Magic, 40k and DnD player. Behold, the Ur-Nerd!
Sunbird’s Invocation is mine! I’d kept up with Magic since the early 2000s but never had the money to play in paper until 2017, my first prerelease stamped foil was this card.

My favorite thing to do in Magic is get stuff cheaper, circumvent costs and cheat things into play. This card might be why.

I’m on a road trip, can somebody help me find what #mtg mountain this looks like?

Black is my least played color, with Red being my most played and almost tied with white, then followed closely by blue and green. I enjoy focused decks that limit deckbuilding and let me play cards I enjoy in multiple ways.

Thanks for reading the rant! #mtg #edh #commander

Final results/observations: I play strategies that get big effects with reduced costs, compounding value strategies based around recursion, and decks that care about the multiplayer element of commander. I like to play defensively, and only make moves when I can guarantee results.

Finally on Green: I don't like it for enchantress. Green has a ton of benefits for enchantment decks, but I think the card quality being so high is a detriment, that it subconsciously directs towards Green's strategies, which tend to be drawing cards, gaining life, and buffing creatures.

I fear Naya has an overreliance on creatures that is hard for Red and White to actually capitalize on, a point where normally a strong green base would prop the deck up.

Of this, Marisi is an outlier, since Naya would assumedly be the best of all worlds for my favorite color combo, but I've never gotten enough "glue" to make the cards fit together in a way that isn't missing something.

Maelstrom Wanderer gets staying power and ramp from Green, but Green is mostly there because it's a source of high quality cards. Ruric Thar gives a better base for creatures-only strategies in ways Red would normally crumble, but the mono-card type strategies I enjoy are usually artifact-based.

Green is used as a sort of stabilizer, as I think it's probably the strongest of all the colors I play on their own. I've always found a way to get green decks to do basically anything, so whenever I play green, I'm usually leaning on it for support for other colors that are more fragile solo.

Black only comes into play for my decks when it gives me something another color can't. I've basically been playing reanimator without black in every cheat deck I build, but Black as a color has use in the "group slug" style of deck I enjoy, as well as the graveyard synergies it provides.

Green and Blue tend to be my choices for decks that want big, Timmy effects for lower rates, with Red providing some other large fodder as well when it gets added to Maelstrom Wanderer.

A lot of my focus for decks with Red tend to be around noncreature synergies and strategies, like Osgir and Quints, but that also combines with my tendency to build into the multiplayer aspect of the game as well, since Red and White are typical forced combat colors.

Been going through edhrec for each color combo and who I have/most likely want to build for that color. Some were no-brainers, like Goreclaw or Imoti being my choices for Green and Simic, but everything left blank is a color that didn't really grip me in terms of commander offerings.

Time to treat posting a little seriously! 1/?
Found a template for this challenge, while I'm not interesting in building that many edh decks, it helps me observe some interesting things about how I build and my play styles.
