🧵We are currently at the lowest levels of approval and sentiment since I started asking my "brief, three-question survey" on Twitter in January 2024. I have consistently asked three questions, each of which attempt to gauge the feelings of Magic fans about the state of the game, and... 👇

Well, there goes my week.

She is. She just is.

a dude at my local ren faire absolutely crushed with this prodigal sorcerer cosplay. guy looks like he could really ping the shit out of you. 🪄

Commander deck build restriction idea: Every card's oracle text is 30 words or less.

Let's build a Commander deck around Spider-Man, Brooklyn Visionary, using some of the best green cards that bounce stuff. By @dougynerd.bsky.social #EDH #Commander #MTGxSpiderMan #MTGSPM

Ok who made a Cloud equipment deck on @moxfield.com and named it “Cloud Storage”? Come on someone had to right? Lol.

To infinity and possibly beyond is where I took Kilo, Apogee Mind from the upcoming Edge of Eternities set. Take a look at the deck I brewed up and the insanely long list of combos available to Kilo players. edhrec.com/articles/kil...

I wrote a short story for @magic.wizards.com and it's out today! It follows a young Eumidian deserter who uncovers a strange alien pod. At best, it'll save him from having to "donate" his biomatter. At worst, it's dinner. tinyurl.com/kadrik

I went insane and painted 4 environments for tonight's #StudyBuddies stream 🤘 30 mins each.

Magic is doing a collab with the god tier radio station KEXP and i swear, if the set doesn't come with a soothing radio announcer telling you that coming up is a Swamp, and then fuckin' Khraungbin playing when you make your land drop, they whiffed the assignment

On the cEDH front, I continue to mess around with Gale/Scion Reanimator, even though I'm convinced it's terrible against the current Rhystic Meta. archidekt.com/decks/620218...

Despite not having played anything but cEDH in over a month, I took a break and made a fun little bop of a Cloud equipment *TOKENS* brew for next week's article. This thing's a blast, can't wait to take it for a spin! archidekt.com/decks/126372...

Now through 3/23, we're hosting the Commander Bracket Combo Vote! With this project, we're aiming to unofficially identify where the community believes each two-card combo belongs in the Commander Bracket system. This data will be used to improve our bracket estimation tools. edhrec.com/combo-vote

In keeping with a trend, Zell’s flavor text references another iconic line from the original game! In the scene, Zell and other party members are in prison for assassination and have their weapons confiscated. They fake an illness to lure in their guard, as Zell remembers he doesn’t use weapons.

So, hypothetically speaking, what do you think the best existing cEDH decks would be if you made them obey the letter of the law only of the Upgraded (3) bracket? That's right, this week I tackled c3dh with a little top ten Game Changers action, featuring four of the top cEDH decks!

In this week's edition of The Monolith on @edhrec.com, my series in which I convince you to build more mono coloured decks, I'm talking one of my favourite rules variants for commander: Star! It's a perfect way to get a game going when you're stuck with a 5 player pod edhrec.com/articles/hav...

We had huge news a couple weeks back with the @magic.wizards.com #EDH bracket system. What are the best parts of the bracket system? Where could improvements be made? What has your experience been? Where are your decks ranked? Join Mike and Alex as we discuss!

I ran through all the racing puns I could think of when I wrote the Magic: The Glossary edition for Aetherdrift, so just go read it. Obey all traffic laws while doing so. commandersherald.com/magic-the-gl... #magicthegathering #mtg #aetherdrift

Roll up, roll up! I'm here hawking my mono deck goods to help you build better decks with just one colour, no matter what colour it is. Here's 7 great cards for mono decks on @edhrec.com edhrec.com/articles/the...

Today we are joined by @gavinverhey.bsky.social to break down the new Commander Brackets, Game Changers, and what this all means for the format moving forward. It was an incredibly enlightening conversation and glimpse into their process so make sure to check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDDh...

Just swallowed half a gulp of two-day old milk on accident. ...here's hoping that's not a thing here in a couple hours.

I can't be the only one that sees randoms in the wild and think "That's some good character design."

👑 <--- You dropped this, King. By all means, all ye who are mad that we care about our fellow human beings, please send our like-minded sponsors angry emails. We're happy to respond with kindness.

I've never done anything for Valentine's Day with @goberthicks.bsky.social because since we've known each other she's always spent this week in Portland working with @tolariancommunitycollege.com on the Trans Lifeline fundraiser and she's an absolute badass and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Deepdove on an #FF post, just trying to count up how many mainline FF characters you would have if you wanted to have an #MTG card for each. The answer? Between *81 and 245*, depending on if you count optional/guest/repeat characters, and whether you think Tactics is a mainline game. Insane. Hype.

90 minutes until the #p4a officially begins. We've already raised over $560,000. Can we get to $600k before we actually start?!?! p.s. Now is a great time to visit projectforawesome.com and vote for the charities you want us to support. Half the money raised will go to charities chosen by YOU.

Updating my Gisa list and replacing some of the cruder proxies, but I think I have to keep this one.

You can do it. I’m staring at you supportively because I believe in you

Dockside should never be unbanned or people might think death threats works

We all played run away from the police till you got arrested or died, and totally forgot there was a whole game with a story to play!

Because I'm mad/appreciative that Paige got there first, a quick run-down of the minor #FinalFantasy characters I'm hoping to see in the #MTG crossover 🧵 FF I: Tiamat, for the memes. (For those that don't know, there's already a Tiamat in MTG from the D&D crossover)

Started to go through and put my decks into brackets, and realized that once again, all of my online decklists are horribly, unreasonably out of date. Gonna be a bigger project than I thought! = )

Calling dibs on a Wishclaw Talisman activation is a binding magical contract. (similar to putting your name in the Goblet of Fire)

I used to have a friend who played Massacre Girl a lot into my 1-drops deck and I would instantly kill them every game and they'd get mad asking me why I won't give them a chance. If you bring a deck that invalidates certain archetypes into a game you should expect getting hit lol.

If this isn’t a bowl game next season we’ve failed

What the bracket system is trying to accomplish is simple. Have you ever been the pub stomper on accident, going into a pod you thought you were balanced for, and ending up wrecking everyone? This is an attempt to prevent that scenario, *not* an attempt to stop purposeful pubstompers.

The brackets are devoid of INTENT and the human element. These are card quality brackets.

With the latest update from @magic.wizards.com @gavinverhey.bsky.social and the Commander Format Panel it is with heavy heart that we too must adapt to this change. From now on you can call us…

"Kind of fucked up that this panel of volunteers would release a beta list that doesn't clearly quantify how good or bad all 25,000 magic cards are"

The conversation here continues to rage on, and is full of interesting cards that should've/shouldn't have been considered. It'll be really interesting to see where this ends up in a couple of months.

Starting a project this week to track how many cards are drawn off Rhystic Study, Mystic Remora, & The One Ring in a game of cEDH, & whether or not the player who resolves them goes on to win. Join me, #cEDH folks, because if Rhystic really is a win-con... Then we should be countering the win-con.

I love the ridiculous variety of goblins in Magic. In Ravnica they're mobsters, in Ixalan they're monkey pirates, and in Tarkir they're fuzzy berserker mini-yetis. Some daring planeswalker needs to compile a taxonomy of multiversal goblins, especially as the Omen Paths allow their cultures to meet
