It’s probably the last deck box I’ll ever buy, so I’m considering splurging a little. It’s also the only time I’ve ever given the Prof a dime for the 5+ years I’ve been watching his content

I'm getting one regular Prof package one, and another Prof package but with all the exclusive alt art on the box, playmat, life counter, those candy looking +1/+1 tokens and some treasure merfolk, and dry erase tokens.

Currently amping myself up to pledge for a second box. Already getting the library playmat and those cool tokens

x-posting from MTG sales thread: Got a sort of unusual pitch I’m trying to sell this Commander deck. Ideal for new, current, or lapsed players who want a nice mid-power battlecruiser deck that has lots of bling, or maybe a gift for your partner or friend who has been meaning to get into the game but doesn’t have the time or know-how to brew and build a deck.  My Moxfield Link says the deck is approximately $205 on TCG low, without any of the accessories. I am asking for $200 + Shipping for The Deck -sleeved & double sleeved -Custom Alter Sleeves so that the Commander exclusive mutants match the Ikoria showcase frames  and I’m also including the Satin Tower orange deck box and both sets of dice. This is absolutely everything you or your recipient would need to sit down at almost any table and have a good, balanced game with fun and cool cards  I’ve collected foil showcase versions of every mutant and the deck looks really great in action, like a little museum of cool alternate arts. I’ll also include all the little custom alters I made by cutting up the giant oversized Otrimis that come with the Precon. I know this isn’t the normal kind of sale but I just wanna make room for more stuff and I’ve had to power this deck down multiple times and it still just deletes my playgroup unless they gang up on me. Rather than start breaking up the shiny foil mutant family I have chosen to sell it to a good home (where you can piece it out on your own).

I cut BoP and Deathrite, originally the entire mana base was untapped except for Zagoth Triome, and instead of the bland mana rocks I had more premium spot removal like rear end Trophy and Abrupt Decay. I refuse to cut down on the mutants because there aren’t that many of them and I only really play the good ones. The X-Spells are there because… it’s an X-Men theme deck… and I had to cut Agadeem’s Awakening because my opponents would exhaust their resources clearing my board again and again and I would just put 5 mutants back into play. The only other merciful cuts I could make would be the mutate bases, Needle Specter and Cephalid Constable, because when they swing on T4 as a 6/6 flying trample it’s functionally the same as dealing them 10 poison, they are removed from the game. The “problem”, such as it is, is that the deck has a mini-primetime. Every game just becomes “Oh look, Auspicious Starrix is here, now I will funnel all mana and resources into triggering them over and over” and it’s just sooooooo much more linear than I’d envisioned, but once you’re in a boardstate looking at what’s happening, it just always makes the most sense to dump your deck directly into play for free. I wouldn’t cut him because it’s a mutate deck and he’s the definitive best mutant, but I don’t like it when a deck has obvious power outliers like this.

His deck cost more than everyone else's put together and the other players were unwilling to focus him and he won every game he played with trivial ease. I never went back. This doesn't make any sense to me. Like, how is that fun for anyone involved, including the deck owner? And then just playing that same deck multiple times?  I've merged two playgroups together and for a New Capenna release party it'll be like 3.5 groups all playing together and every group before starting always asks how hard/spicy we're gonna go. And when a deck just gets to go off from turn 1 yeah you cheese it up and let it roll cause that feeling is so loving goooooooood when it happens to you

I'm thinking some sort of Voltron build for Toluz where you grow her through connive and then get to refill your hand if/when she gets killed. The deck could have a cycling subtheme since you'd get those cards back when she dies, even if cycling itself won't grow her. E: Okay, maybe the connive idea was stupid 'cause there's probably not enough good cards/repeatable effects. Batterypowered7 fucked around with this message at 14:52 on Apr 12, 2022 |

Whenever someone attempts to roll a die to attack, I stop them and ask them why, and then point out whose life total matters and why. If they continue to random roll after that, I don’t play with them anymore. Some people just have soft, doughy brains and I don’t wanna waste time playing bad games with RNG dorks who are scared of making enemies because they threw 3 chip damage at the black Aristocrats player

It's just very simple brained politicking "Hey I didn't choose to attack you, it was the dice!" Also the number of people I see who do the "[x] has the highest life total so i'll attack them" as a sort of free pass for "that means you aren't allowed to get mad and exact revenge on me" I'm not going to bear a grudge for you attacking me for 2 when i'm on 38 and someone else is on 40 still. But maybe the person who is starting to assemble an egine of destruction could have a bit more pressure on their life so they have to hold up mana to respond and/or might have to chump with those creatures with spicy rules text on?

I roll a die as a joke if nobody has any blockers, it's basically a chump attack, and it's like turn 2. I expect to get called a coward, it's mostly just a joke, but it's definitely come back to bite me in the end, lol. I was playing a bit ago and one player could've taken out another, who arguably had the strongest deck (just not at the time) but instead he swung his player-killing creature at me so it could get chump blocked. That kind of soured me on that game, cause then the person with the strongest deck... won. After like half an hour of just those two players playing.

Rolling a die is weak politics. Explaining to the table why you are the underdog and how another player can steal the game in a single turn while you bop them in the noggin with your dude and then you steal the game with the pressure off you is the real big brain times.

I just lost a savage cEDH goon game because Winota correctly assessed the only way they could beat me (Heliod) was by letting the Blood Pod pilot farm them for resources in order to slow me down. I was biting through tongue while I watched Tana and Tymna just effortlessly waltz between an army of angry vigilant 6/6’s, but the Jedi Mindcraft at play was honorable, I’m used to controlling the board through fear but apparently our new Winota pilot has also read DUNE lol

Smothering tithe is literally fine, if everyone pays every time then everyone is slowed down to roughly the same speed. If I spend four mana and everyone just pay as for it every time then it takes two turns for me to get my mana value out of it.

Halo Stash is going to be ubiquitous I had no idea that card existed but edhrec says it's in like 20k+ decks, ha. Halo Stash will be a battlecruiser staple, but it probably shouldn't since it doesn't accelerate you at all for 2+ turns, you can get mana reflection for that, but I admit I'm super underestimating all the fringe b benefits of making a million artifact tokens over the next few turns.
