What's up, Bluesky? I'm Trentyn, and I am probably the biggest Talrand stan you'll ever meet.
This, is #TalrandPosting, the place where I show you my favorite deck: a $20 Talrand deck that I'm in the process of blinging out to it's fullest, most expensive form.
Welcome 💙

Damn...
$20 Talrand is only a dozen cards away from being 100% blinged out to it's most expensive form (except basic lands)
3 of these cards don't even have foil printings 🤣

I think I'm gonna Scryfall Random this shit with my partner this weekend.
We have basics.
We have a collection.
And for cards we don't have, we have InfiniTokens.

Momir Basic reduces Magic to hitting the random button, consequently revealing the game's most essential ingredient.

Cards I've been thinking about for various versions of Talrand A LOT lately.
Not that these would replace lands ever, but they'd let me keep hands with fewer islands and have way better upside in the late game.
Honorable mention to Sea Gate Restoration cuz that thing rules.

Last thing I'll say about ban discourse:
Love most of yall dearly, but anecdotal evidence (mine included) accounts for so little
"Rhystic isn't a problem outside bracket 3 because Game Changers exist" is such a crock dude
My LGS has ONE person outside of the TWO owners who know what a bracket is

I respect the hell out of Ken, and this 2-minute read is *extremely* well thought out.
I personally think the "the card is loved and iconic" argument from the article on Monday was already super flimsy. Ken's thoughts here solidify my own opinion, just way more tactful.

My favorite game is most often ruined by one card. That card is called Rhystic Study. So here are ≤500 words urging Gavin and the Commander Format Panel to ban it ASAP:
