Magic Card of the Day: Insidious Fungus
It grows. Corroding illicit devices. Dissolving ancient magics. Blossoming into knowledge and new paths forward. This fungus is a rattlesnake which can just be a growth spiral so you don’t waste any mana on your turn! Such a nice mushroom! #mtg

Magic Card of the Day: Charming Prince
He brings you a vision of the future, the power of food, and can reset your best thing to make it happen again! He really is an excellent boyfriend. What’s nice is when you have a way to protect a single creature from a board wipe. How noble! #mtg

Okay so #seattle I’m looking for the best vegetarian Mapo Tofu in the area that can be delivered. I used to get it from Regnant Bakery but it’s closed and I haven’t been able to find anything close to as good. Please assist. #Chinesefood #recommendations

Magic Card of the Day: Aether Channeler
Choice is an incredibly effective tool to take a sort of mid card into a silver bullet. 3 mana for any single one of these effects is a little high but one plays a bit higher. Bouncing almost anything gives tempo that can turn the Aether in your favor. #mtg

Magic Card of the Day: Body of Knowledge
This creature is a massive threat and a boon to cautious players who want to hold everything in their hand. As long as damage won’t kill it, this avatar will refill your had and be bigger than ever. Learn all. Be all. Punch with your brains. #mtg

Magic Card of the Day: Sewer Nemesis
From the original Commander set, often the best choice is to choose yourself. Every spell you cast builds your graveyard and in turn your horror grows. At this point your graveyard is often just a second hand so you might as well be your own hater. #mtg

Magic Card of the Day: Geist-Honored Monk
Sometimes cards are still good even if they don’t have the power of yesterday. Flickering this token generator can quickly make a wide and tall threat at the same time. A single flying 1/1 can close out a game if left untouched. Be honored and win! #mtg

Magic Card of the Day: Cultivator Colossus
Now this is a 7 drop! An immediate threat with a scaling power that can turn lands into cards and ramp you into the highest peak. Sure you can combo off but do you need to? Make your mana sources make your opponents green with envy! #mtg

Is he a nice man? No. But does he ultimate fast and make bodies? Absolutely. Dovin really represents the “value planeswalker” and in a flying deck, he can be a distraction or if ignored lets you refuel. Also who can say no to that title? #mtg

Will and Rowan were close once! So close they shared card frames! Being able to loot or make a big creature incredibly threatening is great flexibility and both build towards a stunner finisher. Turn your big brain hand into big brain damage! #mtg

Magic Card of the Day: Ob Nixilis, the Adversary
In my opinion the best planeswalkers in commander are ones that are a pain to remove, like the Adversary. Often he’s just annoying but quickly it gets out of hand. The real power is getting casualty over 7 so you can ultimate right away! #mtg

Magic Card of the Day: Basri Ket
On paper Basri makes sense as a token deck card, but he’s great for Voltron too! Give your commander a counter and then you can cleanly Wrath of God while your beater is totally unharmed. If you ultimate, you can go both wide and tall! Or a chump blocker! #mtg

Magic Card of the Day: Vivien, Champion of the Wilds
This card is a sneaky sleeper hit. Sneaky reach, sneaky card advantage, sneaky flash creatures. She does it all for a cool 3 mana. While she’s on the board, green plays like blue and even the stack isn’t safe from her volleys. #mtg

60 card all star, this elemental has an odd relationship with Commander. Still an effective attacker and brilliant blocker, it doesn’t represent the threat of lethal without multiple copies. However resilience is sometimes all you need in a a game of attrition. #mtg

This is such a bizarre reanimation spell. It’s basically a group hug piece to make an ally against their will but it’s hard to make effective. With so many good attack and enters triggers picking an effective target is a game onto itself. #mtg

Why reanimate when you can become? 5 is the going rate for reanimating and being able to do it in blue and bypass a lot of graveyard hate reanimating flood gates. An incredible looping partner, you will wonder why you haven’t doubled sooner! #mtg

In my mind the best symmetrical cards are ones that fundamentally change what Magic is. This enchantment makes cards the only resource that matters and makes colorless cards a lot less useful. Now the challenge is what do you cast vs what do you discard? #mtg
