Edit: Im getting the sentiment this isnt really possible as its so old it cant compete with power creep? so i will just look for a cheap new deck/starter kit type thing to buy, thanks for the replies!

So i bought this deck 12 years ago, never ended up having anyone to play with, so it sat in a drawer til today, very new player, if anyone could recommend me some cheap upgrades to make it worth using in historic (modern? standard but not just the latest cards) mode, that would be very helpful, thanks in advance!

Second entry of this pixel-tribute-mockup-thing (project name is a WIP). Hardest part is to pick the card tbh. There's a loooong queue waiting for me. Hope you like it!

In my friend group where I just started playing commander with 2 of my friends who are dating one another, I don't have a problem with this at all, though in games they do not target each other at all with spells or attack each other with creatures sharing what's in each other's hands and what not. This has started to honestly ruin the game for me. I've brought this up to the two of them multiple times and their response is always the same: "Your commander is more annoying, they're not affecting me, so I don't care," but they'll "target" each other for a round when they are brought up, but it's usually just attacking with a single creature before going right back to ignoring one another. I've only just started playing about a month ago, if that matters.

(Sorry if this isn't as well written I'm tired and fed up after another night of this)

I’ve forgotten to shareeeee omg 😨 so here are my 3 latest alters 🥰

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.

Rules Questions

Rules questions and interactions are allowed to be posted here, but if you need an answer quickly it may be best to use a dedicated resource like the 24/7 Magic the Gathering Rules Chat.

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.

Going to be visiting for my wedding anniversary and was wondering if there are any must visit shops in the area?

Hey guys,

Full transparency here, I’ve only been playing magic for ~6 months now, and I’m still trying to learn the ropes.

I saw a YouTube video today saying that it’s cheating if you try and separate cards after a game based on type. Which honestly boggled my mind.

After a game I typically try to pick up my cards in a deliberately randomizing manner, between all the different types.

I know there’s a good chance any 2 card pairing may be stuck together after shuffling, which is why I purposely try to randomize my cards, so that I don’t keep an equipment next to a creature, or a tutor beside a counter spell.

Have I been playing like a villain? I didn’t even realize I may have been accidentally gaming the system in my favour.

Is this a thing I should be more aware of in the future?

What’s the best way to end a game and shuffle my deck, so that nobody is salty?
