New (9mo old post) format, eh?

Reno St.John, Rogue Radio Host @renothevast.bsky.social · 5h

I try to ask about things that people clearly love.

They generally have the best answers. Thanks for the quick response!

Got a deck list somewhere? I just built Codie from someone else’s list because I just think Astral Slide is neat.

Spin-Cycle (duplicated from Jacobra_Commander) - Commander (Codie, Vociferous Codex)

A deck created using Moxfield.

Might be up late shaping my spells…

Yeah I pitched the idea a few weeks back. 60 Card Singleton, 30 life and you have a Signature Spell (Instant or Sorcery) that you can cast once per round by paying its cost and discarding a card.

In essence You Are a spellshaper.

There is more in my pinned post if you want to see the inner working

Reno St.John, Rogue Radio Host @renothevast.bsky.social · 5h

I’m down. Gonna keep it in mind as I sort out my stacks and rows for something awesome to make the signature spell. Tri-color charms seem like a good starting point, but I do generally start into a new format with a monochromatic deck.

I wanna do this, but players versus a Horde deck competing for the most tokens binned.

I’d put it against my Massachusetts cube, but it’s only one unreleased secret lair big rn 😂

New format, eh?

Spellshapers are a lot of people’s secret or forgotten favorite creature type!

PTCG cubes can get very shiny.

Yes! I wish I could have stayed for the end of the game. How did it go?

It is fun, or uh… will be fun when I finish any of the cubes I’ve started.

Alara was a fun plane to figure out by draft. Lorwyn was good, Timespiral was incredible.

I’d like that kind of time spent in a setting again, and it’s why cube is life.

I feel this as a Pendragon and cube builder. I believe that making a cube out of each the UB’s that interest you is the best way to enjoy them.

It’s powerful common. No buffs, it wrecks several powerful Excalibur options that #PendragonMTG decks are built around!

We could all use more community and compassion. I paraphrase wise words from several sources:

You have to show your community how to act. Bringing people together to ensure our mutual happiness and success is why we are here. To be excellent to each other is to love each other deeply.

I love you.

Reno St.John, Rogue Radio Host @renothevast.bsky.social · 16h

I’m starting to find small ways to participate in bigger things than myself. If your self-help is helping people, let’s work together somehow. I can point you to some accounts here, a couple discords, or you can tag me into the help you are doing!

If it’s getting into a game of some kind, HMU!

Reno St.John, Rogue Radio Host @renothevast.bsky.social · 16h

You can talk to me about these issues. My Wednesday Innersleeves gets into heavy topics more often than I thought it would.

I try to not leave dms or emails hanging. I see you having a hard time, but sometimes I don’t. Know that I’m manifesting better vibes and more positive interactions your way.

Reno St.John, Rogue Radio Host @renothevast.bsky.social · 16h

I want you to know something this morning:

I love you.

“That’s it. That’s the post.”- No.

🧵

I try to keep up here, in a growing number of Discord servers, irl, with what everyone is doing.

But Im most concerned with how you are feeling & healing from our daily challenges & overworked routines.

Reno St.John, Rogue Radio Host @renothevast.bsky.social · 1d

Sounds fun, 12pm EST is a decent time for me, but I’d have 2hrs max, due to a pod commitment.

I’ll certainly check the stream if I can’t play.

Reno St.John, Rogue Radio Host @renothevast.bsky.social · 1d

All tcg’s use similar skills, so I’d love to hear about another. The MTG players’ perspective is a good accessibility choice.

Reno St.John, Rogue Radio Host @renothevast.bsky.social · 1d

I’m taking Kolodin for this, and will likely lose to a better Boros babe.

If you know people that would like in, I think the sign-up is open through the weekend.

Unsummoned Skull, the #Pokedeck Master @unsummonedskull.bsky.social · 4d

Reminder that I'm still looking for folks with Boros decks and/or a desire to Bash Breast Cancer in an #edh fundraiser this month!

Unsummoned Skull, the #Pokedeck Master @unsummonedskull.bsky.social · 5d

Still taking interest in this!

IKEA could never… I’m in awe of the condition and price.

I don’t want this account for politics, even with as bad and necessary it’s becoming to communicate.

I guess I’ll be making another account for these kinds of posts, but the infection of politics & bad faith was the reason I got off the twit app.

❤️ you all.
