I would like to see this community grow and be nice to each other. MTG has a certain eleiteism that made it difficult to comment on reddit.
This place is great, thanks for all the hard work out in to it!
In the 90s I used to play mtg as a kid and listen to the Mountains Goats on cassette, and now there’s a Mountain Goats secret lair. Full circle.
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.
A tale of playing Magic: I don’t play very much Commander. I either end up the archenemy or I end up entirely outclassed, and I really don’t care for those extremes. Last week I played with a group that had a really great balance. I played a couple of really fun games that made me think that maybe I can have fun in Commander again, haha!
Well you just need to play tax and Stax. The other players won’t have any fun at all, so all the fun will be yours 😊
Also when anybody does anything against you, you need to REEEE and make a tantrum, scream loudly and smash the table. Then you will be a true Commander player.
I just got into Pauper and it’s hella cool! Can’t wait to organise Pauper events in my area (little to no sanctioned events)
Going through the 10 cent bin at a local comic book store to make decks with friends to play that day when you’re a poor high schooler… miss those days.
Draft is hard!
[[bruna, light of alabaster]] is the best angel
- Unable to retrieve information for “bruna, light if the alabaster”
[[card name]] to call
[[bruna, light of alabaster]]
Used to play when I was a kid and rediscovered it recently with commander. My brothers and I have been liking building up our decks with old cards that still hold value today.
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.
Wow, honestly it’s lovely to see so much engagement with mtgzone! The one thing I’d like to share is that o absolutely love Bard class and want it to be viable in pioneer. Do it, WotC, you cowards!
Clearly mtgzone needs to rebrand as ɱ
Wish I got to design the LotR commander decks. I would have made one of them The Company of Thorin, dwarf tribal. Each of the 13 dwarves in the company would get a legend that buffed dwarves you control somehow (Kili would give them all reach, Fili would give them all double strike etc)
Aw man now I really want this 😞 What a great idea for a commander precon
I would have made it not woke and silver bordered.
What does woke mean
MTG has been a fun hobby I initially never thought I’d get into. My first tine playing was tabletop edh borrowing a friend’s Lord Windgrace precon. Now a few years later (and a hiatus or two) I’ve started competing in edh tournaments, participating in and running drafts, and making my own decks. It’s a fun game that I’m glad to see gaining traction (although I do wish WOTC would slow down a little).
It’s good to see a new MTG community for after Reddit did away with decent 3rd party mobile apps. While I almost never post, I do post links from threads on this community to my friends as a means of exposed to the new community and Lemmy.
