I wish I could make Vegas work for 2026 since I had such a good time this year but sadly it’s right at the end of the school year and someone has to teach these kids. Here’s hoping for Atlanta in 2026

Exactly! Commander is a time to hang out and game with people, yes winning is cool but let's all try to win in this 4 player game not 3 of us try to win while 1 player watches

Love this card I just added it into the new cube I'm building!

NanMans Nerd Corner on YouTube @therealnanman.bsky.social · 2d

Most people just decline when this hits the table now but I like this card as a way to help myself but offer ways to help someone else at the table. Especially if you are playing a lower power game where you want everyone to feel like they got to do the thing it can help someone who is behind.

can y’all share your opinions of Tempt With Discovery?

I run it, assuming it’s going to grab a nonbasic, and maybe let a landfycked opponent get back in the game

But I have had folks get uber salty when I cast it.
Far beyond just “everyone vote no” and moving on

And it feels like an overreaction

Tempt with Discovery
{3}{G}
Sorcery
Tempting offer — Search your library for a land card and put it onto the battlefield. Each opponent may search their library for a land card and put it onto the battlefield. For each opponent who searches a library this way, search your library for a land card and put it onto the battlefield. Then each player who searched a library this way shuffles.

I have a couple others but I’m not sure if the power level will be too much like there’s one that lets you play extra lands or all the activated abilities but if I want to power up the cube more I might include the others

Sadly the frog belongs in the powered vintage cube. Guess you’ll just have to draft that one 👀

I’m hoping to have the first playtest with my play group on the 18th. So should have the video released by the beginning of November

NanMans Nerd Corner on YouTube @therealnanman.bsky.social · 5d

Working through my bulk and old commander decks to make a new cube this time focused on mechanics and being a 4 player. Going to try to put together a video about the experience but here is a little preview I’ve added a couple old theros path of the hero cards since they make perfect conspiracies

If anyone knows of a store or personal collection that would like to donate 16 boosters from a master set, a recent collector's pack, or a pre-2016 set, please let me know. We'd love to partner with you for a project we're working on for next year.

Oh nice! Hopefully I get lucky with the other secret lairs. I picked that one up in Atlanta the others should be here this week though

Which set did yours come in? I got a black and white brainstorm in my color venom secret lair

A good summary of what it's like to get cards signed at a MagicCon! Of course, if you don't want to wait in line, you can always send your cards to my service. 🧙‍♂️

Going to start doing more talking head videos on YouTube to test things out. I love doing commentary but sometimes I just want to talk about the game and don’t have the time to keep up with a consistent podcast or stream schedule.

My buddy Ruben attended his first magic con in Atlanta. He helped me with hosting my event in creator central and filmed a bunch! Here's a little behind the scenes he put together from the event

Ruben Ferreira @hivebl00d.bsky.social · 10d

Just a cheeky Magic Con Atlanta video from a noob looking to enter the content space after being a long time fan of what others are doing for the game. Any suggestions on editing or creation are much appreciated. #mtg #magiccon @therealnanman.bsky.social

So did you miss those “Bloomburrow” style videos?
The newest article series I’m starting on @playedh.bsky.social is called “The Flavour of Magic” where we talk about the Ludonarrative of Magic cards and pair it with a recipe you can make at home.
