I long for the day white gets a real hatebear again and not “when your opponent does a thing you’d rather they not do, give them a stern look but let them continue on their way unimpeded”
🏆 Back-to-back stream trophies, this time with Quintorius! The Mind Stone was a big upgrade, easily the best mana rock in the deck. Fogwell's Gym was also a card I literally didn't even know existed until someone in discord pointed it out but I think it slots into Quint perfectly.
🏆 5-0 with Cloud on tonight's stream, featuring Hatut Zeraze Strike Force, a card that I think is flying under the radar as one of the strongest new Marvel cards for Duel Commander.
Okay someone please tell me why Hit-Monkey is seemingly nonexistent on the MTGO marketplace. I know it exists, I played against one last week. Please just let me play the monke
LIVE with new Marvel cards in Duel Commander! First up tonight is Doctor Doom, Unrivaled, followed by Nakia, Wakandan Operative! www.twitch.tv/xjcloud
Back in the baking lab: made strawberry rhubarb oatmeal cookies. First time baking with rhubarb, did not disappoint
I would sacrifice the soul of my firstborn for this card, just saying
What’s the funniest creature that’s worthy to wield Mjolnir? Strong contender to start:
7-2 for t16 of the Legacy Showcase with maindeck flutes in BW D&T. Started out a strong 6-0 but wheels fell off a touch too much toward the end. Satisfied with the finish nonetheless. UW Energy ✅✅ UB Tempo ✅✅ UB Tempo ✅✅ UB Control ✅✅ UR Delver ✅✅ Tron ✅❌✅ SnS ✅❌❌ UR Delver ❌❌ BR Reanimator ❌✅✅
🏆 Decided to run a legacy league. Officially not washed. TY for Oops ban WotC, D&T is great and legacy is saved. List copy pasted from @akaleth.bsky.social. Thinking about if there's better gy hate to play in the sb with the Oops ban. Ghost Vacuum has been on my mind for a bit.
Do you ever wonder if your wife has a completely different persona in a friend group you know nothing about?
🏆 with Quintorius Control, deck has been feeling great since release but I haven't managed to grab a trophy until tonight. A lot of sweet stuff going on with this deck, looking forward to tweaking it more and bringing it to CoolStuffCon in a few weeks!
Okay setting aside the mana cost and ring tempting, which of these would you rather be casting?
