Tonight at 6 PM Eastern: my streaming debut! Gonna play some Standard on Arena and see if my skeleton army can withstand the double threat of Cori-Steel Cutters and Jeskai control feat. Shiko! Tonight's camera frame is Ozox. Hope to see you there!

Alright hereβs the sign up thread for the charity event Iβm running! It will be Saturday June 7th and will be Tuesday Brewsday Pride Partners!
You do not need a deck, you will be given random commanders and have 60-90 minutes to build a deck! All you need to do is stream your deckbuilding!
I died to my own camera frame of the night! Loved every second of it
Sign me up!
Wanna know something funnier than killing my opponent with Insatiable Avarice...? (25!) No for real, it's killing them with my Bob bat stolen off of their Ghost Vacuumπ #mtgstandard #mtg
Got my first streamed win! I was on my multicolor dragon Ramos deck! Even better, Junded 'em out with Karrthus and Meeting of the Five-d into a Ruinous Ultimatum! Thanks for the good game @enbysean.bsky.social @tautim0na.bsky.social @gwenthedragon.bsky.social β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
Update: Nekusar shortly thereafter was 3/3 Elk-ified... Sythis player got their Sterling Grove + Greater Auramancy out, as well as a Sphere of Safety...
Tonight in Commander: Who will win? 3 Enchantress effects, or 1 Nekusar?? (I am neither, I'm playing Riku of Many Paths lmao) #mtg #mtgcommander #edh
Just played a match where the esper pixie player sided in Temp Lockdown against me (valid). I had a Cult Conscript and two active Soulstone Sanctuaries... The operative word here was "nonland". My pixie matchup is actually pretty good! #mtgstandard #mtg
WOWZERS I love Insatiable Avarice in my mono-black skeletons brew! Typically I'm using the triple black mode to draw 3 cards. Tonight I've killed at least 5 people with it, too!!! #mtg #mtgstandard
Yuma makes reaching plant warrior creature tokens!
I tend to brew first, ask bracket/strength questions later. My numbers of removal/recursion/pro are trends rather than goals I shoot for. I also don't tend to run many if any gamechangers even in B4. My personal brewing philosophy rejects that staples must be in all decks of a certain color id.
My floor is 5 pieces of removal in my B3 Prismatic Bridge "Howdy Partner" deck (all the "Partner with" commanders except for Will/Rowan). My ceiling is 13 in a B4 Hashaton + Gyruda companion list. Typically, I run 6β9 pieces in B3 and 10β13 pieces in B4. I also run more recursion+protection in B4.
(Replying so I can do a quick analysis of my dozens of decks after I go grocery shopping)
Mostly Commander for me, but I'm gonna get back into Standard on Arena here soonβ’οΈ with mono-black skeletons!
I tend to agree with your takes on these! I think the indefinite mulligans can sometimes be taken advantage of by bad actors (similar to how people who misrepresent their deck/bracket can be bad actors) so I tend to only offer "keep a keepable 7" to people I've played with before.
I had to make a couple of decks to fit him in personally, since if I didn't stop myself I'd have approximately 13 Golgari decks...! Decided on multicolor dragons under Ramos (got the deck last week but the boy has not come out yet) and a Glarb but actually Jarad list I hope to build soonβ’οΈ
So excited to get this going in my latest list helmed by Glarb (but Actually Jarad)! archidekt.com/decks/128299...
Always a fun time on my partner @enbysean.bsky.social 's stream! Played Korlessa and pretty much ramped the whole game π Will say, it was fun looping Roiling Dragonstorm with a Virtue of Knowledge out!
Absolutely!
I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS LIST! Glarb, His Moistness! Aided by my secret commander Jarad! Sultai in this context is golgari plus blue ;) archidekt.com/decks/128299...
Made my first #PendragonMTG list! Gary, my beloved! Using the power of his Excalibur Helm of the Host, he multiplies! Otherwise, pretty much mono black control :D archidekt.com/decks/12910900
Thursdays are my paper Commander nights, any chance you'd be able to record it?
This person has harassed myself and many others in the Magic community. His name is Adam Lowe. He goes by Adam Demonic/AdamDefiant on socials. This is going to be a long π§΅
MY TIME TO SHINE! Group hug is my favorite! My main group hug deck is Riku! My secondary group hug deck is Second Doctor+Clara Oswald (on blue bc I didn't want to change off of azorius)! My "rubberbanding" (sometimes group hug, sometimes individual hug) deck is The Beamtown Bullies!
there's a scryfall atag for twinks (which imo has many men too thick to be twinks), and not one for butches.
people who tag art for scryfall i'm begging you
Thank you to @enbysean.bsky.social for lending me their @golgarigalsplashes.bsky.social alter of Darigaaz Reincarnated for my first run of my multicolor dragon Ramos deck!
