It's Crappy Commander Deck week on Shuffle Up & Play! Suggested by and quickly forgotten by none other than Arin Hanson and featuring Spencer Crittenden and Taalia Vess!

I've got a few more things in the backlog I'd like to bring over here, but I'm in a bit of a slump as for new projects. I've got some ideas, but always looking for new suggestions!
Rest in peace Sheldon Menery. His creation of #EDH had a huge impact on Magic as a whole and opened the game up to a lot of people that wouldn't otherwise be playing it. We are all thankful for your work.
Super fun draft night tonight! We had a going away party for one of the playgroup that’s moving away, so we drafted Dominaria Remastered and had some cake too.
Ended up in a WU blink deck feat. Triskelion, which was very sweet to pilot.
Vs Mono-White Enchantress(!!): 2-0
Vs UBR Control: 0-2
Vs UG Squirrel Nest Midrange: 2-1
DOM Remastered is sweet, and we had a good sendoff for the player moving away, since he took the 3-0 victory tonight too!
Also, snuck in a commander game afterward that I ended up winning with my “coin flipping matters” deck by flipping infinite coins, drawing my deck, and then getting there with Mirror March tokens! Was sick.
I sure am enjoying this purchase. Maybe one day I will learn to play #Commander , but right now just having new #mtg cards for the first time in a decade is something I am enjoying just as much as playing.
Someone working at Moxfield, TappedOut, or any deckbuilding website needs to start playing around with a way to rank/rate/evaluate #Commander decks.
EDHREC rankings are already available as part of @scryfall's API. Would it be that hard to start parsing that data in deck stats?
I know EDHREC rankings don't directly correlate to power level, but popular cards tend to be powerful. Knowing the average ranking of a deck's cards would be informative.
@weilawei
Yeah I don't enjoy commander. It's the only format where you need to worry about your deck's power level. No reasonable person would get mad at you for trying to win a game of modern for example.
This was the first pixel art proxy I ever made. I wanted there to be some stylistic companion to Sheepwave's Fetch Land series, and I thought this would be the easiest to pull off. It's been a long journey.

Feeling really good about not preordering any commander masters now that previews have started. It looks like a fun set, but not worth $20 per pack #magicthegathering
Ya know, the original dual lands are amazing cards, but a lot of the original artwork is just an empty field. Thankfully this lovely sunset scene exists!
Me: “…there was this one guy who would never say what he was doing when playing. Normally when you are playing #mtgcommander you announce what you are doing…”
My wife in a mocking tone: “I am now moving my witch into the third dimension…”
Just had a fantastic #MTGCommander game. I was playing Prosper Tomebound, and my opening hand was so good I just announced to the table we were gonna play archenemy now.
Played my commander on turn 2, attacked with Urabrask (the new one) on turn 3, and played Tybalt on turn 4 to steal the wheel-deck's Orcish Bowmasters and play it.
I was running on all cylinders and managed to get everyone below 20 life before they finally managed to board wipe and slow me down. #MTG#MagicTheGathering
