Also didn't want to build a modern deck and go into the Friday event with barely any practice, so playing the sealed event and deciding if I want to buy 2 Solitude or sell the 2 I have. I’ll be there doing commander stuff all weekend. Come see me and get one of my logo patches.

BizarroAzrael posted:Have they announced more for Magic 30? They said tickets would go on sale in July along with some more details but I've not seen. Not a lot of new news, no - there’s actually been a big commander event announced in Utah like 2 weeks after Vegas and it seems like a LOT of artists and Magic personalities are attending that. Maybe instead? Idk

Ok I said I was going to do this so here we go: Hey folks, I'm Chris and I'm YOUR Commander Mechanic. I was invited as a creator to the first ever MTG Summit by Kingdoms in SLC this past weekend, and here's my experience. Disclaimer: thanks to the affiliate program my flight and stay were both comp'd by Kingdoms. So let that color this however it may. For a first time TO Kingdoms did a lot right and had a lot of issues as well. Funneling event registration through a hastily-built app was a mistake but the alternatives (manually or via Magic Companion) were, understandably, just as worse. But this app also tracked your prize tix as well so as to eliminate physical media so... meh. The issue was that hiccups would drop people from events seemingly randomly or by mistake, and if you had overlapping events - ones you signed up for that were approaching while you were still in an event - it was a crapshoot as to which one they'd drop you from. And when some events you paid in advance for, that was not cool in a lot of occasions. One fan told me a nightmare story of getting randomly drawn to be part of Sanderson's cube then was dropped from it by the app because he had signed up for a prerelease lol They also did this weird-but-cool thing where all VIPs and Creators were automatically enrolled in all events, so they could just show up and take part without having to worry about signing up. But it ended up being a nightmare when like 200 people dropped from events in round 1. idk how much of a logistical nightmare that ended up being but hey we got free prerelease kits for it. I spent most of my days in the Commander area, obviously. This event did this really cool thing called Creator Clash, where VIPs could sign up (or just show up lol) and jam games with creators. Everyone was given free precons so there was no issue with deck mismatches, which was a BIG big brain move. However Kingdoms was understaffed for this and asked the Degen Games crew (MTGNerdGirl's team) to run this for them. Poor Brittany worked like a maniac all weekend to make sure this was a good experience for fans. She deserves a medal! But this feature is something a LOT of TOs should do with invited creators; it's very cool and was a big draw for people to buy VIP passes to get face time with people like Prof, Kibler, the PWP guys, and some goon like me. The Commander area was packed all 3 days and, unlike Magic 30 in Vegas, there was no differentiation between the Commander freeplay area and the "Command Zone". Everyone could play with everyone, signing up for the Command Zone just got you on demand event tix. It meant the pool for players was MUCH larger and everyone just got to enjoy playing games. Very cool. I brought 5 decks with me of varying power scales and ACTUALLY played all of them. Plus the precons. Plus some other peoples' decks. There was a "green room" for creators and artists and judges that was fully stocked with snacks and food and drinks, which was a nice touch. It was a haul and a half across the con center and a little hard to find at first but I've never seen another event do this either and it was good for a break. A quiet space to make sure 'talent' wasn't overwhelmed or dehydrated. A+ Apart from that the highlight was hanging out with people. Seeing fans, meeting new friends, and seeing old friends again. In that, the event absolutely kicked rear end. https://twitter.com/CmdrMechanic/status/1592925540708933634?s=20&t=0pDC83d85HJ_5PBNaRnk4w

I brought my Drake posted:I can't think of a magic video or podcast series that doesn't make me cringe or roll my eyes after listening to the first couple episodes. Even quest for the janklord is getting hard to watch now that they are doing sponsored stuff with dragon shield. I hear that Commander Mechanic person (me) is pretty ok.

Salvor_Hardin posted:I still wish they would pick a set to not do any leaks/spoilers and just have people show up blind to the pre-release and figure it out in real time. Previews serve a lot of purpose for marketing tho. Retailers need to know if the set is any good before they place orders. Not having previews is like a movie or game not doing reviews before release.
