Magic the Gathering tip: build magic decks for your friends who don’t play magic just in case

Ngl I am unironically considering gifting a nerdy relative of mine a budget EDH deck for Christmas so I have someone else to play with that I know

Honestly I'm not one to really complain about UB (I have the Fallout Mothman precon and I'm ok with using UB cards if the deck calls for them or is good, but then again I'm a new player so wtf do I know) but this is a side I never truly considered. I still think it's a good idea to rule 0 with your Commander play group in terms of whether or not that UB should be allowed but with formats like Standard you won't have that luxury. I'd say WOTC had good intentions, wanting newer players to feel comfortable jumping into the game with IPs they're familiar with and being able to play with people already invested in the game, however the execution here is controversial for a reason and is part of the reason why there was skepticism about WOTC acquiring Commander to begin with. I'm sorry for my earlier ramblings as I didn't fully grasp what this meant to older players and people who are more invested than I currently am in the worldbuilding and lore. I still think the reaction to some stuff is a bit much (like for example anyone mad at the SpongeBob Secret Lair, why?) but on the other hand it's reasonable to want to be able to play without having to deal with UB stuff

That IASIP reference 😭

OOH, good one!

Hey, I need some advice on an upcoming piece involving one of my ocs. I want to draw my oc as an alter for a Magic the Gathering card and was considering drawing them opening their third eye to align with the more fantastical elements of the game. However, upon further research the third eye also has a spiritual element, and I wouldn't want to step on any toes in regards to that. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions?
