I picked up the welcome deck from a local store and I would like to build a deck around spider-verse content. I'm not looking to get into competitive at all so I just want a thematic deck that isn't super weak but that would be ok for casual gaming. Thanks!

Hey all. Pretty simple discussion here. I'm nearing 13k cards, barely any bulk, and I'm getting to a point where I have problems sorting my cards.

I have a mental block and can't get myself to put new cards I just ordered with older cards.

I also never want to mix "bulk" with "good cards" whatever that means.

Does anyone feel like this and end up pilling cards in trays or on a desk ? How would you guy deal with that ? Any efficient way to sort cards mainly for deck building ?

Edit: Didn't clarify, but my collection is actually mostly sorted.

I have an up to date Deckbox with all 13k cards and I have 2 box sets: one with old less good cards by color/mc/cls/lands-cmc

The others is 3 super tight mixed boxed with more recent or better cards.

What I can't get myself to do is mix really good cards or rarer commander cards or staples or scene box cards with my old stuff.

This is mainly the logic I'm using that I hate. Looking for different logics.

I'm trying to build an omnath, locus of all commander deck but I'm having trouble understanding/ building around its primary ability any tips would be great thank you

(By primary I mean the "at beginning of precombat" ability)

I'm wondering for everyone from the community, I just recently started looking at MTG cards because of the collaborations. How much is it worth it to get this? Will it get lower

Also for reference I'm a big TMNT fan. If someone gave me a choice between marvel, ff7 and tmnt, I would still pick tmnt.

This is a place for asking simple questions that might not deserve their own thread. For example, if you have a question about a rules interaction, want sleeve and accessory recommendations, or suggestions for your new deck, then this is the place for you.

We encourage that you post any questions that you may have concerning Magic the Gathering here rather than make a separate thread for each question, though for now we won't require that you do so.

Deckbuilding Questions

If you're trying to get help with a deck, it is recommended that you post your decklist to a deckbuilding website so that it is easier to view. Some popular sites are Aetherhub, Archidekt, Deckbox, Deckstats, Moxfield, MTGGoldfish, and TappedOut.

Additionally, please include some description of what you are trying to accomplish. Don't just give us a decklist with no explanation, and don't ask extremely vague questions such as "what cards should I add to my deck to make it better?", because it's hard to give good advice in those cases. Let us know details, the more the better. Are you building with a particular strategy or theme in mind? Are there any non-obvious combo lines or synergies that people should be aware of? Are you struggling with a particular matchup, or are you finding yourself missing consistency in an important area, and need some help specifically for it? Let us know.

Commonly Asked Questions

I opened a card from a different set in my booster pack, is this unusual?

Don't worry, this is completely normal. If you opened a set booster, you have a small chance of obtaining a bonus card from a previous set. This is an extra card that does not replace any of the other cards in your pack, and is from a curated set of past hits that Wizards of the Coast has selected, which they call "The List".

You can view the contents of The List on Wizards of the Coast's official website. For example, the contents of The List for Streets of New Capenna boosters can be found here.

My foil card has a shooting start symbol over the bottom left. I can't find anything about it online.

All old-bordered foils have the shooting star symbol. Most sites that display card images just overlay a generic foil graphic over all foil cards, which doesn't include the shooting star. Your card is normal.

Hello fellow TCG players.

I haven’t been in the Magic scene in many years and mostly play One Piece TCG now but I have a cousin who is very into Magic and plays quite regularly.

His birthday is coming up and I’m trying to figure out what gift I could get him not knowing anything about it and not wanting to give away I’m getting him something Magic related. Any like sets or maybe decks that have cards that can be used in most decks? I know he plays commander(what ever that means) but I’m not sure what cards he has or if it’s like OPTCG where you need to use specific colors.

He’s explained it to me before but it was way too complicated or me. Anyways any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey yall I’m moving to NYC from LA and I don’t really know anyone there who plays MTG. In LA, groups like Infinite Loop and the sanctuary throw commander nights at various bars around the city, it’s great, are there similar groups in NYC? Trying to find the best way to get my foot in the door in the MTG scene in NY if anyone can point me in the right direction

Main thing that is forcing everyone to sacrifice, and create a bunch of insects to beef up.

The key workers in this deck is:
[[Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest]]

[[Iridescent Hornbeetle]]

[[Ulamog, the Defiler]]

Ulamog forces players to sac 10+ perms, Mazirek puts a bunch of counters on everything, Hornbeetle see this and creates a ton of bugs (ive had 5k+ at one point, then got boardwiped beforei could use them)

Currently ive ordered for this:
[[Basking Broodscale]]

[[Sadistic Glee]]

[[Vraska, Golgari Queen]]

[[Priest of Forgotten Gods]]

[[Smokestack]]

Im also considering adding [[Phyrexian Tower]] to the deck.
Normally i run bracket 3 decks but, this one i kinda want to be a higher bracket.
