You have my vote on the grounds that there is a Kevin at my FLGS and I am quite frankly tired of his bullshit.

It's going to be crowded, probably more crowded than you think.
There aren't many opportunities to sit down; if you see one, take it.
If at all possible, bring your own food and beverages.

There are players playing blue, and then there are blue players. Big difference.

No, basic Island is fine.
Blue players should be banned.

I guess I'll swap out Consecrated Sphinx for Jin-Gitaxias then.

Ich habe nicht den Eindruck, dass du dich zu oft wiederholst, verfolge aber zugegebenermaßen auch nicht alles, was du machst.

Some precon only designs have stood the test of time

Others have aged into forgotten gems, thanks to shifts in the overall Commander metagame

Also, I just really wanted to use the art for Malicious Affliction in an article...???

You mean to tell me that there are times when you don't have that urge?

The way the world is going, we're in dire need of hand baskets, whatever those are.

Die gleichen Leute rümpfen die Nase oder murmeln Despektierliches, wenn ich mit Maske im Supermarkt einkaufe, husten aber selbst den ein oder anderen Lungenflügel hoch.

Sure, why not, we didn't have a market crash in a couple of months.
And the narcissistic baby in chief didn't get what he wanted, so I should have expected this.

Quite a few actually.
I am particularly fond of these two, mainly but not necessarily only for 5 CMC commanders.

Exodus Wood Elves is better.

Orvar: I don't want to play bracket 5 and it's too powerful for bracket 4.

Yusri: Flipping a million coins is annoying - as are extra turn spells, I've been told.

They are still together because the cards are so specific that I don't need them anywhere else.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.
