I saw the discounted planeswalker set at my local shop and as a new-player, I already knew my purpose: collect ALL the Kenrith cards. Anything for my waifu.

It's been a couple months now and I've managed to nab a lot of cheap cards and tinker with it. More important than the objective functionality - LOOK AT ALL THE ROWANS WEEEEEEE

The Kenrith twins cost $10 each because they're stamped but luckily the other ones we could find weren't more than a couple each. Couldn't find a Huddle Up foil which makes me a smidge sad.

Won't get to test this new build until Monday. Will Kenrith joins, complicating my 60-card deck. I tried to overcome my blue mana issues through some artifacts and unique land opportunities. I thought it'd be better over more blue basic lands as they're mana-fluid, giving me a ton more flexibility at any point like when I've cast my 5 blues and the basic heavily drops in value. Also they can help me summon Kenrith's Transformation when I get to 4 colour madness so it's future proofing.

... or something, idk I'm whack-o. :)

Thoughts? Insights? ... Flash me your Rowans?

Direct quote:

wildcardgamez:Bloomburrow and Duskmourn were both mentioned as Q3, and the next sets were for 2025, does this mean nothing from Q4 2024 was revealed? Maro: The slides oddly missed Q4, so the sets weren’t labeled accurately as to when they release. They do release (for now) in that order.

Looks our first post-phyrexian palette cleanser leans into magical and the fairy tale. Not sure how I feel about this endless sleep threat, but we'll see how it plays out.

Quite dissapointing for $100, isn't it?

Thoughts? Do you think these will allow some new decks to rise in viability?

I'm relatively new to magic and I've been enjoying all the various tribes/types/groups/themes you can build around. I like that you can build a cat deck or a dragon deck or a crab deck or an angel deck or a vehicle deck and all work with lots of options. What's your favourite theme and what are some of your favourite cards for that theme?

So where is the main mtg community? I don't see it on lemmy world

Honestly a little surprised that WoTC didn't intentionally delay printing this card for longer. I'm not sure everyone even has their full inventory yet.

So I'm getting back into it, or that should be I'm going to, and have some questions.

When I last played to any extent there was the stack, that seems gone. So where are the rules these days?

I note also my dci number is now meaningless, is there no ranking anymore?

I live in the middle of nowhere (Scotland) so wonder if there is anywhere I can check up local clubs?

Also any suggestions on where to find deck ideas and where should I start, core and which expansion's?

I'm wondering if anyone actually finds this format enjoyable. Seems like an RNG fest to me with very little interesting decisions :/

There's a more featureful Magic community (actually several) hosted on mtgzone.com. They have a card fetcher bot and everything. Go visit them!

Lately I’ve been getting back into magic after a 3-4 year hiatus and have been building edh decks but have been struggling to find cuts to slim down my decks to 100 cards. Currently I’m rebuilding one of my all time favorites the locus god. Got it down to 108 cards then sleeved them all up and gold fished until I cut it down to 100 removing the cards that felt lack luster that seemed to work well. What are y’all’s favorite ways to make final cuts or find new cards?

Just made a new EDH community on lemmy.world. Everyone's welcome to join!

I mean I have a hard time finding ppl to play with. It personally my favorite format to play with for commander

I'm looking to play casually (in person) with some friends and we were wondering what the cheapest format to start buying for would be? And what might be some good pick ups (we have the starter decks but want some more variety) thanks

Is anyone interested in making an EDH community on Lemmy?

I like Torgaar as my Mono Black Stuff deck and am looking to trim the fat a bit. The Burglar Rat effects are up for cutting but I'm not sure what direction to go in.

Painful Quandary seems cool for when I set something to 20 with Torgaar?

I finally did it. I went through the entire web fiction archive and turned it into EPUBs (except the NEO manga PDF).

330 "books", 2.24 GB

All stories have the proper metadata with title, author(s) and series (set/block/anthology) and include the proper cover image as shown on the MTG Story Archive here: https://magic.wizards.com/en/story

Link

This is the link to the Google Drive containing the files. The anthologies and chapters are separated by folder so you can choose your preferred reading experience.

It was A LOT of work but made much easier using a variety of software tools to automate the most important steps.

Future

I know Reddit is...in flux so I figured now is as good a time as any to release a dump like this. I hope it's something people want.

In the future I may write custom software that would let me scrape a database of links and do every step automatically but that would take longer than the one whole day it took me to do this.

Enjoy!

I created this to see if folks are interested in migrating from Reddit's /r/MagicTCG. I'll gladly turn over moderation to people more organized than myself.
