    Anyone up for Commander?

    I had been hoping for a fourth player, then I forgot about this. Well, I remembered! I'll build a deck today...

    Tribal Update Report Double Feature: Core Set 2021 & Jumpstart

    New Tribal synergies to look out for Alpine Houndmaster: It doesn’t find just any dogs. They have to be those specific ones. But that does pack a lot of value in a two-drop, and Dog Tribal could use all the help it can get. Animal Sanctuary: This one is just a no-brainer. Blessed Sanctuary: I...

    Tribal Update Report Double Feature: Core Set 2021 & Jumpstart

    New additions to existing Tribes Advisor: One new card. I don’t see it being great in Advisor Tribal in general, but for the specific subset of Advisor Tribal that is the Persistent Petitioners deck, this is a boon. And that might just be the best version of Advisor Tribal anyway. Archer: One...

    Tribal Update Report Double Feature: Core Set 2021 & Jumpstart

    Well, a new core set is coming out. And there’s also a supplemental set called “Jumpstart” that has its own thing going on. Both of them were supposed to have been released already, but technically, at the time I’m writing this, their release date hasn’t arrived just yet. Also, I have cards...

    WotC now banning "racist" cards

    Although major singles sellers, tournament organizers, and most other organizations are decisively following WotC's lead on this, the broad consensus among people who aren't actually in charge of anything seems to be that most of these cards are either not racist at all or that calling them...

    Anyone up for Commander?

    It looks like all of the games I'm in here are on hiatus until Spiderman gets back. Mooseman and I were talking about potentially playing just regular old Commander, something I don't think we've actually done on the Games Run board in quite a while. Just wanted to see if we can get enough...

    WotC now banning "racist" cards

    They totally can ban cards for any reason. I think it's a bad idea to ban cards for this reason, even Invoke Prejudice. Some have suggested that considering the whole awkwardness with the artist, they should have left Invoke Prejudiced fully viewable in Gatherer, but made a note along the lines...

    Ever Eat a Pine Tree [EDH]

    Got some EDH games in last night with a few friends. Mostly, I was piloting this deck in its latest form. It accounted for itself quite well, winning most of the games I played. I'm happy with the deck Best moment was probably when I topdecked Eternal Witness after my opponents killed my...

    WotC now banning "racist" cards

    This was all sparked by Invoke Prejudice, a card that is old and obscure enough a lot of people aren't familiar with it. So before I say anything about the other cards they banned, I'd better go over this one. Oh, and as a preamble, while most people are just going to flat-out dismiss Invoke...

    WotC now banning "racist" cards

    So I wasn't going to delve into the context behind what led up to this, but it occurs to me in retrospect that not doing so was a mistake. The CPA is one of those places where most of us could easily have missed the events leading up to this. So... Last week, a bunch of corporations did this...

    WotC now banning "racist" cards

    Well, I don't know where to start on this one. I've discussed it elsewhere and seen a lot more discussion of it elsewhere, with a lot of different takes. So far, it looks like there will be more "sweeps" with more cards banned. And with one exception that I know of, organizers for non-sanctioned...

    12th Edition: Mooseman vs SealTeamBill

    Yes, let's do something. I think all of the CPA games I'd been in are kinda on hiatus until Spiderman comes back (I was tempted to try to move Warhammer Quest along without him, but no one else said anything and I thought it might be best to just wait at least a while longer). So I've got...

    12th Edition: Mooseman vs SealTeamBill

    Sorry, I should have been clearer. Although I think WotC is at least partially to blame for this. What I meant was that you seemed to be doing the core sets in order, but that it also looks like you skipped one. You finished up your Tenth Edition on June 5th, and that was the core set released...

    12th Edition: Mooseman vs SealTeamBill

    The 12 core set is actually M11, not M12. Not that it really matters, since you both obviously know which set you're using here. But did you guys skip M10, then?

    June 7, 2020 Commander rules change

    CR #7 is exactly what is being changed. The new rule will be the little quoted excerpt I included in the first post of this thread. If a commander is in a graveyard or in exile since the last time state-based actions were checked, its owner may put it into the command zone. Players who didn't...

    June 7, 2020 Commander rules change

    According to their explanation, it was simply that someone in the Commander Advisory Group tried to use Elenda, the Dusk Rose in the intuitive way, only to learn that if the card was put back into the command zone with Commander Rule #7, it wouldn't trigger. Players all over the world had been...
