Advice please!
I have a Commander deck in progress based on Yugioh, so I'd like to match the back of a Yugioh card. My comparison is ms.yugipedia.com//thumb/4/4a/...
I've been looking at @dragonshield.bsky.social sleeves and considering Amber or Orange Matte, or Copper Classic.
Any suggestions?

@gavinverhey.bsky.social Streaming now, chat came up asking about Expropriate not being GC anymore. IDK if you mentioned it in your article but one thing I realized is that extra-turn cards are less good if you get them too early. Cheating Expropriate isn't always better than hard casting. Opinion?

I'm watching an @mtggoldfish.com video and just realized how commonly in larger formats we start with ETBT lands. I remember Modern being a format that was always fetch-into-shocks, but surveil duals seem to have changed that. Even Triomes didn't do that. Maybe ETBT isn't as bad as people think?

@budgetcommander.bsky.social I'm watching the most recent Commander Clash (No Damage Week) and Crim just commented about nobody's playing red. Aftershock, Fissure, and Lava Flow feel unloved!
Also I wonder about the red Polymorph-style effects...

Those that know me know I like building weird decks for Magic. One of them is based on Yugioh (deckstats.net/deck-2370548... if you're interested). Found a YGO deck box that will legit hold it: www.yugioh-card.com/en/products/...
Put a Commander deck in it, sleeved with Dragon Shields, and it fits!

@budgetcommander.bsky.social Just finished a stream and found something:
In a previous Commander Clash you'd commented how Cabal Stronghold was a cheaper Cabal Coffers. As of tonight, these are the cheapest prices via Scryfall:
Cabal Stronghold (DOM): $11.21 €9.71
Cabal Coffers (MB2): $15.81 €17.39

Stream this week will be delayed until Wednesday due to work schedule changes involving both my LGS and my other job. Will also be trying to make it a shorter stream than usual. See you Wednesday at 6pm ET/11pm UTC (if my math is right)!

@krismeana.bsky.social Wanted to reply to your comment about Christmas music but couldn't - hope you don't mind this instead!
I'm 54, worked in retail most of my life. Had a shift at a gaming store the other day - still October - and Christmas music came on. UGH! At least wait until Nov 11 is over??

@magic.cardmarket.com Once you have eight Best Deck Ever series finished, would you ever consider pitting them against each other? I'd love to see something like Best Pauper Deck vs Best Modern Deck, for example.

@scryfall.com Looking to throw some math into power/toughness vs mana value comparisons. Is this possible? Example of what I'm looking for is (power>mv+2) or (toughness>2*mv). Is this doable and I just haven't come across how as of yet?

@gavinverhey.bsky.social Question for you, because I'm still not sure how to categorize a group of decks I have built:
I have nearly a dozen decks that are made of nothing but commons. I try to find the most suitable cards I can for what I need. Would you call this Bracket 1 or Bracket 2 to start?

@wotcmatt.bsky.social Hey Matt, was streaming tonight and I know I mentioned a while back about old cards with wording that I didn't think fit Oracle, came across one:
What do you think of El-Hajjâj's Oracle text vs its printed text? It doesn't feel to me like it should be triggered.

Today I went grocery shopping and had picked up more stuff than it appeared would fit between both the fridge AND the freezer. So I took about ten minutes and knocked a bunch of ice out of the freezer and suddenly I could put more food away!
