Tried this deck again for the first time in a while. Incidentally, Nicky was going to borrow it a week or so ago, but changed plans and never actually played it. Anyway, I ran into the same problem, which is that some players become really hostile against this deck due to massively...

I got a decent performance out of this deck, but a seemingly inexperienced and clueless player running a rather high-powered deck helmed by Ashling, Flame Dancer stormed off with both Grapeshot and Ignite Memories, as well as using Repercussion to hit me through my creatures. I had to guide him...

Took this deck into a five-player game using the Star variant. My two opponents didn't play creatures at first and I didn't have much going on. My deck faltered, and eventually one of my opponents started estalishing a dominant position. One of my allies got bored and really wanted to concede...

Played this deck in a five-person pod on Wednesday. Had a good start, but got stuck with mostly just mana dorks. I had to use Tradewind Rider to keep myself alive against Alexios, Deimos of Kosmos. My board full of mana dorks and servos was starting to get outscaled, though. Just when I thought...

Played this deck and got easily picked off by a player who was flooding the table with gigantic creatures. I couldn't do anything about it. Pretty sure he won shortly after killing me anyway. I guess that's the sort of performance I should have been anticipating from this pile anyway.

Well, I played this in a five-person pod on Wednesday and goldfished it a bit this morning. I'm not going so far as to just dismiss this as a failed experiment, but I'm a bit lost as to where I go from here. The deck doesn't have that much board presence until it starts comboing off. And once it...

I've been wanting to concoct a ProsBloom deck in EDH for a long time. Unfortunately, the best commander for this is Zaxara, which is a bit too "exemplary" for my purposes. But Glarb seemed like a decent candidate. Well, I threw this list together way after I should have gone to bed. I don't...

Despite playing a very long game with this deck, I only ever saw one of the new cards. Perch Protection saved my creatures from an early Blasphemous Act. As the game went on, I had to use Phelddagrif a lot just because I didn't have much else going on. All three of my opponents posed huge...

Took this deck into a game last night and it did alright. Twilight Drover put in work. I topdecked both Workhorse and Crystalline Crawler, when what a I really needed was something besides just more mana. The board got to a kind of stalemate, which bought one player the time he needed to...

Bloomburrow update! -1 Archangel Elspeth -1 Hall of Tagsin +1 Warren Warleader +1 Fountainport

I hadn't updated this deck all year. The advent of Bloomburrow seemed like a good time for that. -1 Dakra Mystic -1 Kwain, Itinerant Meddler -1 Peacekeeper -1 Wall of Shards -1 Norn's Decree -1 Spectral Searchlight +1 Ms. Bumbleflower +1 Sokrates, Athenian Teacher +1 Tempt with Bunnies +1...

Brought this deck to the final game last night. Some of my key permanents were hit by removal spells that would have been better used against the player with the Dogmeat, Ever Loyal deck. None of us could deal with his Rogue's Passage, so once multiple instance of hexproof were on his commander...

Someone wanted to do the Planechase variant with the shared Planar Deck. I brought this deck out. Mostly drew a lot of lands, but the rolling the planar die got me some tokens that discouraged attacks against me. Following a board wipe by another player, I cast Enduring Ideal and immediately...

The weird trend of this deck being in quasi-unfinished games a lot gets a new entry. I was in a rough spot for a while, but Winds of Rath leveled the playing field somewhat. Casting of Bones was putting in work, and I brought it back from my graveyard multiple times, digging up some useful tools...

Played this deck last night. Got a strong start with first turn Sol Ring into Ruby Medallion. Had to recover from a board wipe, but pulled it off a couple turns later. I had everything set up to execute an infinite loop on my next turn, using Zirilan of the Claw to fetch Zodiac Dragon while also...

That's twice now. This deck won a game that it had no business winning. Well, the player with the strongest deck at the table had really bad luck and was stuck holding my Akroan Horse. Meanwhile, a player with a deck themed around Radiant (the archangel) was sacrificing tokens a lot, which fed...

Tried this deck again last night. Again, I was mostly just overpowered. Actually, one person pretty much dominated the whole table. Frustratingly, I drew some removal and disruption that could have gone against the dominant player, just because of suspicion regarding my commander's ability. It's...

Played this deck for the last game at the most recent Wednesday Commander Night. It was holding its own, but the store was closing and no winner was in sight. In fact, the game was well-balanced and shaping up to be a good one. Too bad we got such a late start on it! At the time we had to start...

This deck keeps racking up wins. And Goblin Sharpshooter continues to fascinate me with its quirks! I missed an opportunity to save myself a bunch of damage because I kinda got shouted down by the rest of the table due to a bit of rules confusion. One of my opponents was plyaing Prossh...
