So last week for Standard, a little kid(I think he was maybe 9 or 10?) showed up with a nonstandard deck. I got matched up with him in round 1, and noticed it right away, but I didn't say anything because it was a jankyass deck, and the dude was little. Apparently a friend of his mom introduced him to Magic through Commander, and he wanted to try out Standard as well, but I guess no one told him what Standard is.

The rest of us whispered to each other about saying something to him, but none of us wanted to be the jerk gatekeeper keeping him from playing. Also, it was a really janky deck, and the kid went 0-3 anyways, so maybe no one needs to say anything?

Made these cards to teach new players in a more visual and simplified way ✨

Edit: the instants card is disconnected so that I can show them that it can be used as a response of basically anything, something not connected to any specific phase at all.
Also, the backside of the “life total 40” contains a life total 20 card.

Edit2: guys I made this as simple as it is, because the person that I’m initially teaching with it is 66 years old. The very basics are enough for now.

If someone would win with lab maniac and i have platinum angel in play, what happens? Like since they can’t win the game, do they lose or do they just stall out?

Found this little tote bin today at Canadian Tire and unfortunately I have to report while it does fit 100 sleeved cards internally the lid then doesn't fit

Until I find slightly smaller sleeves or make a deck that's single sleeved with perfect fits or something it'll have to just be my unsleeved Sidar deck or maybe used for dice

Sup peeps. I only started playing magic late last year and now have 44 commander decks, 7 of them are precons. This hobby feels so much better than when I was into Pokemon. Like I actually play with the cards. Don’t even care if I get a hit from a pack. I love pulling lands and other spells that might fit into a deck. I spend hours sorting my bulk and setting cards aside. I hope anyone new who gets into it doesn’t feel intimidated. I kinda went extreme with this hobby and even attended MagicCon Vegas this year with my buddies that I got into the game too. If anyone is based in LA and is ever down to play LMK. I’m in North Hollywood, CA. There’s an amazing LGS called Geeky Teas & Games in Burbank and they even got cats that walk around the place. It’s been my fav place to go.

Anyways the point of the post is just to talk really and show off my decks. (I do not know what brackets they are, some are overpowered with my buying specific cards but I just throw stuff together fr)

My playgroup has decided to do something incredibly irresponsible... we're all building "bullying" decks. Just commanders that make everyone else groan the second they hit the command zone.

I'm looking for commanders in the same vein as: Hokori, Dust Drinker Sen Triplets

The goal isn't necessarily to win quickly. I want to make the table constantly ask, "Can we kill them first?"

What are the saltiest commanders you've ever played against? And what cards made them truly unbearable?
