How I feel about the campaign for hybridization of EDH, if I reduce everything down to a meme, feedback for @gavinverhey.bsky.social.

There’s more in the alt text.

IMO, if you are playing hybridized, it’s a new format.

The question for WotC is, what happens if you design hard for hybrid mainstream commander, and any significant percentage of players take to a democratic subformat that rejects it, like Canlander?

Do they take over Canlander then?

Inspired by @trash-artificer.bsky.social to try fixing my shit. Old ac blower was loud, new one runs real quiet!

I had to cut the old one out with a utility razor! The things I had to do to reach this were unthinkable 4 months ago, and physically impossible for me 6 months ago.

I wish more people knew how cool #MagicTheGathering can be!

@shoebox.gg is knocking. Have you thought about alter-art or proxy cards for your projects?

@bbsheps.bsky.social made one of my favorite cube concepts. Uploaded the whole thing to @cubecobra.com!

Okay. Can do. Probably gonna try to stay mono red. Immediately thought of one of my all time favorite cards.

I’m going to be very disappointed if the comp rules are different from the explainer on magic.com.

Look, I’m gonna build a Fire Nation deck and it’s gonna be LD on main.

You don’t have to play against it if you’re scared of a little Stone Rain, Rain of Rust, or Volcanic Offering.

Marinated chicken thighs, homemade yellow onion #curry, potato slices, #fresh #coriander, and jasmine rice. A little feta for some tang, but you could skip it.

Did the #marinade and curry in advance, so cooking the #rice was the only thing to stagger time for in getting the chicken done.

So good.

I’ve basically got office hours, so drop in sometime!

I’m not a huge fan of using the guilds or Tarkir tribes to represent this ability, but I was inspired by Hugmonger’s adoration for hybrid cards that mean different but powerful-enough things for “mono-color” deck construction, and my own love of spell-designs like Batwing Brume.

New Lorwyn card. Thought I’d take a stab at making it commander legal without changing the functionality of the spell.

The only difference is that color identity is derived from mana spent to cast it, and you can’t cast or evoke it without 2x w/b.

The Format Compendium Project is a huge undertaking. Over 120 ways to play, with new ones forming all the time nowadays.

Please reach out if you have a line on an obscure format, or if you are working on a new one! I’m still aggregating, so don’t hesitate to DM or reply!

I’m not making Vegas plans. Mostly, I’m good with not getting on a plane, with all that’s going on personally & nationally that even a full-ride wouldn’t cover.

The rest, is because I’m not near enough to who they want. I will apply for Atlanta. Meanwhile, I have projects in-progress for y’all! 🧵

We definitely reminisced on the ways Commander has been more strict with the ID colors, and how it led to shadow bands of Commander options that weren’t problematic to the format.

All this Earthbending has got me thinking that land destruction is gonna catch back on some.

We’re here for that, me and my bestie Natural Affinity!

Today’s #curry went well!

Just about a gallon made, between the sweet red onion curry sauce, and the yellow onion & coriander curry base.

Big tub of base will get frozen, one of the little sandwich tubs is already claimed by a neighbor.

Red onion experiment was a success!
November 5, 2025 at 11:03 PM
Well, that’s gonna mean that I more than double the recipe. That’s double plus a third, plus one gram.

Time to season it and finish the base, which is for saucing, marinating and/or simmering along with your featured staple ingredients, like tofu, chicken, potatoes and rice.

No filter enhanced this color just heat and sugar and time baybeeee

Oh man, the caramelization is getting to the good part!

So, a tip to save time in getting the pot of onions started faster:

Cut them into quarters, skin and root still on. Peel the outermost layer off with the skin and set it all aside in a bowl while you chop and fire the onions.

While the heat builds, clean those petals for onion chips or pickling.

This is what we’re working with:

Do you think anyone would be interested in bringing their food-themed decks to an Archenemy game, versus The Waffle Restaurant?

I’d put the waffles deck together and run it with an Archenemy deck, if there’s interest.

Ive also got a Rocco, Street Chef EDH.
