Hello new followers, my name is Dan aka Mod, (he/they). I'm a cEDH, Legacy, and Vintage player primarily but I tweet a lot about cEDH, music, my cat Violet, and unfortunately about the occasional bozo misogynist.
Tell me something about yourself, friends new and old!
Went on a date this weekend and taught her how to play magic
She doesn't even know about the characters people are horny for yet, F's in the chat, she's cooked
I love that WoTC was like "We're going to make a One Ring, something more rare than any other card we've ever printed or will ever print! Someone will cherish this for the rest of their life!"
and Twitter's reaction: if I found that fucking ring I'd throw it in a fire
To celebrate closing in on 4k subs on YouTube and 1.5k followers here on Twitter I'm giving away this foil Boseiju!
All you have to do to enter is like and RT this post!
I'll announce a winner next Friday August 5th at 12pm ET
So 1 obvi very funny that "modern" horizons has commander precons
But 2 and most importantly: these are MH precons, these are going to be fucking CRACKED right? Are we finally going to see a fetch land in a precon?
In your opinion, what is the perfect magic card?
Not the best, maybe not even your favorite, just an example of a Magic card they got completely right, I'll start
Oh come on, are we really all going to pretend that we don't understand that an island mountain taps for blue and red?
We all suddenly have amnesia and don't remember what shock lands do?????
Y'all complain about anything
I'm so confused as to why Voja is the center of discussion for being... too powerful?
Have yall seen a magic card that was made in the last 3 yrs? Any of them at all? lol like I don't get why everyone is falling out over a 5 mana commander that requires a ton of board presence?
I think people would play more counter magic in casual EDH if they realized the point of casting them isn't to stop other people from having fun
The point is to counter spells that will keep you from winning the game
Important to note that Reprieve does NOT say counter a spell. That means this hits uncounterable spells like Supreme Verdict, something cast with Boseiju, etc
This is a card I've never seen another person besides myself cast in commander and I think commander players are missing out, Pest Infestation is such a house
Its the holiday season and thanks to my buds at

Winner announced next Friday December 9th at 12noon ET!
I loved that the conversation about poison counters turned from "we need to change commander rules" to "y'all mfers are dead" with just one blue, common boi
Me: oathbreaker is official, eh? How about Ashiok Dream Render and Doomsday for easy turn 1 Thoracle win?
Me: *sees banlist includes Doomsday, Dark Ritual, Lion's Eye Diamond*
Me: this format is garbage
I'm not a huge fan of how Horizons sets have changed eternal formats in general, but one thing Wizards did extremely well was Urza's Saga.
Amazing card, multi-format all-star, not oppressively powerful, just impressively powerful, I love this card so much
This is awesome, right? Like am I reading that ability correctly, this ETBs you put a counter on an 7/7 and you can reanimate an 8 cmc permanent from the yard?
That's wild, I love this
Cis men, I have made this tweet before and now I am making it a second time:
Every successful woman playing magic who is attractive didn't become successful because they're attractive
You see them because they're working their asses off.
1/6
okay, Wizards, you got me, this is I think the first time Im very convinced I'm changing all of the copies of this card in my decks to the Universes Beyond version, I love this
Have seen some p negative reactions to Sheldon saying he has no intention of banning the RL in EDH and subsequently all the convos about proxies
Reminder that Sheldon and the RC are not a government or police force. No one can stop you from writing "Mana Crypt" on a basic plains
Don't mind me, just thinking about some of the other cards people thought needed to be banned in edh
Some people really act like edh is going to collapse every 3-6 months while never acknowledging you can just say "I don't want to play against that" when you sit down for edh
My cEDH hot take is that playing a stax *deck* is no longer necessary in the current meta. Playing a singular stax creature will warp an entire game around
I think MTG Youtube channels would get fewer negative comments about using pronoun labels for people if they had trans and non-binary guests on their show more often
If you've never heard of 5color its one of the wildest formats ever
-minimum 300 card deck
-max 4 copies of a card besides basics
-has its own banlist, ante is integral part of the format
-minimum of 25 cards of each color
-proxies officially allowed
-sideboards not allowed
3/3
I'm not a fan of the current place Green has in the cEDH meta, and I'm not sure this would make it better, but I really wish there was a bonkers creature to Natural Order into
I want a Progenitus-level threat for cEDH
Hey y’all, extremely excited to announce that I’m officially an

I’m going to have a bunch of really exciting stuff coming up for y’all in the next few months SO KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED !

The best advice for someone trying to get better at magic is to play with and listen to people who are better at magic than you.
Ego about not wanting to appear dumb is the most common barrier I see between people and getting better at playing
I have had Beseech slotted into my decks for two weeks and still haven't drawn it, what's everyone's take on it? Pulling the weight or not good enough?
my favorite thing about creatures in cEDH is the invisible line of text that says "Cannot be countered" because apparently, Force of Will is the only good counterspell
My prediction for cEDH in 2023 is that a lot of people are gonna get their heads turned inside out when more eternal players start to enter the tournament scene and we're going to have some of our core beliefs about the meta challenged for the better
I love that people want to play Oracle of the Alpha in Historic Brawl
The idea that your opp would just randomly decide to shuffle 8 mediocre to bad cards into their deck for the chance at getting ancestral recall is fantastic
Playing games yesterday, a non-magic player saw our playmats and asked "is that like a little yoga mat for your cards?" and I've never heard such an apt comparison
So have c/EDH people been playing with any MKM cards? I've literally only played with Delney so far, but she's awesome
any hidden gems? I literally have no idea whats in the set
