It's intriguing to analyze the development in Universes Beyond mechanic design and how that's changed over time

Have you noticed this shift?

To honor the channel, I will move away from the name we built together, Friendly Rivals, and rebrand in the coming weeks to a channel that I’ll spearhead

Friends, I have an update regarding our channel @friendlyrivalsmtg.bsky.social

@hsmaskman.bsky.social and I have decided to part ways on the channel. It wasn’t an easy choice at all and there is no bad blood or animosity.

Imagine having the new Ashling as your commander:

T1: land
T2: land, cast Ashling
T3: land, transform Ashling, cast a 4 drop
T4: land, cast a 6 drop

So my question is, what is your favorite izzet 6 drop??

It's Friday! Time to share a deck!

Here's Pantlaza! This deck was the result of a twitter poll to make a deck around Quintorius Kand. That inspired me to utilize Pantlaza in a way I had not seen - blinking him for his own Discover trigger. You won't see nary another dino here!

Commander has SO many fun ways to build decks

Unfortunately , these two ways have NEVER felt fun to me…

Is this new Marvel card absolutely broken?

We're unsure, but it is a DAMN good card and bound to be a staple piece in nearly any reanimation deck.

I had so much fun making this video!

The rule surrounding card names can be so murky when things begin to interact - so I hope this helps literally anybody out there!
👀 NEW VIDEO ALERT 👀

MTG has some fun rules interactions

But some of them, without context, can feel so difficult to figure out

Today we tackle more cloning shenanigans and clarify a rule so simple, that it's easy to entirely overthink it!

Recently, there’s been a big discussion around cEDH and when it became so prominant

Some have said it’s because of whiny casual players and “fun police”

Others say it’s hard to manage four players’ expectations and cEDH just alleviates that

What do we think?

Most of us have seen the “when did everything become cEDH?” video and subsequent stitches.

So…what’re your thoughts?

Is everyone just playing high level or cEDH now? Is that hyperbolic?

Where do your experiences land?

With Standard Bans, upcoming rotation and Final Fantasy, we had to ask...what could Edge of Eternities bring to the table?
