I had a feeling so I looked it up; Nadu is the only card to be banned out of modern, legacy, and commander. Wild stuff

Tymna/Akiri, malcolm/vial, rog/si, me

Rogsi won with necro on turn 3 into my remora through interaction. Should’ve taken something different with my oppo on him. 2-4, not gonna make the cut

Me, thras/vial, malcolm/vial, mono white heliod
Went to time, won at time. Touch the spirit realm is *gas* into rule of law and stax in general. 2-3

Tivit, Helga, me, Thrasios/Akiri

I had T2 Thassa shove, Tivit had the fluster, then turns around and has T3 Tivit + Sieve. Them’s the breaks. 1-3

TnK, me, Najeela, Master of Keys

Kept a ridiculous second 7 with T1 esper plus remora. Neither of them drew any cards for three turns and I was properly mana screwed. Eventually got a smothering tithe down but it was too late. 1-2

Rakdos Dargo, Marath, Me, Esika

Mulled to 4 and kept an all-in T1 Tymna hand of two lands, mox diamond, dark ritual. Then proceeded to basically rip the best card in my deck every turn for T4 necro + flash win. Better lucky than good sometimes, 1-1

Round 1

Me, Animar, Derevi, Loot

Great back and forth game with many win attempts, all came down to me naming the wrong card on demonic consultation. 0-1, we go agane.

God of Commander in Tokyo today! 6 rounds, Japanese point rules, cut to top 12, playing ol’ reliable. 🫡
If I have time I’ll be posting about my games here.

Lastly, Final Fortune signed by @ring13.bsky.social. The best friend I made from mtg and a brilliant TnK pilot and inspiration for me. She taught me how to play this card, by catching me *twice* after draws that I had locked up if only I could see the FF line. Thanks Madi, as always :) 終

Dark Ritual signed by Jeremiah Wood, at the time an up-and-coming rogsi pilot local to our (frankly stacked) Midwest events who I became well acquainted with. Asked him to sign the “most RogSi card” I play, and this fit perfectly 11/

OBM signed by Nick, a mono-G Marwyn player who loathes this card, and we all thought it would be absolutely hilarious and fitting if they signed the most anti-green card in the deck, since of course there’s no green. Wonder how many elves it’s pinged. Oops lol 10/

Cavern of Souls signed by jcollins. This one was actually also a going away gift from him as well, and the inspiration for this collection. Told me to stay safe on my new adventure overseas, and to always “protect my humans.” 🥲 9/

MBT signed by Sky, a blue control mage friend who I told “If you pull a foil Mindbreak at OTJ prerelease, first I’ll flip out, then I’ll buy it off of you :)”
This is the trap she pulled 8/

And finally, the most precious cards in my collection. Before I left for Japan, I asked some great friends to sign some of my cards in this deck, that I associated with them and with my memories of playing magic with them. I've got a bit to say about each one and their people. 7/

Brain Freeze, which an online friend lent to me to “test drive” at the Cowtown tournament where we met face to face for the first time. We all kind of knew immediately though that I would end up buying it from him at the end of the day lmao 6/

Traded for this Necro from a close friend for a large chunk of my binder. Eventually used it to win the most weasel politics game of my life, off a mull to 3 that involved consultation and dark ritual 😈 5/
November 24, 2024 at 2:50 AM
Monkey, the first card with any value I ever pulled, from a MOM prerelease kit bought for fun at a tournament, on the recommendation of a friend who told me to “open a monkey” :) 4/
November 24, 2024 at 2:49 AM
Then likely the reason I’m done, plus to flex a little: all the cards I won directly, or were funded partially or entirely by winnings. Especially my Plateau, from my first event ever, and my LED, funded fully from splitting a Twister with Heyward and @comedianmtg.bsky.social 3/

Where does an edh deck start if not the commanders? @modflyalters.bsky.social on the front, @boshnroll.bsky.social signed on the back. Still pretty new to magic so bosh was a cedh inspiration for me, and mod’s alter combines two of my biggest influences over the last years. 2/

At last, 100/100 real cards in TnK. Slowly moving from proxies to real cards has a passion project for the last year and a half, between trades and winnings and purchases and new printings.
Think I’m gonna turn this into a thread with my favorite stories of the cards in this deck.
