Magic Variant of the week.
Dandan has inspired other great mini games. Here’s another.
Derek Neumann’s Savage Scallywags. A black shared library game based around Wanted Scoundrels where killing them replenishes the mana spent on them so it’s always an uphill battle.

I finally got a new episode out. Been a busy month. m.youtube.com/watch?v=A6nR...
Magic Variant of the week.
Dandan has inspired a lot of great mini games. Here’s another.
It’s Miguel Grados’ Hot Sushi. A red/artifact board control game with a Lantern Control sub-theme, based around Red Herring, another two mana fish. It’s Sushi time.

Magic Variant of the week.
They won’t all be mine. Dandan has inspired a lot of great mini games.
This week it’s my Dandanless Dandan deck. No life. Just the cards in the library. It’s more fun and interesting than think. Plays faster than Dandan.

Hey, Dan! Recent updates has it singing again. For quite a time it was slogging a little. Revisiting it again soon since I have not thoroughly digested the last 5 or so years of in universe sets.
My Google Doc for RPS now contains printable proxies. Now you can print the whole thing and sleeve up proxies to try it tomorrow. After FF/Dandan it is my oldest and most fun variant. Give it a try! I'll update the proxies as I make changes to the deck. docs.google.com/document/d/1...
I’ve signed quite a few Dandans for players and given away many too. I’m all out now, again. Today I signed my first Secret Lair Dandan, and one of the same player’s Memory Lapse. The gold paint marker looked great.
The chance to attend @shoebox.gg had me wondering what is it about this game that keeps pulling us together. The world weighs heavy, but time and time again I'm always astounded by the joy we find in Magic. I continue to try and capture those feelings.
Please enjoy, Dear Magic

I gotta fix that card. Forgot to swap the Reach Through Mists.
It was great meeting you and playing some of the most memorable games I played all weekend.
That was a great game. Decking endgames are usually pretty memorable.
Missed the Dandan Secret Lair drop... because we were at @shoebox.gg, busy playing the DanDan Secret Lair with its creator, @magicstorytime.bsky.social
I'd love to snag one someday, but I think we got the better trade here lmao
Yeah, they sent me a leftover from Atlanta in December. Thankfully. I wish everyone who wanted one had the chance to get one. But maybe some day there will be another chance in some form.
And I guess it’s gone. 45 minutes.
It’s up. Go fish!
That’d be awesome, Dean! My down under brother from another mother.
The official article on Secret Lair: Dandan went up this morning. It was a dream leading this with @corriganabe.bsky.social, but I cannot stress enough that this wouldn't be possible without @magicstorytime.bsky.social.
Magic's players are its legacy.

A hand of the Secret Lair dropping SOON (TM)
Dandân Creator award for Nick Floyd
If you’re interested in checking out the Dandân secret lair, check out the Carnival Area at Shoebox! @magicstorytime.bsky.social is hanging out playing games! Give it a look!
MY GOAT
Thirty years ago, Nick Floyd created a wildly popular two-player Magic format played with a single shared deck. Now, Secret Lair is bringing our own take to the table — transforming Dandân into a deck of our own, coming soon.
Very cool. In my experience the more you play these things the more the “problems” will show themselves and you can weed them out. Keep creating.
I know this is a cash grab but... please let there be Secret Lair: Rock, Paper, Scissors!!
Well, I gotta second that.
Hey, Dean! I was trying to combine the two decks in some way but failed. Dean thought of it and it works better than you’d expect. Thanks, Dean! So fun.
So I have two “fishy” Magic variants. Forgetful Fish and Red Hot Seizoned Fish. Here is a fun thing to do if you build them both. docs.google.com/document/d/1...
Saturdays are for the fish @magicstorytime.bsky.social @clairetheegg.bsky.social
It was a ton of fun!
Well I have my quick-start cards for players to just grab and play a game they maybe know nothing about. Here is the FF one. But it doesn’t answer questions that may arise like I try with my google doc primers.
