Kill for Mogis! @mycroft@wubrg.social

(wubrg.social is becoming more and more inaccessible to me, with frequent SSL certificate errors, so I'm not posting nearly as much as I'd like to. for the time being I'm merging talking mtg over on my main account @Mycroft@meow.social along with my normal stuff.)

#Introductions

I'm a budget casual player of #mtg, mostly #Commander #EDH, though I've dipped into #Oathbreaker.

Most of my cards come from RTR and Theros blocks, when I got into the game. I have a much lower budget now, and try to stick to cards that I already have in my pool.

I play primarily Naya :red::green::white: and subsets.

I keep inventory of cards I have and decks I've built over at https://deckbox.org/sets/404272

I don't play MTGO or Arena much.

Sorry, the SSL errors and getting cut off from notifications on wubrg.social is going on too long. I want to keep talking about Magic: the Gathering, so I'm moving accounts over to @thorgrit

Main account is still @Mycroft@meow.social

I went to the #afr #mtg prerelease, and sorting cards later, I've got a discrepancy

I have 6 rares/mythics, 19 uncommons, 59 commons, 6 basic lands, and 1 promo

that's one uncommon too many and one common too few

does an uncommon get dropped in a common slot sometimes? I have some foils and variants if that means anything

got counters ready for the prerelease to use with the class cards

AFR contains no minotaurs, thus is a terrible set, and will go down in history being shunned as one of those sets that doesn't have minotaurs.

oh wow I had no idea signets and talismans were actually so cheap

five bucks and my real cards deck is getting upgraded

bye cluestones and lockets

Commander Night at FLGS was super fun this time around! Got paired against non-competetive pubstompers, and got to play my Ghired deck, be a credible threat, but also lose fairly.

They even let me try out my custom Brogmir deck, based on [[Michonne, Ruthless Survivor]]

Go for the eyes, Boo, GO FOR THE EYES!

in other news I never played the video game this guy is from, and only just now heard his iconic voice line, and immediately identified it as Jim Cummings

found out after I got there and registered that the casual Commander night the FLGS had told me about a couple weeks ago turned into a tournament with prizes for winners

fuck me then, got pubstomped

Is access to wubrg.social still intermittent for anyone else, or is it just me and my weird VPN?

I got to taking with friends last night about how I didn't like shuffling so much during gameplay. I don't run tutors, but I do play green, so Rampant Growth and Cultivate are staples for me. I brought up that it's too late now, but what if those kinds of effects just made basic land tokens.

He came up with the idea of a zero tutors cube, zero basic lands, with the idea of a custom rule: instead of playing a land from your hand, exile a card, and you get...

got my newest cube printed out and trimmed, now all that's left is sleeving

only one damaged during the process

inspired by the joke of "they're running out of ideas for commanders, next one will be 'whenever you draw a card, draw a card'."

hardcasting your 6 mana commander on turn 3 is a hell of a drug

I love green

Since I finally actually got to play Magic for the first time in forever, and so many games too, I brewed three new decks over the weekend.
