Haven't put this together physically yet and I'm not entirely satisfied with how it turned out. Showed up to my local EDH league yesterday with a hastily constructed Jhoira deck because it was the easiest option. This time around, I have more advance warning on the points. In addition to the...

My friend who organizes our local EDH league screwed up and I only recently learned that for tomorrow's event, we're incentivized to run two-color decks. GCMLDA probably isn't appropriate for the league, so I threw this together. And all in what was, for me, record time. 1x Abrade 1x Arcane...

So, despite missing a couple of key weeks, I managed to just barely sneak into the Top 8 on achievement points in my local Commander League. I'm tentatively planning to dedicate more of my active deckbuilding efforts to that league, so I'll be tailoring new decks or revisions to existing decks...

This is a brand new decklist I haven't tested at all, but I'm aiming to try it on Sunday... Commander: 1x Abundance 1x Academy Rector 1x Akroan Horse 1x Arbiter of Knollridge 1x Azorius Signet 1x Bant Panorama 1x Bountiful Promenade 1x Brainstorm 1x Breeding Pool 1x Collective Voyage 1x...

Wasn't sure which board to post this on, but I wanted to share a post I came across on The Mana Drain, which I thought was an excellent example of an important point in deckbuilding for any variant of Constructed Magic...

While I was looking for singles in my badly-in-need-of-resorting collection, I found my box that has all all four Planechase precons and all four Planechase 2012 precons. I believe that the planar cards are stacked up with my other oversize cards on a bookshelf. I think Planechase is great fun...

Some of the people at my LGS were involved in early testing for the Brawl format and they tried to rope everyone into it from the start. I built a Jhoira deck for format as soon as Dominaria was released, but I guess I didn't really talk about it much here. Well, I did. And I didn't play it very...

Perhaps this one doesn't strictly fall under the category of "memories." Or perhaps it does? One of the two, probably... No really, I can start off with two important points. I love Nether Void. I think it's one of the coolest cards in the game. I have very little experience actually playing...

https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/competitive-gaming/mythic-championship-ii-format-and-london-test-2019-02-21 Maybe Blake Rasmussen should consult Sam Stoddard about this idea. :rolleyes: https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/latest-developments/mulligans-2015-08-07

Usually when I come up with these threads, I pick a card that is among my favorites, was among my favorites, or one which had some special place in my own decks at some time. But there are a couple that strike me more for their presence across the table. Not many. And most of those are a weird...

Came across this interesting (and quite long) article by Stephen Menendian: http://www.eternalcentral.com/history-of-vintage-schools-of-magic-an-alternative-history-of-the-banned-and-restricted-list/ While I'm not a fan of the article's overall format, it has some great insights and...

I apologize for how long this is bound to run. If it helps, rather than reading the whole thing, I encourage you to just skim it and read the parts that are of interest to you. What I’ve done is taken some notes I compiled on a few different occasions and tried to jam the whole thing together...

https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/january-21-2019-banned-and-restricted-announcement Krark-Clan Ironworks is banned in Modern. Earthcraft has been unnecessarily banned in Legacy for 748 weeks.

Not sure how much it'll matter here, but I should mention that I'm in the process of trying to buy a house. In a bit of a holding pattern right now because I don't know exactly when the appraisal I ordered is scheduled to happen or what its result will be. But this has been why I've slowed down...

I love Dream Halls. I don't know where to start. Well, there's a kind of story... Infamously, back when Stronghold came out, InQuest magazine dismissed Dream Halls as the worst card in the set. They reasoned that it was a liability. You pitch your Llanowar Elves to cast your Verdant Force...

https://www.leafscience.org/valery-novoselov-investigating-jeanne-calments-longevity-record/ I'm not really sure how well-known the background material here is, but it's a subject I've been following for as long as I can remember. When I was a kid, Jeanne Calment was still alive and appeared...

At some point last week, I watched this video. The things is rather long, but it's basically a discussion on things that the speakers believe EDH players should stop doing. Some of them are references to gameplay mistakes that they perceive as being common, and others are general etiquette...

So a group called "Magic of Browns Point"* has organized some local budget Commander events, and today they ran a Two-Headed Giant version. It was decided that each deck couldn't cost more than $150 and deck couldn't include any cards in common with its companion deck. My friend, Eric, and I...

Even though some of them have been fairly short, I've kinda enjoyed the "Memories" threads that were about cards I've mostly explored in recent years, rather than the ones I played with back when I was a kid. Stuff like Evolutionary Leap (a card that is only three years old) and Elephant Guide...
