    Sacrificial Baby [EDH]

    New card came out that totally belongs in this deck. So I made a swap. -1 Persist +1 Return Triumphant The change isn't going to matter. I played a game with this deck and got horrifically manascrewed. While that was just bad luck and not a mark against the deck, it just so happens to be the...

    Adventure Awaits [EDH]

    This deck isn't supposed to be especially strong, but I had a lousy start. Kept what looked like a decent opening hand and found myself pitted against Leyline of the Void. Should have just gone with my usual policy that if it's casual EDH and someone throws down an opening Leyline of the Void, I...

    Adventure Awaits [EDH]

    I was so drawn to the silly idea of an Adventure deck that I once built such a deck helmed by Kasimir the Lone Wolf. And I've been biding my time since then. At long last, here we are. Commander: 1 Beluna Grandsquall 1 Amethyst Dragon 1 Aquatic Alchemist 1 Arid Mesa 1 Beanstalk Giant 1...

    Sacrificial Baby [EDH]

    Played this deck last night. Yet again, I really like the deck. And yet again, I'm running into the problem that the deck just kind of defaults to winning by going infinite. After hiding behind Keiga as a threat to steal potential attackers, I was able to disrupt my opponents, pit them against...

    Secret Lair: Angels: They're Just Like Us but Cooler and with Wings [EDH]

    Played this deck last night. After initially falling behind, I was able to drag my opponents down with me with Austere Command. From there, I worked to build up a board of angels. Giada is broken. After one of my opponents cast Windfall, I was able to use my commander to get Emeria Shepherd out...

    Secret Lair: Angels: They're Just Like Us but Cooler and with Wings [EDH]

    For the second time in 2023, I find myself bringing an unmodified precon to local EDH games. The five-color goodstuff deck was starting to feel repetitive. So I'm swapping it out for this concoction. And hey, perhaps I'll make some of my own revisions to this one after testing it out. I know I...

    Spirit of the Pestilence [EDH]

    I was too lazy to build a new deck, and this one came back out from the bottom of my bag for my final game last night. It was a good game with some careful positioning and plays all around. For most of the game's length, everything revolved around an indestructible land that had been targeted...

    Manifest Destiny [EDH]

    Played this deck again. I won with, of all things, regular old beatdown from my growing commander. I cast Omarthis on my second turn, and no one killed my commander the whole time. Sword of Truth and Justice put in work. By the end of the game, Omarthis had a dozen +1/+1 counters.

    Red Turban Rebellion [EDH]

    Played this deck again last night. Wiped out all three of my opponents with glorious rebel combat damage. They all built up board states that could potentially threaten me, but a couple of key draws ensured my victory. Reconnaissance let me go all-in on attacks while maintaining defense. An...

    Giant Lady [EDH]

    Oops. I keep bringing this deck to tables where it's badly outclassed. Still, Raging River is fun. Also, I've taken to calling every Giant that I cast "the best giant in this deck."

    Manifest Destiny [EDH]

    Second game with this deck was a long one. All four players at the table built up some kind of board state and navigating that became a challenge, although I felt like my deck was always the one presenting the strongest threats. Things became precarious for me at a couple of points. I thought...

    Manifest Destiny [EDH]

    Played this deck twice last night. First game I took a big hit thanks to Dictate of the Twin Gods, and couldn't effectively rein in all of my opponents, although I could probably have dealt with any one of them. Through bad luck, poor sequencing on my part, and one opponent's deck working well...

    Sacrificial Baby [EDH]

    Won a quick game with Phyrexian Altar + Gift of Immortality + Iridescent Drake to make infinite mana and set up Buried Alive into Karmic Guide for a Reveillark loop.

    Ninety-Four Percent Lands [EDH]

    I got the weirdest hand I've seen this deck ever get. Opening hand had City of Traitors and Thicket Elemental, so it seemed keepable. Then I topdecked Cultivator Colossus. It was literally turn three Nissa, turn four unkicked Thicket Elemental, turn five Cultivator Colossus. So this created the...

    Giant Lady [EDH]

    Kept a one-land hand and had a slow start. Just when I thought I was stabilizing, I was dispatched by triggers from Ayara, First of Locthwain when one of my opponents had a Shadowborn Apostle + Thrumming Stone engine go off. Killed two of us, but the Firesong and Sunspeaker player had enough...

    Manifest Destiny [EDH]

    My Omarthis deck was originally named "Unbound and Down" as a play on the name of the precon (Eldrazi Unbound) and the song "East Bound and Down." I took it apart. About six months later, I used many of the same cards to build a similar Omarthis deck, one that used fewer elements from the precon...

    Translation: Storm used to be scary twenty years ago, then we kept printing a bunch of broken stuff that let's creature-based tempo decks beat up combo players and take their lunch money. We find this funny, so we're going to keep doing it. Seeing that we don't really make new tools for storm...

    August 7, 2023 B&R Announcement

    This is probably the first time all year that I've been excited for anything Legacy-related. And that's kind of sad. Well, it's been far too long and there are far too many other cards that are equally overdue for unbanning. I could rant all day about that, but I want to focus on the positive...

    I realize that the Modern crowd are mostly younger than I am, but I thought that they should at least be able to shuffle 80 cards! :P
