In one or two sentences, five words minimum, explain what card should be added to or removed from the ban list. One per person, none of this, "it's between *insert here* and *this other one*"

My entry:

Tolarian Academy - Make all of these lands game changers and encourage nonbasic land removal in play. It'll never show up in Bracket 1/2, but if I have to see one more Gaea's Cradle effect making someone 700+ mana off a Scute Swarm, I should be allowed to get some bonus mana off of my Myr's in the 99 of a Bracket 3+

I feel like this is the last thing MTG needs. I wouldn't mind if they turned down the life gaining for a set.

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?

Recently reorganized my collection and finally put everything into Moxfield, and the very last thing I put in was my old Gyruda Standard deck that morphed into a weird Pioneerish deck that obviously I can't really play with anymore. Forgot that I stuck these two cards in, and of course combined they're worth more than $200. Finding myself dedicated these days to not selling much or any of my collection unless I'm in dire financial straits, and obviously don't want these to just sit in a random deckbox. Is it conceivable to build Bracket 3 Sheoldred without becoming the archenemy on turn 0, or should I just embrace sweatiness and make a Bracket 4?

When I first started playing MTG, I was like 10 or 11, and this card was something I pulled. Recently some friends got back into MTG, and I read about this card and checked its price, and it was really cheap, which is surprising because personally it seems pretty good. But that's just my opinion. What do you think?

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

I have a question regarding the Jace, Multiverse Architect Precon Commander. A newbie friend of my bought the precon and is asking me to help her upgrading her deck. We're playing bracket 2-3.

But I struggle to understand how that deck is going to get stronger. I understand the general strategy. But isn't it super slow?

Jace costs 5 CMC. Starting with 4 loyalty counter. The card draw is +1 and the polymorph is -3. So you can only polymorph a creature every fourth turn. I don't understand how you can ever get strong with the polymorph effect.

Maybe I'm missing something

Would a appreciate help ♥️

Corrected: Sorry, it starts with 4 loyal counters.

Don't know what flair to use

CURSE YOU BAYLE!

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

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?

My girlfriend just mentioned to me that she wants a commander or deck that does Cascade and Storm, so she gets to copy spells then cascade into free shit. The most broken thing I've ever heard

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

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!

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 😏

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

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

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.

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

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.

Where I live I’m having to drive nearly 2 hours to find any modern events at all and even those are lucky to get 6 people. Is modern still popular in some areas? Or am I stuck loving a format that people just aren’t very interested in right now?

Commander is played legitimately like 5-6 nights a week and the people that play commander mostly say they literally have no 60 card decks at all.
