Me and King Solomon couldn't agree on who made a joke up so w-
my dad had a good joke about Theseus; i've changed it up a bit, but it's still a good bit
I’d tell you a joke about Icarus, but it’d fall flat

Daretti, Scrap Savant and Cadric, Soul Kindler.

Deck probably slaps and looks a lot like a RW Feldon
Your first commander and most recent commander are now a partner card like in March of the Machine! Who are they and what do they do? Mine are grimgrin and the council of four, which is probably an unholy mess. When you attack, op sacs a creature and draws a card, and you get a 2/2 zombie knight?

The best time to support trans rights was when you first heard about it. The next best time is right now!
The MtG Community has raised a lot for TransLifeline, but as much good as that charity does, its a US-based charity.

Would be really fucking cool if we could see a similar drive to help trans folks in the UK.

Please consider donating and share this to get eyes on it. 💪

A question for @johnnyohnny.bsky.social, how did it feel when the penny dropped and you realised you weren't just a free wheeling PC, but intrinsic to the story your good friend was trying to tell? Being a GM is a challenge, but so is trying to weave your character into an unknown narrative.

@rachelweeks.bsky.social this is the first time this has happened to me. Teval is basically a strictly better sultai Sidisi. I'm a bit of a spike but I love my Sidisi deck so much that I got Modfly to alter one for me. What do?

@edhrecast.bsky.social Hey, I had a cool challenge for Magar of the Magic Strings deck. Of the 4400 decks, only 7 play Norin, Swift Survivalist which is a travesty! The wording here means if your face-down spell gets blocked, you get to cast it anyway. So you can swing with much more security!

There's something really fun that I did this year and would recommend for keen deckbuilders:

I built a deck from scratch with all precon cards, to hang at precon tables.

Below, I'll go through some of the decision-making to build a deck purposely to play at lower power tables.

Time for one of my favorite articles of the year: my Commander Class of 2024!

This is my year in review: what I built, what was un-built, and what graduated to 2025.

Links to my Moxfield lists are provided, along with commentary on key cards.

Enjoy :)

Wotc is producing too many new *cards*. The big jump came in 2021, but with 6 standard sets, expect to see it go up again!

(Numbers from a fairly hasty scryfall search)

2020: 1,203
2021: 1,820
2022: 1,993
2023: 1,923
2024: 2,059
Do you think WotC is creating too many new Commanders each year, or is the huge number of new designs a boon to the format (as in wide variety of choice and options is a good thing)?

#magicthegathering
New Commanders

2019: 78
2020: 186
2021: 193
2022: 362
2023: 398
2024: 320

WotC said they were going to reduce the amount of new commanders last year. I'm not sure if we'll see it reduced to pre-2020 levels, but I do hope that it will come down more.

ok one more "how we do it on bluesky" re: "block, don't engage." it's not that anybody wants to tell you what to do -- it's that we collectively realized that this is what works. it works really great! zero, zero response needed. just block! don't argue at all with dickheads! try it! you'll see.
