MTG In Quarantine

This episode of the "What I Like About" series looks at 60-card constructed decks with no organized format in mind - just playing with 60 random cards that you threw together and call a "deck".  It's how I started playing Magic, and still influences how I build my Commander/EDH decks to this day.

Today's Fun Size Spotlight focuses on Spellgorger Weird, a 2/2 common from War of the Spark! I like this card in any deck that runs red as a color because it can build up slowly into a huge threat just by playing other spells!

This is an episode where I diverge from my usual content to discuss how negativity and hypocrisy in the MtG community is toxic and must be addressed for this great game to endure and appeal to everyone.  These thoughts are unfiltered and unedited.

Today's Fun Size Spotlight focuses on Rising Populace, a white common from War of the Spark.  It's an underrated card in Aristocrats-style decks that include white since it grows larger every time a creature you control dies.

Today's Fun Size Spotlight highlights the blue sorcery card, Prosperity.  It's a card that I used in my first real Commander deck (with a Sultai Mill/Wheels theme) because of its flexibility to not only draw me cards, but also force my opponents to draw cards as well.

The first episode of Fun Size Spotlight focuses on one of my favorite cards of all-time, Lazotep Reaver! A staple of my earliest MtG decks from when I began playing the game, the Reaver has always had a special place in my decks running black.  The Spotlight covers its inclusion in my decks as well as why a 1/2 for 2 mana that gives two bodies is worth it.

The first episode of the Triple Threat Deck Challenge follows me as I build a Selesnya (Green and White) EDH/Commander deck with Asmira, Holy Avenger as my Commander.  The deck seeks to use strong and cheap enchantments with good Enter the Battlefield effects to maximize value, and has ways to recur those cards back from the graveyard. We also want to build a large token army that we can either use to attack our opponents or to sacrifice to make our Commander stronger.  

I used the following three cards for the concept of this deck: 

Silverglade Pathfinder (Creature) 

Cleansing Meditation (Sorcery) 

Ashnod's Altar (artifact)  

I also outline some of the other cards that I would include in this deck. However, the complete 99-card decklist is not available because I encourage listeners to build their own version of the deck as they see fit.  I am just providing a basic template for some of the cool things that can be done with this deck concept and this Commander.

Episode One of the "What I Like About" series, I delve into the reasons why I really enjoy playing with or against Chaos Cards, specifically Scrambleverse and Warp World. Often viewed with disdain because they disrupt board states, I make the argument that they should be given a chance in Commander as the enjoyable and variable cards they were designed to be.  

The "What I Like About" series highlights cards, strategies, and other topics about Magic the Gathering that I particularly enjoy.  Since MtG is a diverse game with a wide variety of opinions on every topic, I like to highlight my favorite parts of the game and why I enjoy them so much.

Hi there! Welcome to the MTG In Quarantine podcast - I'm your host, MJ. I wanted to use this introduction episode to explain a little bit about my background with MTG and what I hope to accomplish with this podcast and this channel. With a lot of negatives within the game currently dividing the MTG player base, I figured that it was necessary to take a step back from these issues and look at things that I personally enjoy about the game. Positive vibes lead to happier players and a better game.
