Tonight's deck, and tonight's tokens, a set of Hollow Knight and Silksong @infinitokens.com Insects for Grist to summon - she's no Radiance or Grand Mother Silk, but in Hollow Knight's world we all know Grist would be a Higher Being 😈

Probably Atraxa - she was my Golos-replacement service for running Gates after my favourite roaming robot boy got banned.

I also wrote about her death in a story that connected her to the other angels of the Multiverse, so I guess I think she's cool!

The full rules aren't finished yet, but the general gist is that players start with a planelocked pDH deck (Ravnica + their plane of origin) and then each month earn EXP to upgrade and update their decks and decide on which plane they're fighting me / The Outsider next

Not a deck, but a "format" (if that's the right word) - my 2026 commander league for @warroomedh.bsky.social's discord, BREACH THE MULTIVERSE.

I ran a budget upgrade league this year but in 2026 I will be DMing a TTRPG/EDH fusion where players band together to defend a fractured Multiverse

What perfect album came out when you were 16?

Maybe one of the easiest of this kind of question I've ever seen. 2008 was an absolute belter of a year for no skip rock records.

2025 gaming backlog 43 - Detective Grimoire (PC)

A thoroughly enjoyable first entry into the franchise, though it's odd playing it after Tangle Tower. Looks and sounds wonderful and I enjoy the simple mystery at its heart, but the puzzles are a bit limp.

It's a sweaty game of EDH tonight as some new ATLA decks get tested - I'm on Bumbleflower SuperFogs vs Sokka Allies, Azula combat control and Ellivere Auras!

2025 gaming backlog 42 - Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade (GBA)

The first FE to make it to the EU, and one I've wanted to beat for decades. Absolutely excellent story and writing, but good grief is it hard! Definitely a great tactics rpg, and holds up beautifully.

That was a super fun game! Congrats to @chronomagistrate.bsky.social on holding out and finding the win with legendary Vampires!

Left: the 20 random spells for Myra today.
Right: Tonight's @infinitokens.com, all 1/1 Elementals from Young Pyro and (mostly) doodles of REV and NEO Mountains

We're mainly watching Cryptic test his Erinis deathtouching pinger deck at the minute 😅 I'm on Myra spells vs. Gisa Zombies, Licia Vampires, and Erinis / Street Urchin control/lands.

"Midnights" was the other big one for me. I have a real soft spot for synthy 80s throwback pop, and although Swift doesn't do my favourite example in this scene (that's still Dua Lipa), it's still a banger record.

3/5

Top of the pile is unquestionably "folklore". I don't think I've ever heard an album capture the listless, floating and otherworldly detached feeling of living through lockdown in quite as perfect a way as this. Genuinely a must-listen indie-pop record.

2/5

I like making my mind up about artists, so over the last month or so I decided to listen to every Taylor Swift album and naturally put them in a handy-dandy tierlist.

Obviously not a comment on her - after all, she's a billionaire and that is morally indefensible - but hey, her music is okay!

1/5

Just done Chapter 18 in Fire Emblem. I was on a clean deathless run right up until here but when a pegasus knight joined and then immediately died... nah, just can't be arsed to restart for you, sorry knight whose name I've already forgotten 😅

In addition to my cool boots and dresses I also got this as a joint birthday / anniversary present from my wife - my wedding ring no longer fit so my wife bought me a new one and a paired "engagement" ring since I never got one 🥹

Random card / The Commander (and the flip side of the Commander)

You know who wants to be really, really big but can still be successfully blocked, thwarting your evil plans? And, who would probably love to run a Yavimaya Cradle of Growth?

That's right, it's the big treeboi himself, Exdeath!

Cheating a bit with this one because uhhh moxfield.com/decks/pIsPjI...

It's a long retired list these days at least to be fair XD

Here's my suggestion - a highly underrated pairing with only 19 decks on EDHREC. Use Durnan to find creatures with powerful ETB effects, then use Convoke tech or simply turn sideways to get them tapped, allowing you to flicker them and retrigger their ETBs!

#Tokentober - hastily scribbled not an artist edition

Day 31 - 1/1 Fish

Some planes, of course, were left untroubled by the changing Multiverse. Deep beneath calm waves Bob trotted along after work, blissfully unaware of Phyrexia, or planeswalkers, or the schemes of dragons and moths.

Day 30 - 3/3 Beast

He breathed out, and let himself go. Before his eyes, thin wisps broke off, swirling into the mists. Bit by bit, he dissipated into Nyx, until all that was left was an eye, wet with tears, painted into the sky.
