Just had a nice, cozy #palia stream, as I slowly build followers for my channel. Not sure who wants to see some old, geeky dad playing cozy and/or retro games, but I'm here for whoever does. Now if I could just figure out all that customization and stuff... www.twitch.tv/geekydad123

Went to my "oops all blue" list for my MtG: Arena daily of casting blue spells. Sorry if you played against this pile of mostly commons/uncommons. moxfield.com/decks/jBikTe...

Was having a difficult time deciding on a Pride partner commander for my Niv-Mizzet, Dracoshenanigans deck, until I realized there was only one commander he would ever deign to partner with- himself.

More Star Wars: Legion tonight. Imagine, if you will, Darth Vader suddenly hearing Duel of the Fates start playing over his Imperial March, and turning to see Darth Maul launch himself at- and completely over Vader- to cut down Grand Moff Tarkin. I'd call that a spiritual victory, even if I lost.

Just streamed two hours worth of X-Com: UFO Defense gameplay... to an average of 0 viewers. Difficult to know what I'm doing right and wrong without feedback, but, hopefully, we'll get there. Anyway, replay is available if you want to watch an old guy play some retro games. www.twitch.tv/geekydad123

Lord help us all, I'm trying to become a Twitch streamer... If you're interested in #Paralives, I'll be taking my first look at it at 1pm PDT and streaming it live. www.twitch.tv/geekydad123

Because I'm really nerdy, I took my son's Star Wars Legion Shadow Collective army to the LGS to learn how to play. I think I did pretty well for my first game.

Since I started replacing the proxies in my Brimaz #edh #mtg #commander deck with the actual cards, I figured it was time to upgrade the deck box. Given the number of tokens the deck produces, the Lorwyn DOMARU box, with its included dividers, was pretty much the obvious choice.

MTG Arena just switched up the matchmaking in Brawl. It's now solely based on Commander weight, no MMR, no weight from your 99. This means you'll get to see a bunch of new commanders. This also means experienced players will be absolutely curb stomping players without a broad card base, like me. 😢

I decided to really go singleton in my #edh #commander #mtg deck, and made sure all of the lands- even the basics- were unique as well; different art on every one. It's a small upgrade, just cosmetic, but I like it. I'm going to need to remember to shuffle the hell out of it before I play it tonight

At times I feel burnt out on #mtg #mtgarena and then I have a game like this, where, looking at a very scary board across from me, I use a Fanatical Firebrand on one of my own tokens, dealing lethal face damage to my opponent without attacking. Makes the more frustrating games almost worth it.

Playing with a new deck in #mtg #mtgarena using the Strixhaven Repartee keyword. Still need to make a few tweaks, but it's really fun, can get some pretty fast wins when it pops off. moxfield.com/decks/E3oK0R...

Tokens go brrr. #edh #commander #mtg

New deck for #edh #commander #mtg Sadly my collection has some gaps. I only have to proxy half the deck... (mostly older cheap rares I'll pick up when I find out if they work in the deck.)

I need to stop getting new #edh #commander #mtg deck boxes... but they look so cool! Anyway, now my Auntie Ool deck has a box that matches my Exdeath deck. My other decks have oversized Commander cards, from the older precon decks, so they're staying in boxes that can fit those.

Pope Leo pulling the Picard face-palm today, and I can totally relate.

Had fun playing The Blight Curse deck at #commander #edh #mtg last night. Nothing like having 15 1/1 Deathtouch snake tokens and a 5/5 with Wither on the board. But the deck feels like it lacks a focused win-con. I'll need to figure that out when I start modifying it. moxfield.com/decks/wZCqAM...

#edh #commander started with a turn 2 Pack Rat. Things just snowballed from there, since the discards let me pack my graveyard. Neo-Exdeath was a 28/3 by the time I exploded him with Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord for the win. #mtg I love these dry erase tokens, so much fun.

Time to sleeve up a new deck. Hope I don't regret the purchase- heard good things about this one. Of course I'm going to tweak it a bit... eventually.

Decided I needed some dry erase tokens for my deck. Of course, those wouldn't fit in the old box, so I got a fancy new deck box, too. For, all together, about the same cost as a new Commander deck* 🤷‍♂️ (* - One of the older, less popular Commander decks, but still...)

Still tweaking my #edh #commander deck. Made a strong showing last night until it ran into a bad run of drawing nothing but lands. Twice. Guess I need to shuffle better. Anyway, adding two creatures with swamp and forest cycling should help. Further feedback welcome 😀 moxfield.com/decks/wuJ0Ei...

My Exdeath #edh #commander deck performed incredibly well and won the first game tonight with a Jarad, Polarized Lich Lord combo. We won't talk about the other two games, except to wonder why I put Avenger of Zendikar in, and that maybe my new, shiny Garruk, Cursed Huntsman will be a better fit.

Very proud of my son, the deck-tuning paid off and he piloted his Mimeoplasm deck to his, and its, first victory at #edh #commander night last night. Then he followed it up playing my Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius deck and won the second game, as well! #mtg moxfield.com/decks/mHDXiB...

Oh, man. Am I going to have to cancel HBO Max now? It's the only streaming service I have...

