Heya! I'm Archie, a monkey fur in the macro/micro community! I write, I develop games (sometimes), and I love making new friends! DMs absolutely allowed, but please keep in mind it may take time to respond! <3

Future decks I want to build: Denzilore Fatehold (Reality Fracture) The Ur-Sphinx (Reality Fracture Commander) Grizzlegom, Hurloon Hero (Mystery Booster: Commander Edition)
Denzilore Fatehold , 1 White Blue Blue
Legendary Creature - Elder Sphinx
Flash, Flying
Whenever you scry or surveil, put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control.
3/4The Ur-Sphinx , 6 White Blue Black
Legendary Creature - Sphinx Avatar

Eminence - As long as The Ur-Sphinx is in the command zone or on the battlefield, other Sphinx spells you cast cost 1 less to cast.

Flying

Whenever one or more Sphinxes you control attack, each player mills that many cards. For each player, you may cast a card that player milled this way without paying its mana cost.

10/10Grizzlegom, Hurloon Hero , 5 Red Green
Legendary Creature - Minotaur Warrior

Rulebreaker - A deck with this commander can have any land cards.

Whenever Grizzlegom attacks, create a 1/1 white Soldier creature token for each Plains you control. Draw a card for each Island you control. Each opponent loses 1 life for each Swamp you control. Put a +1/+1 counter on Grizzlegom for each Mountain you control. You gain 1 life for each Forest you control.

Deck Name: The Moria Incident Commander: Bifur, Melodic Rider Primary Strategy: Dwarf Kindred Secondary Strategies: Equipment, Secret Commander Play tons of dwarves and equipment for fun and profit. Then once the party is in full swing, invite a surprise guest who who won't at all be problematic!
Bifur, Melodic Rider , 4 Red/White Red/White
Legendary Creature - Dwarf Bard
Storied (If you control three or more artifacts, legendaries, and/or Sagas, you have an enduring story for the rest of the game.)

Whenever Bifur enters or attacks, put a +1/+1 counter on target creature.

As long as you have an enduring story, if an ability of a Dwarf you control triggers, that ability triggers an additional time.

4/5*SECRET COMMANDER*
Sephiroth, Fallen Hero , 3 Red White
Legendary Creature - Human Avatar Soldier

Jenova Cells - Whenever Sephiroth attacks, you may put a cell counter on target creature. Until end of turn, each modified creature you control has base power and toughness 7/5.

The Reunion - 3, Sacrifice a modified creature: Return this card from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped.

Deck Name: Crystals to the Moon Commander: Golbez, Crystal Collector (Dimir) Primary Strategy: Artifacts Secondary Strategies: Reanimator, Burn, Dimir Nonsense Flood the board with artifacts, flood the graveyard with huge creatures. Bring them back, burn everybody's face off!
Golbez, Crystal Collector , Blue Black
Legendary Creature - Human Wizard
Whenever an artifact you control enters, surveil 1.
At the beginning of your end step, if you control four or more artifacts, return target creature card from your graveyard to your hand. Then if you control eight or more artifacts, each opponent loses life equal to that card's power.

Deck Name: Mysidia Community College Commander: Tellah, Great Sage (Izzet) Primary Strategy: Big Spellslinger Secondary Strategies: Tokens, Storm, Lessons Kindred I built this deck with the express purpose of trying to get the old man to explode. Except he tends to storm off way too easily. Benched
Tellah, Great Sage, 3 Blue Red
Legendary Creature - Human Wizard
Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, create a 1/1 colorless Hero creature token. If four or more mana was spent to cast that spell, draw two cards. If eight or more mana was spent to cast that spell, sacrifice Tellah and it deals that much damage to each opponent.
3/3

Deck Name: Time Compression Commander: Edea, Possessed Sorceress (Grixis) Primary Strategy: Theft Secondary Strategies: Gifting, Goading, Group Hug, Minigames The deck has zero win condition. The whole point is to steal creatures and give them to other players. If I win, it's by sheer chance.
Edea, Possessed Sorceress. 2 Blue Black Red

Legendary Creature - Human Warlock

Ward 2

At the beginning of combat on your turn, gain control of target creature an opponent controls until end of turn. Untap that creature. It gains haste until end of turn.

Whenever a creature you control but don't own dies, return it to the battlefield under its owner's control and you draw a card.

