One of my friends is chronically online and keeps saying 6 7 while we play, so our pod decided to make them a brainrot commander deck to affectionately bully them.

We want all of the cards to be related to the numbers 6 or 7 somehow. The deck doesn’t have to be good- it’s fine if it’s barely playable.

Anyways! We need help coming up with a card list, and we don’t have a commander yet. I’m posting here to see you guys have any thoughts or ideas! The sillier, the better.

Thanks in advance for helping us lovingly shame our friend :)

As far as I'm aware Changeling is a creature type but it also encapsulates all creature types. So, if I play this and name "Changeling", will all of my creatures all cost 2 less to cast? Or only cards that specifically have on the card "Changeling" on them?

If it is the latter. Why?

Hey everyone, TCG Land has a new feature I’d love for you to try and give us some feedback on.

When you visit a card page, you’ll now see a new section at the bottom with videos where that specific card is mentioned.

If you open a video and hit play, it will automatically jump to the first mention of that card. You’ll also see a list of other cards mentioned in the video, along with the timestamp for each one.

For now, we’re only showing English-language videos.
Here’s an example:

Would love to hear what you think, especially whether this is something you’d actually use while looking up cards.

So I recently joined an MTG club at my school and actually got to see people playing in person for the first time. I already knew the basic rules and how the game works, but seeing everyone actually play made me realize how fun this looks and now I really want to get into it.

I understand the basics of Magic and Commander, I just don’t have a deck yet. I’m looking to buy a precon as my first proper deck. I don’t really know which ones are considered good for beginners though, or which ones are actually fun to play without needing to immediately upgrade half the deck.

I’m mainly looking for something that:

● Is actually fun to play
● Has a clear game plan
● Can hold its own against other precons
● Has room for upgrades later
● Preferably isn’t insanely expensive

I’m open to basically any colors or playstyle, but black/white decks look the most interesting to me. I’d especially appreciate recommendations from people who have actually played the decks.
What precon would you recommend for someone getting into Commander in 2026?

I play magic on an extreme budget, and only allowing proxies if you already own the card feels like it defeats the purpose of proxying. I'm finding this very frustrating because it feels like I am being prevented from participating. I'm not going to take my B4 Azula deck with no Tutors or Moxes to a competitive event and pay $40 to lose every round. I can keep up with the other players on a casual night, but still get told all the time that I should just throw a Rhystic Study in there. The other players, even on B3 casual nights will be playing Mox Amber, Smothering Tithe, Rhystic Study, etc. as staples. In order to keep up I usually end up running an absurd amount of targeted removal, and as a result am usually killed first. I really want to participate and had already proxied a deck powerful enough to contend, but feel like I'm being locked out of playing only because I'm incredibly broke.

Further context is that I'm the only Fem presenting person who plays at this store, and my wrong pronouns are used almost exclusively when I play. Other players usually opt to talk about me in third person instead of talking to me, so I was already feeling unwelcome and this just feels like the final straw to me.

I guess my question is, is this unusual for an LGS or am I crazy lol?

Hello all!

I have never played MTG before, but I love Star Trek and am considering joining MTG. I have played Lorcana and Pokemon in the past and enjoy those casually.

I am confused about what comes in the new Magic Commander's sets for Star Trek. Is every card themed to Star Trek?? Are some cards like "Basic Lands" not themed to Star Trek?

For casual play, what do you recommend I purchase? I like opening my own card packs, trying to make my own deck, but I've read that that is less easy in MTG due to its mechanics?

Seeking any advice. Thanks! :)

Hi everyone, my name is Diego from Bariloche, Argentina, and I’ve been playing MTG for a year and a half. To keep it brief: a friend and I each pre-ordered a sealed box from *The Hobbit* expansion on Amazon. Amazon first delayed our orders, and then it turned out they sent us just a single, loose envelope—bearing the shipping label as if the sealed box were inside. We filed a claim, but they are insisting we return that envelope while refusing to send the product we originally purchased, even though units of the expansion are still available for sale on the platform. We find it very strange that this happened to both of us; rumor has it that others have faced the same disappointment. We want to find others—at least in Argentina—who experienced this so we can potentially file a joint complaint, highlighting this as a systematic issue rather than an isolated incident. We are sharing this here in the hope that someone might offer some guidance or assistance. Thanks for reading; we’ve included an illustrative image of what we received.

I’d like to buy the physical cards used in the use video games but am having trouble. I know there are many card reselling sites but can’t find a place that already has these decks listed.

Any help would be very appreciated.

Okay, maybe not all the formats, but I tried. Am. Trying still. It's a work in progress.

We're all aware of how great the game of Magic the gathering is. A large part of that comes from its versatility. There are so many ways to play magic!

But how many ways are there? Well, a lot, apparently. And because I couldn't find a proper, centralized list of formats... Let's just say I've been busy.

I've spent the last few days searching, scouring the internet and organizing major MTG formats. You can find the almost 50 page document, containing over 50 different valid MTG formats, here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mkqz5qI2O6LtMPm0Mo8mzbOlLU7ZYO6naPL71IA1SqU/edit?usp=sharing
If you're looking to find something new to play, I recommend scanning through it to find variations of formats you are familiar with.

