    Well we got our first look at Ixalan and some interesting things are taking place. Yes that is a legendary walker and now walkers work like how legendaries normally work, so you can have two different named Jaces, Gideons, Nissas, or Ajanis.

    I'm personally excited for Jin-Gitaxias and Consecrated Sphinx for my new commander deck and Lotus Cobra.

    With Iconic Masters fully spoiled, thanks to the events at Hascon, it's definitely not great. It's barely as good as Eternal Masters, and that wasn't very good.

    Are you kidding me? They're freaking reprinting MANA DRAIN FFS. Necropotence, all the praetors, all the Kamigawa Dragons...this set is a gold mine.

    Speaking of gold mine, I'd like to share my holy of holies: The $20,000 Sliver EDH deck!

    One card does not a set make.

    The set just doesn't feel "Iconic". They touted it as angels, hydras, dragons, and other things like that, but we really only got dragons, and unfortunately most players felt that Iconic was more about cool or amazing old cards that are deemed iconic in a historical sense for the game. It just doesn't feel iconic and yet again no reason for these packs being $10 for something this boring and not on point.

    Honestly this set seems like something they came out with last minute when they saw they had a gap in the release schedule.

    I was hoping there would be one of these in the new Un-set.

    Good on you with having fun with the wife that way. The new commander decks are a tad flawed, but overall still a good product. Did you end up playing with the new Merfolk vs. Goblin duel decks?

    I agree that Duel Decks are great for a balanced game, although it's pretty common that one is better than the other.

    The next prerelease coming up in your area might be for Unstable, which is another "joke set" they do rarely. I do recommend it as those cards are hilarious to play with and this particular set the cards are closer to actual cards than some of the crazier ones in the past.



    Speaking of which here is a new card for it they just showed.

    Besides the Duel Decks we also play the Commander pre-cons and I'm thinking of picking up some of the Planewalker intro decks, figure those should be fairly balanced with each other. It just makes for a more fun experience considering it's just the two of us playing each other. The last time I tried to gel into a Magic store community we just never fit, we're a bit older than most of the crowd in our late 40s
    Sounds like some fun. I wouldn't recommend the Planeswalker decks, but I look more at value in the deck when it comes to those than anything else. The Commander decks are always a fun time.

    Over time they did get a little worse, I think the series worked better when they seemed like normal Magic players than right now with them making what feels like skits.

    Unfortunately no decks for it, so you would have to buy packs, but if you want you could make sealed decks. Buy 6 packs each, build a deck from those cards, and have fun that way.

    So I've been playing with my friends again lately, and a random rule question came up. My friend uses a Gravepower deck with Laboratory Maniac. If this card's effect triggers, but his opponent has a card that says "you can't lose the game", what happens?

    Also, did something I haven't done in a long time, which was order cards. Putting together a white life gain deck. Had to avoid paying for some really expensive stuff though.

    So I had to look this up. Lab Maniac replaces the draw, so they won't win because of the other effect but they won't lose either since they technically never draw from the empty library. In this case, the game would continue as normal until one of the effects is removed. I believe...

    Also, after the return to Dominaria, we get to return return to Ravnica! Three full sets and supposedly the end of the Gatewatch saga.

    Announcement Day was kind of lame, seeing as Ravnica was easy to foresee coming and we only learned about two cards for Battlebond with Guild Decks coming for Ravnica. After that it was a bit boring. I expected to learn a bit about Commander at least.

    I miss the novels a bit though, those fat packs definitely felt worth it to me.
