Knights of Guinevere (Dana Terrace’s new show) pilot is out and all I can say is “what the fuck girl?” youtu.be/MCAdbUaMlAE?...

It’s PT season AGAIN and I’m seeing the Heavy Play jerseys come back out, anyone want to update me on the status of their sleeve quality?

WE ARE LIVE! twitch.tv/akaleth

Listen, I get that people don’t really give a shit about my pet format (duel commander). But I, as well as plenty of others, have spent MONTHS inquiring with CT on if we were going to get a DC event this year, and were continually met with “we’re still finalizing the schedule.” I’m fine with the

TOMORROW NIGHT! Be there or be square! (But it's okay if you check out the VOD instead)

🏆 the back-to-back-to-back-TO-BACK 20-0 4x Trophy with Cloud! I'm gonna keep calling him the best deck in Duel Commander until someone proves me wrong.

Live now trying to continue the streak! www.twitch.tv/xjcloud

🏆 Got the back-to-back-to-back trophies with Cloud in Duel Commander. Anduril continues to show up, it might be the truth. Or maybe Cloud is just broken. Who can say? Come hang out on stream tonight to see the best deck in the format in action!

This is a good change, but it’s sure gonna suck the first three times I hit no twice out of muscle memory and decline to move Cloud to the command zone.

I teamed up with ​⁠Manafest Dread MTG‬ to make a Duel Commander video deck guide for Cloud! Give it a watch, drop them a sub, and let me know if you liked the content! I really enjoyed the interview/deck guide format and had a ton of fun chatting about the deck. youtu.be/66oXi8Z8Sxk?...

🏆 Got the back-to-back trophy with the same list. New cards didn't really show up at all, sometimes (oftentimes, perhaps) Cloud just bulldozes with its raw power level.

It's that time of year, folks — the 4th annual State of the Noodle stream is NEXT THURSDAY 9/18 8:30pm EST @ twitch.tv/akaleth @xjcloud.bsky.social will join me as we discuss D&T decklists in 2025, its position in the metagame, and give you all the tools you need to be prepared for Eternal Weekend!

I miss y'all. It's time to come back. Starting on 9/13, I'll be live on Twitch every Saturday morning playing D&T in the 7am Legacy Challenge! Whether I'm 0-2 dropping, getting 9th on breakers, or winning it all, I'm excited to play premier events regularly. At the usual place: twitch.tv/akaleth

🏆 DC Trophy with Cloud tonight vs a murder's row of mono color menaces! Made some adjustments to the deck in an effort to improve vs Aragorn: - Canonist, SoFaF, Forge Anew, and Unexpectedly Absent + Basri, Tithe Taker, Cid, and Anduril Jury is out on the rest, but Anduril really impressed me.

Many people think that the "taxes" in death and taxes refers to cards that tax your opponents resources, such as Thalia or Spirit of the labyrinth. In fact, it actually references a rule of the game that made it so you had to pay 3 mana to put a companion into your hand, dubbed the "companion tax"

Be sure to show up to any Duel Commander trials you can, some of these managed to scrape by with 16 in the past

Can we not like… announce *some* of the planned events before LITERALLY LESS THAN A MONTH BEFORE THE EVENT? I’m sure plenty of people *want* to go for non main event reasons, but without a word as to if there’s like a cedh or premodern or old school or niche format 5K, how can you plan for this???

YouTube’s “Restricted Mode” hiding 60+ videos I’ve made in the past few years, lovely. Make sure you have it turned off folks 🫡

Praying for news today 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Cardtitan pls just 1 scrap of duel commander event confirmation I would love to actually be able to commit to traveling to an event 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Back in the duel commander fine tuning trenches, we're prepping Cloud for some potential future events www.twitch.tv/xjcloud

People mad about “Rent Is Due” saying magic is supposed to be fantasy and an escape from reality but is there anything more obviously fictional than this?

Going live with some Azusa duel commander (really fucked up theres no Miku art on mtgo) www.twitch.tv/xjcloud

I have fallen victim to viral internet trendy recipes and made “Levain inspired” lemon cookies. Luckily the internet was right this time, because these are incredible. Perfect crunchy outside and gooey inside. Adding to my favorites list immediately.

*just lost to D&T voice* You will never be able to convince me that D&T is playable

@cardtitan.bsky.social your bsky DMs aren’t open but I wanted to ask if we were getting the EW event schedule sometime soon?

Old man yells about Mandibular Kite in duel commander www.twitch.tv/xjcloud

Idk shit about FF14 but from a cursory glance this fight sounds cool as fuck

I’m fighting wars you’ve never heard of on fronts you didn’t even know existed

Not a horror movie guy and I am rapidly regretting this bit but I love my wife, and that’s what marriage is all about folks.

🏆 Another trophy with the best deck in Duel Commander, Cloud. I started this league like... last week so I don't remember the first 2 matchups but I crushed UR Malcolm, Amalia, and Ragost to close out the night. Same list as my Trial win (I think?), continuing to farm my free wins until they stop me

D&T has remained tier 0 or 1 through metas with Snowko, Arcanist, Ragavan, WPA, Sticker Goblin, UB with Grief, UB with Psychic Frog, UB with Troll, Vexing Bauble, Mycospawn, and to this day. The deck is always the most broken thing in legacy and just avoids bans by being hard to play.

I won the legacy showcase with DNT. I'll make my thanks and a longer winded post later but yeah. Does not feel real

WOTC WHERE MY PAPER WHITE THOUGHTSEIZE AT WOTC I JUST WANNA TALK

I don’t usually share my YouTube videos on social media since they’re just dumps of twitch vods, but I’ve been enlisting @ayseneinart.bsky.social to make some fun thumbnails and this one in particular tickled me. Also I love doing match replays instead of usual league slop. youtu.be/C4NzVdWbPBU?...

Going live now with my matchup review of my Duel Commander Trial win with Cloud, followed by some Legacy LCQing! www.twitch.tv/xjcloud

Tonight’s stream will be starting earlier than usual, 6:45pm CST as opposed to the usual 8pm, because I recorded all of these matches and plan to go over my Trial win before playing the Legacy LCQ tonight. See you all then!

Happy birthday to a lot of important people in my life but also this video I made about @ayseneinart.bsky.social and @xjcloud.bsky.social last year

Our problems are the same if you (don’t) think about it

This also didn’t work last time but it was very close. Third times the charm please send your finest energy for this one today
