@googlyeyesonmagiccards this is a travesty and a crime against magic the gathering

Well I've never milled someone out with my aggro deck before.

I was playing an Iroas deck against a Gitrog deck.

Iroas pretty much only kills by attacking.
The Gitrog player played Constant Mists every turn, meaning I couldn't deal combat damage.

I managed to win by putting a Helm of the Host on Etali, and attacking with an ever-increasing number of Etalis.

By the end I was exiling and casing 15 spells from OP's deck every turn.

Then they ran out of cards

Magic the Gathering card The Gitrog Monster
Magic the Gathering card Constant Mists
Magic the Gathering card Etali, Primal Storm

Also, by the end of the game I had basically my entire deck and OP's entire deck on my battlefield. It was dumb. I wish I'd gotten a picture.

Oh, also I had a Robber of the Rich stealing their cards too.

Anyone know a decent site to buy precon decks without scalper pricing?

Looking to pick a few up for at work. Preferably US based.

@ethanOS most anywhere you look will have decent prices on recent precons. If you buy the set, $40 per deck is pretty typical. If you buy single decks, the prices will vary some depending on the value of the cards inside. My preferred site is Game Nerdz, but most places should be similar. Avoid Amazon

Quick somebody tell Graha--oh, he's gotten nothing but DMs about this since it was spoiled? I see...

Wait, I think Comprehensive Rule 903.11 contradicts mtgcommander.net Rule 10?

xgranade,
@xgranade@wandering.shop avatar

At the same time, 903.1 kind of imports mtgcommander.net rules into the Comprehensive Rules.

903.1. In the Commander variant, each deck is led by a legendary creature designated as that deck’s commander. The Commander variant was created and popularized by fans; an independent rules committee maintains additional resources at MTGCommander.net. The Commander variant uses all the normal rules for a Magic game, with the following additions.

All that leaves me wondering whether abilities can reference cards from outside the game or not. Weird.

xgranade,
@xgranade@wandering.shop avatar

Reading about creature-only commander decks, now my demand avoidance is going into full overdrive and making me wonder if you could make a reasonably successful commander deck with no creatures whatsoever (e.g.: with one of the few planeswalkers that can be a commander).

xgranade,
@xgranade@wandering.shop avatar

@WizardOfDocs Both? But yeah, there's a lot of cute rules to WHO that might just be too cute?

@WizardOfDocs@wandering.shop avatar

@xgranade I did enjoy Doctor's Companion though
So much flavor

xgranade,
@xgranade@wandering.shop avatar

Emperor Oathbreaker would be somewhere in the range from mildly to extremely cursed.

@xgranade@wandering.shop avatar

I'm just imagining a planeswalker like Jared whose +loyalty makes creatures... just give a constant stream of tokens to your generals.

🥥 Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) auditioned for Real Housewives of the Republican caucus at last night's House Oversight Committee hearing.
The hearing was supposed to be about GOP attempts to hold US attorney general Merrick Garland in contempt, for reasons. 🥥

I think the one thing we have all learned from this years is that corporate controlled creativity, even when done by good people, isn't nearly as good as what people come up without that company overlord telling them what to do.

Let's continue to support the smaller folks of the industry. Those are the ones who still care about the hobby beyond just dollars.

So I'm not saying my Gisa and Geralf deck is an aggro deck, but it did get my opponent to 5 on only 3 lands.
(Note that my commander and most of the deck is 4+ mana)
Turns out, Gravecrawler, Diregraf Colossus, and Corpse Blockade are very good friends.

(Ignore the fact that my opponent played no relevant spells for the first 5 turns of the game).

Of course then I was still stuck on 3 lands and proceeded to die quickly.

And because I love this deck, I have about 10 foil double-sided zombie tokens that go with it

I feel like depth perception would be really key in a duel
