No video tomorrow; got some upsetting news at work today that caps off an already bad week, so I’ll be spending my time this weekend focusing on mental health. Depending on how tomorrow goes the video may be out this weekend but otherwise I’ll have it next week. Mental health breaks are important!

This has a very “Mother of Runes” feel to it, though hexproof is far worse than protection. Still, I think it has some potential as a commander. #MTGLorwyn

Got a new table today to help with sorting cards (currently alphabetizing my green cards), and will probably use this for some videos in the future for things like pack openings. Just need to figure out proper lighting for that first. Fun things ahead! #MTG

This thing is pretty nutty. Thankfully the ward abilities are life and not mana, so removing this shouldn’t be too difficult. Still… wow, what a way to protect ALL of your things! #MTGLorwyn

No, my boy, what have they done to you! Who's the king of the scarecrows now?! ...Cool abilities though, I must say. #MTGLorwyn

This is another incredible card draw option for a typal deck, similar to Distant Melody. The fact it has convoke, which pairs perfectly with creature tokens, makes it *chef’s kiss* #MTGLorwyn

Honestly, this is awesome. I was a HUGE Muppets fan when I was a kid. Dinosaurs was, and still is, one of my absolute favorite TV shows. To see two things that have influenced my life so much come together, it’s an incredible thing.

Been re-watching my favorite show, Supernatural, and I’d love to make a themed deck with Sam and Dean at the helm. I’m thinking probably an equipment deck to represent all their different weapons. Who’d be a good commander for this? Could be partners or a single commander w/ two characters. #MTG

I don’t think I’ve ever finished a book as fast as this one! Just under a week… but wow, was it a great book. Especially that ending. Anyone with any interest in 40k, definitely check this one out! Now for the Eisenhorn Omnibus which.. I think will take me a lot longer to finish lol

First deck tech of 2026 and latest #MTGxATLA commander video is up! Bumi, Unleashed is all about attacking with lands... so why not get as many animated lands as possible with earthbending? That's what this deck is all about... Check it out! #MTG #MagictheGathering youtu.be/U2Nelc47oZg

My 2026 New Years Resolutions for the channel: - Make new types of videos outside of deck techs/Best Kept Secrets - Increase the number of videos released weekly - Incorporate facecam/video to more engage with everyone - Learn new video editing techniques to make higher quality videos (cont.)

Picked up some “light reading” with some Christmas money today. I’ve heard very good things about the Eisenhorn series but haven’t read it yet, so I’m excited to start it!

Made a post over on Youtube about 2026 plans for the channel. Let me know what you think of my idea and if you'd be interested in it! Especially take a look if you're a Warhammer 40k fan: youtube.com/post/UgkxWUD...

One of my favorite things about #MTG is discovering new cards. Didn’t even know Space-Time Anomaly was a card, but now that I’ve seen it, I love it. Looked for a cmdr it pairs with, and discovered a cmdr I hadn’t seen before in Shanna, Purifying Blade. Welp, I know what my next deck is going to be!

New #MTGxATLA deck tech just dropped! Master of firebending, Avatar Roku, Firebender is THE firebend commander! This deck tech is all about that, using firebenders to generate a ton of mana! Check it out! youtu.be/eJzWdyiruOc

This Oko art lol

Sorting my multicolored cards and this stack came up. This gave me flashbacks to a time when I played Standard and had to face this monstrosity of a deck. I played mono-black Vampires, mostly because I just wanted to, but man, I always hated sitting across from this thing. Good times though. #MTG

And this is why I have my wife choose sealed product when I get it. She bought me a random play booster at Target when she was there, and looky at what the rare was! #MTG #MagicTheGathering

I’ve been working on alphabetizing all my Magic cards, after having sorted by color. Finished colorless last week and am now on to multicolored. Times like these make me think that I have too many cards 🤣🤣🤣 #MagicTheGathering #MTG

I’ve always been terrible at the actual battle component of Total War games, but this will likely make me want to actually get good at it. 40K is one of my all time favorite universes so I’m super stoked for this! #TotalWarWarhammer40k www.totalwar.com/news/total-w...

Who's ready for breakfast?! This week's #MTGxATLA deck tech uses Sokka, Tenacious Tactician and a personal favorite strategy of mine... Cheerios! This deck is all about casting free artifact spells to trigger Sokka's ability and prowess as much as possible. Check it out! youtu.be/2NI6BZFuOPc

“Blight” sounds like it’s going to be a pretty cool mechanic in Lorwyn. Also, great new Elfball commander here? #MTGLorwyn

Power-up is kind of a cool mechanic, since it reduces the cost of activation by the mana cost if activated the same turn. So basically you can play Quicksilver as a 1/1 haste for 1 OR a 2/2 double strike haste for 5. Kind of a cool way to make a modular creature card. #MTGxMarvel

