern, what do y'all think? 👀
The Tonberry Karma card from the Chocobo Tales DS game. It has sword on blue, shield on red, and the text is "{Sword Icon} <Rebound> If your HP is 7 or less, deal 7 damage."

Alright, I'm back from a nice long holiday break, and I decided to try something different this time. Instead of writing about a budget deck, I started on a series about the process of budget deckbuilding. Give it a read!

Commander Deckbuilding: The Budget Blueprint
Deciding on a Budget Hi everyone, and welcome to my new series: the Budget Blueprint. In each part of this series, I want to examine some facet of budget deckbuilding, in hopes that it might help you ...

Can someone explain to me why VR always gets lumped into these things? NFTs suck and are a scam, same with Web3, same with metaverse, same with GenAI. But VR is just actually cool. Like ???
antlervel.vet Stella @antlervel.vet · Jan 13
Look: The thing you need to understand about genAI is that every Next Big SV Thing of the last 15 years—NFTs, Web3, Metaverse, VR—has been utterly rejected by the market and the tech grifters know this is their last chance, no more. That’s why there is an apocalyptic level of capital invested in it.

Today's #MTG Commander deck is built around Shao Jun from Assassin's Creed! And I built the entire deck on a $1 budget. Read about it here:

The list is here for you to scroll while Flipside updates their site's deck view

Commander Budget Builds: $1 Shao Jun
I generally like to think of budget deckbuilding as an art. Building a deck on a $50 budget, or a $25 budget, or even a $5 budget has a certain flair to it that I think qualifies as its own art form. ...

Alright after a lot of thought, I'd say that the key card for this week's budget Commander deck is this unassuming little equipment. Any guesses on who the Commander is? 👀

HAPPY HOLIGANZA!!! I have been trying to afford my move to Chicago (and being able to quit my job) for the past full year. This holiday season I invite you to help me get my holiday wish, raising enough money to get there and afford living while I find a job!
A poster with a green background with the title, “Lexathon Stream-tastic Raffle-bration Holi-ganza”. Underneath that the subheadline reads, “a wonderful weekend of holiday fun, nonstop tabletop, a Strix U reunion, and a gigantic raffle! Your donations will help them get from Columbus to Chicago!” Beneath that it lists the dates of the streaming events, from Friday November 20th to Sunday November 22nd. On Friday it is listed that there will be Video Games, Holiday Music, and guests at 4pm EST. On Saturday morning at 10am EST, Magic: the Gathering, worldbuilding. On Sunday, in bigger font, the label reads, “Strix U: The Night Before Strixmas” at 1pm EST. Lastly, on the bottom eff of the poster, there is a small text that reads, “and a mutual aid raffle featuring some of the coolest people in TTRPG’s and Magic: the Gathering”. And to the left is the url for Lexi’s twitch channel, twitch.tv/blackgirlmage, and to donate early there is a kofi link. Ko-fi.com/blackgirlmage.

Hello! I wrote about my Rex, Cyber-Hound deck! It's a $5 budget deck, with the primary game plan being to make infinite mana with Pili-Pala and win from there. And yes, Transplant Theorist is a very important part of that combo. Give it a read!

I think broadly, there’s a perception of combo decks as being inherently in the realm of “high-power” EDH, or at the very least “high-cost.” Things like Thassa’s Oracle and Demonic Consultation spring...

Decided I want to show off a key card from each of the #MTG #Commander decks I write about!

This week's key card is...Transplant Theorist!

It may not look like much, but I promise this little guy is the glue that holds the whole thing together.

What do YOU think the deck's commander/theme is?
Transplant Theorist is a 2/4 Phyrexian Artificer Artifact Creature that costs 3 generic and 1 blue. It has "Whenever Transplant Theorist or another artifact you control enters, you may draw a card. If you do, discard a card." It also has "2: Put target card from your graveyard on the bottom of your library."

I've always had a weird thing against doing "engagement bait" posts but it clearly gets results so maybe I should start.

Black Friday is supposed to be a sin, it's a promethean theft, a bacchanal of commerce. You risk death for a TV that's $500 cheaper than it should be. This new version where you're guided by the hand to one of three products on which you can get a 10% discount is insulting by comparison.

I think I've just created the best deck that I have ever or will ever create. What a strange feeling.

Sometimes, you know you'll love a commander the first time you see it. Sometimes, though, you build a deck that you're a bit unsure about, but it quickly rises to be one of your favorites. And that's exactly what Delina did for me. Check out $25 Delina!

Modern Horizons 3 finally gave me the perfect commander, so I made a $50 budget deck around him! As a long-time Muldrotha player, this scratches that same itch, except I got to build around a specific card type. In this case, Sagas!

Check it out here: www.flipsidegaming.com/blogs/magic-...
Six from Modern Horizons 3. He costs 2 and a Green for a Legendary Treefolk Creature. He has reach, "Whenever Six attacks, mill three cards. You may put a land card from among them into your hand," and "As long as it's your turn, nonland permanent cards in your graveyard have retrace."

I wrote a lore story for Magic: The Gathering -- it's a noir Western called "No Tells," about a failed radical on the run from his past. The whole thing is lowkey trans, plus there's a little cactus man and a massive barfight. magic.wizards.com/en/news/magi...

⚠️ Doctor Who spoilers for the Star Beast: ⚠️

Sylvia talking to Donna about her memory loss was definitely a Silence in the Library reference, right?

"You had a bit of a breakdown, sweetheart. And then you got better."

Just like Dr Moon would say.
