    Magic Memories: Survival of the Fittest

    FWIW, from what I read the card isn't exactly loved in EDH...

    Banned from Constructed play

    Wow, this is a very fun mental excercise! Thanks for doing this! It's also the first time anyone started a thread based on something I wrote, so yay. One point you make that I think I've never considered is that Legacy has banned cards that were taken from the original Extended format. Like...

    Magic Memories: Survival of the Fittest

    You mean the last part of the first post? I saw a thread linked there where I mentioned the upcoming ban of Survival. EDIT: I just found your thread, it has a reference to the same thread I mentioned in the previous sentence. I'm not one for predetermination ;) I saw this thread, and because...

    Magic Memories: Survival of the Fittest

    I think one of the reasons I picked up my Survivals is because I tried them in null rod zoo. RecSur has a special place in my heart: that deck is so awesome that it has been the main drive to bring my game to a different level. Being entrenched in the Ice Age storyline, I found Mirage to be a...

    Captcha verification error

    IIRC I've had some poor experience with the previous implementation of the captcha... EDIT: tested it, works now

    Captcha verification error

    I tried to recover my password, but I can't complete the captcha verification properly. So either I don't know how to spell <the answer> properly, or someone is expecting an obscure Python reference, but I can't reset my password. A good thing that I'm still logged in on this device so I can...

    Modern Masters 2017

    I'm surprised Damnation is only a rare. Previous Masters sets had poor availability, but there are rumours that Wizards increased the print run (although unfortunately you'll never learn what the print run actually is). With chase mythics like Liliana it's likely Damnation's value will tank.

    Happy (early) Thanksgiving!

    To me, holiday means holiday: "A holiday is a day set aside by custom or by law on which normal activities, especially business or work, are suspended or reduced." Unfortunately this disqualifies Liberation Day as a holiday in my book :'(

    Happy (early) Thanksgiving!

    I had no idea how you got to 9, so I looked on wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_holidays_in_the_United_States http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_holidays_in_the_Netherlands The list is a bit confusing, since some holidays consist of two days (which, as far as I know, is typically...

    Conflux is pretty old stuff by now, by now it might even have trickled down to people who play occasionally. Maybe we should just try it for fun and giggles. I don't even recall what the set is about...

    Gitrog County Municipal Lake Dredge Appraisal [EDH]

    I'm not completely sold on Erebos either (in any of my decks), but I think you don't want to trigger Devotion. Creatures are easier to exile than enchantments, and it's not a stellar creature to begin with. It is recurrable card draw though. I thought of Bonehoard, but you can't recur that...

    Marath card alteration ideas

    Heh. I'm growing on the idea of Poison Ivy, but I'm associating her with Glissa the traitor (because that's one of my other generals). I figured out that Darkseid would fit with Marath's abilities, but he looks pretty lame. And there's the Anti-Monitor. Seems like the ultimate bad guy.

    Gitrog County Municipal Lake Dredge Appraisal [EDH]

    I see. I had to reread what you wrote, because it reads like the same argument I get when I suggest something like Splinterfreight: "but then I put all my good cards in the yard and won't draw them, boohoo". When you're not drawing cards anymore after turn 5 (in your preferred scenario...

    Happy (early) Thanksgiving!

    Only xmas is associated with eating here. I guess that has something to do with our protestant heritage. In the south we have some catholics who celebrate carnival, but that's mainly booze. National holidays and sports don't mix here anyway. And our national holidays are all religious, besides...

    Happy (early) Thanksgiving!

    Happy day of whatever it is we don't have here!

    Poll: How Many Decks Currently Hold a Permanent Spot in Your Arsenal?

    Wizards is claiming they'll bring back leagues for about two years now. At first they were waiting for the new client, and I guess they're waiting for the new client to be playable now. It's true that finding someone for tribal or something is easy, and if you go tribal you're pretty much...

    Marath card alteration ideas

    I was already considering dr. Doom. After you mentioned it I read up on him, but it seems as if he'd fit sooner on a blue/black card. His minions are robots, and that is very far from the elements/elementals Marath is wielding. Other options I have are Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy. At least...

    It was, and yet it wasn't... the Hall of Fame is stickied on top of this subforum, and it links to this thread.

    Gitrog County Municipal Lake Dredge Appraisal [EDH]

    For me, the main reason to run W in EDH is Sun Titan. It's so much fun to recur your utility crap, and it has many good synergies and combo's. It might be the top end of your curve, but considering that it can bring back Saffi... Another game-ending spell I miss in your list is Living Death...
