I have this thought where the deck is all cheap sagas, azorius men, and lots of drawing cards. I'll get back to you on what that actually means when it comes to putting together the pile of cardboard.

I have a thing for Azorius men

The idea of using the token generation made me think I wanted to pair it with Raphael Fiendish Savior. Giving those imps a bump and lifelink. That's how I would do it and if I built her I would sharpie over the first line.

Lynn @checkyourbulk.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

That its lifelink and death touch makes it even more gross. Our casual game went to the time limit and I was sitting at 80+ life.

Lynn @checkyourbulk.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Yep. And I made sure when I did my thing it was a big turn. Mana Geyser for tons of mana into Jeska's Will into ... commander was even killed but I immediately brought her back.

I built this. I tuned it. I played. I destroyed with it. I'm tearing it apart.

I was meme-ing when I called the ponies the best card in The Hobbit set. Obviously the best card is this value engine. Draws a card. Discards a card. Creates a 1/1. Returns a creature and puts on a +1/+1 counter. Not quite fable of the mirror breaker but it's got a lot.

I have it really focused on a single player. So dmg marked on the side ones remove from the main total I've sketched out the two player and four player mode but paused the idea because it's likely too slow to handle effects like everyone opponent "loses 1 life and I you gain 1 life."

Lynn @checkyourbulk.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Your idea made me think that this would work well with clone commanders.

Lynn @checkyourbulk.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Yes. E-ink flashes the image into the display and then it's essentially stuck there until later set again. So zero power requirement to keep the display on. Low power to wake to respond to the button presses

Lynn @checkyourbulk.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Next project is to mod this cute thing (espressif esp32-s3-box-3). The initial idea is a dedicated family communicator with some personal touches and complete control of the data from end-to-end

Ah yes the famous Academy Manufactor mode

A card-sized e-ink life tracker feels useful. An e-ink token card is an interesting idea but more of a gimmick, not practical, compared to a pack of @infinitokens.com

It stores 17 tokens. You show 1 token full screen or 4 in a grid. Neither of those modes seem like all that great of an idea because with 1 you have to have multiple devices. With 4, when do you have exactly that out on the battlefield? How do you tap 1 and not the other 3?

Lynn @checkyourbulk.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

I built this little eink life tracker and it's been working flawlessly. I've talked about it enough that the algorithm wants me to see more @magic.wizards.com tech and the most recent is this e-token that lets you cycle through different tokens. And I don't get it. 👇

Woke up from a nap where I dreamed of a Diablo-set Universes Beyond. Reprints of relevant class enchantments and new missing ones (amazon, demon hunter), legendary creatures for NPCs and Bosses, very equipment/gear focused. And different Loot Goblins with “when this dies discover X” What a dream!

I see it enough and probably a lot of when I'm looking in the mirror. I love a good sac this item, draw cards based on its mana value, counters, power, toughness, astrological sign ...

Scryfall tags logically define those venn diagrams. 1️⃣ I like discarding 🟰 `function:"loot"` 2️⃣ I want to get paid for it! 🟰 `function:"self-discard matters"`

But like no more group projects though ... oh wait, turns out real life is a lot more group projects

Lynn @checkyourbulk.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

I see your points about wheels being the enabler but I can't unsee: - flash speed - low mana value - any target damage per qualifying draw - token creature with incrementing counters per qualifying draw

So much clarity about bracket 3

What does colorless mana taste like?

Lynn @checkyourbulk.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Yeah it's so do nothing for 2 mana and only for mountains. Not even a landfall trigger of target creature gets first strike and/or +1/+0 until end of turn.

The perfect Commander card doesn't exist, but you can pry Descent into Avernus out of my cold, dead hands. I slap this into basically every Red deck at this point because it both speeds the game and my clock up, but also delivers way more fun stories when people get to spend silly amounts of mana.

Oh is that like returning to the set that got you into the game?

I actually stripped this deck down a few weeks ago after haven't not played it for a long while. Each attempt at design always ended in mana drain, demonic tutor, jeska's will and some aura curses.

Time for Lynde to retire and make room for the future of commander design, non-soupy, surgically precise decks around a theme.

My mtg lifetracker fits perfectly 🥰🥰 it's such a stylish combo with @tolariancommunitycollege.com deckbox.

A Tolarian Community College commander deckbox exclusive from Kickstarter open next to a gaming table. A few markers and a life counter eink display shows 40 life. A magic card sits in the right pocket.

It feels like it. Burnished was 3 and 3. Sure. Burnished could swing out and then activate during or after. This still works defensively to block and sacrifice (no sorcery clause). @onionbug.bsky.social used Delina Wild Mage and Burnished to good effect one time (Tiamat deck?).
