I'm building a new Commander deck for Magic: The Gathering, and in doing so, I have set aside two others from my collection to take apart in the process. Sometimes an idea seems fun at first, but loses

Time for a break from serious posts & deep thoughts. It's game night! I am not the most proficient Magic: The Gathering player. I do not have an encylopedic knowledge of cards, combo pieces, and keywords.

First off, the title is metaphorical, not literal, so cool it. That's one of the ways a black deck usually plays: my life total is just another resource to be spent. If my opponents bleed out before I

Long ago, when trading card games were brand-new, people didn't sleeve their cards. They played them naked, completely unaware that their cardboard game pieces might one day buy a freakin' house. As time

Still, I was grateful that I was not eating alone in a prison cell. The pregnant young woman was at the far edge of the table from where I sat. I couldn’t hear her when she mentioned her name. She seemed

My birthday was last month, and @generikat generously bought this Commander deck as a gift for me. It's from the relatively recent Duskmourn: House of Horror set, which (surprise, surprise!) has a horror

Way back in January, I wrote a post about my attempt to build Wilson, Refined Grizzly and the Flaming Fist background into a voltron-style commander with +1/+1 counters and pump spells. After some playtesting,

Ich schaue momentan viel zu viel Commander-Content auf YouTube, und dabei kam mir schon vor einiger Zeit die Idee, dass es sicher total viel Spaß macht, beim Deckbau ein wenig RNG einzubringen. Der Name

I've been pretty well knocked out by illness and subsequent slow recovery for the last couple weeks, but I'm getting back on my feet bit by bit. While on a recent trip into Spokane to assemble a flat-pack

Today, the dawn greeted me in all its glory—armor polished, sword sharpened, army assembled. They await my command, and I… take a selfie. A great commander must not only fight but also document history.

Magic: The Gathering (MTG) differs from other collectible card games in its embrace of alternative rules and formats. Broadly speaking, there is only one way to play Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Lorcana, or other

I've noticed something odd about my decks. I don't know what others usually build, but mine lean heavily into token swarms. This isn't deliberate. I like horde armies in various games, but it's not a theme

It's been a while since I've written a deck list for Magic: The Gathering. The trouble is, when I get started on one deck, I find ideas to refine or build so many other decks along the way that sometimes

Way back in August, I hinted at a deck idea based on copying stuff and stealing stuff, and now it's time to show the bare bones of the deck I have in mind. See it on Moxfield here! This is not at all ready

This week, I'm trying a slightly different take on the kind of deck I wrote about last week. That deck was designed to inflict damage by making everyone draw. It's a tall order to defeat three opponents

Introduction Corlys Velaryon, played by Steve Toussaint, is a character in the TV series “House of the Dragon”, a prequel to the famous “Game of Thrones” series. Corlys Velaryon is known as the Sea Snake,

Way back in 2016, I wrote about an earlier version of this deck when I was trying TappedOut. It was fun, but by no means a powerhouse deck. It was good for casual events, but not capable of holding its

I've been refining my numerous Commander/EDH decks and pondering how well they would fare against one another or against the decks other people might build. Online groups and forums casually toss off numbers

Fun is the goal here, not power, that said: This deck can do absolutely disgusting things in the right hands.

Lets Jam some EHD!
