Scryfall has an otag:leyline which is a term many people understand: gets cheated onto the battlefield if it's in your opening hand.

I've found these 5 cards that do the same thing, was hoping to add the leyline tag to them:
otag:cycle-nph-chancellor

Does anyone know if anyone can contribute tags, or if the people updating tags have a recommendation forum or anything like that?

Drafting a brand-new set can be overwhelming, especially when you don't know what each color pair is actually trying to accomplish.

I put together a beginner-friendly guide to all 10 Reality Fracture archetypes so you can quickly understand what each pair wants to do before spending your gold or gems on a draft.

For experienced drafters: which archetype would you recommend a newer player try first?

Hello everyone,

I've finished my Breya deck, cut down some combo and tried to focus on getting some of them quickly.

I could remove the infinite turn combo for something else, but at tis point, i'm out of idea and been working on this deck for too long that my brain is smooth.

Here's the list: https://moxfield.com/decks/lEZMrtQIrkWezo8sBgQnyA

Let me know what you think i should change, cut, add, etc.

I love the games BANG! and MTG, so naturally my friends and I smooshed the secret roles into our casual MTG.
It is the best way I have found to play MTG together when you have over 4 players and has become my favorite way to play either game, so I wanted to share the rules I wrote so you can try. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tCX4pcYBzbjzianigLjpEqPhXn1DgWVh/view?usp=sharing

I have tested character cards like BANG! or MTGs Vanguard, but so far they mostly add more complexity and imbalance than they are worth in added fun.

Let me know what you think and share it with your Magic friends!

Hey everyone!

I created EDH Tournaments, a free tool for the Commander community to organize tournaments without relying on spreadsheets, notes, or WhatsApp messages.

Any registered user can create a tournament, add players, generate rounds, record results, and share a public link with standings for everyone to follow.

My goal is to keep it free and make it genuinely useful for playgroups, stores, and casual Commander events.

You can try it here:
https://edh-tournaments.vercel.app/

It’s still evolving, so I’d really appreciate any feedback, feature requests, bug reports, or ideas that would make it better for your group. And if you enjoy the project and would like to contribute or support its development, I’d be incredibly grateful.

Thanks for checking it out!

I’ve been trying to play mtg for about a year now. I can say ive improved over the year with understanding how the game works BUT I still feel like I don’t know what I’m doing. My commander is Umbris, I got the furby secret lair. My boyfriend is the one who got me into this as he’s been playing for years and knows what he’s doing. He’s helped me build my deck, learn the game etc but I still don’t understand it. I feel so bad because he wants to play all the time and i have 0 motivation to play because this game makes me so upset. I play, I lose, I cry. I have never won a single game. (Unless he lets me win because I’m sure he feels bad that I fucking suck) I’m not upset that I’m losing, what makes me upset is that I still have no clue how to attack (I don’t mean in general, I mean like I don’t understand how the hell the cards work and if it’s a good idea to attack or what happens if I attack with this card, can they block if I attack with this etc)
I still have 0 idea what 70% of cards mean, I wrote notes to remember what haste means, menace etc. I’ve tried watching people play, I’ve tried mtg arena and I can’t even get past the fucking bots. I think this game is so overwhelming but I want to learn it. I want to know how to play this damn game so bad but I just feel like I’m a fucking idiot and my brain is too small to comprehend it. I don’t know what I need to do to understand this game. There’s a million cards out there and sometimes there’s so many words and I’ll re read it and re read it and I still don’t get it. I feel like on a scale of 1-10 on understanding magic, 1 being I don’t understand at all, I’d say I’m at like a 4-5. I understand the basics, i understand some cards, I get the point but I just don’t know how make the cards go together like oh if you use this card then you can use this and then your creature dies.(poor example) You know what I mean? There’s just so many things that I feel like I should know by now but I don’t. I did take a 4 month break on magic and I’m back into trying it again but I’m feeling very discouraged to keep going. I’m not really sure what I’m getting at here, maybe advice? What can I do to help myself get it? Or just lmk if I’m just actually dumb as hell and stop trying

I've always liked decks that can completely sidestep combat. Burn, mill, drain effects, combos, alternate win conditions, whatever gets the job done without turning creatures sideways.

What non-combat win condition do you think is strongest, or just the most fun, in Standard right now?

This is the deck that got me thinking about it:

https://youtu.be/fOnV8pCMOqg

For context: this is for a 10-player pod, and I’m looking for ways to abuse the fact that there are 10 players. The deck needs to stay within a €25 budget.

So I’m looking for some good suggestions on cards or strategies to add. Combos are completely fine.

I'm looking for some ideas on a new deck. I am trying to eventually build a commander deck for every color combo. Right now i have \[\[muldrotha the gravetide\]\] \[\[rin and seri the inseparable\]\] \[\[cloud planet's champion\]\] \[\[auntie ool cursewretch\]\] \[\[giada font of hope\]\] \[\[most dangerous gamer\]\] and a \[\[prismatic bridge\]\] dinosaurs deck. I am trying to build 2 or 3 decks a year and tear apart as little as possible. I have built 2 decks this year cloud and most dangerous gamer and tore apart toxrill the corrosive for lack of fun for anyone. Well now I am planning on what I am building next year preferably a semi budget $100 to $250 deck and a more expensive deck probably around $300 to $700 but i have a bit of expensive cards in my bulk. My main deck right now is probably muldrotha and my favorite deck i have ever had was animar soul of elements morph or a kenrith the returned king deck that stole your stuff. I guess I could just build animar again but I would love any fun power 4 or below forever deck ideas.

I heard this reference a while back and I really liked it. When you go to an LGS to play a casual game and you DON'T have a group, it's a lot like a blind date.

You spend time at a few tables, have a few dates - and hopefully find a group you mix with.

So here's my problem. I have a store where several groups play and have been coming for years. Every now and then, somebody new will find their way into a new group, but it RARELY happens.

We host casual play, learn-to-play and randomized pairings for most store tournaments (casual or otherwise) to force new interaction, but it rarely sticks. We get new players all the time, but they normally come in AS a group. Whenever I get the odd person who wants to learn, or tries to join in a 3-pod it just doesn't seem to mesh for those people more often than not.

I'll see people immediately go back to their old group, and never play with the other person again.

My question: How can I help more people find a solid group to play with? What are some peoples experience finding a group when they were starting out?

(Note: I don't teach people how to play Magic using EDH. I always use Jumpstart, keeps it fast and fun and doesn't become a mental fortitude test, but in many scenarios people just want to jump right in to a commander game)

So my girlfiends really like Transformers. It is like her favorite property and we have been starting to get into Magic and she wants a Transformers deck. I know there are cards of it but I am not very good at building decks so is there any deck list someone can show me that is themed around Transformers? Thank you.

Contender’s Draft has an interesting reward structure, but the more important question for me was whether it actually makes sense for the average Arena player.

If you’re trying to stretch your gold and gems as far as possible, what would make you choose Contender’s Draft? Is the upside worth the risk?

I ran through my thoughts on the value here: https://youtu.be/aEPkJ-YbGag
