Magic Variant of the week.
One of mine. Red Hot Seizoned Fish. A red agro shared library with lots of activated abilities. But watch out for Split Second on Word of Seizing, because you can’t activate in response. Inspired by Miguel Grados’ Hot Sushi.

Magic Variant of the week.
This week it’s Miguel Grados’ Game of Thrones. A white control mirror where dragons and their undead corpses duel for supremacy in the skies. It plays with the Eternalize mechanic and the exile zone.

JundJund! By Travis Norman. I haven’t played it but I’ve heard its name a bunch. The Janklord guys dropped this video a few months ago and my headshot appears in the video because I’m going to be guesting on one of their shows.

This one predates my 2016 release of Dandan maybe but not its ‘96 creation.
The Basic Land Game. Can’t find who originally created it, but it’s fast and fun. We use it as a warm-up game. Here is Skura’s primer. https://t.co/EdMMIBcxLm

I was ill prepared so here’s another one of mine.
Trippin’! One of the three I dropped in 2016 when I dropped Dandan. Not my style of play and I’m bad at it. But some like it. I’ve signed one Pyknite for someone.

Dandan has inspired other great mini games. Here’s another.
Will Klein’s “Beyond Dandan.” A highly curated shared library designed an engineer. Not “Dandan” focused but on sharing a library. Every card included very thought out.

Dandan has inspired other great mini games.
Derek Neumann’s Savage Scallywags. A black shared library game based around Wanted Scoundrels where killing them replenishes the mana spent on them so it’s always an uphill battle.

Dandan has inspired a lot of great mini games. Here’s another.
It’s Miguel Grados’ Hot Sushi. A red/artifact board control game with a Lantern Control sub-theme, based around Red Herring, another two mana fish. It’s Sushi time.

They won’t all be mine. Dandan has inspired a lot of great mini games.
This week it’s my Dandanless Dandan deck. No life. Just the cards in the library. It’s more fun and interesting than think. Plays faster than Dandan.

@BradenMTG Really cool! Have you gotten many plays in? I’d love to try it. In reading the list the one card I thought of was Harrow to sac a land targeted for destruction and grab two, but maybe too good? Crop Rotation? Without playing it it is hard to see how cards would play.
My Google Doc for RPS now contains printable proxies. Now you can print the whole thing and sleeve up proxies to try it tomorrow. After FF/Dandan it is my oldest and most fun variant. Give it a try! I'll update the proxies as I make changes to the deck. https://t.co/oCr0LAxpLw
I’ve signed quite a few Dandans for players and given away many too. I’m all out now, again. Today I signed my first Secret Lair Dandan, and one of the same player’s Memory Lapse. The gold paint marker looked great.
@phillikesfights@SadPoor I still love Vision Charm in Dandan. Love playing around it and checking the exile and GY for them before I commit an extra Dandan. I would never build a control deck without a board wipe. It is one mana and instant speed but its other utility in a decking end game is worth it.
