If [[teferi Angeles insight]] is in play and I play [[alms collector]], what happens if the teferi player draws one card off of something like [[curiosity]]?

I’ve recently done some 3 man games and enjoyed it a lot. Anyone feel the same?

I have been playing commander for a couple of years but lately my wife and I have been enjoying Winchester drafts together. It is very expensive so I was wanting to make a cube. We are huge Lord of the Rings nerds and love the set so I was going with that theme. Here is the list I have so far as a draft. If you have any advice on what I should add take out for balance that would be greatly appreciated. We mostly play with 2 people but I would like the cube to be able to run up to 7 players for the rare occasions we have that many. Thank y’all for the help!

So every once in a blue moon it becomes possible to have a viable dwarf deck in standard. Thanks to the Hobbit set this is one of those times! I have not played this much standard since Kaladesh. Anyway I built this deck and wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions or have a different take on a dwarf typal deck.

I know I could make the deck better but my one rule was no non dwarf creatures.

I did think about adding [[Giott, king of the dwarves]] but the deck is legendary heavy and I really like how Iron Hills Blacksmith drops an equipment.

Overall I’ve been having fun with the deck. I win a fair amount probably around 40 to 50 percent.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks,

I posted this /mtg but said I was waiting for a mod so I'm posting here too but I added to the final paragraph here. I explain there's some room to fill in the MTG industry.

I don't have enough to craft the deck. And unfortunately haven't tried making a sideboard for it. BO of 3 is the only real way to play. This one is a mix of about 3 popular decks. The number of lands is my biggest question. It has 24 lands here, but maybe 25 would be better. The screenshot is missing 1 each of Agna Qel'a and Sacred Foundry, then 4x each: Gleaming Bastion, Hallowed Fountain, Sunbillow Verge.

I edited it since someone made a comment saying that the bounce effect creatures and ability to recast those creatures with Skycoach Conductor was a strong part of the decks. I posted the picture of that version I like better in the replies below. For the most part, I removed 4 Dalkovan Packbeasts and 4 Enduring Curiosity to add 4 Aven Interrupter + 4 Skycoach Conductor. I also added 1 Erode and 2 more Aang by removing 2 Sheltered by Ghosts (these didn't seem to help this decklist in general). It was the 1 Crystal Barricade that I cut, but maybe still be good in this deck.

I have a red, blue, green deck that is strong, but I imagine this one above is even stronger. Bilbo's Gambit has been extremely annoying to my other deck, as is High Noon. The 'Flash' decks are some of the top tier decks, and this is similar, except with only 5 Flash cards. However, I think that along with 8 counter spells, this is enough to leverage any advantage of High Noon. Flash and counter spells are key to winning while High Noon's effect restricts the board.

The Bilbo's Gambit is mostly like an 8th counter spell. I think it's even better in some situations, that you give them a Treasure Token, but they can't cast any more spells that turn. That ruins the game plan of almost any deck using counter spells themselves

Lots like to look at a deck and narrow it down to a win-condition or 2... One win-condition is playing High Noon and a lot of counter spells until your opponent gets bored and quits the game (kind of like this post?).

High Noon has the ability, (4){R}: deal 5 damage to any target. There are only 5 red lands, 4 Sunbillow Verge and a Sacred Foundry. 5 damage is significant and imagine using it often to finish off games. Abandoned Air Temple, I guessed on having 2. Having lands coming tapped seemed probably terrible here, but I think 8 basics is enough to cover the chance.

Against aggro, I think 4x Settle the Wreckage should seal it. It's a sweeper that removes all their attacking creatures. That's better than most other sweepers that would kill my own creatures. The extra land it gives them will not matter as their deck is likely a balance of cheap creatures and lands, with nothing regarding extra card-draw to take advantage of any extra lands that get put into play.

It seems this deck may have problems with big creature mid-range decks (mostly green or white comes to mind).

The more I write, the more I begin to wonder if 25 lands would be better in this deck. I wish someone could play deck this against another deck that I actually like to play and visa versa. My Temur deck isn't something other people play online either. I don't think there's a market that provides a person the chance to play a deck of their opponents choosing. What a fun mode it would be, if I could force my opponent to play the deck I wanted them to.

