Shoebox
SCG CON
Since I'm in Tacoma, I also wanna note any lesser-scale events around Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma, and/or Portland.

@ludosgd.bsky.social Most of my cards are in English, so I wanted to thank you for being my Pocket friend, so that I can Wonder Pick Italian cards from you, like this Greninja EX 😊

Peeps in one of my Discord servers were having a discussion after I shared my post there.
Quenchable Fire was brought up.
Love this card as a barometer for whether we're on the same page for the spirit of color identity.
Design intent: monored in Limited/Standard
EDH spirit: multicolored identity

Even though many others on social media space have the same position as I do regarding the following topic & have already shared their thoughts; it might help to increase the volume. Even by a tiny bit.

Hybrid Mana: Design Intent & Tools Shouldn’t Matter to Commander
TL;DR: How the EDH rules in November 2025 treat hybrid mana is the same as other formats and should NOT be changed for the sake of honoring…

If you search Scryfall for which cards that aren't basic lands have 99 printings, you'll get Command Tower.
And for which cards have 100+ printings?
A sole ring to rule them all.

In honor of Trick's tenure at Wizards, enjoy the first couple minutes of this Walking the Planes episode that, for some reason, pops up in my brain every once in a blue moon, complete with the underscoring sound accompanying it:

Toy Story 5's kids' tablet having a frog aesthetic feels like it's referencing the LeapPad series by LeapFrog. 😮

Are there any high-profile MTG tourney decklists that uses a multicolor MDFC exclusively for just one side of the MDFC (they can't cast the other side, but one side is appealing enough)?
Same question for split cards. Any split cards included where only one of the sides can be cast by the deck?

Boseiju, Who Endures is interesting for budgets.
If you own Boseiju, you spend $0.
If you're building a $100 deck, Boseiju accounts for ~$30.
But if your limitation for a new EDH deck is spend only $100 on top of what you own (& don't mind swapping around staples):
Boseiju is a great investment.

Just finished playing through Grim Fandango for the first time. Awesome game! Loved the writing and voice acting.
That was the 15th and final game streamed for Halloween season this year. Here's the full list!

Toph is an earthbending master.
So, a rebuke from her is a master's rebuke.
Luckily, we have a card named Master's Rebuke.
But Master's Rebuke mentions "planeswalker"! Awkward.
What do? We'll make a new card copying the old, change the name's adjective, & remove planeswalker bit in the rules text.

While looking through cards in the past few years to update my Silvos EDH deck, it endeared me to see that Tifa Lockhart as a commander gives the same vibes, just trading trading in regeneration and static stats for a cheaper mana value and conditional/dynamic stats.

My 1st experience w/ Comet:
- Mystery Booster 2 Sealed
- In game 3
- We "went to turns" on my opponent's turn 2 ("turn 1" is my turn 3)
- On my opponent's turn 4 (their last turn for the game), they cast Comet
- They proceed to roll enough sixes to then do over 20 damage to me, one-shotting me!

Drivin' in for my second day at CommandFest Tacoma!
Doing a second Mystery Booster 2 event seems the most fun to me of the remaining scheduled events, so I'll hit that up again today. ✌️
Then, if time, I'll try for an on-demand Final Fantasy draft. ⚔️🐤

I didn't realize the Laughing Dragon Experience this weekend (CommandFest Tacoma) was going to be a primo way at the moment to get your hands on some Riftbound cards 🤔
I was so tunnel-visioned on "hey, opportunity to do 1st MTG convention in 5+ years" that I missed out on trying Riftbound Sealed 😅

- Mystery Booster 2 Sealed
- Said sup to @powrdragn.bsky.social ; I can't remember if we ever talked IRL. 🤔
- Took a lap around the convention centerm

I skimped on details and thought this was a Mystery Booster 2 draft when signing up at CommandFest Tacoma. 😅 It's Sealed!
But that's all right, since all Mystery Booster 2 events are Sealed at this event ✌🏻
