Great article revisiting some of the low level details. I haven't done this exercise but I probably should and wish I could make the time.

It's a deckbuilder's paradise.
Pendragon is one of my favourite Commander variants, so tonight we're gonna indulge in some unreasonable systems of government wherein strange ladies give swords to my opponents:

twitch.tv/ogcmdr starting now :)
Ok, how the hell... in the name of great Nolan's ghost... of all the fandoms I've _never_ cared about... is Street Fighter the hardest movie trailer to come out in years?!?
That deck is one of the OG Monstrosities of the entire EDH format ;)
Game one was not defeated by Biorhythm Combo, or by Destroy All Humans, Or By Unblockable Pirates but instead we call succumb to Agrus Kos, Eternal Soldier + Balloon Man...
Very much: EDH the way it was MEANT to be played :)
twitch.tv/ogcmdr if you wanna see whatever comes next ;)
Tonight's pod features two first-time guests and two returning friends of the format, and the decklists suggest we're in for a hilarious time.
twitch.tv/ogcmdr ... EDH the way it was meant to be played!

Oh wow, Steph just reminded me who we have invited for this week's stream and like... 🤩
Tonight's twitch.tv/ogcmdr pod has been classified as "Old friends getting together to clobber each other" and as such will be the kind of positivity you need these days.
You should come hang out :)

Let's... get... dangerous :)
Bougie camping menu :)
You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best...
Someone wearing a black Hanes t-shirt. And then a black Rick Owens t-shirt. The first hangs pretty normally. The second wraps around the body.
Even something as simple as a t-shirt gets special treatment. Below, we see a Hanes t-shirt vs Rick Owens t-shirt. Look at how the second fluidly drapes across the body — almost like spun ink. Unlike many other designers, Owens has actual technical skills. He trained in pattern drafting and sewing.
Tonight's stream is a spectrum of format history with old timer @telliott.bsky.social and (RC OG) Alex Kenny getting stomped by @bugsmaytrix.bsky.social
Truely EDH the way it was meant to be played :)

Holy crap it's Thursday already? Alright, let's game :)
@thorgisarcade.bsky.social @benjithebrewer.bsky.social Kayonnik and I are gonna play some EDH, the way it was meant to be played. You should come hang out!

A few years ago, a friend and coworker wrote this thought exercise piece and it has, as they say, lived rent free in my head ever since. It's conceptual, not concrete, and seems wrong at first but there's a fascinating concept at its core that I keep coming back to.
I discovered tonight that I can tell Antigravity to execute on its edited proposal/plan by just saying "Make it so" and now I'm far too pleased with my little world.
I have a friend who home-makes a mean tangerine Sherbert that goes hard... but if I had to chose only one child, it's B&R's Rum Raisin. :D
With bundles starting at $5, get into Shadowrun Fourth Edition on Humble Bundle!

And @reversalwizrd.bsky.social is coming to save (or wreck) us in game 2 as well? Not the hero we deserve, but the one we need!
Verdict?
That's a pretty solid lineup, no lie. Lots of heavy hitters.
I wasn't sure anyone would know it... goes hard to be sure. If you like this and can tolerate the darker side, Psycho-Pass is S-tier.
Yeah... it's the guilty pleasure/trash TV of the list, but if it's "get to know me" not "My opinion of the best out there" then yeah, I like me some angels packing curves ;)
Quote tweet w 10 anime to get to know you.
(10? This is gonna be telling... )
- Ghost in the Shell
- Psycho-Pass
- Howl's Moving Castle
- Knocking on Heaven's Door
- Macross Plus
- RWBY
- Blame!
- Blackrock Shooter
- Sekirei (sue me)
- Mary and the Witch's Flower
- March comes in like a Lion
So I have a new Bo1 Standard concoction which I think is pretty original. Definitely not optimal yet but hilarious to play and quite potent.
