I am building a saproling token deck, but I cant seem to figure out what to cut out. There are too many cards I like in this.

Also, if there are some cards to add/change around, feel free to share.

Hello everyone!

New player here! This game is awesome 🤘

I recently got into Magic when a friend floated the idea that we all get a commander deck and play. It seemed like a fun idea, and with Bloom Burrow out (some of the friends said the deck was easier to learn than other decks). I picked up Bello 😁

My question is, how does Bello work with the enchantment & artifact cards when he’s on the field? I know it “turns them into 4/4 elementals with indestructible and haste etc. BUT do said enchantments & Artifacts allow you to trigger their abilities (card text) when you play them with Bello on the field?

Would the card trigger itself? As it comes into play, it sees itself as a creature and activates an effect on itself. Some friends say that’s not the case because of how it comes in on the stack? (I could be saying this wrong I am new!)

Any clarification would be awesome! Thank you

I'm doing a stun focused frost fae deck with a wilds of eldrain core in standard format blue/white colours and could do with some advice on which cards I should use

This is a place for asking simple questions that might not deserve their own thread. For example, if you have a question about a rules interaction, want sleeve and accessory recommendations, or suggestions for your new deck, then this is the place for you.

We encourage that you post any questions that you may have concerning Magic the Gathering here rather than make a separate thread for each question, though for now we won't require that you do so.

Rules Questions

Rules questions and interactions are allowed to be posted here, but if you need an answer quickly it may be best to use a dedicated resource like the 24/7 Magic the Gathering Rules Chat.

Deckbuilding Questions

If you're trying to get help with a deck, it is recommended that you post your decklist to a deckbuilding website so that it is easier to view. Some popular sites are Aetherhub, Archidekt, Deckbox, Deckstats, Moxfield, MtgGoldfish, and TappedOut.

Additionally, please include some description of what you are trying to accomplish. Don't just give us a decklist with no explanation, and don't ask extremely vague questions such as "what cards should I add to my deck to make it better?", because it's hard to give good advice in those cases. Let us know details, the more the better. Are you building with a particular strategy or theme in mind? Are there any non-obvious combo lines or synergies that people should be aware of? Are you struggling with a particular matchup, or are you finding yourself missing consistency in an important area, and need some help specifically for it? Let us know.

Commonly Asked Questions

I opened a card from a different set in my booster pack, is this unusual?

Don't worry, this is completely normal. If you opened a set booster, you have a small chance of obtaining a bonus card from a previous set. This is an extra card that does not replace any of the other cards in your pack, and is from a curated set of past hits that Wizards of the Coast has selected, which they call "The List".

You can view the contents of The List on Wizards of the Coast's official website. For example, the contents of The List for Streets of New Capenna boosters can be found here.

My foil card has a shooting start symbol over the bottom left. I can't find anything about it online.

All old-bordered foils have the shooting star symbol. Most sites that display card images just overlay a generic foil graphic over all foil cards, which doesn't include the shooting star. Your card is normal.

Hi everyone, I started playing Magic when The Lord of the Rings set came out, because some of my friends went into it a bit before and the theme of the set obviously matched my tastes.

I play commander on a group table that varies from 3 to 6 players.

Here is the decklist: https://www.archidekt.com/decks/8984173/sauron_the_dark_lords_zombieorc_army

As you may know, this Sauron can take a lot of different building directions and I chose the army one, and tried to make it heavily control, making my army slowly grow and survive (the reason why so many counterspells), dissuading my opponents to attack me and killing them in the late / very late game, passing through their board with all the escape solutions I have.

I did not include all the amass cards because I think lots of them are too weak, even for an army based deck.

Also, I do not believe in single removal cards in commander, and I like to wipe the board a lot (that’s why there is so many wraths).

I feel that the deck is at a step and I do not know how to make it stronger, but I’m sure there is some cards I missed that can make it better.

Also, I can give an explanation for every single card presence in the deck so do not hesitate to ask!

All suggestions are welcome, thank you!

Hi there, I have started my journey on mtg arena 2 months ago, playing mono red, I was thinking of buy my list on IRL and play on locals.

It should be a nice moment? Or is better to wait to the next release?

I check all the cards and is an avg price of 150$ ~ for mono red and cards like "slickshot" will be playable until 2026 Any suggestion?

Hey all,

So I'm going to be having a bit of fun with my next deck build and decided I'd make and play with some alt arts themed around Code Geass in my pods casual Commander games.

So far, I have:

[[Aminatou, the Fateshifter]] as Lelouch
[[Kotori, Pilot Prodigy]] as Kallen
[[Delney, Streetwise Lookout]] as Ohgi
[[Ertai Resurrected]] as CC (this I'm still a bit unsure of)
[[Nautiloid Ship]] as Shinkiro
[[Surgehacker Mech]] as Guren
[[Knight Paladin]] as Lancelot

I'm not too sure on what to use for Suzaku (possibly [[Aeronaut Admiral]]), Nunnally, Tohdoh (or his personal Knightmare Frame, Zangetsu), Tamaki, Cornelia, Viletta or Jeremiah (Orange).

Other vehicles I'm considering for the deck are:

[[Aerial Surveyor]]
[[Imposter Mech]]
[[Luxurious Locomotive]]
[[Mobilized Mech]]
[[Peacewalker Colossus]]
[[Prodigy's Prototype]]
[[Skysovereign, Consul Flagship]]

It's primarily a control deck with a strong focus on stax ([[propaganda]], [[windborn muse]], [[baird, steward of argive]], [[callaphe, beloved of the sea]], [[archangel of tithes]], [[ghostly prison]] etc) & flicker, just with a lot of cards you'd expect to see in the Code Geass anime ([[Smoke Bomb]], [[Reconnaissance]], [[No Mercy]], [[Supreme Verdict]], [[Pariah]], [[Virtue of Knowledge]], [[Preordain]], [[Temporal Mastery]] [[Shifting Grift]], [[Another Round]]).

