Yes, another of my decks helmed by The Gitrog Monster. But there's a reason for this. My longstanding Gitrog deck, GCMLDA, had some cards poached from it in 2020 to use in other decks, and I never updated it while I was updating my other decks. I had plans to get around to that, but then...

My sixth grade teacher kept a small library of books in the classroom, and during that school year I read all of the fantasy-themed stuff she made available. Some of the books on her shelf were unlike anything available in the official school library. If was through my classroom bookshelves that...

The first Standard set next year is scheduled to be Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty. What little we know about this set raises some interesting issues, but I don't think those are worth talking about just yet, since we'll eventually learn more anyway. But the set did come up in discussion, and when my...

Hey, it’s time for a report on Innistrad: Midnight Hunt. We just got Dungeons & Dragons: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms and by the time this report is published, we’ll all be up to our necks in Innistrad: Crimson Vow. Soon, we’ll be getting a new Magic set with a colon in its name every...

I built a bad Giant Tribal deck with Bartel Runeaxe as commander. I was going to run Giant Harbinger and Surtland Flinger, but it turned out I didn't own any copies, so I threw Cosmic Horror and Sneak Attack in as last-minute swaps. Commander: 1x Bartel Runeaxe 1x All Hallow's Eve 1x Anger 1x...

Put an Enchantress deck together last night and played it tonight. Needs work... Commander: 1x Sythis, Harvest's Hand 1x Abundance 1x Academy Rector 1x Argothian Enchantress 1x Aura of Silence 1x Auratog 1x Brilliant Halo 1x Burgeoning 1x Crop Rotation 1x Darksteel Mutation 1x Destiny Spinner...

Woe betide the opponents of Compositional Theoretician aka Psarketos aka Dan. The Commander Rules Committee have just unbanned Worldfire. Also, Golos is banned now. https://mtgcommander.net/index.php/2021/09/13/september-2021-quarterly-update/

Here's the deck I ran yesterday... Commander: 1x Hazezon Tamar 1x Abundance 1x Anger 1x Arid Mesa 1x Ashnod's Altar 1x Beast Within 1x Crop Rotation 1x Crucible of Worlds 1x Cultivate 1x Divine Visitation 1x Dryad of the Ilysian Grove 1x Earthcraft 1x Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite 1x Elvish...

Not sure if this will be of interest or not, but I thought it went beyond the scope of the thread for my deck itself, and the issue made enough of an impression on me to want to ask about it here. Before the pandemic, the main venue where I was playing Magic was an LGS just down the highway...

There are plenty of concepts for long-form content that I could reasonably choose from to write about, Comboist Manifesto style. Since I’m not a reasonable man, I’m choosing something stupid instead. Feel free to suggest better topics, so that I might ignore your cogent suggestions and do a deep...

Hey there, I want to try something a little different. So there might not be some exhaustive report on all the different creature types in the new Magic set. At least, not yet. If that's all you're looking for, then check this space again later. A report will be forthcoming. But things worked...

I'll try to post a link later, but their website keeps going down because it is bad. -Hullbreacher is banned. Yeah, that's fair.

This is one of the new cards spoiled for Adventures in the Forgotten Realms. Acererak, the Archlich 2B Legendary Creature — Zombie Wizard When ~ enters the battlefield, if you have not completed Tomb of Annihilation, return ~ to its owner’s hand and venture into the dungeon. Whenever ~ attacks...

Before the cards in Modern Horizons 2 were revealed, there was a looming question. The first Modern Horizons was the first experiment at releasing cards directly into the Modern format, circumventing Standard power level concerns. And in hindsight, we now know that the first set in this series...

The release date for Modern Horizons 2 is fast approaching. I should be able to get my Tribal Update Report ready by then. If you haven't noticed, the set is pretty crazy. Amidst all the craziness, one thing I noticed was that EDH players who are also Enchantress enthusiasts finally got the...

As I begin this report, I’ve just closed a binder, having added in the final card I needed to complete my collection of Arabian Nights. I didn’t think I was to go for it, but I did it. I collected a full set of all 92 cards (including the print variants). It’s been exhausting in some ways, but...

A few of these Memories threads have focused on cards I primarily remember playing against, rather than playing in my own decks. While writing posts in the Sun Titan thread, it dawned on me that Oath of Druids just might be the most prominent and interesting of these cards. I mean... To this...

I've been playing Magic for almost 24 years. In that time, I've seen some of my friends quit the game and I've seen a few of them come back. Some people quit the game and return to the game multiple times. In all that time, I've never formally quit the game myself, nor have I gotten rid of my...
