Commander tell: when someone untaps, stares at their hand, then counts their Treasures twice, the table should get nervous. Nothing fair has ever started with 'hang on, let me see something.' #MTG #Commander #EDH #Treasures #TableTalk #Playgroup #CasualCommander

Well I just impulse bought myself a shiny thing. 😳

They had an EX foil copy in stock for very near the price of a regular The Ozolith. I'm good with EX condition for very expensive cards I don't plan on selling, if I get a substantial discount (as I did here).

Wilson will be pleased. He can share with Skullbriar and Galadriel if needed.

Commander hot take: one extra turn spell is spicy, three is a hostage situation. What is your pods actual tolerance for extra turns? #MTG #Commander #EDH #ExtraTurns #BlueSpells #TableTalk #Playgroup

Sunday Commander question: what card hits the stack and makes the whole table grin, even if it might wreck the game? The big silly haymakers are part of the charm. What's yours?

Coveted Jewel might be the most Commander card ever. Draw 3, make 3 mana, then immediately turn the whole table into treasure goblins. Still slamming it every time. https://grimdeck.com/card/moc/353/coveted-jewel

Coveted Jewel

Artifact

Welcome to MTG Card Saturday!

Some cards you need to test in games to see how good they are. One of these is Firebender Ascension. Although you have to attack four times before it copies, it’s still a two-mana enchantment with the potential to copy all your combat abilities.

Beware: it triggers only on abilities that trigger on attack, so it can’t copy combat damage effects, unfortunately.

Consider picking one up!

Biggest Commander truth right now: no new rules voice will fix bad pregame conversations. 'Kinda casual' has started more nonsense than half the cards in the format. What do you actually say about your deck before game one? #MTG #Commander #EDH #RuleZero #TableTalk #Playgroup #MTGCommunity
Hidden gem: Collective Voyage. One green mana, whole table ramps, and somehow the player who times it best still comes out way ahead. Political ramp spells are way more fun than they get credit for. https://grimdeck.com/card/c16/145/collective-voyage #MTG #Commander #EDH #HiddenGem #Politics #Ramp #Deckbuilding
Collective Voyage

Sorcery

When choosing between multiple printings of a card, does anyone else consider how much they like the set symbol?

If all else is equal (art, price, frame, etc) I choose copies that have set symbols I like

For example I love the symbols for Commander Masters, any Double Masters set, LotR, Baldur’s Gate, Innistrad: Midnight Hunt, Modern Horizons 1 & 2 (but not 3). I am neutral to dislike on most other symbols. (No criticism of the set’s quality, just the symbol.)

Arcane Lighthouse is one of those lands that changes the whole table vibe. Hexproof Voltron feels a lot less comfy when one colorless land says, actually no. https://grimdeck.com/card/soc/361/arcane-lighthouse #MTG #Commander #EDH #Lands #Voltron #Interaction #CardAppreciation
