Getting back to this. Any ideas? Anything jump out at anyone else? I kinda let this project lapse again, but I really want to physically construct the deck at some point. In the previous post, I've got a kind of hodgepodge of cards, but no real theme other than "white bordered." I'm not coming...

Ain't no such set as 11th Edition, you dorks.

There's a lot going on here, so I should break it down and explain why I still like this card. Other than the art, I mean. Yeah, it's mostly the art, though. This is probably my favorite Christopher Rush piece. It makes the paladin look imposing, when really he kind of isn't. One nice flavor...

I will take up this challenge. Not right this moment, and it's probably just silly anyway because I don't play in the sort of environment where this could really be a thing, but I'll come up with something. I've given that some thought and I will use this card in a Commander deck at some point...

They did change the rules, but that's not quite the change. The way it worked before was that if you met a Companion card's deckbuilding requirements, you could reveal it from your sideboard at the start of the game and then you'd be able to cast it from your sideboard once during the game. In...

Just an annoying little rules clarification... The terms "local enchantment" and "global enchantment" are obsolete. They were still in official usage back in 7th Edition (off the top of my head, I can't think of any cards from this set where the terms themselves appear in rules text), but the...

I mean, I don't think I could bring myself to include it in any of my decks anymore, nor have I used it at all in over 20 years, so I can't really dispute what you're saying with any real conviction. The card is outclassed by newer stuff and had major issues even back in the 90's. However, I'll...

Oh, I agree. It's not a bad card. It's just not a very good one. I think part of what's incongruous is how many lines of text it has to really not do very much. And it is kinda too squishy, although at least when it's attacking it's either going unblocked or swinging in as a 6/6. You'd have to...

We're almost halfway through 2020 and the only new Memories thread I'd started this year was the Life from the Loam thread. I knew that I'd have a lot to say about Life from the Loam because it's such a prolific, useful card. I mean, it's good with pretty much any land in the game. As I went on...

Apparently I decided to update most of my current EDH decks on this U.S. Memorial Day. It also looks like I neglected to note previous updates to this deck and those look, in hindsight, to have been important. So let's go through them retrospectively... Minor update from when I built "The End...

Apparently I decided to update most of my current EDH decks on this U.S. Memorial Day. Here were the changes for this one... -1 Gideon, Ally of Zendikar -1 Oblivion Ring -1 Oketra the True -1 Oreskos Explorer -1 Serra the Benevolent +1 Binding Mummy +1 Drannith Magistrate +1 Giver of Runes +1...

More recently, Loam decks in tournament formats have taken a turn toward blue-heavier builds. And a new card from Theros Beyond Death is a big part of the reason for that... Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath is an amazingly powerful card in its own right. It's seen plenty of success in format with...

Impressed that you remembered! I guess it makes some sense that Apocalypse would have been in your wishboard there. I contend that even if you'd never built a wishboard at all and had just picked any legal sorcery, we'd all have been fine with it. But that does raise the question. Should Tribal...

Oh, have I not covered Wrenn and Six yet? Wrenn and Six is the best! You get a two-mana planeswalker with land recursion that can interact with fetchlands, Wasteland, Strip Mine, Horizon Canopy (and friends), cycling lands, Petrified Field, Crystal Vein, etc. Generally, Wrenn and Six can turn...

New Tribal synergies to look out for Dire Tactics: Just to make sure that Human Tribal gets more options for efficient support spells than any other tribe, since it already has more options for creatures. Kaheera, the Orphanguard: This comes with a whopping five tribal synergies, only two of...

New Tribes Otter: Three cards. So this defaults to Tier 7 for now. Although fans of these furry little vermin can’t really play them as a proper tribe, it shouldn’t matter too much. The two interesting ones are both elementals, so you can just play Elemental Tribal. The other otter doesn’t fit...

Well, this is going to be a big one. I don’t know when we’re going to get our hands on these cards. The current pandemic has messed with Magic set release scheduling. After some consideration, I’m consolidating the reports for Ikoria, Lair of Behemoths and Commander 2020. Looking back on last...
