My playgroup is variable because we have a pretty large pool of players, around 14-15
that are always at our LGS and a dozen or so more that show up inconsistently.
So, I always maintain 3 commander decks.
A casual level deck, usually themed. Currently it's tribal Merfolk. Kumena, Tyrant of Orazca
An intermediate deck, with plenty of staples and a few powerful cards, but no combos or instant wincons. Currently Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis
And finally, a deck that's as competitive as I can make it. Lots of utility, lots of power cards. Currently heavy control Azor, the Lawbringer
I try to play whatever fits with the general power-level of the playgroup. Sometimes we even discuss which commanders we will be using beforehand.
I think speculating on card price fluctuations as if you're playing the stock market is, in general, unwise.
An "investment" is something that appreciates value slowly over time, but is almost guaranteed to do so.
Buying up a commodity hoping for a near term "quick flip" is not an investment, it's gambling.
Too high a risk for too little reward, at least for me.
It's my understanding that a player must be able to describe their board state to their opponent.
Things like storm count, triggers on the stack, or even just the number of creatures on their board.
I also understand that players straight up lose the game for causing an infinite loop.
So my question is: If a player had a number of creatures so large that it could only be represented as a mathematical equation, would that be enough to qualify as an accurate representation of board state?
Assuming nothing impedes the triggers, things get out of hand after turn four.
T4: 2059 Doubling Seasons
T5: 6.619 x 10 ^ 619 Doubling Seasons (620 decimal digits long)
T6: 10 ^ 10 ^ 10 ^ 2.79 Doubling Seasons
T7: 10 ^ 10 ^ 10 ^ 10 ^ 2.79 Doubling Seasons
T8: 10 ^ 10 ^ 10 ^ 10 ^ 10 ^ 2.79 Doubling Seasons
So, if a Judge asked the player to explain their board state on turn 5, and they verbally told them the mathematical representation, would that be ruled okay or would the player receive a penalty or loss?
I mean, there are a lot, but worldspine wurm is pretty good here. When it's killed, you still have 15 trample power on the board and your opponents have 3 more creatures to deal with. Plus, since it shuffles back into your library, you will be able to keep "cheating it out" with similar spells.
I'll be willing to give more suggestions, but I'd like to at least know what colors you're running first. Is it just red?
I'm sort of an oddball collector, in that I collect sets of cards based entirely on artwork themes. For example I've collected cards that depict: Planets, Clocks, and Books, to name a few. So I was wondering, does an index exist that can used to search for artwork tags? Something like pinterest but exclusively for MTG?
Anyways, assuming that there is not; I would like to make this a thread where we can ask for certain artworks and get answers/suggestions from the community.
Literally this.

My friends and I stumbled across a (fairly well known?) hypothetical situation regarding;

doubling season

My new interest is in cards depicting Stained Glass, or anything very similar to that effect. (I'm NOT including the recent stained glass planeswalkers!)
Here is what I have so far:
Icon of Ancestry
Glaze Fiend
Hunter's Insight
Enter the Infinite
Gift of orzhova
Please help me discover cards with similar artworks, and of course, use this thread to ask the community if you're also looking for certain artworks.
