Prosperous Partnership works its magic again! Along with Springleaf Drum, I was able to get enough mana to cast Otharri and commence the beatdown. Hexplate Wallbreaker gave me extra combats, which helped Otharri catch up from the late start. An opponent needing to leave abruptly for out-of-game...

So, I already had some plans to improve this deck, but I had been missing some sleep and was too tired at the time. Ended up bringing the deck to Commander night yesterday with no changes. Although I did ultimately lose the game I played with this one, I was much happier with the overall...

Well, a lot of this stuff is from the precon, so I may or may not revisit this deck later. My new Rosie deck is already poaching cards from this one, and I have plans to scrap more of the parts from this one for other decks. Anyway, despite some frustrating experiences, the final game was great...

Another discouraging performance! Over the course of this game, I cast Wheel of Fortune, Time Spiral, and Timetwister, all looking for ways to come out ahead. And while I managed to play lots of creatures, my efforts were easily outpaced, outclassed, and outright thwarted by an unmodified...

Too many mana problems again. I've been holding off on reworking this deck until I pick up a copy of Invasion of Tarkir, because that's going straight in here. Also, my "too many mana problems" was partially self-inflicted. One of my opponents was using the infamous Themberchaud ramp deck, and...

Finally got to see Karn's Bastion do its thing with Otharri. Unfortunately, I did lose my most recent game in the end, but two of my opponents struck me as dangerous targets that I'd need to eliminate before they got the tools to stop me, and I couldn't take both out. Killed one, then died to...

Played this deck again. Pretty much a textbook win here, although I had to spend the first few turns using cantrips to sculpt my hand and find more lands. I was able to hide Chandra's Ignition under Spinerock Knoll early on. Zndrsplt filled my hand, then Whir of Invention for Krark's Thumb...

Only played one game with this so far. The game was frustrating, but the end result was pretty great. One of my opponents was playing one of the new precons: "The Hosts of Mordor." He was able to deploy bigger creatures than the rest of us, so the Atraxa player next to him cast Farewell. I lost...

Rosie may be a peasant, but she has a robot army too, somehow. Commander: 1 Rosie Cotton of South Lane 1 Adeline, Resplendent Cathar 1 Ancient Tomb 1 Animation Module 1 Archangel Elspeth 1 Argivian Find 1 Ashnod's Altar 1 Aura of Silence 1 Basri's Lieutenant 1 Brimaz, King of Oreskos 1 Castle...

The set is not Standard-legal in paper either. It's a Modern-legal set, except for the cards in the "Lords of the Ring Commander" set, which uses a different set symbol, but comes in the same booster packs as the regular set. Those cards are not legal in Modern. You'd think that with "Commander"...

Played this deck twice last night. First game, an opponent blitzed out a Shard of the Void Dragon on an early turn and no one killed it. I quickly lost all of my permanents and was completely shut out of the game. Since I basically didn't get to play at all, I shuffled the deck back up for...

Despite the frustration of my commander getting killed every time I tried to cast it, I was eventually able to assemble a combo with Rings of Brighthearth + Basalt Monolith + Sensei's Divining Top in the same turn that I cast Aetheflux Reservoir. The deck actually felt kind of weak right up...

Getting some echoes of the Gnostro deck again. My opponents left me alive for a long time, and I really just couldn't pull together a powerful board state. I had Crystalline Crawler out with tons of counters, and I was able to get Jeskai Ascendancy to dig for more tools. Eventually, I got both...

I don't think I've said so yet, and I've only ever run the card in two decks so far, but Prosperous Partnership is becoming one of my all-time favorite cards. Despite getting a bit manascrewed, I had enough for this baby, which kept me in the game. My opponents gave me an opening and I used...

So for fetching lands from my library, this deck runs Thawing Glaciers, Harrow, Roiling Regrowth, and Into the North. Usually, finding lands isn't a problem. In my most recent game, what happened was that I had an opening hand with two islands, Faceless Haven, and Dark Depths. I had mostly green...

Lost a miserable game with this deck after being completely color-screwed. I was eventually able to use Ascendant Spirit to draw multiple cards and finally get a Snow-Covered Forest on top of my library, which let me cast Harrow But by the time I had access to the colors of mana needed to play...

Since this deck is 100% unmodified, it doesn't really cost me anything to bring it with me. Well, there's the space it takes up, but that's about it. Still, not sure how long I'll keep going with it. I won my game last night, but it was a slog. My opponents weren't able to kill Sisay, and that...

After getting trampled to death, I switched in this deck so that I could return the favor. The same opponent whose creatures stomped me in my previous game was able to slow me down by a turn with Fire Prophecy on Nissa. But then he went shields down and my lands attacked for the win. Going to...

Lost a frustrating game with this one. Opening hand had two mountains an Jeweled Lotus, so I knew that I'd have my commander online quickly. Then I kept failing to draw more lands, so I fell way behind. Eventually, I was able to disrupt my opponents, but it wasn't enough. If my topdecks had been...

I thought they did one of their "Secret Lair" things for this, but it turns out that I was thinking of last year.