Maybe this'll be fun for any fans of the series to give their input.

So all of the dnd secret lairs have a dice related to the drop as the preview image but don't have anything like a dice listed in the contents, I take it they wont come with the dice and are just doing "see we used a die, that means its dnd"?

I’ve got a sizable collection but have never really thought about buying a binder for tradable or more valuable cards. For those who have, has it been worth it? Are there any specific binders that are better than others?

hi everyone, my boyfriend’s birthday is coming up and i’m looking to splurge on a booster box for him. i’m looking on gameology but have realised there are quite a few types. i am not very educated in magic and was hoping to get some advise one which pack would suit his collection best.

he plays commander and usually goes for the tribal style of deck. he’s looking to build a rat themed deck, otter themed deck and the main deck he’s wanting to build is a mr house themed deck which is focussed on rolling dice.

i know this is very broad, i just need some advice on which booster box would be best. thank you!!

So, years ago I moved out and ended up leaving a couple of Ultimate Guard Monoliths home. After coming back to them, they're very unpleasant and... sticky? to the touch, after years of unuse, being left stored in a box.

I tried scrubbing them with water and a bit of dish soap, but the stickyness remain.

Any way you can think to restore them? Or should I just throw them away.

if I sacrifice let's say 3 food tokens, do I put 3 +1/+1 counter on target creature or is it just 1 +1/+1 counter for any number of permanents that leaves the battlefield?

Hello everyone, new here. Recently, my friends and I have gotten into MTG. So far, we’re all playing with commander precons. Friend #1: Undead Unleashed, Friend #2: Hail Caesar, Myself: Coven Counters. Friend #3 though, uses the First Flight precon. We’ve been having trouble dealing with his creatures throughout a couple games but it was never anything too crazy to deal with, until now.

Not long ago, he decided to spend $140 dollars to upgrade his precon and not tell anyone, and now we’re really struggling against it. The cards he bought are:

• [[Ariel Extortionist]]
• [[Akroma’s Will]]
• [[Ancient Gold Dragon]]
• [[Ancient Silver Dragon]]
• [[Archangel of Thune]]
• [[Serra’s Emissary]]
• [[Strixhaven Stadium]]
• [[Teferi’s Protection]]

Keep in mind the rest of our precons are not upgraded at all. What do I do to help fight against his newly upgraded precon? Do I make a new deck from scratch? Are there any upgrades I can make to help? Any advice will be appreciated, thank you!!

In the card text it says you can sacrifice any number of nonland permanents. Does this include food. And if that does include food then do you get to pay the mana to be able to gain the life from the food artifacts?

Answer: no. Thank you everyone!

So, Satya's ability is when he attacks, create a tapped and attacking token that's a copy of a target creature then get 2 energy tokens. Mishra's Factory land has the activated ability of turning itself into a 2/2 creature Assembly-Worker until end of turn. Would it just come in as a tapped land? Or would be attacking in some way?

I have recently got into MtG and I find myself loving the artwork for the Hour of Devastation cards from the Amonkhet release (egyptian theme + apocalypse theme = perfection!)... I know there's an Art of Magic - Amonkhet book but does anyone know if it also includes all of the Hour of Devastation artwork? I haven't spotted a separate book for that anywhere. If not is the HoD artwork available in some kind of book form?

So we know there's a ton of people in Duskmourn that 'turn' and either fall in with the razorkin, or the cult, or something like that. What I'm thinking is, what if- or why isn't there- a third faction of just the cool, Jack and Sally kind of people who just really loved Halloween and are happy to go kind of evil and just make it their entire life? Rather than dressing up in spikes and bloody leather you could just put on a fine suit and lounge in the House's chairs, sip wine maybe, indulge in being a freak. Like the Addams Family!

Like, you're kind of against the Survivors but only in the sense that you yourself have so much fun scaring them and it's fulfilling to finally get to be able to act out your spooky dreams. Maybe the House kinda thinks 'you know, these guys are actually kind of cool with me, I'll leave them alone. Sorta' and they actively work towards making the House more spooky and dangerous, but not in the bear traps and broken glass sense.

I just think that it might be cool to kind of have a 'softer' or 'middle ground' faction or group that, while still evil and against the Survivors ostensibly, are still kinda cool guys. Maybe they could be mostly White/Black colour based?

'We'll have Halloween on Christmas, and in the night we'll wish this never ends, we'll wish this never ends...'

I'm relatively new to magic (almost a year) and I play mostly commander, with really specific deck builds. But in my collecting and playing and buying I have almost 3 binders full of other cards. I'd love to just play a chill 60 card format where I can just build decks out of the cards I have. I've been told to do either Pioneer or Pauper but even those seem to have strict deck builds or highly recommended ways to play.

Hello there! I’ve recently gotten into Magic, and I have played it a few times but with friends decks. But I was wondering where is the best place to find commander decks? I see a couple I like on amazon, but what else are good places?

So I’ve gotten to know my current deck, Sauron, pretty well now and just need to save up for the expensive cards (rocks and duals) to really boost the power. However I’ve noticed I keep getting whooped by strong enchantments. So I need to introduce some enchantment removal and I need so tips.

I would also like some ways to pull enchantments back out of the GY as my playgroup won’t let me keep mine on for very long, even if they let other opponents enchantments stay up.

Of course I’m new and addicted so I’m looking for a commander for my next deck. I want to focus on churning out clue/food and/or treasure tokens. I really liked the MKM precon deep clue sea but wanted to know if there was a better commander for that strategy.
