Yeah, it's definitely affected things over here. Schools shutting down, etc. Now, where I work, the academic side of the campus is only a portion of our operations. We still have plenty of people using hazardous chemicals, so I've been keeping busy.
You know what creature is good with lots of lands in your graveyard?
Knight of the Reliquary has been a Loam staple, one that defines some archetypes, since Shards of Alara. It has two abilities and both of them synergize with the Life from the Loam engine. A three-drop that requires white and...
This is getting out of hand. Ignoring the nonsense with the "Conspiracy" card type (WotC started listing them as officially banned after they came out with the card type, but the cards are non-functional anyway and I can't think of a good reason to ban them), the Legacy Banned List is now...

Brawl: Golos, Tireless Pilgrim is banned.
Legacy: Underworld Breach is banned.
Modern: Once Upon a Time is banned.
Also some stuff about the Arena Historic format, which I can't be bothered to...
UUD, done.
Spidey: 7
Hand: 3
Library: 22
Battlefield:
(T,U) Swamp x2

Sultai Ascendancy (At the beginning of my upkeep, look at the top 2 cards of my library. Put any number of them into my graveyard and the rest back on top of my library in any order)
(S)...
Untap, upkeep, reveal Taurean Mauler and put it on the battlefield, draw, Forest, Rampant Growth grabbing another Forest, roll the planar die, blank, attack Spidey with Flamekin Harbinger, blocks/responses?
Yet again, I became distracted and failed to have a new deck ready for the West Coast Commander League before today. Worse yet, I was up late last night (long D&D session) and slept in. I thought it was still fine, but then after breakfast I realized that I'd neglected to factor in Daylight...
I broke my own rule and built my West Cost Commander League deck the morning of the event again. Shame on me. My excuse this time is a combination of "I was working on a Canadian Highlander deck the day before" and "I didn't know what the monthly points for March would be until the day before."...
This was an experimental Canadian Highlander concept, but I'm shelving it for now. Bad timing took this up to 12 points just two days after I built it. Also, it was way too slow and would need a lot of work to be remotely viable. Oh well.
Internally, I kind of debated whether to even post this...
So here's a card that I've been having fun with lately in Loam decks, one that used to be a Loam mainstay but fell out of popularity over the years...
This guy gets big quickly, which is the main appeal. Sure, it's just a vanilla creature in combat, but it's not hard for this to be a 7/7 or...
Jekaena takes Throg's statement seriously.
"Oh, high elves is just what most people usually call them. They're also known as the Asur. I think they're called 'high' because their Phoenix Kings once ruled almost the whole world and their homeland, Ulthuan, was the high seat of their empire. Here...
Jekaena: "I don't know anything about these people! I was just surprised to see a high elf, since there aren't supposed to be any of them in Athel Loren. Also, she looked incredibly old, even for a high elf. I couldn't suggest trusting either of them. I did notice that she was scared of this...
I usually stall and blather on about history or something esoteric, saving EDH stuff for later on in these threads. There's a lot more to say about Life from the Loam, but I'll break from my usual trend (because it was silly anyway). EDH stuff is fresh in my memory now, and I tried a new Loam...
