Wondering if their are any area that are chill with playing commander at? For example like a Barnes and nobles or something. I have never played in these places so I just wanted to know if there were any in the Manhattan area.

Hello, I've been toying with making a mono-red infect deck for a while now. Why? Because I feel it'd be totally unexpected and also not that great. That said, there isn't much support that I've been able to find to make such a jank deck a reality. The commander I've chosen for the deck is [[Delina,Wild Mage]]. She's my personal favorite commander and I feel she can perform a respectable job of being at the helm. Creating tokens to do the fighting instead of the originals. I have basic Delina support cards like [[barbarian class]] and [[wyll, blade of frontiers]]. Infect Cards I've found include [[corpse cur]] [[ichorclaw myr]] and [[razor swine]] [[Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hey everyone. I’m looking for my first Commander deck. I’m a bit of a fan of black/green, but I don’t know what’s beginner-friendly.

I’ve played only Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokémon before I want to many local card shops and I liked them a lot so I decided to try Magic as it’s the last of the Big 3 Trading Card Games and Yu-Gi-Oh took a lot of inspiration from it

So I went to a card shop and it was an awful experience for context at places with Yu-Gi-Oh I’d often see Magic and Pokémon player’s try Yu-Gi-Oh for the first time and usually they would use their respective games language to understand Yu-Gi-Oh

But with Magic if you accidentally call Exiled Banished even on accident I’d get a large sigh and a firm correction there was no friendly atmosphere I wasn’t given a chance to learn about anything many players even just used my lack of knowledge just to get free wins by hiding important information away

I tried going to multiple different stores even stores I’d usually play Yu-Gi-Oh in and it was always like this I do hope there is a store that has Magic players with a more of a casual vibe (this isn’t me trying to convince you to play Yu-Gi-Oh or Pokémon I’m just sharing my story so I don’t lose hope in finding a locals more welcoming to newcomers as I know that exists somewhere)

I’ve seen a rat card in the fallout secret layer and i was wondering if any rat cards are in secret lair sets. Besides year if the rat of course

TLDR: Anyone already create decklists for all ten of the Bloomburrow tribes, using only cards from Bloomburrow, that would make a balanced play experience against each other?

I like having as part of my Magic collection kits of decks that are good pick-up-and-play bundles, where other players don't need to have their own collections and yet can participate easily and have the play be at least relatively balanced.

Wizards has released some preconstructed kits like this (Game Night and Archenemy sets, notably), and I have assembled my own from "Intro Decks" that previous sets have had (e.g. my Dragons of Tarkir kit). With the Bloomburrow set, there's ten tribal pairings possible (all five allied color pairs and all five enemy color pairs), but as far as I can find, Wizards only released two "Starter Kit" decks for the set.

I want to create a set of 60-card decks, one for each Bloomburrow tribe, using only cards from that set, to have as a play kit. But before I start on this adventure, has anyone already done similar and created decklists for all the tribes? My goal is I'll collect or design those over time, and come back and edit this post with the decklists I come up with, in case others want to do this play style too.

Trusting a blue player with 8 open mana is certainly a choice. Guy played his infinite combo of elves and counters, said he stopped at 10,000 of each, attacked and got rifted. He wouldn’t talk to me afterward. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m a new Magic player and a teacher. My school wanted teachers to create clubs to share their interests with students to teach skills and increase socialization. So I started a Magic Club.

After a Welcome Pack donation from my local game store, someone told me about the Magikids resource, I applied and received a package from them.

My kids LOVED it. They were kind of iffy at our first meeting but after we got the welcome packs and the resources from Magikids, they were like “Miss, this is lowkey hype,”

Just really enjoyed sharing Magic with my students and wanted to share!

Built these 3 decks, feel free to critique them! I’m still learning and I want to do better!

Those of you who pay for the pro versions of either which one do you think is better and why. Trying to decide where to load my collection into.

I started MTG: Arena a few weeks ago. I play few times a week. I have unlocked the 5 mono-coloured starter decks, but I have yet to unlock the 10 dual-coloured starter decks (I have only unlocked 2).

I completed the Starter Deck Duel event and completed it. I thought that I could unlock all the decks this way. However I only unlocked 1 dual-coloured starter deck. At first I thought this was a glitch and played with another deck and I unlocked it when I won a game.

How do I unlock the rest? I have only about 3 games, the rest about 6 in total I have won because the other player conceded (happened once) or the timer ran out on them. It feels like they playing with much more powerful decks. I cannot change the cards in the deck and can only play with it. I have unlocked only the red/white and blue/green decks.

