I don't usually post #EDH card recommendations, but Unearth is my (phyrexian) sleeper pick. IMHO 90% of "3MV or under, black+" commanders want this... and yet it has <4% inclusion on #EDHREC (<20% on many relevant decks). Wake up, (phyrexian) sleepers! #mtg #mtgcommander #commander #mtgedh

The MTG card called "Unearth", which only costs only 1 mana to return any creature with Mana Value 3 or less from the graveyard to the battlefield. It also as cycling, which allows you discard it away to draw a replacement card for only 2 mana, in case you are in a game where it's not useful.

As a (not all too successful) MTG content creator myself, I feel you. I applaud you and the Cast team for striking a good balance! AND I’ll comment that I love niche “challenge the stats” segments and would overall be here for more stuff you want (but I don’t drive the view algorithm)

Great episode! I love comparisons of data like this. I have a [bracket 2]-only spelltable server that tracks our data and has 618 games logged (you folks have more games recorded than me by now) We definitely have some different methodology if you ever want to compare HMU

Game data for this past 1 year of bracket 2 games in small server

Been on #cosmic #cosmic_de for a few days now & love it; strong recommend. Easy to use tiling window management with sensible floating window management. The best of both worlds. Good default look. Good application runner. Minimal and efficient. #foss #linux #arch #archlinux #wayland #opensource

Here is my last hand before unlocking my last gold sticker (Turtle Bean). Also iOS has a bug where sometimes achievements don’t show until you beat a normal run. So here’s the white stake hand I played to get the achievement to show.

The Golden Fool is me. C++ was my destiny. And now, see: #balatro #c++

@josephmschultz.bsky.social Hey. Long time listener and on/off patron here. Just listened to ep 386 and wanted to share data about turn order. I’m part of a [B2] only server that has recorded match data since 2022. Still not a large sample size but more than an individual.

Finally beat all the challenges in #balatro I now have every achievement except c++ Turns out in order to get 100,000 with 5-of you only need it on lvl 27. Copied blue seal 8s to lvl 29, and the glass card helped me beat the extra large blind ::::)

After a little editing, #KDEplasma is starting to feel like home. Still got some work to do. Still in the market for icon/cursor packs or other suggestions. #archlinux #arch #linux #KDE

KDE Plasma desktop. Purple with synthwave moon/sun.

Just some programs open. Fastfetch for system info.

Firefox with my most used webpage open - Scryfall

Finally got Completionist+ on #balatro for #ios Still going to do the challenges, but probably won’t go for c++ Here’s some of my stat pages

I finally got the #balatro achievement for having too many cards in deck. Had 120 when I died on ante 12 ;(

WitchPHD @witchphd.com · 31/05/2025

For any U.S. #MTG #EDH shoppers concerned about TCGPLAYER strikes&stuff: There's a (relatively) new kid on the block, manapool.com with p much the exact same service. @moxfield.com just rolled out integration, so you can use them for pricing too... and they're slightly cheaper on average, somehow.

WitchPHD @witchphd.com · 21/04/2025

Those are inaccurate since they can only see cards: They’re not playing the deck feeling the vibe, measuring the turn the game close, or doing any of the other stuff which is just as important. From experience all the MH3 precons I’ve played against (like the Eldrazi 1) are at least [bracket 3]

I was just yapping on Reddit about how I never have any luck with Vampire. Then I got the Vampire-Mask combo like I’m in Jojo part 1 (Phantom Blood). #Balatro

I love your labels as they are so clear to read. I gotta get myself a label printer; I’ve been writing mine by hand:

Started playing #balatro @playbalatro.com 17 days ago and now I beat my first full run. Arguably on the easiest deck (checkered). MVP was supernova. Which deck should I defeat next?

WitchPHD @witchphd.com · 27/12/2024

Started playing #balatro @playbalatro.com yesterday and got my first victory today with this build. Farmed money from Pareidolia + Faceless Joker, but sold faceless for Smily Face later. Played so many pairs Supernova +31 mult.

Great video as always. I have a pretty low power playgroup that’s also been tracking stats via a web engine for about two years. Our findings for turn position are similar but slightly different: in our games, p1 does win more, but it’s a small enough difference to be a “rounding error.”
