p.p.s. @williambibbiani.bsky.social Sleepaway Camp 2 is a ton of fun. Had to program it after Ernest Goes to Camp because of this sick tshirt from Fright Rags.

Oh I'm a happy camper!

Bonus: look at this fucking guy

Nils kept me alive for the start, let me sit in the shadows and influence the game, and then some big splashy cards came in late to help get me across the finish line. I was so happy to finally get a win at this con, even though I was now 90 minutes late to dinner.

But remember that Sword of the Animist and Felidar Retreat I have out? Go to attacks, have to kill David because he has a Cyclonic Rift in hand he’ll cast when he untaps. The sword gets a land, triggers landfall, pumps my attackers, and I KO David. Shawn takes a shot at me, but I KO him next turn.
March 23, 2025 at 4:12 PM
Shawn and David can tell I’m a problem now, David swings at me with a big shark while my creatures are tapped, but I cast Inkshield, make 8 inklings, and in end step make 8 spirits. My board goes wide. Shawn builds back on his turn.

I think I can win on the spot, but Dress Down blanks Shadrix
March 23, 2025 at 4:12 PM
Turn gets back to me and I casually play out Thalisse, something ive been holding onto for a while. She makes some spirits on my turn. I KO George here after he’s set to 1 as payback for the day before (he went from 1 life to winning after KOing me, we were both good sports about it)
March 23, 2025 at 4:12 PM
George goes to attacks, swings a big boy at me, and I casually cast Teferi’s Protection to not take 8 damage. This turned out to be the best TP I’ve ever cast. George casts a BW to clear things down…but my cards are fine. David casts another, still fine. Shawn has passive damage, but I’m fine.
March 23, 2025 at 4:12 PM
Somewhere in the game, Jake gets KOed, George has assembled a scary board, and Shawn and David both have Shark Typhoon making their boards go wide.

I know I need to walk a fine line through here, but I also need to just spells.
March 23, 2025 at 4:12 PM
I get enough mana to get Shadrix out, and he’s throwing counters on entire player’s boards, which Nils keeps from attacking me.

I get some more cards out, but I’m still struggling. At this point I need to hold mana up for protection, so I can’t get my Sword equipped, but I’m alive. Nils isn’t.
March 23, 2025 at 4:12 PM
And I wasn’t particularly scared of removal, because Jake has lightning rods with Voidwalker and Gonti, and I’m making everyone’s stuff bigger. George has a few manifests out and I happen to buff up the one who turned out to be Bonny Pall.

Nils let me chill and just build quietly.
March 23, 2025 at 4:12 PM
I can point to three cards that won this game for me. 2 you can probably guess, but the one I want to highlight is a rare tucked inside the precon from years ago.

Nils Disciple Enforcer is underplayed in commander.

Getting him out on 4 and buffing my opponents kept me from getting hit
March 23, 2025 at 4:12 PM
I also kept a questionable hand, 2 lands and a signet, but a Sword of the Animist will get me all the lands I need…right?

This game I had so little mana. I had a bunch of misplays, bad timings, and struggled to get the cards I wanted out when I wanted.
March 23, 2025 at 4:12 PM
David next is playing Runo Stormkirk, Shawn is playing Tatsunari Frog tribal, and last is Jake playing Gonti. Jake quickly becomes a target thanks to Dauthi Voidwalker keeping graveyards empty, but the table just can’t seem to find a removal spell.

Next day, following a 5 player pod where my Kynaios and Tiro deck that I’ve talked about before tied for 4th at the table, I ended up in another 5 player pod. To my left is George, who I met the day before and had a great loss against. George is playing Zimone lands

Lifegain didn’t get another turn with this board state, the three of us teamed up to quickly pick apart his board, me by Despark-ing the citadel (thematic after all). From here the game evens out for a while but I’m struggling to keep a board around for long.
March 23, 2025 at 4:12 PM
Lifegain gets a HOT start and hits a turn 3 Bolas’s Citadel, allowing him to cast a ton of stuff for free off the top of his library. I felt upset at how quickly things started (he’s playing a 4 after all) but having the pregame convo and the rest of the table having good decks evened things out.
March 23, 2025 at 4:12 PM
First game a player from NJ sat down with only tier 4 decks. He was playing a Lifegain deck, next player was on draw damage, and the last was on extra upkeeps.
March 23, 2025 at 4:12 PM
I got to play the deck twice this weekend at a local anime convention. It’s my first time playing at a con and playing with the bracket system. Without changing things, Silverquill is a tier 3 deck with 1 game changer. Most players were playing 3s, which I think is the sweet spot for EDH.
March 23, 2025 at 4:12 PM
Time for another thread talking about a Commander deck and why I love it.

The deck I’m most proud of building is Shadrix Silverquill. He’s an Elder Dragon who is the founder of a college of Magic in a larger university. Their mascot are Inklings, feisty little blobs of ink that fly.

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve watched something new, but @paganinihorror.bsky.social and I made it out to Philadelphia Film Society for the Mahoning Road Show for a gritty city double feature. Looking forward to seeing two movies on 35!

Drove past the discount theater in York for the first time in a while. They closed down early last year.

This face now stands as the only reminder that this was once a movie theater.
