Started playing like two months ago. Working on my first commander deck, Dragon tribal, with Miirym. But I must confess that seeing the current products prices, even when I just buying singles, is kinda discouraging.
Welcome to our big, weird Magic family; I’m glad you’re here! A *lot* of people have been unhappy with the price points for the upcoming Commander Masters release. I just want to reassure you that you absolutely do not have to buy any of that product to enjoy the game - especially Commander, which began as, and still primarily is, a casual-play format. I’m running out of space but I want to encourage you to not give up! Most of us don’t spend a ton (all at once) on the game.
I first started playing 25 years ago and now I am trying to come back and I am having a blast playing Commander in my LGS and with my friends. I see lots of precons in my future, do you think I can still get a good deal for the Strixhaven precons or did that train leave a long time ago?
Prices on eBay and tcgplayer look reasonable for the strixhaven commander decks.
I just got into Pauper and it’s hella cool! Can’t wait to organise Pauper events in my area (little to no sanctioned events)
[[Gingerbrute]] is a favorite cute card of mine. Looking forward to more silly food creatures. Edited: added another set of brackets.
Just going to blabber on about non-sense: I agree with other comments about disliking Wizard’s focus towards Commander. I’m more of a Cube/Limited player and many of these cards just aren’t conducive to my Cubing habits.
My favorite card is probably [[Painter’s Servant]]. Just look at that cute little guy. Also, despite my general dislike for combo, Legacy Painter is just so much fun.
Pet card: Serra Avatar. Showing my age a bit, I remember reading a spoiler for it IN A MAGAZINE. Scry I think. It blew my mind. Still a cool card, but not the powerhouse I envisioned.
Hadn’t played until recently but one of my friends got a bunch of lotr boosters and it got our friend group interested in it. Started playing a bunch of MTGA and now we’re now having a little draft tourney in a couple weeks.
Your Temple is Under Attack is an amazingly flexible card from BLD
By far my favorite card is [[Confusion in the Ranks]]. The first time I layed my eyes upon it I just loved the mechanics of this card, and immediately started brewing a modern deck with it. Not the most competitive deck, but so much fun. Also stars some other cards that I think are awesome designs like [[Norin the Wary]] and [[Grinning Ignus]].

This place is great, thanks for all the hard work out in to it!
In the 90s I used to play mtg as a kid and listen to the Mountains Goats on cassette, and now there’s a Mountain Goats secret lair. Full circle.
I’m hyped for the Doctor Who commander decks and need to find time to rewatch the series before release
It’s good to see a new MTG community for after Reddit did away with decent 3rd party mobile apps. While I almost never post, I do post links from threads on this community to my friends as a means of exposed to the new community and Lemmy.
Bond lands are the best lands.
