Beginning the soft launch of my commander league for 2026 in the @warroomedh.bsky.social discord: BREACH THE MULTIVERSE!
I've been wanting to brew up something special for it for a while and not just repeat the same thing we did this year, and I came up with... this

We had some upgrades for Grist today, so as per the rules of the universe we wound up with the deck's worst showing yet 😅 Didn't hit my lands, so none of my threats were, uh, threatening

Battle Beast track was cool! I've not listened to them much before, but it was good hearing some fairly trad heavy metal 😁
My 2025 track is by The Stupendium - they are incredibly consistent in their creation of phenomenal, inclusive music.

I'll be honest, as a UR player at heart this standard lessons deck is absolute gas to watch 😅 I mean you get to build your own Ancestral Recall AND build your own Bolts with Monument? Sign me up 😅

2025 gaming backlog 45 - Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon (3DS)
Can't let a year go by without playing a Pokemon game, can I? USUM are fantastic, surprisingly challenging games, but I'm let down a little by the RR postgame and how long it takes to get the new plot moving.

My first 4 Commander decks:
- Tishana was GU Merfolk (my loves); it's now a Thrasios/Tymna Merfolk deck.
- Ghave I kept for a long time but was finally crept out by 2025 Magic. One day I'll rebuild it.
- Tawnos still exists!
- Shanna was a quick idea that didn't pan out 🤷♀️

Explains a lot; Discord wouldn't even let me do the Checkpoint thing because I have a bunch of privacy options already checked. Fine by me.
Guys, do not use the Discord Checkpoint thing (Discord's attempt at Spotify Wrapped).
It requires enabling them access to scrape your data, and has an alarming amount of private data being used for it.
Make sure you have these disabled.

I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being.
Abandon Twitter for good. It's time. It's been time.

After battle report, Grist claimed yet another scalp in this game continuing its obscene effort to pad my winrate stats for the year.
Turns out, BG self-mill is just very resilient, who could've guessed 😅Though I was helped a lot by a combat decision to take out Ragost rather than me 😆

It's the last month of War Room's budget league! Starting off with my Grist self-mill deck that's 2 months behind the budget vs. Ragost articrats, Inspirit robot pilots, and Bello Enchantments!

I see lots of people posting their skircles or whatever they're called and I'm reminded I'm very rarely in any of them. This is because I have carefully and studiously made sure to basically never talk to anyone on this website 😆

I mean this is frankly unbelievable. Amazing from everyone who donated, but holy heck what a job by Ryan to get it going. He's one of the good ones; yer man just lives for the Magic community.
Final Update! Grand total raised was $5,000!!! Such an incredible effort by our community. So proud of each and every one of you! Winners have been drawn and will be listed in follow-on posts! Thank you again to all who helped make this a success!!!
Another BIG UPDATE! We've received another donation from within the community that we will be adding to the prize pool! We'll be raffling off a Collector's Box of Edge of Eternities as well as a copy of today's Encyclopedia of Magic Secret Lair. thank you to our silent donor!

Temur Tuesday!
Temur's such a weird colour for me - it has some of my favourite cards to cast but also some of the worst and most boring cards in all of Magic (MIIRYM FUCK YOUUU). My pick today is a fun one though because it's a hideously expensive one-sided Show and Tell effect and I _love_ those!

i don't like that so much magic content is EV pack cracking or talking about the finance of things broadly like it could become a pennies per card game and i'd still wanna riff on like, cube
like i mean it's funny when bulk skyrockets but that shouldn't be the focus here. it's a game.