Built a new #edh #commander deck- Exdeath, Void Warlock. Since he gets bigger the more permanents are in the graveyard, most of the removal is Enchantment based. Now I just need to test it out at the next #mtg Commander night. moxfield.com/decks/wuJ0Ei...

A 78/78 #edh #commander with Trample is good, right? I think, when my son finally gets to pilot The Mimeoplasm deck we built together, he'll enjoy it. I should stop playing it myself and find a new one to build. Iroh, Tea Master looks interesting; but so does something like Exdeath or Doran. #mtg

Managed to win another game with my #edh #commander #mtg Niv-Mizzet deck. One player cast a spell that gave him a 2nd turn (at a cost), took out the other 2 players- but not me because I had a flying blocker- & then paid the cost (which was losing the game.) Leaving Niv-Mizzet the winner by default.

Broke my rule to never again buy cardboard. Replaced a few proxies in my #Commander #edh #mtg deck. That Sphinx is the second most expensive card in the deck. At least now all but one of the gamechangers in the deck are real. Only things missing are a bunch of cheap older cards. And a Mystic Study.

#Commander #edh night again. The Nivix Guildmage was invaluable, first copying a Mizzum Mortars to take out a dangerous dragon, then, next turn, copying a top decked Fireball to hit the two remaining opponents, taking out one, and leaving the other in range for Niv to take down personally. #mtg

Another successful #DnD session. Puzzle solving in with some combat, to reach the final chamber where a Djinni challenged them to a battle to test if they could protect the Heart of the Storm, the control crystal for a powerful Gigas super-weapon. Now they have to deal w/the army outside the tower..

My son finally got to play the #edh #commander deck we rebuilt together. And the first player he took out of the game was me... But he had fun, and that's what matters. Still a few more things to add, like Garrick's Uprising, and getting Wonder back into the deck, but it's getting pretty solid. #mtg

Missed Commander Night at the FLGS #mtg but #mtga Mid-Week Magic is Brawl with a Lorwyn Commander. I happened to make a Doran, Beseiged by Time deck over the weekend, and it's cleaning up. 2cmc Formidable Speaker for Betor, Kin to All, who gets Swiftfoot Boots. I don't blame them for conceding.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

After buying 90 packs with a ton of saved-up gold in Arena, I'm working on a new #mtg deck for Lorwyn! Rakdos Goblins. It's a lot of fun. I might be running a bit too much removal, but not sure exactly what I'll need in the meta, yet. moxfield.com/decks/v5wPhS...

Testing The Mimeoplasm Commander deck my son and I built. A 14/13 with Annihilator 2 on turn 5 is pretty good, right?

Lorwyn dropped in #mtga ... I've been saving gold for packs, going to have a bunch of fun building crazy types decks, at least until people figure out what the new meta is.

I don't want to see the term 'donald trump' trending unless it's also with the words 'impeached' or 'funeral'.

Not my best work, but fine for a rush job, I think...

#mtg Played my first game of #edhc Commander in years, and used my Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius deck. (Aka, Shenanigans) And also managed to win 😀With plenty of shenanigans! 🤣 Pinged one player to death. Then pulled the ol' Switcharoo, and got someone else's 19/19 Commander. scryfall.com/card/mm3/175...

Help, I seem to be addicted to math rocks. (In my defense, these cute little things are not only half the size of regular #D&D dice, they're also half the price.)

The #D&D session was a success! The party *finally* got their airship (and I played the Skies of Arcadia theme as they took off), then had a battle in the skies with a "Sky Manta" (which is absolutely not a reskinned Cloaker...) The barbarian almost fell, but the druid, as a giant eagle, caught her.

For what it's worth, I just wrote to my Rep to tell him that impeachment proceedings need to begin immediately- even if the votes are not there, the action must be taken to show some of our nation is still trying to hold him accountable for this outrageous violation of international laws.

Well, looks like I need something new to distract me from the horribleness going on right now. It's very highly rated, you all better not let me down, you internet-highly-rating-things folks. #clairobscur #expedition33

No public support. No congressional support. No casus belli. What the hell is going on?

Anyone who's played MtG: Arena has been in a mirror match, but this one was kind of ridiculous. (Exact same spells played, turn for turn. Only difference was the fetchlands.)

This current release of the Epstein files is the equivalent of Nixon handing over recordings covered in Scotch tape.

My MtG:Arena victory with Iroh the other day was so much fun, I made an actual deck to support it, where I could sustainably give away a permanent every turn. First test in sbrawl- success.

So, I used "Iroh, Tea Master" in a brawl deck to pass one of the MtG: Arena 'Winter Achievement' goals, because he can gift Food tokens. But he can also gift things like useless enchantments, and creatures that will warp out EOT. I actually managed to win the match 🤣 mtga.untapped.gg/replay/Sjm6p...

My "Aang, at the Crossroads" Standard Brawl ally deck is a lot of fun to play in MtG: Arena. Reworked some mana issues earlier tonight to help me better draw the colors I need. #mtg #mtg:arena

I don't usually like playing super-meta decks in MtG: Arena. But I do like Izzet. So I went and spent some wildcards to see what this "Lessons" deck is all about. Wow. I think now I see. mtga.untapped.gg/replay/4bcwW... moxfield.com/decks/y7BJDB...
