Space Base is so good! Whenever someone in my house dares invoke the word "Catan" I take this badbox of the shelf.

Have you tried 1920 Expeditions? It's like a steam powered deckbuilding game in a world of electric ones. And it looks gorgeous.
Semi-related; "Mind Bug" and "Radlands" are great and could be fun for an episode of "Is This Your Card?". They both play like single-purchase TCGs.

Sometimes after brewing I see the amount of different tokens I need to carry with the deck and I just click delete on Archidekt. I refuse to play decks that copy things anymore, as well as decks that will fill up my playmat too quickly.

Maintaining a clearly readable board state is difficult enough for some people as it is, but with the increase in game pieces that aren't represented by cards (think counters, tokens, speed, daynight etc) lots of players don't make an effort to collect those as well. 1/2

It's not just the powercreep, unfortunately. There's been a lot of changes over the years, but nowhere near as abundant as the last couple of years. Also, the whole "It's so cool to hate on ____!" mentality.

Bracket 2 is all I prefer to play, but it's not just power level. It's also the overabundance of wordy card design that has been putting me off from games. And I hate being negative, as that's one of the things that also impacting my enjoyment, so I was a but conflicted about writing this down.

Fun fact; I switched Ryusei to Rakka Mar when I learned that it's trigger wouldn't go off when he went to the commander zone. Fun fact number two; I used to the call the command zone the "General Area". Yes, this was all in 2009/2010.

Commander starts to really not feel like commander anymore, to the point that Star Wars Unlimited's multiplayer variant Twin Suns feels more like Commander, to me, at my LGS.
I've been playing Commander since it was EDH in 2009 and I'm a bit sad at what it's become. Hope it'll improve in the future.

Shagatar? More like Shagndalar!

The reserved list. Or, at least, my first "real" encounter with it.

Ohh, one of my old serotonin buttons that I've lost, thanks!

Wheeler: The Benjaming

Yeah, very likely... I started playing Twin Suns last weekend after looking at the MtG release calendar. Don't get me wrong, I'm really looking forward to both Lorwyn Strikes Back and The Turtles Menace, but that's going to take forever for it to come out, and SWU is all shiny and new.✨

...and Creature Commandos!!

Thanks!! It's a lot of fun to play. Runs pretty well for bracket 1, too.

This is one of the 19 cards that aren't from the Spider-Man boosters that I've put in my "Pictures Of Spider-Man" deck and it's just amazing in there.

Tested the deck out today, it was great!! Only played my first game of Twin Suns three days ago (wednesday), deckbuilding is is really easy and intuitive for this game (mode?).
