My pod keeps bulling me out, I’m looking for help to make a stronger deck that’s enjoyable to play!

23F been playing magic for about a year now and I have a pretty consistent pod. The only issue is that my decks constantly get out paced by others at the table and I don’t know magic well enough to find a commander and build it properly that I’d enjoy. So if there’s anyone that could shed some light for me that would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much❤️

Bracket 2 Commander Suggestions?

Hiya! I've been getting into Commander a lot this year and have built up some fun decks already - Mabel, Heir to Cragflame, Giada, Font of Hope, Nahiri Voltron, Marina Vendrell Enchantress and most recently Aerid Konstrari...but a lot of those builds ended up being Bracket 3+ soooo I'm definitely curious for any suggestions on fun Commanders for some Bracket 2 decks!

My favorite colors are white, green and black, but I'm open to anything!

How many board wipes is too much?

Ive been playing a lot of bracket 2-3 with my friends, and I've noticed that our number of board wipes have started to climb up. We play a lot of decks that build big boards with big creatures (atla palani, ureni, etc), and I totally understand it. However, our games have started to get really long, and are complete slogs by the end. So just as a talking point with my friends, whats the perfect amount of board wipes for a deck? I would usually lean in the 2-3 range, even though I rarely play board wipes.

New format at our store

hi,

I recently started playing in the Reality Fracture league at my local store and had a really good time with it yesterday. I really like the idea of gradually building up your card pool and increasing the power level over time, without it feeling as oppressive as Standard can sometimes be.

Just for some context, the league works like this:

  • Games are best of 1 (1v1)
  • Minimum deck size is 30 cards
  • Everyone gets one free mulligan
  • When you join, you buy 4 Reality Fracture boosters
  • You get a Reality Fracture Deck Checklist from the store where you register all the cards you pull, you hand the checklist back to the store when you're done playing
  • You can earn the option to buy 2 additional boosters per week if you participate in playing
  • Any cards from new boosters have to be added to your registered card pool on the checklist

So basically, I'm looking for some input on what you would do with the pool I currently have. The gruul deck I use is fine but it gets a little stale after some games. 

Here’s my current card pool:

I'm still getting a feel for the format, so I'd really appreciate any advice or different ideas for how to build a fun deck. :)

Thanks in advance

My pod kept forgetting who won what and wanted to have some insights about our games, so I made a free, open source life tracker that saves every game

Our playgroup had the usual problem. We’d play a great game, and a week later someone asks “wait, who won last time?”, "what is the most winning deck", "who is the best player in the pod?" and nobody knows. I tried a spreadsheet for a while and I was the only one who ever filled it in.

So I made an app where the game itself is the data entry. You track life and commander damage on one phone or tablet in the middle of the table (infect and 2 to 6 players work too), and when it ends the match gets saved with the decks, the commanders and how it ended: last one standing, combo, concession, an alt win card, or a draw.

After a few weeks you get rankings for players, decks and commanders, plus some silly group awards like fastest win and best comeback. Decks import from Moxfield or Archidekt with a link, or added without a link just selecting commander.

It’s called 21Life. Honest status: only my pod of 10 has used it so far, about 200 games. It needs an internet connection, there’s a web version and an Android build, and no iOS yet. The code is MIT on GitHub if you want to look: GITHUB LINK. App: DOWNLOAD LATEST RELEASE

What I’d actually like to know: do your pods track on one device in the middle of the table, or does everyone use their own phone? And what’s the one thing trackers like this always get wrong for you?

Would be really glad if you choose to try my app, i'm just looking for people to share it with.

Thank you all!

Looking for discords to play commander online

Hi, do you know of any discords (english- or germanspeaking) where people play commander rounds via tabletop simulator, crucibile cards or other tools?

edit: I found the Black Lotus Collective, looks quite active https://discord.com/invite/NxwdH3q

ETX High School TCG Club (WISD)

Hey everyone!

I’m excited to share that I’ve gotten approval from my school administration to start a TCG Club for my students! Our main game will be Magic: The Gathering, but we’re open to donations of any TCG that students can enjoy.

I’m currently working on building up our collection so the students have plenty of cards to learn, build decks, and play with. If you have cards sitting around that you don’t use anymore and would like to donate, we’d be incredibly grateful!

I’m really excited to see where this goes and hopefully introduce a new generation of students to the hobby!
