Can't wait to see this video. A 4 player game of riftbound with the spike feeders will surely feel out the game

My brother in law (who's just getting into magic) has a really cool Neriv deck that uses myriad tokens with double damage from Neriv! This is a big Timmy AF bomb but we play in bracket 2 and let's some pretty fun stuff happen when you have stupid creatures entering 3× and burning everyone!

Literally my favorite card in my wingspan inspired birds deck. Classic Azorious control, tuned for bracket 2. I get to run shitty cards that make my heart go "Doki Doki" when they resolve. If I got my dingus egg on the battlefield, I'm having a good time!

Another banger by the the Archetypical Johnny.

It's such a fun limited environment right? My wife and I went last night and we were gushing about how interesting (and a little weird for her as a newer player) stations and warp felt. Plus void is sooooo sick!

I'm so jealous! How did the place feel?

And thought "yea this is just the philosophy post we have on the website but reworded. That's fair, I just thought it was an interesting step in the direction of what it means to ethically engage with the format by acknowledging what the format is and what it's "soul" is first.

275! Congrats! You've made a great body of work and I pray there's more to come! Even as a member in the community you are a positive force in the greater commander (and this nerdy ecology we all live in)! You and your effort are seen and appreciated<3.
