The Evolution of Magar the Magic Strings: From Ancient Times to Modern Innovations

Once upon a time, in a small village tucked away in the mountains, there lived a young boy named Magar. Magar was known throughout the village for his remarkable musical talent. He could create the most enchanting melodies with just a touch of his fingers on his magic strings. Magar's talent was not like any other ordinary musician. He possessed a unique gift that allowed him to communicate with spirits and nature through his music. Whenever he played his instrument, the sounds that resonated were said to have the power to heal, bring joy, and even change the course of events.

Even with the monstrous Plants I would have, it wasn’t going to be enough to even be a speed bump for Logan on the following turn. After combat, he tightened the screws by casting

It happened the first time I ever played the deck back at SCG CON Indy I think there s just something in the air when we get together under the SCG banner , so it s a definite sign that something epic is always right around the corner. Imagine casting Lightning Bolt to remove a blocker, then turning it into a 3 3, hitting your opponent with it, and getting three free damage to direct wherever you like.

Whenever he played his instrument, the sounds that resonated were said to have the power to heal, bring joy, and even change the course of events. The village often sought Magar's help in times of trouble or despair. His melodies would soothe the restless souls and bring harmony to their lives.

Other People’s Decks: MTGNerdGirl’s Magar Of The Magic Strings

Ready to pull some strings? Sheldon Menery highlights MTGNerdGirl’s Magar of the Magic Strings Commander deck and a series of epic plays.

Sometimes you’re just tooling down the highway of Commander, listening to your favorite soundtrack, thinking about ways you’re going to abuse Thalia and the Gitrog Monster, and something makes you slam on the brakes to take a look.

So it was with the deck MTGNerdGirl brought to the Commander Rules Committee (RC) stream a few weeks back. It was the kind of deck that can only exist in Commander and still be a viable choice to play. It did its thing during our game to the point that I thought it would be compelling to share with you fine people.

When she told me about what she wanted to play, I was initially skeptical. I didn’t look at her decklist, just listened to the rundown of what the deck does. It seemed like it would fit well into our more casual, battlecruiser style of game. It absolutely did. Take a look at the list (which is also over on Moxfield):

Before I offer my take, let’s here what MTGNerdGirl has to say about the deck.

Magar's magic strings had the ability to calm storms, mend broken hearts, and bring prosperity to the village. One day, news of Magar's extraordinary skill reached the ears of the king. Intrigued by the stories he heard, the king sent a messenger to invite Magar to the royal palace to showcase his talent. Magar, shy and humble, accepted the opportunity with gratitude. Arriving at the grand palace, Magar was nervous yet excited. As he entered the palace courtyard, he was greeted by a sea of people eager to witness his magic. The air was filled with anticipation, and everyone held their breath as Magar began to play. Magar's fingers danced gracefully on his strings, weaving a tapestry of melodies that filled the palace with an otherworldly ambiance. The king and his courtiers were entranced, and the music touched their souls in a way they had never experienced before. As Magar played on, he noticed a young princess sitting among the audience. Her eyes sparkled with curiosity, and Magar could sense a deep connection between her and his music. Seeking to explore this connection, he played a hauntingly beautiful melody that spoke directly to her heart. Captivated by the sound, the princess broke free from her seat and started dancing. Her movements were fluid and graceful, as if guided by the unseen forces of the music. The entire palace watched in awe as the princess and Magar created a mesmerizing performance, their music intertwining in perfect harmony. From that day forward, Magar became a beloved figure in the kingdom. The king appointed him as the royal musician, and he continued to use his magic strings to bring joy and peace to the people. Magar never forgot his roots in the tiny village in the mountains. Every now and then, he would return to his hometown and share his melodies with the villagers. His music became a testament to the power of dreams, reminding everyone that magic can be found even in the simplest of places. And so, Magar lived a life dedicated to his passion and his gift. He used his magic strings to inspire, heal, and unite people from all walks of life. His music echoed through the mountains, carrying with it the stories of love, hope, and the magic that lies within each of us..
