A few weeks ago, me and my wife made a stop at a small game shop while on a road trip to go see family. We weren't even in there to really buy anything, mostly just to poke around and look at the nerdy stuff.

The guy working the register asked us if we had ever played Magic. We both said no, (unless you count me playing one of the MTG games on the Xbox360 when i was like 8). The guy proceeded to launch into a little discussion about how its a great hobby to make friends or socialize, then he tried to sell us on a 2 pack of commander decks, i explain that money is tight for us and that we can't really afford to drop $50+ on games or anything like that. He understood and gave us a full color set of welcome decks, one of each color.

We kinda forgot about them until a few days after we got home, when i found them sitting in the bottom of my backpack, we busted them out and attempted to play a match while both of us barely knew the rules.

We had a blast just slamming cards down on the table and screaming at each other because we misread a card, forgot to tap/untap a card, or some other dumb thing.

Soon enough, it kinda became a daily thing where we would play a few rounds of magic before bed, and to be honest it's the most amount of fun i've had in years, and especially since we are going through a rough patch, im really grateful that a couple pieces of pretty cardboard could bring this amount of joy into our lives.

I think the hobby has consumed us both.

A 4/4 flyer for 4...with a built in gamble?

Don't know what flair to use

The August release reached the milestone with a smaller product lineup than comparable sets. The franchise posted record quarterly revenue of US$ 616 million.

Just got mutant menace for 50e, check out your stores.

I've realized just how lacking a bunch of creature types are whether its just in commander options or cards in general.
Sharks have 6 commanders and only 22 cards as a whole (what the fuck?)
Werewolves which I always saw as this parallel against vampires in Innistrad only have 5 commanders and 80 cards
I could've sworn Scarecrows would be more popular but they've got 4 commanders and 52 cards

What creature type do you think needs more commanders?

hey im sorta new and bad at making comander decka and have been shitted on of the decks i make and inwant to show the people who shitted on me that i can make comander decks and i want to know what are some cards that are needed for a atla palani deck

Hey guys, you've probably seen our project at this point. I'm happy to tell you that Essential Territories went live this Tuesday, and already got 69 (yes) backers. Thank you for those who supported us!

If you haven't seen this: we are a group of rogue artists from Lithuania (three of us play Commander), and we are making our very own full-art lands "Secret Lair" :D Everything is 100% human-made, no AI. The fifth "participant" is classical Lithuanian painter M. K. Čiurlionis (1875-1911), we also added 11 extra proxy non-basic staple lands featuring his work.

As always, any feedback is welcome!

I want to build another tribal deck and im stuck between elves or elementals. Ive only been playing magic for about a year now and dont have much experience with synergies or creature combos.

For those that play Hashatom, what’s your favorite thing to make a token copy of? Good, silly, doesn’t matter, let me hear!!

Love seeing these on marketplace

An LGS near me makes cheap commander decks for learning. I’ll get one occasionally and upgrade it with my bulk. Would a commander deck of Ivy be fun to play?

I’ve been looking into some precon decks just to have to run and I was curious about March of the Machines and if they are worth looking into?

UPDATE EDIT:

I was also looking at some edge of eternity decks as well, any thoughts or recommendations?

Serious question though…

Any tips for getting tix quick? My wife and I aren’t signing up for ticketed events and plan on just doing commander pop ups but I still think some one may know a few tips for maximizing tix for the prize wall 😏

As the title suggests anyone have any commanders or deck themes that dont do the same things each game and can end on with all sorts of weird or new situations to win when both playing with and against it

Rules Text:

Drain Life {X}{1}{B}

Sorcery

Spend only black mana on X.

Drain Life deals X damage to any target. You gain life equal to the damage dealt, but not more life than the player’s life total before the damage was dealt, the planeswalker’s loyalty before the damage was dealt, or the creature’s toughness.

I was building a Swarmweaver deck on Archidekt and saw alternate arts and realized all that changed between two of them was this thing in the background. Is this a character in Duskmourn or is this just a random easter egg they added? Do other cards have this?

Original card is 236 and this version is number 301

Starting an Orthion commander deck, what are some of the best creatures to make copy tokens of?

If I cast steel seraph as a prototype, will it trigger T'Challa to put two +1/+1 counters on itself? Thank you reddit!

A friend is gonna be hosting a reality fracture draft followed by some commander at his place this weekend. I made cookies last time, but the oily residue from the butter wasn't ideal with handling card sleeves.

Hit me with your go-to finger foods that aren't messy or will gunk up card sleeves. I enjoy cooking, so preferably something I can make myself.
