Hey guys, I am a fan of the new set and would like to know from the people that are within the same boat what they love about the new set or what they are mostly excited about. I am missing such threads beside all the hate.

For me I am really interested how the landfall will work as well as how good the Klingons Precon matches for our commander games.

//Edit: threw out the part being negative about people that complain about the set 🖖🏻

Title says it but I’ve wanted to upgrade my precon with only in-universe cards

What would you cut? And what would you add?

im wanting to buy this pre con but looking online it's over 200 dollars?? wtf. is this price going to stay like that or will it come down why is it so expensive man 😞 i just wanna play with squirrels.

are they all this expensive? prices in aud

edit: ohh i see ok thanks everyone im a newbie and like critters so bloomsburrow caught my attention. i saw the rabbit one for sale last year and thought about getting it but didn't, now i wish I did 😔 if anyone has any deck recommendations lmk but sigh ok thanks everyone

edit 2: im Australian guys!! I do appreciate finding cheaper links for me but AUD is worthless money compared to USD and shipping is a pain in the butt so the price totals close or to 200 anyway :(

Hi I am a yugioh player and my friends and I do a progression series every Sunday. This upcoming Sunday is our Halloween special (we’re all busy actual Halloween) and for our series we’re dressing it up as a commander game. I have played commander 1 time and I used a squirrel deck someone let me borrow and blew up the table. I am wondering what type of deck I should be looking at building. My friends decks are all precons with mana rocks and slight edits. My friend told me his deck:

“To give you a better idea of where my paper deck is, I have a Cloud, ex-soldier equipment deck.

It has upgrades to better equipments, and uses the dwarves from the hobbit set which go well with equipments”

So I think this counts as bracket 2? Maybe 3? I was thinking of building a sliver deck focused around green and The First Sliver rather than building around overlord and queen to lower the power level. The reason for slivers was because when I first ever played magic my friend’s dad used them to wipe the floor with me and I imprinted on them like a baby bird.

I also have heard that slivers are really unhealthy for commander because either you play the game and the table doesn’t or the table plays the game and you don’t. I wont have time to test/deck build much due to being full time employed and in college but are there other deck ideas I should look into? Are phoenix’s fun?

Budget is not a problem we will be playing on table top simulator.

My favorite yugioh decks are:
Kashtira (got me into competitive)
Pendulum magician
Onomat
Dinomorphia
Yummy (specifically 60 card trif build)
So really I’m willing to play any sort of deck except a true control deck. The problem is I won’t have time to lab out combos hence why I thought curve slivers might be a good idea

If i cast a clone creature (eg. [[Phyrexian metamorph]] ) with the intention of copying a creature with affinity ( let's say [[thought monitor]] ) will the clone also be discounted?

Edit: thanks everyone. Guess I'll have to pay

I am trying with all my might to find this small artist I bought a food token from when I was at Fan Expo Boston.

She was making proxy tokens and the one I got was a food token that was a Paoupou fruit from Kingdom Hearts.

The direct artwork on it was the fruit on the beach with water washing up a bit around it.

I misplaced it on accident and I've been bugging out about it because i wanted to buy more but now I don't remember the artist.

Edit to add: i found her. Not before a bunch of you blew up my messages offering commissions when I didnt ask 😭

I put a ticket in in late August for some Hobbit secret lairs that never shipped. No response. Put in another ticket last month. No response. I just put in another ticket but am not expecting any response.

Is there any way to get ahold of support instead of submitting a ticket and hoping for the best?

Hey all,

I have a [[discord, lord of disharmony]] bracket 1 deck that is literally just lands and mana rocks and discord, and I just do a random card from scryfall every time I need a random card (not perfect, I know, as it increases the chance for cards that have had reprints, but I don't have another easy way to do it). For spells it's fine, but manually drawing every creature on an infinitoken can get tiresome, especially for wordier modern creatures.

Since this is a similar issue Momir players have faced, I wanted to see if anyone knew of a basic thermal printer that could print card images directly from scryfall in iPhone (or an app that lets you do so).

Thanks!

I know the information isn't too easy to find in some cases so if you can't find the number it's fine to post still IMO. Mainly I want to hear about cards that you found for your commander decks that almost nobody else seems to be running with that commander specifically.

To boldly Clue where many have Clued before!
I’m getting back into the rhythm of these, and while I may not do this nearly as often, we have a very strong opening set of reveals, so let’s not waste any time and get to them!

• “If an Equipment or Spacecraft entered the battlefield under your control this turn,”
  
• “create a token that’s a copy of that creature, except it has changeling.”
  