Create Merfolk tokens for each blue pip in a spell?! Yes please! This is looking like it's going to be a great spellslinger voltron commander in mono-blue! Really looking forward to this one! #MTGxMarvel

Ok, this Incredible Hulk is absolutely cracked! Give him indestructible and throw a Lure on him, or even just use Pyrohemia, and you can just attack until everyone is dead! Keep an eye on this one... This is going to be huge when it comes out! #MTGxMarvel

Ok, this is pretty damn great artwork to use for a card that desperately needed a reprint. Bravo on this one WotC... Bravo. #MTGxMarvel

I really, REALLY hope we get some more villainous choice cards. I NEED more villainous choice cards! #MTGxMarvel

Just 15 subs away from the big 2k! I can’t believe how fast and big this community has grown. If you aren’t subbed and enjoy my content, I’d love for you to join. I’ve got some big plans for 2026, so buckle up and come join the ride! #MTG #MagictheGathering

Well damn… I decided to shoot my shot, and looks like it didn’t make it. Honestly, I was expecting this anyways but hey, nothing ventured, nothing gained, right? I’ll just keep doing what I love doing and we’ll see how 2026 goes. I’ve got some cool stuff in store so stay tuned!

EDHREC Crossword 11/27/2025 Words: 46 My Time: 19:12 edhrec.com/games/crossw...

Got some of the cool #MTGxATLA shirts from Box Lunch today and got this sweet Iroh promo. Didn’t even know this came with it, but it’s a pretty cool bonus!

Earthbend with fetch lands is pretty nutty. Sac’ing the land after earthbending it just brings it back tapped, meaning you can constantly use it to fetch out lands. The land even gets haste so no worries about summoning sickness. Neat trick! #MTGxATLA #MTG

New #MTGxATLA deck tech out! Avatar Aang is all about bending all the elements, so why not focus on that? That's right, this deck tech will do all the cool airbending, firebending, earthbending, and waterbending shenanigans to get the most out of Aang! Check it out! youtu.be/KPDVUaWTxIU

Catching back up on the #MTG storyline... Created this meme, as it seemed rather apt given what's been going on in recent sets.

Got myself some #MTGxATLA packs since I was unable to attend the prerelease. Kinda meh pulls, though I am happy with the Planetarium and the Azula Diaochan!

New #MTGxATLA deck tech is up! This one is all about another member of the Fire Nation... Fire Lord Zuko! We're using pretty much every conceivable way to cast things from exile for this one, so check it out and let me know what you think! #MTG #MagicTheGathering youtu.be/KGI5nIKpZiY

Now this is a combo I can get behind! #MTGxATLA

Got something special in the mail today! Looking forward to brewing my boy Kratos! #MTG #MagicTheGathering #SecretLair

Trying my hand at making some MTG tokens; first ones here are for my Jin Sakai deck. I think they turned out pretty well. Honestly, it's pretty damn fun being able to make your own! #MTG #MagictheGathering

First (of many) #MTGxATLA deck techs is now up! Using the princess of the Fire Nation, Fire Lord Azula, this deck tech is all about combining two different strategies... voltron and spellslinger! Azula is a perfect commander for this combo, so check it out! youtu.be/EnBmX8v-MF0

I may try to get out two #MTGxATLA deck techs next week, if only for the reason that I have a really funny title for each in mind that works better being released close together… We’ll see how the week goes!

New #MTG deck tech out! I'm super excited about this one; from the Playstation Secret Lair, we've got Jin Sakai, Ghost of Tsushima! Incredible game represented perfectly on a Magic card, you love to see it. This one's all about samurai and their equipment. Check it out! youtu.be/tq77ljHGASE

Lmao, this is probably the best mono-red commander I’ve seen! All hail the blood moon! #MTGxATLA

Oh man, this is gonna be such an awesome wincon in big mana decks like Electro! What other commanders does this pair well with?? #MTGxATLA

Let’s live the dream! #MTGxATLA

After a bit of a break, we're back with a new deck tech! This time we're using a commander from the PS Secret Lair, Aloy Savior of Meridian! This deck is all about vehicles! I'll be putting out another PS Secret Lair deck tech later this week as well! youtu.be/8IEfqJWUSgo

Back from a bit of a hiatus, we've got another #MTGxSpiderMan deck tech! This one is about everyone's favorite villian, Eddie Brock/Venom (specifically Venom in this case). Check it out! #MTG #MagictheGathering youtu.be/PlQftajT40E

Man, making deck techs for the channel has become a lot harder. I don't know if it's the general disinterest in the announced IPs, the huge amount of new sets coming out, or what it is, but I've been finding it hard to find inspiration. Anyone else having similar issues? #MTG #MagictheGathering

Little late, but the newest #MTGxSpiderMan deck tech is out! This one uses Norman Osborn or, more accurately, his alternate persona Green Goblin! Graveyard shenanigans abound. Check it out! #MTG #Commander #Spiderman youtu.be/cp15i2-U2SY
