    Magic Memories: Sun Titan

    Did you know that there are some formats where you can actually just cast a six-drop creature instead of cheating it onto the battlefield? Sun Titan has been a fixture of Modern for a long time, and has appeared in a wider variety of decks than the three or so variants historically prevalent in...

    Magic Memories: Sun Titan

    Sun Titan has been employed as a niche card in Vintage, and I think Sun Titan might actually have been the first of the M11 titans to make its way into Vintage decks. Vintage Dredge As with Legacy, Sun Titan showed up in Dredge lists. These seem to have been the earliest showings for an M11...

    Magic Memories: Sun Titan

    I tend not to think of Sun Titan as a tournament card, which is totally unfair of me. It's not as high-profile and enduring in Legacy as Primeval Titan or Grave Titan, but Sun Titan has seen its fair share of tournament play. Its versatility probably has it edging out Inferno Titan in that area...

    Magic Memories: Sun Titan

    I've used Sun Titan in a whole bunch of EDH decks, and most of those didn't use it in any kind of infinite loop. But it is worth noting that Sun Titan enables many infinite loops. The general formula here is to have a sac outlet, Sun Titan, and some card that let Sun Titan enter the battlefield...

    Magic Memories: Sun Titan

    Yep. Sengir Autocrat is an old favorite of mine. I did one of these threads for it back in 2018: http://www.casualplayers.org/forums/threads/magic-memories-sengir-autocrat.17300/ Sengir Autocrat is cheaper than Grave Titan and is still better at stuff like enabling Hecatomb, which was one thing...

    Magic Memories: Sun Titan

    I've said that I think that Inferno Titan is the second-weakest of the five M11 titans. I have some misgivings about that. I want to return to the topic of Sun Titan soon, but it's worth exploring this a bit further because the unusual trigger system of the titans has some gameplay implications...

    Magic Memories: Sun Titan

    Inferno Titan I have a soft spot for Inferno Titan because I've wound up playing it in precons and Limited formats and stuff. I do think that ultimately, Inferno Titan is the second-weakest card in the cycle of titans, but that's not much of a mark against it. For my own decks, I've kind of...

    Magic Memories: Sun Titan

    Now that we've got the weakest titan out of the way, let's get the strongest one out of the way. And I'm not ashamed to admit that it isn't Sun Titan. While Sun Titan is one of the strongest and is the most fun and flexible, certainly earning its place as my favorite of this cycle, there's one...

    Magic Memories: Sun Titan

    I'll get into why Sun Titan is my favorite out of this five-card cycle. But let's go over the cycle itself... Frost Titan When WotC does a cycle of cards across multiple colors, it's not usually the case that the blue card is the worst one. That's certainly the case here. Even so, Frost Titan...

    There's a lot in this announcement and a lot that could be said here. But I find myself at a loss for how to even approach this one. In what may or may not be a sensible order, here are my reactions... I asked a friend who used to run tournaments, "Where are they even getting the data to make...

    Magic Memories: Sun Titan

    I hate trying to talk about specific core sets from after Tenth Edition in these threads because WotC made the naming conventions get all weird. The year that is in the name of a core set is the year after the core set came out, so I'll want to say something about playing Magic in 2014 and "the...

    Magic Memories: Sun Titan

    I've been playing Magic for almost 24 years. In that time, I've seen some of my friends quit the game and I've seen a few of them come back. Some people quit the game and return to the game multiple times. In all that time, I've never formally quit the game myself, nor have I gotten rid of my...

    Magic Memories: Harrow

    When talking about EDH in these Magic Memories threads, I've sometimes reviewed my usage of a card in decks I built for the West Coast Commander League in 2019 and 2020. In the case of Harrow, I had 20 total decks with a green color identity in which Harrow was eligible, and used it in 10 of...

    Magic Memories: Harrow

    I've talked about direct synergies like Lotus Cobra and Titania, Protector of Argoth. While those are the sorts of effects that really make Harrow appeal to me, let's not discount the more subtle advantages. There are a lot of little reasons that trading 1 land for 2 lands might be better than...

    The Power Phase is 3 for this turn. An updated picture of the dungeon map should be in the Discord. U.S. quarters mark the positions of undead riders, each one mounted on a nightmare.
