This is where I park my favorite Magic: The Gathering decks, track pieces of my collection, and nerd out about cardboard. If you’ve ever wondered what kind of nonsense I like to cast in Commander, or you’re just here to peek at Vampires and serpents, you’re in the right place.
I build decks to show off little stories and patterns, not just the most efficient lines. Each deck gets its own page with a summary, power level, key cards, and a link to the full list.
I track the full collection with tools behind the scenes, so this isn’t a literal list of every single card I own. Instead, this space is for favorites, pet cards, and the stuff that actually sees the table.
These are the cards that quietly define how I build: green ramp, flexible interaction, and value pieces that feel like “me.”
I like my collection to feel played, not just stored.
The real “binder” lives in apps and sleeves, but this page gives a sense of what I’m happy to move around:
If you’re a friend looking to trade, this is the energy: I want both decks to walk away better than they started.
Magic is never “finished,” and neither are these decks. This is the big-picture view of where I’d like the Swamp to grow.
These are realistic upgrades and tweaks I’m actively thinking about:
Each deck will eventually have its own mini-wishlist, but this section tracks the overall direction.
Then there are the cards that live rent-free in my brain:
If you ever see something on a future list and think, “Hey, I’ve got that lying around,” we might be able to make a trade.
Commander is a social format, and I care a lot about the experience at the table. This is how I generally like to approach games.
I’m here for games that are memorable, not just “efficient.”
As this site grows, this section might expand into specific norms:
For now, consider this a “table vibe” checklist more than a formal rulebook.
This MTG site is part of the larger Canadian Gator ecosystem—right alongside my VPS projects, Command Library, Gator Bot, and whatever else I decide to build in the Swamp.
Same brain, different hobby. The same way I overthink servers and automation, I also overthink manabases, curve, and whether a deck actually feels fun to pilot.
Welcome to the Swamp of Cards. Stay a while, poke through the decks, and maybe leave with an idea for your own.
