I don't know if this deck is good, but it's some of the most fun I've had playing Magic in a while:

For less than the cost of a Secret Lair you could have CASCACADE CASCADE ISSUE 2 which may or may not include some stuff that will make it feel a whole lot like a Secret Lair

It's Reality Fracture release day, but also IT'S MY BIRTHDAY! My one request is that, if you haven't already, pre-order Issue 2 of Cascade, Cascade! Getting to write for them was so lovely. It made me feel like I had found my home in the large chaotic sea of the Magic community.

Was looking at some cards in my cube to make a couple of swaps, and noticed a bent one hiding at the bottom of the box. RIP 2X2 Weathered Wayfarer, you will be missed.

I still think that casting a behold spell means you should have to yell "Behold!" like a wizard from an 80's cartoon.

Despite me naming myself after a white card, I'm really more of a jund player. My echoverse version is probably an Azorious hard control player

I had 6 pauper decks and 4 standard decks on me. We didn't have to play hurr durr target the new guy at the LGS who we'll loan a significantly weaker deck.

Why the fuck is an opponent flickering a solitude 4x and taking out my one creature in a borrowed Rakdos Lord of Riots budget deck. Where the hell is the threat assessment?

Once again justified in the belief that commander is the least good format for the health of magic

Every time I cube with my brother he goes for the combo list. Usually it's lab man. Last month it was Door to Nothingness. The funny thing is he usually goes 1-2 and pulls a few wins from the alt win cons.