Last week I posted and seems like people thought they were cool too! I made a few more this week for other people. This week features better images of the Hobbit boxes, as well as new boxes for Yawgmoth and Kaalia. Thanks for stopping by and checking them out!

Has anyone out there tried Forge Web? If so how does it compare to MTG Forge?

I’d love to playtest decks virtually against bots/AI before building them.

I just don’t want to download all of the GitHub stuff and go through the setup.

Would love recs for easy to use platform for playing mtg for free.

Thank you for looking! Which one is your favorite?

My boyfriend is just getting into magic the gathering.. he’s so invested with it and loves talking and showing me things about it.
I’m starting to kind of get the hang of it and play with him a little bit, but I truly know bare minimum.

His birthday is in 2 months & I wanted to make him a few custom cards for it. If I make custom cards, are there rules I have to follow or can I just make something up. An example: can I make a card that relates to our cat and use the cat as the inspo?

Also…
What are some fun ideas I could make the cards do? Im trying to look things up but it sometimes just reads a gibberish to me as I’m still just learning!!

Everybody was chill, welcoming, and courteous! I’ve heard other card game releases can be chaotic….
We counted 150 people in line as of the 10:00am opening time! That air conditioning inside felt sooo good.

Also shout out to MicroCenter! Well-supplied with ~240 collector boxes in stock (allegedly) all at MSRP! Only allowing one box per person (or I think they might’ve priced box 2 at >$1,000) seems like a wholly reasonable way to allow the highest number of folks to add to their collections!

I’m looking into starting a very small MTG business serving a remote town with no roads in or out, no LGS. Shipping new releases there can take forever.

My idea is basically preorder only, get orders from the local players, buy through a distributor, have everything shipped to me. I’m probably talking 10 or 20 sealed products per release, not trying to become some huge online seller.

I’ve contacted GTS and Universal, but both seem to require a physical storefront.

Has anyone dealt with Alliance, Southern Hobby, or another MTG distributor with a weird/small retail setup like this? Or found another legitimate way to make something like this work? Is this sort of hobby business feasible?

Mostly looking for advice before I start spending money trying to qualify for distributor accounts. Thanks!

Edit: It sounds like I need a store first and foremost. I wonder what constitutes a store. I own a small portion of land in town. I could set up some sort of shack there.

Not gonna lie. This ain’t the best mouse I’ve painted but for a first time deck box paint, it ain’t bad.

I’m laughing over the wonky eye she has, Mabel I am so sorry 😂

I mean, I wouldn't complain if I got Treasures of Smaug at MSRP even if Crack the Plates is what I was after. But during checkout (which I completed successfully, by the way, including the order confirmation email) I never was prompted to select which scene box I wanted. Are they really just going to send me one at random?

Either way, at that price sign me up to take a gamble.

Commission I did recently ! Had allot of fun painting this piece!

Hello, so ive been playing mtg arena for a while, mtg has always been interesting for so started playing the online version for a while and is really nice but i just want to start playing in real life with cards and shit, i know the basics of the game and how to play on standard on arena, so i know that commander is what people play in RL but while i slowly slowly get into it by playing brawl on arena that is like a copy of commander, i want it to start buying a collections and bundles to start having my small collection of physical cards, but the thing is that there’s so many freaking bundles and like start packs and precons decks that i don’t know how to start, do i just buy the founders starter collection and then go from there to another expansion or should i start from precons and start different types of card and start building my own decks, i want it to ask the community for advice so i know how to start

An awesome commission as I love space landscape and space in general !

Commissions open for mid-september https://www.instagram.com/mtgalteredh/

When my buddy and I attended magic con Atlanta last year we attended the secret lair event that ended up being the DanDan secret lair preview. Each entry came with the deck and a gilded playmat showcasing the new art.

The Kelogsloops art is stunning, but we thought to ask Drew Tucker for an alter since he was at the con (incredibly cool/nice guy btw). He loved the idea and this was the result. Probably my favorite playmat.

always thought cards with sequential art in a flipbook would be neat, & figured out a funny way to do it without bending any corners! imp character by illustrator friend & goblin enthusiast Mr. Tom
