I put Fall of the First Civilization in Polukranos Reborn as some early card draw that prevents decks from killing me before I got going and it has been a real house. On turn 3, this makes aggressive decks think twice about getting too far ahead and bunches up artifacts in hand.
Them: "Rachel, you building anything new?" Me: "NO. THESE ARE JUST IDEAS. STOP LOOKING AT ME."
We powered things up a bit to play with Post Malone and I built a SPICY Notary Hobbits deck that casts big colorless threats and even bigger X spells. If you don't mind a little Eldrazi with your hobbits, it is a very cool deck. archidekt.com/decks/22805626

Psssst. Nephilim Epochal might be the Five-Color Orvar commander of your dreams. Don't tell your playgroup I told you. 🤫🤫🤫🤫
Hatsune Miku isn't my thing, but THANK YOU WIZARDS for this change. Happy to wait for products if we get a chance to buy them! magic.wizards.com/en/news/anno...
Vintage Magic the Gathering art! What a surprise to learn that an unpublished oldie for Magic finally gets a release! There are a couple more in their archive that have yet to see the light of day, so you never know.🤞
Let me demonstrate how to Unicorn for you.
LevDev Quandrix Gradulate@levdev.bsky.social · 4w ago.... ..... Players are going to do some silly shenanigans with this commander.
I absolutely LOVE the multiplayer mechanic exploration of these cards. It's just peak Commander. Itazura is such a cool/cute/awesome Commander for UR.
This video caused me to gather data on my personal win percentages in each seat at the Commander table and I will never recover from this information. (The third column shows how changed each win percentage is from my average win percentage.)
The Command Zone@commandcast.bsky.social · last mo.Is going first in turn order overrated? We crunched the numbers on our own games and the answer might surprise you. Don't miss the latest episode: youtu.be/bBZ-PvOyYKY CC: @joshleekwai.bsky.social @wachelreeks.com
I've spent the last few weeks assembling a friendly neighborhood postman deck, featuring such mail-related cards as: Dispatch, Inherited Envelope, and Four Knocks. I played him for the first time today and it's a blast. archidekt.com/decks/238224...
That’s a wrap on #MCAmsterdam! We had an absolutely incredible time hanging out with the amazing European Magic community. A massive thank you to everyone who packed the house and cheered their lungs out for #GameKnightsLive. Next up: #MCAtlanta in November. See you there!
This will go in more of my Commander decks than Erode and it’s not close.

Been keeping this under my hat for ages and HOLY CRAP IM SO EXCITED.
Magic: The Gathering@magic.wizards.com · 2mo agoMystery Booster Commander Edition comes to MagicCons and Festival in a Box later this year! This is a Commander draft set featuring 20 card packs, tons of Legendary reprints, and 59 new cards designed for Commander play.
Arriving in Amsterdam with a rather conservative Magic bag. Can’t wait to see you all!
Packing for MagicCon Amsterdam means making some tough calls. This is the final deck lineup. Old: Dreadmaws archidekt.com/decks/656777... New: Excava archidekt.com/decks/217485... Aggro: Dihada archidekt.com/decks/459341... Blue: Esper Threeanimator (Canlander) archidekt.com/decks/205681...
Rachel Weeks@wachelreeks.com · 2y agoWhen selecting decks to bring to conventions, I am follow the bridal model: Something old Something new Something aggro Something blue
In light of recent news, I will be launching my own format. It's actually called Canadian Highlander. There's a points system - no, not those kind of points (the ones that get you prizes) but ones that allow you to play some of the game's most busted cards - and yes, this includes Mana Crypt.
The Greatest Show in the Multiverse is returning to Europe for a superpowered showdown at #MCAmsterdam! Experience the spectacle with special guests @filipamtg.bsky.social and MTGGoldfish’s @budgetcommander.bsky.social starting at 3PM, but get there early to grab a good seat! #MTG #sponsored
