I've been working on a Hama, the Bloodbender list. And in talking about it at the office, @jordanpigeon.bsky.social and I came to the realization that Hama returns the spell once cast to it's owner's graveyard.

This is my personal list for Toph, Hardheaded Teacher. I've gotten to play one game with it and it is gnarly. It feels likely that I will be powering her up for Bracket 4 games only. But want to play her a few more times before any major adjustments.

I had a ton of fun at the Avatar prerelease! My deck felt fast and consistent with a few huge bombs. Went Orzhov despite picking the Toph kit and it paid off!

Holy shit. We did it. I've never made Mythic before. And I did it entirely jamming Powered Cube.
This is the deck that crossed the finish line. Kitten has been an ALL STAR.

If you haven't watched the Extra Turns that came out today, you haven't heard that @commandcast.bsky.social has launched another Kickstarter! @teanwitch.bsky.social made us this sick set of playmats that I can't wait to show off! Comes in foil and nonfoil.

FINALLY got my ass to Diamond after seven wins with a moderate Izzet artifacts deck and this Lurrus pile. I've been very impressed with Lurrus in the Powered Cube.

I was so ready to throw this Powered Cube onto the fire and go again, but sometimes a slurry of busted cards drags you kicking and screaming to 7-2. lol

I'm working on a whole Toph deck for a future episode and she is SO much cooler than she looks. Honestly, this commander has me more excited than any in a long time.

A 'lands matter' deck for only $20? The gloves are coming off for this one!
I built a nasty, little deck with a Commander I've been keeping at arm's length for a long time (for good reason). But on this tight of a budget, SURELY she's not the problem at the table. 😉

No major changes to the Brackets this time, but we've been working on clarifying some of the ~*vibes~* around each Bracket, including adding "safe turns" and delineating expectations for decks, win conditions, and gameplay.
We've also removed tutor restriction from 1 & 2.

I've never been much of a budget builder, but recently I gave it a shot with Ellie and Alan and it was a ton of fun!

This is still very much a pile of cards, but I'm trying a goblin/artifact list, featuring Ultimate Green Goblin/Ruzic, Booed but Victorious in the command zone.

This is your semi-annual reminder that an Endless Detour can solve any problem and that 3-color cards are sick, but you have to remember to not default to 1-color staples while deckbuilding.
