Just going to blabber on about non-sense: I agree with other comments about disliking Wizard's focus towards Commander. I'm more of a Cube/Limited player and many of these cards just aren't conducive to my Cubing habits.

My favorite card is probably [[Painter's Servant]]. Just look at that cute little guy. Also, despite my general dislike for combo, Legacy Painter is just so much fun.

Pet card: Serra Avatar. Showing my age a bit, I remember reading a spoiler for it IN A MAGAZINE. Scry I think. It blew my mind. Still a cool card, but not the powerhouse I envisioned.

I miss playing chord of calling decks in modern.

My hubs grew up with MTG and taught me how to play. We play every week now. I've managed to win a few games even!

My first deck was a crow themed deck I bought online which I slowly upgraded, now [[Storm Crow]] is my pet card along with Crow Storm

Thanks a bunch of doing this and for hosting this instance!

I recently built a [[Jon Irenicus]] deck and am excited to use it.

I’ve just got back into MTG after not playing for more than a decade.

Been struggling on where to start (again), so I ended up getting some Phyrexia and March of the Machine boosters and scored an [[Elesh Norn]]!

Now I’m trying to figure out how to build a deck around it. Or maybe do a Toxic/Proliferate one? Too many possibilities 😅

Thanks for building this community, and I also hope it continues to grow!

I have a lot of fond memories of Magic, from picking it up at summer camp in the early 2000s (I think we drafted RAV?), falling out of it, then rediscovering it in college while playing tabletop jank with my roommates.

I’ve gotten a few coworkers into Magic now, and built EDH decks for all of them, and we’re hoping to schedule our first game soon (probably as a Friday afternoon “team-building” meeting).

Started playing like two months ago. Working on my first commander deck, Dragon tribal, with Miirym. But I must confess that seeing the current products prices, even when I just buying singles, is kinda discouraging.

Hadn't played until recently but one of my friends got a bunch of lotr boosters and it got our friend group interested in it. Started playing a bunch of MTGA and now we're now having a little draft tourney in a couple weeks.

By far my favorite card is [[Confusion in the Ranks]]. The first time I layed my eyes upon it I just loved the mechanics of this card, and immediately started brewing a modern deck with it. Not the most competitive deck, but so much fun. Also stars some other cards that I think are awesome designs like [[Norin the Wary]] and [[Grinning Ignus]].

I'm hyped for the Doctor Who commander decks and need to find time to rewatch the series before release
