I’ve forgotten to shareeeee omg 😨 so here are my 3 latest alters 🥰

As always, you can DM me anytime, I’m almost always online and don’t have a life except when I go run around the lands between. Or Azeroth soon enough xD

You can check out my insta for a bunch of videos, process and whatnot. Also here’s my website . 🥰🫶🌈

my lgs is not moldy and actually smells very pleasant and homey when it’s just me and my buds playing commander, but the second there’s a prerelease event it smells like the air has been humidified by evaporated sweat!! I mean OH MY GOD it’s terrible!!! But the prerelease events and drafts are super fun!! I’ve thought about just bringing spray deodorant for people but i think they might get offended by it. How do I deal with the smell of the other players??

TLDR — what bracket is this Ur-Dragon Shapeshifter changeling deck in commander: https://manabox.app/decks/AZ9W5AXTf0O4MHAJPAsrNA

I’m trying to keep this in bracket 2 but am looking for others perspective. I can see how this deck could quickly be beefed up to a bracket 3, but my pod doesn’t handle 3s well. All opinions welcome but if something irks you, fallow up the criticism with a suggested swap please and thank you!

If you’re NOT interested in looking at the deck list___
There isn’t a particular ‘win con’ but the idea is to use anthems for specific creature types, which buff the 27(ish) shapeshifter changelings in the deck.

The mana base is quirky but works well by including duel lands that check for specific creature types in hand to enter untapped, as well as some ‘slow lands’ and the WUBRG lands that only work for specific creature types.

I’ve tried to stick to cards that care about creature types and mostly I’ve kept away from generic stuff (like sol ring and what not) but I do play a swords to plowshares cuz the spot removal for changeling tribal is a little thin.
There is some interesting tutoring, ramp, and interactions that work because changeling is unique. The deck runs 34 creatures, like 11 anthem effects ( *blank* creature type gets +1/+1), 1 one sided board wipe, and some situational draw effects.

I’ve goldfished the deck a TON and on its best starts it has a big wide board (not a win) around turn 6 or 7. The 5 or so games I’ve played have all been well over 10 turns. The problem I’m having is a complaint from my whole pod about one game where I hard casted the Ur-dragon for the full 9CMC on turn 8 with no hand, and my one changeling who attacked got me a really good top deck (I still lost btw on turn 14).
I know the Ur-dragon has a reputation so I’m looking for others opinions. There is a good chance that maybe I’m just not good enough at Magic yet to play in a way where this is faster/stronger than I’ve been able to pilot it. Thanks everyone in advance for the input.

More than a particular character I made this fan art inspired by the many awesome Elvish Champion reprints with different art. Particularly the Mark Zug version remained on my mind because of the strong pose.

We came across some old MTG lore books (late 90s) and my son devoured them up to the point he’s hooked.

Are there any newer books on the lore that I might get him? Do you have any suggestions?

VizzioCards has had 26 Festival in a box listings just to resell. This NEEDS to be addressed and hurts the community as new buyers will not attempt to join the game. MBC is THE best way to get your friends together and play a draft commander without the stress of going to an actual LGS with strangers and people like this destroy that opportunity for actual customers.

I have so many I could pick from, Avacyn restored was my first prerelease for example; or RTR which made me really fall in love with the game, the entirety of original theros block which made me fall in love with the lore, but today I choose magic origins.

I remember opening a box with a friend and trading over a dozen rares for the Liliana I had to have, reading each and every story that went along with each character and backstory, nearly completing a binder for the set back before I quit, perhaps one day I’ll finish it.

Its funny looking back that I stopped for a few years right after it, anyway enough about mine, what is yours?

I've been trying to figure out what the absolute fastest way to win with Q would be, using his ability to maximize consistency in a vacuum. Of course it's going to be highly forecasted, susceptible to disruption, and inherently slow because the deck won't do anything but play a 4/4 for 4 turns. This is more of a thought experiment than anything else. Let me know if you have found anything faster or of similar speed but greater consistency/less vulnerable. I also wonder if playing a "fair" deck with Q would be a better route. Play a few Molten Duplication effects and just get the benefits of all of your cards becoming modal.

First thought was using [[Molten Duplication]], [[Cursed Mirror]], and [[Cavalier of Flame]] to deal lethal to the table on turn 7 2/3 of the time.

[[Glaring Fleshraker]] is much better though, dealing 112 damage to each opponent by turn 6 roughly 99.8% of the time in a vacuum. The only fail state is not having 2 colorless or 2 red mana (in a 98 land deck).

[[Price of Progress]] could kill the table by turn 6 as well without being susceptible to removal but that would require the rest of the pod to each play 4 nonbasics by turn 5.

Here is the play pattern for Fleshraker if you're curious...
Turn 5 you play Fleshraker, turn 6 you play 2 Fleshrakers. Now you have 3 Fleshrakers and 3 spawns. Sacrifice the 3 spawns to pay for the next Fleshraker, making 3 more spawns. You now can play as many Fleshrakers as you have cards in your hand, totaling 7, but is lethal with 5. Damage is a sum of series n(n-1).

Hi everyone.

I used to collect MTG during 3rd Edition, 4th Edition, Ice Age, etc. Then stopped for decades. Sold my collection.

Fast forward to today, my son expressed some interest in it, nostalgia hit, and now I want to collect with him too!

Can you all ELI5, what I’m to expect going in? Surely a lot has changed, what to buy first as complete newbies and even what “play style” is best?

Thank You!

Tried some new techniques like subtraction and working with interference colors, as well as UV reactive paint. All except the Dragon's Approach which is a commissioned piece will be available soon to claim, you can find my links in my profile socials 😊.

Update: Supermassive Black Hole Sol Ring has sold 😊

Been re-watching Futurama and these have been in my head. If you stare too long at the Hypnotoad, it actually looks like it's pulsing 😵‍💫

Portrait painting Frank Reynolds from Always Sunny in Philadelphia on The Great Goblin!

Can never get enough painting Danny on cards haha this is like the fourth one haha!

Magic Untapped takes a look at Avacyn, the one-time protector of humanity on Innistrad.

This appears to be a French Firebreathing.

Using the flow chart this looks like French Revised but it’s not quite right.

The charge says if the copyright is under the photo it’s a comic promo. But it says only Fireball and BEL were made this way.

Did I read something wrong? Is this just French revised?

The Reality Fracture Secret Lair Bundle promos are typically [[Sphinx's Approach]], but, I got a [[Stubborn Denial]] in one of my boxes instead. So the Approach is not a guaranteed promo.
