Thoughts after some games we played today - these are the thoughts of Jen. Today we played a couple of games and the first game seemed to be moving along, but my deck was not quite at the same level. It felt bad. Then I started thinking about it and I do not need to feel bad, I do need to recognize sometimes decks are not matched up and that is going to happen. I do not typically interact with the game in a way that prevents my opponents from doing what they want to do unless it has an impact on what I am trying to do. I do not enjoy playing against decks that interact with the game often as I feel this puts a damper on things. I am not saying there is anything wrong with playing a specific way, I am writing this to help recognize how I feel.
Streaming on Twitch has opened so many doors and windows for us. We took a break from Magic and then we came back to it. When we came back to it I started with Instagram when I started seeing posts for Magic. I was like wait, what is happening here. I tried Twitter, and honestly at first it seemed toxic and I did not want anything to do with it. In time I learned it is only as toxic as you make it or allow it to be. When Doni and I got more active on Twitter we found Twitch. There was some Twitch before that, but I had no idea how many streamers there were who played paper commander on stream.

One day I reached out to Sheldon of the Rule Committee and said: He wrote back almost right away and asked me to guest on the RC Stream! I was blown away. E...
This year we are taking things one step further when it comes to our games of commander. I will be keeping track of how we die and what turn we die on. I am interested in remembering more game detail and keeping track of how things play out. I started a HIT List for Doni and I, this way I know who I want a rematch with. Yesterday Doni and I played 2 games with BenjitheBrewer and Andy Zupke from Twitter. I played My Angels/Equipment deck led by Zamriel from the Game Nights : Free for All. In game 2 I played my new Gruul Dragon deck lead by Ganax and Background as the Acolyte of Bahamut. This was only the 2nd time I have played either of these decks. on Turn 5 playing Ganax/Acolyte I was able to play Jeska's Will when Benji had 7 cards in hand. I was able to play 2 dragons that turn: Nesting Dragon and Dragon Broodmother . The very next turn was Benji's and he played Mutilate and it was enough that it killed all of my current dragons including my commander. I was hoping to pl...
