a bunch of boosters and my own premade rookie deck

cassie also got a deck so we can start picking stuff apart to make offline commander decks to take to local games eventually

this is the deck list

this is where we bought it apparently cassie briefly lived in the pacific nw and went to the actual store attached to this place

she has lived so many places

even includes a shoebox-ass card holder for now

this is probably the least surprising "atma picks up a pandemic hobby" choice after me getting into ff14

the kamigawa art cards are now glued to my laptop as like, faux stickers

Kamigawa Neon Dynasty has some great looking cards

but I love that old Theros pack in there too

we bought a mystery booster stack alongside the kamigawa (which is cassie's favorite aesthetically, she will defend the original set)

there's some fun choices among the pile we bought, there's a bunch of stuff here for when we start looking at offline commander decks

original Kamigawa was cool, my first coherent deck was a bunch of ninjas friends gave me that they weren't using

yeah she told me the ninjas were incredibly strong

i became someone she could teach the game to/explain lore id seen in my life/online and it just became a "let's just play it" and turns out I Like This

she does card/ttrpg design/testing and has done it for known companies

so she has a lot of thoughts on it and appreciates what og Kamigawa was aiming for

it aimed high and missed in some ways

oh hey card kingdom nice

once i get better im gonna look into making a samurai deck since one of the legal for commander guys is basically musashi

Isshin, Two Heavens as One

weve been using this to do our online decks

that link is tiny thanks me

EDHREC

she has me watching youtubers and everything

and yeah card kingdom seems to be the best for our budget and everyone recommends it

yeah edhrec is a staple resource

Card Kingdom we specifically got stuff from this page

she bought a 5 color battle deck and kicked my ass but it's because i mana flooded hard but she thinks i got a good grip on it

oh hey here is cassie talking about game design and ...

thanks for shortening it! its her thoughts on kamigawa and art direction

new kamigawa is exactly the set for you

I play onUntap.in - The ultimate play-testersometimes if you wanna do commander stuff there

for isshin I reccomendDolmen GateReconnaissanceIroas, God of VictoryGustcloak Savior

and the classic, versatile:Mother of Runes

if anyone has tabletop sim on steam this is the module we're using to play the game

it has a command where it will load a whole deck off scryfall images using a pastebin like this

but all the resources i can get right now helps, she's debating if i should try like, mtg arena or not, her experience there is Mixed, but playing the module on TTS and loading custom decks works wonders for the level i'm at

Arena has zero of the social aspect which makes it feel off

yeah a lot of why she's getting me into it is we found a massive tabletop/card game store a few miles off/a bus ride away that we visited and it's got Tournaments and Tables and like free board game nights and i could come in anytime for a game or pay $30 to do like cubes or drafts

ours is the burnsville location

cassie was actually considering an alesha themed commander deck for me, since she thinks red/white and red/black both could work for me
