It's too bad that Time Spiral with its awesome throwback reprints was so long ago. I never see Pandemonium anymore. It is probably my favorite red enchantment of all time, and generally one of the coolest enchantments out there. At four mana and with a rather volatile effect, it is...

The first Magic tournament I ever attended, some time in 1998, was Type 1.5. I didn't know what formats were back then, but I sort of fell into Type 1.5 thereafter, only to later realize that it was a niche format without much of a dedicated playerbase. Card prices and my annoyance as a new...

I used to use Soldevi Digger all the time. It's one of my old favorites, but people always seemed to underestimate it. I suppose it's the whole "bottom of your library" thing. Unless you shuffle your library, for most decks, putting a card on the bottom means that you'll never see it again for...

I used to play a lot of blue/black control, and that will emerge as a common theme in these vignettes. I played other colors too, but I was enamored of the blue/black combination and early on happened to get some pretty good cards for casual decks in those colors. But in this case, it wasn't me...

During some downtime at work, I slogged through some online training. And while I'll still do that, the queue is prodigious and sometimes I want to do something that doesn't make me want to gouge my eyes out. Part of that has been the CPA. Indeed, I am at work right now. Call me Spiderman...

I notice that it's been far too long since I've actually played Magic with people here. Yeah, I'm handing out draws in Eternal Masters pack wars, but that isn't good enough. Someone fight me. I don't care what format. I'll build a deck or use an existing one. I have lots of cards. Might as well...

Well, this doesn't really fall into the category of "casual decks." But whatever. Remember this? I've been into Legacy since it first began. It's sort of been my primary format for the past dozen years. While the extent of my involvement has waxed and waned over time, in the past few years...

Upcoming "fixed storm" card in Kaladesh that might be fun for a casual deck... This costs the same amount of mana as Tendrils of Agony, but to actually kill an opponent with it requires the chain of spells to work in reverse, with Aetherflux Reservoir already on the board before a bunch of...

Usually Spidey starts some thread about like every new set, but he went on vacation and didn't do that. So yeah, here's what we've seen spoiled for Kaladesh. It's looking pretty cool so far...

It's been well over two years since I first built my Commander deck. In that time, I've refined what became Gitrog County Municipal Lake Dredge Appraisal, fine-tuning it into a reasonably effective, fully dredge-based multiplayer toolkit. It hasn't been particularly successful in practice, but I...

I rolled some dice for you guys. Mooseman rolled 8, Melkor rolled 3, and Spiderman rolled 1. Man, you guys roll some low numbers. Anyway, sending out opening hands now... Mooseman: 20 Hand: 7 Library: 23 Battlefield: Graveyard: Exile...

Well, I know I was running the Innistrad Pack Wars game and it went on hiatus. I just got a bunch of Eternal Masters packs (the day before the set officially releases, probably due to an oversight with the store where I ordered them, but I'm not complaining). I thought it would be fun to do...

Retraction Helix rotated out and I hadn't really done much with the Standard deck that I built. I've stayed away from Standard, but this deck I've been seeing mentioned lately has my interest piqued. If I'm going to put together a Standard deck it's got to be a combo deck. Well, Eldrazi...

At long last, I found my notes buried in a box in a garage. So I'm out of excuses and we're all set to resume wacky hijinks in the Warhammer World. Since the party seems to have decided to pursue this quest, I've started a new thread for it. Of course, at the time of this first post, the party...

While recreating my old bounce-based deck has been kind of fun, I'm not thrilled with the results, perhaps because I held back too much. I tested the deck primarily against the first deck I could find at hand, which was the BFZ "Ultimate Sacrifice" event deck. Besides being a mediocre to bad...

This thread is for the administrative stuff in the Warhammer Quest campaign running here. I intend for this to serve as the permanent hub for the campaign, with separate threads for the quests themselves. Hopefully, Spidey or TomB or someone can sticky this thread... This is the first post in...

I've decided to go through my collection and build casual decks of various flavors. I might eventually turn this into a real project with some goal or something, but right now I'm just messing around. Some of the decks that I build will be totally scrubtastic and others will be overpowered...

http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/announcing-eternal-masters-2016-02-15 Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!

This has been overwhelming. So of course I had to snap a picture.

Puny organic heroes, you cannot possibly defeat me! I take no mulligan. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mecha-Oversoul: 40 Hand: 7 Library: Battlefield: Graveyard: Exile: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Rokapoke...
