Here’s a question: How many sources of green do you need in your 99 cards to make sure (100%) that you have at least one of them in your opening hand of 7? The answer: 94.

I’m Pretty Cynical About Adventure in Forgotten Realms (MtG)
For the roleplayers out there, who aren’t aware of this yet, Wizards of the Coast has now been trying to find synergy between their two main brands: Dungeons and Dragons (D&D), and Magic: the Gathering (MtG or just Magic). This has now resulted in a set of Magic cards to be released later this month. I’m not a big fan of this development.
EDH Deck Time – Grazilaxx
Note: I know that as of this writing the plugin that handles the card images is down, but I will try to fix when I have the time. Sorry about that.
Well, this is my kind of commander.
The FIRE Philosophy of MtG Design
Around two years ago, we were introduced to this concept. This means that it had probably been around at least a couple of years within the company. How has this panned out?
Note: I know the plugin which shows the cards is currently broken, but I’ll look into that when I can. Sorry about this.
My Leftist Take on Strixhaven as a Setting
I don’t actually know if I would be considered leftist by most, because my views don’t necessarily coincide with those of the stereotypical left leaning people. On the other hand, leftist thinking is also often misunderstood (also often on purpose), so maybe I am, maybe not, but here we go anyhow. Political compasses tend to place me in the lower left side somewhere between Pjotr Kropotkin and Emma Goldman. So, I guess I would be considered quite radical.
EDH Deck Time: Norse Giants
So, what I attempted to do here is to make a deck based on my understanding of the mythological Norse giants.
MtG Arena Report, or How the Environment Just Sucks
I thought I’d just play a few games between meetings and it didn’t quite work out as someone might hope.
EDH Deck Time: Blex
Two ways to go here: A weird pest tribal or a graveyard deck… or a combination of the two.
EDH Deck Time – Kianne / Imbraham
EDH Deck Time – Valentin / Lisette
These cards are kind of weird. They are clearly meant to work together, but obviously, you can’t have each side available to you at the same time, so you need figure out how use both sides. I’m not going to do that. Basically, I’m making a horde deck, which tries to grow the creatures though black’s ability to gain life consistently. It is also possible that Valentin is itself a nice plan in certain contexts, where graveyards are well used.
