    Statistics for my 2020 EDH decks [Article]

    Needs Mor Beatdown Commander: Palladia-Mors (20 decks) I’m starting to notice that a lot of the Chronicles commander options have multiple budget decks so extreme that they’re down in the double digits. 6 out of the 20 Palladia-Mors decks are below $100. I’m assuming that there’s some prolific...

    Statistics for my 2020 EDH decks [Article]

    So I did a thing, but it's kinda the same topic as this article was, so I'll post in the same thread instead of starting a new one... This is a silly idea, but I thought it might be fun. I noticed that the website EDHrec wasn’t drawing on any of my decks for its data collection. So I fixed...

    Warhammer Quest: The Sylvan Epic

    ChannelFireball's Top 100 Magic Cards of All Time

    Well, turns out that while I was eating dinner last night and sorting/boxing my Strixhaven cards, I watched this entire series. I'll say that the commentary from the pros did temper some of my misgivings about the wonkiness here. They might have been even harder on the placement of basic lands...

    ChannelFireball's Top 100 Magic Cards of All Time

    Haven't watched the videos yet, but I think I get the gist of them from your post. Yeah, with 100 slots, people could quibble over placements all day and not get anywhere. So there might be cards I'd personally rank higher or lower, but that would be true for any list like this. Even if I ranked...

    May 19, 2021 B&R Announcement

    Yeah, Thassa's Oracle has caused Doomsday decks to shoot back up to tier 1 in Vintage again, and it's quite the bomb in Legacy too. It rules the cEDH tables. I think it sees a fair bit of Modern play as well. The card is nuts.

    Magic Memories: Oath of Druids

    Once Tyrant Oath was established, most of the existing options for Vintage Oath decks were superceded or modified. Around 2011, that started to shift. I've been wondering how to describe developments in the intervening period. There were some notable creature payloads for Oath, but the most...

    Breaking Skullclamp in Legacy

    Those are some interesting results. No single aspect you mentioned is a huge surprise, but it's nice to see something a bit more concrete than just theorizing. The two points of comparison that immediately spring to my mind would be a Kobold-Clamp deck (probably using Tangleroot) and some kind...

    Pioneer Format - Thoughts and Insights?

    Pioneer has other advantages. WotC can release products like Modern Horizons, adding cards to Modern without worrying about balancing those cards for Pioneer or for Standard, and they can do stuff like Time Spiral Remastered without affecting Pioneer. Pioneer also started with the Khans of...

    Pioneer Format - Thoughts and Insights?

    So, Pioneer. Where to begin? I don't know what the future holds for the Pioneer format, but even to start explaining my speculation on that, I need to go through the place of the format in Magic's history. This touches on some topics I thought might make for good article material, but didn't...

    Pioneer Format - Thoughts and Insights?

    Welcome back. So, what happened with the site was that last year, an inactive Admin account was hacked, and in order to save the site, Ed had to restore it from a backed-up version. Unfortunately, this had the side effect of purging all private messages in our archives, the Rules Question Board...

    Banned from Constructed play

    Regarding Goblin Recruiter, I'll say that while I don't entirely agree that it should remain banned, your points have swayed me somewhat. For so many years, it formed a kind of triad with Earthcraft and Mind Twist. Those three were so definitively safe as unbans that it was patently obvious to...

    Banned from Constructed play

    I certainly didn't expect to see activity on this thread again unless it was because I got bored and found it again myself. Hello, and welcome to the forum. I didn't really expect my weird thought experiment to age particularly well, and in some ways it probably hasn't. But your updated...

    Magic Memories: Oath of Druids

    I had suspected that I'd mentioned Brian Kelly in this thread, but it turns out that, until now, I had not. I was misremembering, and had only referred to him in the Sun Titan thread. For a long time, I'm not really sure quite how long, Brian Kelly has been the premier Oath deckbuilder in...
