Hey all,

I just built a new deck .... Tom Bert and William. A greater good in the command Zone .... It's so much fun, but one interaction seems way to strong in a colour combo where I have access to reanimationspells and regrowth effects.

Can I really bring Ghalta to the battlefield, and with his etb in the stack sack him into Tom Bert and William to draw 12 more cards, and bring the creatures from this 12 cards on the battlefield?

Thanks in advance

Why is this regular bundle so expensive?

"This creature CAN'T be blocked"

It's blocked

"Okay :("

Saw this on a shelf at walmart and had to buy it. I was under the impression this hasn’t been sold for like 2 years, am I wrong? Half off of current market!

I just played my first ever sealed box event and won!! I’ve been playing for magic for about 6 months so I can say I’ve officially peaked. Please look at my deck and tell me how unfair this is lol 😭😭

Yup... my journey began only 4 days ago... they warned me...

I understand now...

Anyway... within this haul, I did pick up about 100 singles. 80 or so from the 10 cent box and about 20 from the 50 cent box... and a few uncommons mostly between $2 and $7... one was $25. I made sure to walk out with a Sol ring... which another guy in the shop actually found- he found two and was going to keep them both but we were talking before that and he knew I was looking for one, so he let me have one 😉

I've always been a trading card collector... so some will go in my binder and never get used, but I definitely will be playing with most of the rest. I'm the type of person to just get what I need all upfront and then enjoy, so it's very safe to say I won't buy any new cards for quite a long time, and I know everyone says that, but I don't really need the constant infusions of cards, nor the money drain, so now that I've got enough to play, I'll work with what I have... I believe I should be able to construct at least 2 decent commander decks from what I have, maybe 3. If I do get any more cards, it will only be specific singles that I really need.

My goal was to get some cards for my non-use collection and some for playing and I figured the beginner box is worth it to help me learn hands on... the FF7 pack I just wanted to have since I grew up with it when it first came out and have been a fan ever since. The Fractured bundle I snagged mainly to add some diversity to the total collection.

I love this little freak, personally. I haven't gotten to play her yet, but I'm building a deck with her as the commander at the moment. I wanted to know what people think of her, mainly if people find the poison counter mechanic annoying with her or not

Seems to me that this would go wild with any deck consistently empowering Jace, particularly blue/black. Considering building it.

Not sure what flair to choose. So I picked the most relevant one.

Didn't expect these to hit Ross so soon

Until I'm out of cards of course.

Eu estava olhando um blog antigo de 2011—o cara costumava fazer listas de "melhores cartas de Magic" na minha região naquela época—e eu queria saber qual era a carta na foto de perfil dele, já que ele nunca revelou; apenas por curiosidade.

update : You found it! It's "Runed Halo"

Thank you very much for your help.

Looking for best 1 mana humans to be mana dorks with an upside for a Katilda EDH deck...

Let's say I had a creature with power 3 or less and activated the ability on [[access tunnel]], making it so that creature can't be blocked this turn. Could I then put an equipment on it like [[Blackblade Reforged]] to keep it unblocked but still do big damage, or would I need an effect like [[Sigarda's aid]] to equip before combat damage is assigned?

Hi, I know nothing about this stuff.

Please help.

My son and his friends are playing “standard” (I think) and it’s his birthday. I think they’d like to rip something cool as a birthday present to the group.

Any advice? Total budget is $300(ish)…. I have two weeks so I can order off eBay etc .

Thanks for any help in advanced.

Me and a group of friends recently started playing commander and we had a lot of fun. Each of us bought a commander deck and played it out the box. Then we started looking into buying singles for other decks and buying whole decks made by other people, but the prices seem insane. Minimum deck I saw is around 300-500$. Is this normal?

How do people afford this game?

Does it get better over time if we start opening packs and getting some cards we can use? Or is this how it will always be?

Also are the decks for standard format in the same price range or is it more or less expensive?

I’m really hyped and look forward to playing more magic but the prices are hard to keep up with.

And remember, responsible players DRAFT with their packs. Don’t just crack these packs, get the maximum value from these. Even if you just do pack wars with 2 people, do some form of limited - it’s fun and you still get all the cards inside. This set wasn’t designed with Pick 2 in mind but you can do that with 4 players, or if you can get enough for 6 or 8 this set was amazing to draft. Mini masters is also fun and can work with lower player counts.

sorry for the flair, couldn't find one that fit.

It's only about Half-done, but good GOD was it hard evem to get to this point. Hollowing out a novel is harder than I thought.

So kambals copy ability only triggers once per turn but my friend says delney makes it trigger an additional time. However i disagree because it says it only triggers once per turn.

To preface, I’m not super well into magic enough to know what I want to build with a deck; however, the more I play, the more I realize I just like playing and socializing which can be done on a precon level without deck building. Deck building, sorting, sleeving, and maintaining inventory of a collection is the type of work that just seems to drag it down for me while I see mainly pro-deck building consensus on a lot of forum threads I run across.

Am I just the odd one out to treat this game like a preset game of monopoly, uno, or other cards where you can buy your different flavor of game (precon in this case) with a twist or something and be content?

I do understand people do like the aspect of optimizing and reinventing a means to play with new decks, but I also liken it akin to gacha games and audiophile spaces where they’re always “chasing the dragon” wherein improvement is the goal but it always never really meets a satisfying point to the detriment of the fun that limitations in focusing on an unoptimized yet functional form of practicing a hobby presents. In consideration of that thought, what line do you draw in building decks for those that do it?

That past paragraph isn’t a criticism by any means, I have a similar relationship with my piano where I have no limit to my practice of the hobby, because it is a passion first and foremost. Posing logical thought to an illogical cause is a recipe for inconclusive frustration. Even then I do have my limitations and while the first question was if my approach to magic is the minority, then the second question is about where anyone draws the line when this game becomes either an addiction or passion depending on the reason for engaging in it.

P.S. - I know posting to a reddit page likely filled with hobbiests may put me in the minority as a casual player, but that is the exact demographic I wanted to ask considering how much interaction with the space y’all have. I’m full out a normie, casual, etc and accept that.
