Crow_Umbra

Enchantment - Aura -

One of the co-hosts of the Mages of Magic Podcast, along with my friends JundWolf (who originally got me on Tapped Out years ago) and Cobra_Chaos.

I first started playing MtG in 2013 via janky kitchen-table "Modern" with my college friends. We dove into EDH around 2019 & haven't looked back since.I aim for Brackets 2-4. When it makes sense to, I usually include at least 1 combo wincon to help close grindy games.

& have grown on me the most since I started playing MtG. Generally speaking, I'm a F.I.L.M enthusiast (F**k, I Love Mardu). I tend to refine my IRL decks more than brew new ones.

I've been playing disc golf and building/painting Gunpla more than brewing decks as of late 2025.

Decks currently owned/played in paper:

I won't be as active here as of summer 2026. You can also find me on Moxfield or Archidekt if you're interested. Take care.

Sounds good, thanks! I'll check out Moxfield and see how it feels next to Archidekt, like you said, explore a little bit, see what I like.

Hey there legendofa, wishing you the best on your future migration.

Of the two sites, I've used Moxfield a lot more, & updated decks on Archidekt far more infrequently. Both sites have commenting options for public/unlisted decks. It looks like Archidekt has a forum section that is focused on specific deck help requests. I haven't really checked it out.

Although Moxfield doesn't have a forum aspect to it, I find its UI to be a bit more intuitive & clean compared to Archidekt.

Both sites have various bells & whistles for deck edits & tags, visual sorting, as well as a play testing feature. Archidekt's play-tester has a few more features to it, including a recently rolled out "Interaction simulator".

All in all, I think both sites are worth checking out. I don't find one to be "superior" to the other, I think it boils down to UI preferences for me. I'd recommend trying both out & seeing which you ultimately vibe with more.

I just kind of archived a bunch of decks on Archidekt. I'm not planning on moving there full time yet, but does it have the any kind of forum setup or deck commenting system? Any good tips or tricks for the site? How about Moxfield?

If anything, Rulebreakers should be renamed to Rulebenders.

The Rulebreaker cards are all fairly fun and interesting designs. As an overall group, the Mystery Booster Commamder designs are of my favorites of the year.

Although Rulebreakers live up to their keyword, each of them still has to abide by some limitations. None of their broken rules are game-breaking or over powered. Most of commanders that allow for branching out into additional colors are often limited by:

  • Only being able to use basic lands of other colors, cutting off optimization options like Shocks and other duals/tri-lands.

  • The color branch out is often limited to one or two other spell types.

I think Rulebreaker would be fun to see more of in the right contexts. The ways in which they break the rules are limited in a manner that encourages creativity.
