Should have said just regular Ur-Dragon for the new Elder Dragons. Neo, if you want to get into Magic (particularly Commander), I'd recommend getting the Commander 2017 Dragon deck (Dragon Domination), especially if you can find it for MSRP ($35, but it's selling online for nearly $100). It's a really good precon deck (one of the best ones) and it's two main Commanders (Ur-Dragon and Scion of the Ur-Dragon) are all five colors so you can splash in any card that you want into it. Plus, well, free dragons. But I think my Walmart still has those Commander decks cause I was thinking of picking up the Dragon one or Rainbow one... Maybe they're different ones. Mahic is fun, but I'd probably be more enthusiastic about it if half of my magic cards weren't at my Ex-Best Friend's house. Imean, I'm glad I still have my Ninjas and Hours of Devastation Fat Box, but my Eldrazi decks and Iaxalan Box would be nice too...

There's lots of different precons.
Not a lot have the Commander 2017 ones but if it is (it should be called Draconic Domination) pick it up. It's selling online for three times MSRP so copies "in the wild" are pretty rare.

Or.
Wait for C18.
Also if we could figure out how to play commander online, would you guys be up to it?

Hm, sure. I've never played commander before though, only regular magic. But I can figure it out for sure.
I'll check it out tomorrow or sometime then.

Could just be fun to play decks. The two clients I know are Untap.in and Cockatrice. The former is in-browser and the latter is an installed app. Never got the chance to play them with anyone though so idk how that will go.

If we can do so without spending even more money on MTGO, then sure.
Also we don't know if Commander 2018 will have Dragons or what themes they'll have at all (my guess is new Planeswalker Commanders or possibly Flip Commanders.
As for standard sets, do you think we'll see Theros again soon? That Satyr Enchanter has me thinking that Bolas will try to overlay Ravnica with Theros (Core 2019 focuses on Bolas a lot, there aren't any satyrs on Ravnica to my knowledge, and the satyr has Bolas horns with a glowing orb in the middle). The guilds and gods interacting with each other seems like too interesting of an opportunity for Wizards to not go for.

Some new decent commanders for Core 2019 have just been spoiled.
Also a modal Wrath spell and an enchantment that lets you cast all spells from your hand for free.

Core 2019 just has cards from everywhere. It's meant to be an "introduction" set flavored with many planes, with a story based on some aspect of the larger multiverse, or in this case am overarching villain.
Theros has an unresolved story of its own, since Elspeth is only mostly dead, Heliod is still in power, and they have an opening for an RG god if Xenagos is actually gone. So yeah, Theros is the Number 1 "return" set right after Ravnica.
They're doing a Bolas focus for the story of core set because they want to give him a backstory befote they presumably end his current arc in the Ravnica sets. It's like how Half-Blood Prince went into Voldemort's backstory.

Maybe we'll find out why he's a bastard coated bastard with bastard filling.

Birb. Trash Bunny supervillain. Go see it. One scene and no plot relevance does not a supervillain make. But it was epic, regardless. Right. A note for anyone going to see it, in case your local theater doesn't have a posted warning. There's a scene with flashing lights that would be bad for anyone at risk for seizures. It's hard to take for everyone, but could be dangerous for some. Something to bear in mind. But it has been treated with a great deal of thought by the animators, which helps. I can PM with minimal out of context spoilers as to when the scene occurs if someone needs it.

So that explains why there's a raccoon in the promo posters and bundled with that Jack-Jack toy.

I think I’ll stop at 120mil in FGO. It depends on how much I want those summoning tickets for the eventual summer banner. After this event it’s Camelot. Then the summer banner. I started Doki Doki Literature Club last night after some writing.
There is something wrong with Monica; her poems are...abnormal.

I just remembered I have a foil Gwafa Hazid in the new legendary card frame (Battlebond reprint) so maybe I'll build a Commander deck around him.

Also here's a bit of speculation for you. The C17 decks were Cats, Vampires, Wizards, and Dragons. In the past year, we had Ahmon-cats, Ixalan vampires, Dominaria wizards, and now Core 2019 is Dragon themed. Since the next year is basically going to be entirely Ravnica, I'm betting that C18 will be mainly dual-color, making use of guild mechanics, on top of the planeswalker theme.

Apparently, Noire's artist is the genius behind the Awakening armor designs, and now everything makes sense.
