With Modern decks wanting to close out the game between T2 - T4 and Standard decks wanting to close out T4 - T6, is it healthy for Pauper to close out T3 - T5? Have we crept too far or is this good for the format?

It seems a lot of the “fun” decks have been pushed out of the meta almost entirely for lists that are more grindy and ready to close out games earlier. Rakdos Madness has been pushed for Mono-R Madness, Kuldotha pushed for Rally, Dredge being removed almost entirely, have we entered a new state of the format where brewing is only reserved for new set releases? I’m curious to know what others feel about the state of the format especially after the Zeta legality announcements.

I’m currently working on a Jund Twobert due to the fact my playgroup has fallen through and I only play 1v1 formats now. I’ve never built a Twobert let alone a functioning 360 cube. I’ve made it this far and would like to know how many or each color I should aim for? How many golds vs colorless vs lands etc. There’s less room for fluff when cutting down to this size and could appreciate some help!

Current list linked above! Thank you!

As the title asks, what can I use to display a map on the TV so my beginner players can see the enemies and their own characters move spaces?

Would it just be easier to use a physical map instead of a digital one?

Hello! I have a question about the fans in my case. Firstly, I’d like to change the RGB and I’m not sure how to do that. Secondly, one of my fans is slightly skewed and I’m not sure how to safely fix it. This is my first PC and I use it for work so I can really risk anything breaking. Thank you!

Model: C SERIES
MFG Date: 061526

Edit: Video of skewed fan including in comments.

As the title asks, how do you build a cube that drafts with anywhere between 3-8 drafters? Does anything need to change? How do we make the cube feel well thought out with lower drafter counts?

Hello! I come from Magic: The Gathering and would like to expand into other TCGs. These are some decklist I enjoy playing in MTG and was curious what decklist you think would be right for a first time player with my preferences in MTG.

Esper Goryo’s:
Format - Modern
Archetype - Combo
Goal - Put large creatures in the graveyard to be reanimated with Goryo’s Vengance to gain large value and big damage swings in 1 turn. This list can also slow down and play a more control style gameplan with a couple good removal pieces.

Jund Wildfire:
Format - Pauper
Archetype - Midrange (Aggro/Control depending on the matchup)
Goal - Target our indestructible lands to “ramp” out more mana to cast larger spells faster than our opponents. This list can speed up to become aggro or slow down to cast lots of removal and become a control deck.

Hello! This is my first desktop purchase and would like to hear from others if this is worth the money? I’m using it mostly for work and MTGO which seems to be considered “light gaming”. Would I also be able to play games like BG3 or Minecraft without it overheating or sounding like an airport? Thank you very much to anyone who took the time to read and comment!

Hello! My Windows converter on Apple has currently been outdated and I’m due for an upgrade anyway. I’m currently looking at the “Alienware - 15.3" 2K Gaming Laptop - AMD Ryzen 200 Series R7 260 2026 - 32GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 8GB - 1TB Storage - Black” how overkill is this or can I easily convince my wife it’s just an upgraded “work computer”? I know very little about computers but would like something that would have a decent lifespan, play MTGO as smooth as it can, and also be a work horse. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read, comment, and advise!

Edit: Here’s a link to the laptop if anyone would rather look it at that way. Laptop

As the title asks, does Twobert cube ever get stale? Specifically one with a Wedge/Shard color restriction? Jund is my favorite shard by far and I know I would never get bored of drafting goyfs and Lilis but how often should I expect to draft something like this with my normal commander play group before they get tired of seeing the same cards?

Hello! I’m looking at running Phandelver and Below for some newer and some seasoned players and would like to make my first miniature collection purchase. I’ve found a couple lists that say a couple different numbers for how many miniatures you would need. Does anyone have a list for the updated Phandelver and Below so I can cross reference before purchasing a set? Alternatively, has anyone purchased the set from MoonStarBoardGames? If so, how did you like it and were any pieces missing from the story?

Hello! What are your favorite land cycles to run in non-powered cubes? I’m already running Fetches, Shocks, Surveils, and Pain lands but would like a 5th land cycle for all colors. Man lands seem to be popular in cube but aren’t fetchable. I’d like to stay away from OG Duals which had my considering Verges or Fast lands. Which of these three (is any) would make a great 5th cycle?

TLDR: Which lands should I test for 5th cycle? Manlands, Verges, or Fast lands.

Hello! After getting some feedback on the last post about finishing my cube, we’re about at the halfway mark and I still can’t find a good archetype for Simic based on the cards I have in my bulk/collection. Any suggestions would be great. I have a Nadu but I feel that pushes Simic towards “Simic Value” midrange without a true identity.

As the title states, I can never finish a cube. I can start building one with cards I own but I’ll get the first 60 cards in and set it down and quit. I already own 5 set cubes so this would be my first custom cube. I’d really enjoy my own cube I can change arts and cards in and out of but I can’t ever find the motivation to finish one. Does anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions on how to actually finish the cube? TIA!

As the title asks, AITA for running Geydrone Dihada w/ DeCon in the zone + tutor packages, counter magic, and rocks? I understand there’s no brackets in Oathbreaker like regular Commander so am I going too hard and should consider dialing back or is this what you expect to play against at a LGS?

List includes: Snapcaster, Vally Floodcaller, Bowmaster, Ledger Shredder, Wishclaw, Flusterstorm, Lab Man, etc.

Hello! I’m looking at writing a one shot for my PC’s (Party of 2) to play as Pirates. I’d like to maintain a 40+ member crew that works invisibly. How can I incorporate a “pirate crew” to help my players out on the adventure? I’d like the Crew to function as a swarm the PC’s can control. I’d also like to make it modifiable depending on how many crew members are left. Can anyone assist me in the right material to learn so I can make more later in my tenure? TIA to anyone who took the time to read my post!

Hello, I’m currently working on trying to cut back on smoking as I’ve continued to cough up grey - black tar for the last couple of months. I’ve recently run dry and I’ve been having a hard time trying to find a purpose with my time. I play MTG and am able to play multiple times a week (thankfully) but that only helps for the time out of the house. At home is my biggest enemy. I have most the motivation to play my PlayStation, to log onto MTGO, or even just sit down to get some work done. Does anyone have any advice for trying to calm my mind in the late afternoon - night? TIA to anyone who comments!

Hello, I’m writing a module about a coven of green hags and would like to use them as the final fight to the campaign. What level would you suggest my party of 2 be to take on this coven? I understand Hags are stronger as a coven but once 1 is gone the fight changes completely. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
