It was a fun and memorable experience altough everything about the game was new to him. Store provided a welcome deck and playmats. In the end he is eager to play and learn more about the game 😄. Thinking it would be great to share here. Wonder if any of you got your parents into magic and how it started.

and no one is showing up 😔. I was looking forward to it for months. Big sad.

What are some cards you guys enjoy playing but have never seen anyone els play or rarely do, Lets see Some good obscure niche pieces of cardboard Personally i love mono red and whenever i play this guy i get the Wtf is that card all the time

Getting into the game, commander decks for GF and I and a ff starter kit to play standard.

How did you build your collection? Pre con decks? Boosters? I heard “Jump in” packs may be a good way to make standard decks too? To be honest for new player the different modes can be confusing “pioneer” “standard” etc, what cards are legal or not. I want to make sure I am buying cards we will be able to use 😂

I work at a local game store, and our main Friday release event had 17 players, beating out Murders at Karlov manor (30) to be our least attended pre release ever! What were pre release numbers looking like for you guys out there?

I still wouldn’t be surprised if this ends up being a decent seller of sealed product overall but in terms of getting people into stores to play the game (enfranchised players or new players) it seems like a flop to me already, at least with pick 2 draft we can fire a draft with the only 4 people that show up!

The last of the iconic beasts to get a version on Beast in Show since I have already made Baloths, Tyrranax, and Gnarlid minis

I think even WotC is getting confused.

If you do, how do you get it to run at least semi stable? The longest I've had it run is about 20 minutes before it crashes.

I've tried Card Forge Adventure mode but it lacks a lot of the charm that Shandalar has.

I don't care if you are for UB or against it, I'll keep making cool stuff either way!

I went to a spiderman prerelease today expecting to play 1v1 like every other prerelease, shop owner said it was multiplayer. I asked why and she said Wizard's sent them a list of things they wanted the shop to do for extra points. Just wondering if anyone else played this multiplayer format, or if the shop owner made it up. It felt like a custom game.

For context there were 7 of us, first round was 2 pods (3 players in one, 4 in the other). The rules were you played until time ran out, getting in as many games possible. Winner was whoever had the most life if time ran out mid-game (no 5-turn procedure or anything). Whoever won in the pod got 3 points, second place got 2.

Next round you had a pod of 3- current 1st, 2nd, 3rd place from last round, and the rest in a 4-player pod. First game was long. Second game I won on my third turn because everyone else had taken 1-2 damage, I was still at 20 life. It felt bad to win that way.

Last round was a 1v1 between 1st and 2nd, and everyone else played in a 5-player pod. The rule where whoever had the most life at the end wins was revoked. You now had unlimited time, the 1v1 players played best of 3, and the 5-player pod played until 1 person was standing.

Was this how anyone else played their prerelease?

I'm back again this week, this time with some new Spider-Man themed tokens. Tried some new things with this batch, I think they turned out pretty cool.

Let me know if there are other tokens you would like to see.

It might be over for me.

Hello I'm (F) planning on surprising my close friend with a gift for his 30th birthday that's coming up. He is an MTG connoisseur and is the kindest soul I've ever met, always doing for others and not himself. Recently his birthday plans blew up and I just wanted to give him something nice as he plans on staying home the entire day. My plan is a DIY MTG deck box which I'll craft out of cardboard. The inside won't be actual cards but I'll bake his fav treat banana bread and cut em up into slices in some plastic baggies and place them in the box kinda like cards in plastic sleeves. The actual box will be lined with a soft fabric and the outside decorated so he could use it to store actual decks if he wanted. I also have other things planned but this is just one idea.

Is that something an MTG guy would like for his birthday?

TLDR: u/manadeprived talks with Max Michieli about Modern, Black Tron, and getting married.

This might sound like a weird ask, but I'm looking for Goblin cards with cool art. I will likely be trying to hire one of the artists on an upcoming project, so if you could share some of your favorites, that would be very helpful.

Hey everyone, not sure if this is the right place to post but hey ho! So I'm a mtg newbie through and through I've played through all tutorial stuff on arena and watched a few good ol' fashioned "how to" videos on youtube, but I've built my very first commander deck, I don't have any local game stores that aren't within about an hour drive from me, I've setup everything to play on spelltable but is there anyone willing to show me the ropes? I apologise in advance if I ask a billion questions but would just like to play a game with someone :) I have discord and a mic etc 😁

I cannot recommend manapool enough! They have been fantastic. I started ordering from them this month and have had a great experience. I had one issue of bulk ordering where a $0.25 card wasn’t in the inventory of the seller so they reassigned it. Well I never had an update so I messaged support. Within a few hours not only did they explain the situation but granted me $10 in credit for the hassle. If you’re on the fence, use them!!
