The sleeves on my Changeling deck are the same ones I bought around 2013. They have always been in use on a Commander deck, and after 12ish years of regular use I've had like 10 sleeves split?

With the extra purples I found they'll hopefully last another decade :)

I struck gold in my storage unit during my last trip to Canada

My last batch of unused KMC Hyper MAT Sleeves from the early 2010s, their golden era

@tolariancommunitycollege.com 's review got me to try them and he was 100% correct, they were the 🐐

My "considering" pile is bigger than my actual deck 😅

I've got 9 cards I want to test in Changelings and I have no clue what I can cut for them.

It might be time where I divide the deck into a "core" (lands + changelings) pile that never changes, and an "everything else" pile that a random selection gets shuffled in to form the 99 before each game

I knew Azula would be popular but wow

I know I'm a biased Red Mage but firebending is my favorite mechanic of the year

I recently made a video talking about Red's weaknesses in Commander and (non-Storm) mana advantage was a big one

Firebending is mana advantage that is so RED but also interesting and not necessarily* storm

People who are familiar with the comics that Cosmic Spider-Man appears in: do the card mechanics match the flavor?

Reading a short wiki, it seems like his listed powers match the keywords (lifelink = "life force energy"?). He protects other Spider-Folk in his universe = gives them keywords?

The most important card from the set

My compliments to whoever designed the packaging, having the airbender tattoo as the opening strip is very cute

Genuinely so hyped for Avatar, so I'm absolutely delighted to have received this free gift from @wotc-news.bsky.social and @yrstruly.uk ! The gorgeous Earth Kingdom deck box is made by Gatherer's Tavern!

I love that they made a great beginner box and Jumpstart too, they're perfect for new players!

Avatar has so many interesting and powerful new commanders that I love the designs of but at the same time the deck I'm most excited to assemble is this spooky boi

I love this Aang so much. It's basically 2025 version of one of my all-time favorite cards, OG Venser

This one is janky and slow in 2025 but I don't care, perfect excuse for me to jam nostalgia cards

This card is convincing me to put fetchlands back into my Changeling deck

Fetchlands might have been a mistake eh? 😅

THE ART IS SO GOOD
November 6, 2025 at 1:40 PM
Yeah idk. Looking at Avatar Jumpstart there's a handful of cards that reward you for casting on opposing turns, but it's so minor, why not reinforce Blue's main theme?

I can only guess. Maybe waterbending changed late in development and this somehow wasn't updated?

I think Katara is far and away the strongest of the cycle but it still rustles my jimmies a bit

Like Azula is just lucky to be here, they did my girl dirty
November 6, 2025 at 11:08 AM
Most minor gripe in the world:

Katara, Waterbending Master

Doesn't waterbend on the card 😭

ALL THE OTHERS IN THE CYCLE DO!

The card templates here are so lovely and they let the art shine, I wonder if there's legal reasons why they couldn't do the same with the screenshots?

I prioritize card designs and mechanics that resonate with me over flavor and Avatar is been a real treat for that so far.

BUT as someone who just rewatched the show, the fact that this card has really interesting mechanics AND perfectly captures "the exiled prince returned" is just perfect.
