Hi,
We're making an effort to put all the Secret Lair discussion in one place for today.

Does "?" break (includes-word)
title+body (includes-word): ["reback", "fake", "fakes", "proxy", "counterfeit", "counterfeits", "real", "authentic", "tampered", "reseal", "resealed"]
A post with the title:
>Fake?
and body:
>Hey guys, these cards look a completely different shade but come from a sealed play booster box. Any chance it’s fake?
was not caught by this rule. Is includes-word truly this dumb?

Codex Bundle: Discussions ✔️ - Showcases ❌
Hi,
Due to the unbelievable volume of people posting "I got my Codex Bundle, please look at it!" we decided to temporarily restrict them.
You are absolutely allowed to talk about the Codex Bundle.
We're only placing image posts with the Codex as the subject in the approval queue for manual checks. A human will see and review your post (eventually) even though it's likely to be removed.
We understand that there may be issues with the Bundle and talking about those issues is 100% allowed. We're just trying to keep the subreddit "scrollable" without having to look at a Codex Bundle image after another ad nauseam.
Sorry about this and thank you for understanding! Feel free to leave feedback as a comment!

[MOD] [META] Writing a Community Guide Together
Inspired by this post.
We're interested in writing a community guide to address the most common questions on this subreddit. There are three things required:
- Content
- Editors
- Long-term support
1. Content
In this post, please write text (preferably top-level comments) that you think addresses questions and issues commonly posted on the sub. Polished, finished and copy-pasteable well-written English, please. The Editors are meant to be able to Edit, not Write everything by themselves.
Ideas:
- What separates cEDH from Bracket 4.
- What kinds of ways to play cEDH exist.
- What it takes to brew a cEDH deck.
- Can I upgrade my XYZ commander into Bracket 5?
- ...
Please come up with your own ideas and don't be limited to these.
2. Editors
I will leave a top comment. Please reply to that comment if you want to contribute towards the guide. Note: we will review your activity and quality of contributions on the sub.
3. Long-term support
If you could see yourself maintaining this guide for the foreseeable future please let us know at the same time you volunteer to be an editor.
Our idea is to create a Reddit Wiki based guide that select contributors can edit. This document can then be updated and/or posted as a regular post.
Thank you for your time!

🎉Congratulations on 400k members! 🎉
Hi!
We reached the milestone of 400 000 members. This metric is not easily visible to the public anymore but it shows up in our moderation tools' Insights tab. This milestone was crossed on 7th of May 2026.
We reached 300 000 members roughly 10 months ago! Crazy!
You're awesome!
Now that we're here feel free to share your thoughts and feelings about the sub!

The flair is also misleading. There should be a "PRAW" or an "API" flair. This isn't really about Reddit Pro. It's "Meta" that's really about "PRAW" or "API". Thanks.
^(Btw, PRAW does sound like a crab or something. Sorry, I'm a bit tired of reporting the same bug again and again with no response and always having to come up with these BS titles for those posts because the Automations here require a keyword that's not relevant to PRAW or API.)

This time, on 08-05-2026, we got 4366 old submissions pushed through the submissions stream.
Here's the piece of code that is fetching me new submissions that are coming in.
submissions = reddit.subreddit("target").stream.submissions(
skip_existing=True,
pause_after=1)
for post in submissions:
if post is not None:
do_stuff()
else:
break
Didn't bother to check what the actual submissions are but they're supposedly coming from the r/magicthecirclejerking or r/edhcirclejerk subreddits.

When not using a loupe I take photos like this. It's just a standard deck box I place my phone on. Simple.
S-T-A-B-I-L-I-T-Y
Photo taken with Casio fx-85ES Natural Display Two-Way Power.
(i.e. OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite - a very cheap and a bit old phone with a very mediocre camera but you can still see the Rosette pattern pretty well. Newer and better models can take very high quality photos. You don't need a loupe at all. Turn RAW mode or pro mode on / disable auto-smoothing if possible.)