Either that or someone should make a battle box/cube

I imagine the damage is negated because he is the source of the damage but I just want to make sure.

Also, same question but what happens when the equipment is removed? Unattached is before the colon so that can't be responded to. But if the equipment is destroyed before cap deals damage equal to its MV, does he now deal 0 damage? Or does he deal damage equal to MV because of a time stamp or something?

Hello! I was in a situation last night with my Bello Deck and wanted to know what the best way to get the most damage in with the new Combat/Damage Rules when assigning damage.
Scenario:

1. I have Gratuitous Violence and Fiery Emancipation on Board
2. I attack with 2 of my 6/6 indestructible creatures with Deathtouch and Trample
3. The opponent blocks both with 6 1/1s blocking on each of my attackers

Q1: Can I assign all 6 damage to 1 1/1 and trample 5 over? Making it 30 damage?
Q2: Do I have to assign 1 damage minumum to each creature? If, does nothing trample over?

I have been slowly working to fill out a collection of the Strixhaven Mystical Archive cards, and once I found the secret Lairs and promos, I think I am up to 70 unique arts (only collecting English versions).

With 12 slot binder pages, I'll have 2 empty slots in the pages. What cards would you add to match the theme/feel of the Mystical Archive cards?

Hey I got Exit from Exile precon for a great price and I don't want another gruul commander. There are a lot of great value red cards in the deck like Nalfeshnee, Delayed Blast Fireball, Jeska's Will or Passionate Archaeologist.

I have a few ideas about what to do with the deck, focusing on the Exile theme and I can't decide which seems the best. Those are:

1. Make a mono red deck with [[Laelia, the Blade Reforged]] as a commander

2. Swap green for black and make a [[Prosper, Tome-Bound]] deck

3. Add blue and make exile focused deck with [[Loot, the Key to Everything]] or make it more of a cascade deck with [[Maelstrom Wanderer]]

4. Add white and make [[Rocco, Street Chef]] deck, he sounds fun but I already have two +1 counters deck and I don't really know if I want another (maybe I can build him differently tho)

Hey yall, I recently started playing MTG , and I've been looking at different deck types and I decided on building a draw/mill deck.

Was wondering if anyone had any ideas of card I should take out and sub in, especially with foundations just released i was curious if anyone had any ideas.

Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

I would have said it's a scam if it wasn't walmart. I get it may not have been overwhelmingly popular but do box regularly and randomly go for for 55% off?

I just did my first ever event - a prelease sealed draft at my LGS and loved it. I played back in the 90s and though I was very rusty managed a respectable fourth out of 20!

My store is holding a booster draft event this weekend. I'm still very fresh but tempted to sign up. I've never done booster draft. Are they super competitive? Will I be in over my head? I know the game but not really sure about card evaluation and the draft strategies.

Thanks for any advice!

Hello, last friday I was in my Commander league and I have a Valgavoth Harrower of Souls Deck. I had in play Torture pit room, soot imp, needlehead and arsonist, to proc a good chunk of damage each opponent turn but one of my oponents pointed that soot imp will NOT proc my torture pit because that was no noncombat damage, wich seems odd because is damage not caused by combat, he argued that there is combat damage, non combat damage like arsoniost or needlehead that the card DO the damage and a 3rd type of damage that is just lost of life like soot im in wich "the game hits you but not the card" I do not know if this is true and I rolled with it because I do not know the details of some rules.

Can any of you wizzards (of the coast.. or not) enlighten me.

Thank you.

Thank you to everybody that responded, yes, as a comment pointed, the explanation was a little bit Funky, but now I understand. Thank you!!!

I've been playing off and on for years, but never encountered banding. I have seen The Prof and other talk about how it's awful. Just wondering if anyone could shed some real gameplay reasons why it's awful?

Hey everyone! New to this group, reddit, and also new to MTG after over a decade... Commander format and especially multi-player Commander is new territory. I enjoyed historic and pioneer. My deck theme is dragons 100%, but seems like the best option is The Ur-Dragon? Also, with all of the different Commander deck options now, would a dragon/treasure deck even stand a chance in a professional tournament? TIA!

I saw potential in Zul Ashur, Lich Lord and wanted to see if this was viable in cEDH. Built a deck and video around it to explain the many different combos within the deck that interact with one another. Key pieces are [[thronbite staff]] [[liliana, untouched by death]] and [[phyrexian altar]]

Interested to see what budget recommendations you would add to help tune out the deck. Ill provide the decklist and link to the video here!
