Izzet Phoenix deck got triggered and scooped when I killed two Cori-Steel Cutters with Silverback Elder, even with a Treasure Cruise in hand and more than enough graveyard fodder.

That’s so funny— I got a message Monday from an old Magic friend who’s living on the other side of the country that mentioned Lurking Predators 😂

My two favorite characters from ATLA are Toph and Iroh, so these are the two new decks I'm definitely building (have already started pulling cards for 'em). How about you? #MTGxATLA

This feels like a sneaky Lorwyn Eclipsed plant. Leads me to think 2 possibilities:
1. Changeling ability is to be changed to include all non-Human creature types.
2. More likely, there will be a new spin on changeling where the creature is all the major Lorwyn types to tie together typal synergies.

Jeff Bridges brings to mind two under-rated movies I found quite good that I never hear anyone bring up-- Fearless, and The Door in the Floor.

It seems unfair that the snooze button is large and enticing and SO EASY to hit, while the “ok I’m getting up” button is tiny and hard to see 😂

While I have a ton of #CMDR decks, I also have decks for alternate CMDR-ish formats too! If you're looking for a fourth to round out your pod for Oathbreaker, @pendragonmtg.com, @clovermtg.bsky.social, or pilotmtg.bsky.social hit me up!

YES! I was a fan of Throwing Muses and loved Belly even more. I loved that debut album along with King. They have a new(ish) album, you should check out these songs, especially Stars Align!