• “If you would draw a card, draw two cards instead.” (Mr. Spock, Science Officer, lets you do exactly that)

• Transporter Malfunction
  
• Vulcan Mind-Meld
  
• Warp Speed
  

As always, let me know if there’s anything I’ve missed!

Usually when Wizards print a creature card with type coupling they list the types in alphabetical order and put that creature's types first. But Jandor seems to be the only creature to break this rule as he mentions Horses before Elephants in his textbox.

I also have the deck boxes to match, just one pictured, the sleeves (not pictured) They are beautiful.

If your LGs ordered them, they should come in soon. Tifa binder is up on GameStop if anyone can’t locate one elsewhere.

Was checking combos for my preston the vanisher deck and found that the combo involving Fiend Hunter and Charming Prince goes like this:

• Cast Charming Prince by paying.
• 2 When Charming Prince enters the battlefield, it triggers, exiling Fiend Hunter until the next end step.
• 3 When Fiend Hunter leaves the battlefield, its second ability triggers, returning all cards exiled with it to the battlefield under their owner's control.
• 4 At the beginning of your end step, Charming Prince triggers, returning Fiend Hunter from exile to the battlefield.
• 5 When Fiend Hunter enters the battlefield, its first ability and Preston trigger.
• 6 Resolve the Fiend Hunter trigger, exiling Charming Prince.
• 7 Resolve the Preston trigger, creating a copy of Fiend Hunter that is a 0/1 Illusion.
• 8 When the token Fiend Hunter enters the battlefield, its first ability triggers, exiling the nontoken Fiend Hunter until the token Fiend Hunter leaves the battlefield.
• 9 When the nontoken Fiend Hunter leaves the battlefield, its second ability triggers, returning Charming Prince from exile to the battlefield.
• 10 When Charming Prince enters the battlefield, it and Preston trigger, with Charming Prince targeting the Fiend Hunter token.
• 11 Resolve the Preston trigger, creating a token copy of Charming Prince that is a 0/1 Illusion.
• 12 When the token Charming Prince enters the battlefield, it triggers, exiling the Fiend Hunter token.
• 13 When the token Fiend Hunter leaves the battlefield, its second ability triggers, returning the nontoken Fiend Hunter from exile to the battlefield.
• 14 Repeat from step 5.

My question is, cant i use the charming prince trigger from step 10 to simply choose one of the other etb options? It would be nifty to be able to gain infinite life or scry my whole deck, considering that it is the Charming prince copy that targets the Fiend Hunter token to restart the combo. Thanks in advance!

Quick question: I wanna build a Veyran deck where I can bring it to casual games and have fun.

Long question with reasoning: I noticed all the decks I have built and kept are either guys or monsters (well, except for Muldrotha but she’s still a monster-appearance). When I started playing Commander I wanted a female character as a face commander. I was building Edea from Final Fantasy, but that overlapped colors with Kefka (Grixis) so stopped working on it since I’m tired gathering similar lands. So I changed my plans, went through my collections and I remembered I wanted to build [[Veyran, Voice of Duality|SLD]]. I got the super cute Secret Lair version of her, and I was trying to build her right when I started playing magic (then again, old me barely knew anything about magic so instantly gave up and forgot about it).

So I start building her with the best cards in my collection, putting all the low cmc instants and sorceries, gathering all the “burn my opponents” permanents, then cards that’ll let me go crazy while doing so. But then I noticed “wait, this is like any other Izzet BS Solitaire deck.” Yeah putting cards like [[Vivi Ornitier]] and [[Archmage Emeritus]] is like any other izzet solitaire deck, so I stopped myself.

So here I am now, what are some interesting ways to build Veyran? I saw some deck lists on Moxfield building voltrons and go-wide decks. Voltron kinda sounds interesting in my opinion, but I’d like some advice and recommendations before I start building anything.

Thanks

I recently saw a post talking about how someone was not excited for the new Star Trek set. A lot of the comments seemed to agree that they just want more fantasy-based cards as apposed to UB stuff that was unrelated.

I also remember seeing an article talking about how magic had done great sales on the backs of Lorewyn and Secrets of Strixhaven and not spiderman and TMNTS.

I'm sure a set like Marvel did well because it's Marvel and the Hobbit because it's more fantasy based.

I'm curious why they do these UB sets that, at least to someone on the outside of the board room, are unpopular and probably are not selling well?

I am super excited about the new Myster Commander Box (even though it was sold out before I reached the checkout) and I want to build a [[Whtz, the Bibliophile]] Deck with around 250-300 cards.

To slim down the physical deck size and make it somewhat practical, I was wondering if I could simply use perfect fit/inner sleeves, as opposed to regular ones (Dragonshield etc.).

Has anyone tried playing with inner sleeves before? Did it work out? Do they quickly break or wear out?
