Yep. I mentioned it in the "Racist cards" thread, but didn't really bother to post about it anywhere else until now. Crusade was flagged as "racist" by WotC in 2020, so it won't be in this product. The ante cards are also being removed for some reason. The other two cards that were in the...

Only played this once so far. Used Diabolic Intent to find Thrumming Stone and Sol Ring to cast it early, then deployed 34 Shadowborn Apostles. Opponents couldn't kill them, so I won on my next turn.

Kept a lousy hand and got stuck in a rut, but the whole table kind of stalled. I used Force of Will to stop the player running Kagha, Shadow Archdruid from comboing off with Necrotic Ooze. Eventually, I set up Shepherd of the Cosmos + Angelic Renewal + Martyr's Cause + Tobias, Doomed Conqueror...

This deck isn't particularly fast or powerful, but it's hilarious. I run obsolete stuff like Pearled Unicorn and Ironroot Treefolk, but I'm seen as a big threat because everything is, to most opponents, unblockable. So I tend to get killed first, but I go out swinging.

Do I just keep posting in this same thread? I don't even know if alleged racism is even supposed to be the issue anymore. Anyway, it would seem that the tacit version of the Naughty List has grown by two more cards. WotC are releasing some kind of horrid cash grab product next year that is like...

I already did Shadowborn Apostles with the original Lady Orca back in May of this year (2022). Now that there's a new Lady Orca out with an ability that has an obvious Shadowborn Apostle synergy, I'm returning to this concept. There's a lot of overlap with the older deck, with the chief...

A minor, but important, correction... I found some archived posts on TheManaDrain referring to the Mask + Dreadnought combo in mid-2002. Illusionary Mask had already been changed in a way that enabled the combo to work essentially as it does now. What changed in October was that it was changed...

In an increasingly consistent high-power environment, this deck has been my only recourse a lot of the time. It keeps winning. It's very good.

Only piloted this one once so far. I nearly won, but kept getting hit by enchantments specifically, and I didn't slot that much enchantment removal into this. The guy who kept disrupting me paid a price for it, though, and we basically stopped each other from winning and handed the game to a...

Should have won my last game with this one. I hit Time Warp and used Mystic Sanctuary to put Temporal Manipulation on top of my library, cast Timetwister after taking an extra turn and setting up another, used Sheoldred to burn my opponents up with further draw spells, and finally used Wheel of...

Sadly, this one really hasn't ever had a chance to do much of anything. My opponents are popping off and I'm still putting a second spore counter on Sporesower Thallid. Like, once I get that third counter, look out! I really don't think that this deck should be that bad, but it sure has had bad...

Yeah, Tobias is never going to be the most popular of the Legends Retold. But I had an idea for this deck and it's an excuse to run Iridescent Drake, so here we are. Basically, my commander is a worse version of Caller of the Claw, but in Azorius colors. I've got plenty of sac outlets and...

The MaskNought combo has generally fallen by the wayside, in part due to power creep. But in its heyday, Illusionary Mask was an infamously powerful card that shifted the balance of power in multiple formats. MaskNought decks ran rampant in Vintage and warped the old Type 1.5 environment enough...

I wanted to build a deck themed around spore counters. There aren't that many cards that use spore counters, but they do have a commander. Because this was bound to be a black/green deck and I lack imagination, I also went with a Loam package. Still, I think this one could be fun and it is my...

-1 Acquisitions Expert +1 Tajuru Paragon I finally picked up a copy of Tajuru Paragon, the last card that was supposed to be in this deck from the beginning, but which I couldn't find. Had to cut something else. Despite thematic appropriateness, Acquisitions Expert just isn't very good here. So...

For a deck that actually runs things like Craw Wurm and Ironroot Treefolk, this deck holds up reasonably well. The new Jasmine Boreal's abilities turn mediocre creatures into real threats. I could easily have tuned this list better, but the chance to run so many old school vanilla creatures was...

I won an unlikely game with this deck and it was glorious. I was up against two stronger decks (one helmed by the new Jodah and one helmed by Arahbo) and a Unicorn-themed deck (helmed by Emiel the Blessed). The two of us with weaker decks stalled out (I was colorscrewed). The Jodah deck kept...

Played this one some more. Waffling on whether to keep it around longer. The deck performs nicely and does the sort of thing I had been wanting to do. Won my last game despite being manascrewed and getting my Carpet of Flowers blown up by targeted removal because I was able to use Viscera Seer...