Deck Name: World of Ruin Commander: Celes, Rune Knight (Mardu) Primary Strategy: Reanimator Secondary Strategies: +1/+1 Counters, Burn The deck works primarily by casting or blinking Celes to fill my graveyard, then bring all of my creatures back. There are plenty of creatures that burn.
Magic: the Gathering Card. Celes, Rune Knight (1 Red White Black) Legendary Creature - Human Wizard Knight.

When Celes enters, discard any number of cards, then draw that many cards plus one.

Whenever one or more other creatures you control enter, if one or more of them entered from a graveyard or was cast from a graveyard, put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control.

We also have these dumbasses getting a new card after thirty years. I really hope this new Mystery Booster becomes more than just convention fun like the other Mystery Boosters. Many of us can't really go to MagicCons.

I love New Capenna so much that my favorite one-drop creature in Magic is surprisingly not Ragavan (though my fursona is heavily based on Ragavan because he's still really neat), but actually the goodest boy, Goldhound!

I wanted to share a little bit of inside baseball for fun. So I go to my LGS every Sunday to play Commander. When I started going, I reconnected with one of my oldest friends after a decade. On the life total tracker, she always sets mine to Mr. Orfeo, the Boulder. I adore him.

The amount of flowers I see some Hoyoverse games unjustly get while Eiyuden Chronicle goes criminally underplayed does genuinely frustrate me. LOOK AT THIS MAN. YOU COULD HAVE THIS MAN IN YOUR PARTY AND YOU ARE ACTIVELY CHOOSING NOT TO.

I made it a point to try to not repeat games, but there's definitely an entry or two that I absolutely cheated on. With that in mind, many of the games selected bleed into other categories and don't neatly fit into one category. But this is the best I could think of. grids.fun/t/about-me-v...

The army is sent in to wipe out the Boy Scouts, but two of them survive. The South is blamed for it. One of the Boy Scouts goes on to rope a ton of random strangers into a militia to fight back. Heated Rivalry ensues. Also there are flying squirrels involved.

That's tough! I mean, I think one of my favorites that I tend to fall back on, and admittedly not really one that is too often explored is nanos living in on the body of a macro. Be it symbiotic, parasitic, or even a more sadistic macro using certain parts of their body as dungeons!
Question: "BEST macro/micro scenario?"

I don't normally do these because I don't take compliments well? But this is less "how good/bad I am?" and more "Who do I most resemble?" so it feels more okay.

Love him! When I see this guy, I can't help myself from thinking about Stu from Monster Prom. Who actually has very much the same kind of energy!

With alt text because I posted before I thought:

2K Games literally pulled an American Healthcare System on Civ VII. Says it's on my wishlist, but not anymore it's not. What a scummy thing to do.

I hope everyone's enjoying Oblivion Remastered! I've been seeing people post screenshots of their characters and they look great! Here's mine. Looks a little weird. Has a strange "kernel" in there for some reason. But surely, it's fine... right?

A scene from media that absolutely destroyed you. GIFs only Not a movie but it still hurts. This cutscene devastates me every time. I refuse to provide the context. Go play Final Fantasy XIV, I beg. (Also, this is my second attempt at posting an animated GIF. If it doesn't work, I'm sorry.)

Game #3: Dragon Age: Origins Dark as it is, I feel like the game has excellent storytelling and world-building, and I am certainly looking forward to The Veilguard when it comes out! It was also one of the very first video games in the zeitgeist that had a well-developed same-sex romance in Zevran

Game #2: Final Fantasy V One of my favorite Final Fantasy games truly sparked my fascination not only with the franchise but also with the larger meta-lore that sprung from it. There has been no single mainline FF game since this that hasn't drawn inspiration from FFV and for a good reason!

Archie the Keyboard Monkey @archiethemonkey.bsky.social · 22/10/2024
Game #1: Suikoden II Suikoden is a phenomenal, albeit poorly supported franchise, and, as such, is less popular than I would like it to be. Suikoden II especially has a very dark and complex story filled with political intrigue, sprinkling in anime absurdity to significant effect!

Productive day. Got laundry done, picked up two Lorcana starter decks to learn how to play with my boyfriend during our date on Friday (it's a surprise!) Bought this mug, opened this in the included pack of one of the starters. @tylebtheimp.bsky.social photobombed my day.
