    • Commander with low power brackets, no tutors, no infinite combos, and mostly budget decks.

    • Cube Draft.

    • Playing precons against the computer using Forge. I copy the names of the precons from a block, then play them against each other using a bit of randomization:

    import itertools, random
    
    decks = ["Deck A", "Deck B", "Deck C", ...]
    matchups = list(itertools.combinations(decks, 2))
    random.shuffle(matchups)
    
    for i, (deck1, deck2) in enumerate(matchups, 1):
        print(f"Match {i}: {deck1} vs {deck2}")
    
    • Aside from the usual Theme Decks, some of the most interesting precons are Duel Decks, Pro Tour Collector Sets, Salvat 2005 and 2011, and Commander decks. You can find a full list of precon decks here.
    • Penny Dreadful on MTGO when I want constructed but cheap play.
    • I’ve played a bunch of Draft and Standard on MTG Arena but I didn’t really enjoy it that much. It felt like a chore doing the dailies and just caring about getting the four wins per day.

    My wife and I have been houseman drafting a cube and it’s really fun. We don’t try super hard and just have talking about the cards, or other things. Honestly, it’s faster than some commander games.

    I LOVE draft, so it’s cool to have this option that doesn’t need fresh packs or 8 people.

      Jumpstart in general was a lot of fun… but why they made packs of 20 cards instead of 30 is asinine.
