Magic Variant of the week. Another I have not played but is unique in that you can win by getting to 20 life or losing your initial 5. It’s Chef Chef. Another in my Non-Dandan playlist. Sharing as a video from Commander’s Quarters. m.youtube.com/watch?v=fc4i...

Magic Variant of the week. There’s a couple versions online. It’s Gambling Ghoul by Powerful Nothing on YouTube. There are at least four vids of these decks in my Non-Dandan playlist. Dropping It’s Not Good’s video since he has done some good work on it. m.youtube.com/watch?v=YnCQ...

Magic Variant of the week. Build both Forgetful Fish and Red Hot Seizoned Fish and play Red Fish, Blue Fish, 2-Headed Fish with three friends. Substitute virtually any Dandan Deck for FF. Silly fun combining two great shared library decks. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Magic Variant of the week. Ok. The one that started it all, and my original unaltered list. Forgetful Fish! Dandan and Memory Lapse. I’m going to do this, my red fish list, and my red fish, blue fish combo game over three weeks. Just cause. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Magic Variant of the week. I’ve never played but I find intriguing. The creator (Angry Green Jelly Bean) recently released an update video. It’s Miner Offence! Uses The Grand Calcutron, a weird “Un” card. Will proxy this one soon and got a Calcutron in anticipation. m.youtube.com/watch?v=qeAf...

Magic Variant of the week. Let’s do BaubBob (Greatness, at any cost). I played it with its creator at Shoebox and had to proxy it for my group. Manipulating the top deck to kill with Dark Confidant is fun. There are several versions but this is the one I played. moxfield.com/decks/jiCcr3...

Magic Variant of the week. One of mine. Red Hot Seizoned Fish. A red agro shared library game with lots of activated abilities, but watch out for Split Second on Word of Seizing, because you can’t activate in response. Inspired by Miguel Grados’ Hot Sushi. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Magic Variant of the week. JundJund! By Travis Norman. I haven’t played this one but I’ve heard it by name a bunch. The Janklord guys dropped this video a few months ago and my headshot appears in the video because I’m going to be guesting on one of their shows. m.youtube.com/watch?v=lciO...

Magic Variant of the week. This one predates my 2016 release of Dandan maybe but not its ‘96 creation. The Basic Land Game. Can’t find who originally created it, but it’s fast and fun. We use it as a warm-up game. Here is Skura’s primer. ultimateguard.com/en/blog/basi...

Magic Variant of the week. I was ill prepared so here’s another one of mine. Trippin’! One of the three I dropped in 2016 when I dropped Dandan. Not my style of play and I’m bad at it. But some like it. I’ve signed one Pyknite for someone. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Magic Variant of the week. Dandan has inspired other great mini games. Here’s another. Will Klein’s “Beyond Dandan.” A highly curated shared library game designed an engineer. Not based around “Dandan,” but sharing a library. Every card included very well thought out. cubecobra.com/cube/list/be...

Magic Variant of the week. Dandan has inspired other great mini games. Here’s another. Derek Neumann’s Savage Scallywags. A black shared library game based around Wanted Scoundrels where killing them replenishes the mana spent on them so it’s always an uphill battle. moxfield.com/decks/RzfsEx...

Magic Variant of the week. They won’t all be mine. Dandan has inspired a lot of great mini games. This week it’s my Dandanless Dandan deck. No life. Just the cards in the library. It’s more fun and interesting than think. Plays faster than Dandan. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I’ve signed quite a few Dandans for players and given away many too. I’m all out now, again. Today I signed my first Secret Lair Dandan, and one of the same player’s Memory Lapse. The gold paint marker looked great.
The chance to attend @shoebox.gg had me wondering what is it about this game that keeps pulling us together. The world weighs heavy, but time and time again I'm always astounded by the joy we find in Magic. I continue to try and capture those feelings. Please enjoy, Dear Magic bit.ly/4sikgxK

Missed the Dandan Secret Lair drop... because we were at @shoebox.gg, busy playing the DanDan Secret Lair with its creator, @magicstorytime.bsky.social I'd love to snag one someday, but I think we got the better trade here lmao
The official article on Secret Lair: Dandan went up this morning. It was a dream leading this with @corriganabe.bsky.social, but I cannot stress enough that this wouldn't be possible without @magicstorytime.bsky.social. Magic's players are its legacy. #WOTCstaff magic.wizards.com/en/news/anno...

Dandân has officially surfaced in Secret Lair! This 80-card, Fish-filled deck will be available tomorrow, March 16, through the Chaos Vault.
