I kept a stupid opening hand with this deck: one with Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth as my only land. Slow start, but I did find some islands eventually. Took a beating from a cool Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief deck. So did the rest of the table. I had Transmute Artifact in my opening hand, so once I...

I have been slacking. Not only have I not tested and updated this list, I haven't even typed it up yet. I'll correct that before next week. But at least I finally got to see the deck actually do something. As happened in one of my games last week, I kept an opening hand partially on the basis...

After a drought, this deck pulled off a dominant performance. I kept a very inadvisable opening hand, but it had Arcbound Crusher. It turns out that Arcbound Crusher is even better alongside Omarthis than I'd imagined it would be. None of my opponents could kill Omarthis, and I didn't find a sac...

I reassembled and updated this deck on Tuesday night. Haven't transcribed the new decklist yet, but I'll do that soon. It's a bit different, but still quite familiar. Rereading my posts here, I guess that I'd forgotten how poorly the 2022 version of the deck fared, at least initially. Ironic...

Player A killed Player B and was poised to wipe out both Player C and myself once he untapped. Player C took Player A down to 2 life, then asked if I could deal 2 damage. I topdecked Ember Hauler. I knew beyond any doubt that if I picked off Player A, then Player C would easily kill me. But how...

Got kind of stuck with this deck and accidentally durdled myself into an awkward spot. If I had cast Palinchron before activating my Memory Jar, I could have won on the spot by using Transmute Artifact on Thran Dynamo to grab Grim Monolith, casting Power Artifact on Grim Monolith for infinite...

This deck continues to fare poorly. I am tentatively planning on dismantling it and building a new version of my Rosie Cotton deck. Might also build another Omarthis deck in the future. I have kind of fallen for this commander. Note to self: do not run Calamity of the Titans. You never cast it.

Got stuck with this deck, but Bitterblossom gave me enough chump blockers that I wasn't an appealing target, especially with everything else going on in the game. Once I topdecked Phyrexian Altar, I could use Savra to bully the table a bit and get rid of most creatures. That bought more time, as...

-1 Journey of Discovery -1 Crystal Vein +1 Entomb +1 Phyrexian Tower

Divine Intervention strikes again! Played this deck for my final game of last night. Wedding Ring kept Solitary Confinement going and bought me the time I needed to set up Enduring Ideal. The store was closing, so the game would have ended in a draw anyway, but I got there the right and proper way.

Master of Cruelties lives up to its name. Although I just added it to the deck, the card put in work. I managed to sneak in a kill on one opponent by hitting him with Master of Cruelties and then Flinging it at him. He was the dominant threat in the game and would likely have won on his next...

Another fun game with this deck. The game ran pretty long and saw a lot of interaction between all four players. There were moments when it seemed like any of us might win. Ultimately, I did eventually draw both Earthcraft and Squirrel Nest again, but that actually wasn't enough to win the game...

-1 Sentinel -1 Swamp +1 Master of Cruelties +1 Scalding Tarn

Still not taking this one apart just yet, so I'll swap in some recent purchases. -1 Deepfathom Echo -1 Burgeoning +1 Helix Pinnacle +1 Temporal Distortion

Can't seem to catch a break with this deck now. Lost twice, and both games saw my deck struggle a lot.

Had a fun game with this one. One of my opponents was running a Cirdan the Shipwright deck, and the extra card draw randomly drew me into both Earthcraft and Squirrel Nest, so I just kind of suddenly won on the spot with infinite squirrels.

Had a bit of a hectic game tonight with this deck. I was manascrewed early on, but eventually managed to kind of kingmake things. Would have been a close game if I had not fallen so far behind so quickly.

Should probably have lost my last game with this one. My last opponent had a Viridian Revel, so she decided to let me take her treasure tokens when I attacked her with Hellkite Tyrant. I think she just wanted to see how it would shake out. I already had Flameshadow Conjuring, and was able to...

Coat of Arms almost came through for me in my most recent game with this deck, but couldn't quite get there. Hushbringer wrecked me. Couldn't kill it in time to save myself.

Hahaha. Second turn kill. I had Gemstone Caverns in my opening hand, so I was able to drop Ancient Tomb into Nissa right away. Opponent cast Eladamri's Vineyard, let me hardcast Cultivator Colossus. Hilarious.
