watched this one finally

only just saw this card and I really love it??

i love that you can play it in pdh and i think it's actually pretty decent in terms of being edh viable?

- rachel mcadams was *so* good in this
- definitely funny at times, some great jokes imo
- the actual plot was ridiculously predictable?? like i was waiting for a twist but it was just exactly what you thought it was gonna be
- didnt know just how many famous lines were from this!

found this video from back when i was playing elite dangerous in 2016 emptying out my google drive!

i think this would've been during distant worlds??

looking back, this game really does look so pretty!

this one is neat, i think!

recurring auras with valuable ETBs, opponents returning pacifism-style effects, toolkit auras (stuff like sheltered by ghost/cartouche of strength when you need it), plays like return vanishing -> phase out -> wrath, reattach/flicker auras to get around the role rule

"the ends of a dream", another really short one, just 10 chapters!
very moving and really sad

kinda wanted to see more of them in their old age, the first chapter was *so* strong, but the reverse-chronological story worked really well imo!

okay i literally went 7 wins again the next draft by just stubbornly forcing boros...........
November 9, 2025 at 3:20 PM
saw a post today that said you should literally just always force boros in the arena powered cube, so i did and got my first 7-win in the cube lol

(deck was really sweet too!)

"donuts under a crescent moon"!

i really loved this one! this is like, exactly the right length (20 chapters) for this kind of story!

fuuka was really fun as a romance "antagonist" and i actually really liked the vibes subaru brought to the story!

guild wars 2!!

not a new game, but one i haven't played since 2017 (really since 2016) but i was feeling like playing an mmo, so i started again on a new character!

already 115h in now, got ascended gear, the event legendary gauntlets, doing fractals, just having a good time! :)

struggling to figure out a way to make this fair, but I really love the idea of having to keep playing instants to keep your creature alive!

also really like that this plays differently in both commander (since there's way more turns), 60-card, and limited (less likely to have the instants)
October 27, 2025 at 10:07 PM
also, holyy that's so much sugar lmao

i was skimming nawal nasrallah's translation of this tenth century arab cook book and it really feels like the authors getting sick of writing down yet another stew recipe for pleurisy lol
October 25, 2025 at 9:39 PM
one more, since i have this one lying around:

it's basically an overpriced planar incision, but with a ton of added utility! this is definitely more goofy than some of the other stuff in this thread, but i do think its neat!
October 23, 2025 at 7:28 PM
speaking of 1U counterspells (which is a category of spells i really like to begin with!) here's another one, part of a cycle of "make something a commander" cards!

love playing with mechanics like this is & I think this potentially making something a commander in a non-commander format is so fun!
October 23, 2025 at 7:24 PM
this one is kind of a counterspell version of decimate in that it's a really powerful effect, but the amount of required targets makes it only situationally useful!

i think this one would allow for a lot of neat play patterns (like casting another instant just so you have a target)
October 23, 2025 at 7:24 PM
yknow what, i kinda wanna do this, so here's a thread of custom mtg card designs that i thought of! ✨

might add to this now and then!

starting with two lands, one of which i made a while ago for a "cards in exile matter" theme, and one to explore "outlaw"-style batching terms!
October 23, 2025 at 7:24 PM
alright, fine

here's my compromise
October 23, 2025 at 5:43 PM
apparently they have non-english versions of vanilla creatures on "the list", which is really neat!