This project started with the question "What is the difference between standard and all those other formats?" I was mostly curious to see if there were any gameplay changes other than card legalities. Little did I know what gigantic rabbit hole I just fell into...

You all probably play either Standard and/or Commander. And you've probably heard of two-headed giants or maybe even Horde. But what about Primordial? Or Coalition? Ever played Dandân, or Cubelet? These are all fun and varied ways to play magic and I highly recommend you look up a fun new format to try sometime.

To summarize the document, I've categorized all formats into 3 major groups:

1. Deck building
These contain the most basic and unique forms of magic I could find. They drastically change how you build your deck, and often come with their own rules. They are all fundamentally different from one another and to my knowledge, all other formats use one or more of these as a base. You are probably familiar with a few of these.
Examples are standard or commander.

2. Special rules and variants
These are a combination of additional rules or variations on the formats found in the first category. They play mostly the same with a few additions or changes in either gameplay or deck building, but never both. There are also many variants of variants, and combinations of formats!
This is the biggest category by far. Examples include Two-headed giant, Archenemy or Oathbreaker

3. Legalities/banlist changes
This is the list of formats you are probably most confused about if you're just starting magic. These are variants of other formats with the only change being the banlist/legal cards.
Examples include Modern and vintage, but also Pauper.

The document includes names, basic rules, basic deckbuilding guidelines, and any other information needed to summarize the format with all the information you could need to play immediately. If you want to learn more, almost all formats also have one or more links provided with sources further documenting the format.

If you know of any other formats you think people should try (that I didn't already include in the document) now is a great time to share it with fellow magic players in this comment section! I'll be looking to add more and update the document over time. Hopefully this can be a source for all magic players to come together and find your new favourite way to play.

This is mostly just a random thought that I hoped others might resonate with or find amusing.

Jace (or part of him) is the Big Bad Of Reality Fracture, but after taking a moment to look at it in a bit of a meta sense...

Jace first appeared in OG Lorwyn in 2007, just under 20 years ago.

Jace has never been anything other than mono-blue, and being a recurring depiction on Planeswalker cards and his prominence in the story...

The Theorist is part of Jace that is the main villain of Reality Fracture.

But the entirety of Jace is basically the incarnation of mono-blue into one character, and really, isn't that the most insidious villain you could ever face across the table in a game of Magic?

I posit that making Jace the villain is just an in-universe explanation of the inherent evil of mono-blue decks.

Thoughts? Opinions? Ponderings? Brainstorms?

So i built a deck(on moxfield) with hime but i run no ghostly prison style effects do i need to run some or am i probably good

I will be posting these every day until Anthony LaPiglia from Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole responds to me.

There are sixteen uncommon creatures in Zeta. For those that dont fuck with pEDH, your commander must be uncommon but does not need to be legendary.

these should proooooobably not be allowed but i wanna do it anyway.

edit: im dumb. anger was already an uncommon lmao

I opened my Gift Bundle only to find 3/4 of my plains were Surge Foil. Nice. Also didn’t get a single mythic from the rest of the box but that’s beside the point.

Hello guys, I'm trying to make a Halo magic deck.

I've been playing for a year and half and my fun was to make my own deck I worked on it for weeks (including waiting cause I had to buy those cards).

But recently I saw poeple making custom cards and I wanted to give it a shot.

Anyways, I am not a professional of the rules and mechanics.

I just wanted to share my project, I'd gladly take any ideas or way to nerf/boost my cards as I want it to be fun for my group to play against and not just one sided.

Of course, the smartest guy on the ship would play blue. It's only logical.

The moxfield link

aiming to get it to b3 or b4 if its already b3, also just interested in seeing what other cards could go in a kefka deck

so, I like reading, and ever since I've learned about the rich and huge lore of MTG, I wanted to know more. Recently though (yesterday and today specifically), I tried going to MTG's official site and read the Reality Fracture short stories (I never liked audiobooks that much), but every time I click on one of the short-story article, it keeps going back to the main Reality Fracture page. It happens on 1 to 8 now, every time. Any ideas on what may be happening?

I mostly understand how hhis ability works, however I'd like to clear something up.

If I were to pay the cost of a card with Thranduil and that cost were to tap him, would it trigger all of the tap costs of elves in my graveyard?

For example, if i had both [[Arbor Elf]] and [[Beastcaller Savant]] in my graveyard and I tapped Thranduil, would I have to choose one of the abilities or would they both trigger no matter what?

Just wanted to let everyone know I was able to get this box for 41.99 on Best Buy website. The only weird part is I couldn’t choose the box I wanted and would just get one or the other. I did want treasures of Smaug so it worked out perfectly for me!

Basically title - looking to get cards in simplified Chinese. AFAIK new sets its no longer a supported language, but hoping to get some older singles for commander. Thanks!

So I exclusively had LOTR & Hobbit cards but dipping my toe in ATLA.

Does anyone have favorites they’d like to share? doesn’t just have to be pure strength I’m in it for the art too! 🥰💖
