Proceeding to combat damage. Soothsayer and Guardian hit each other but both live? You take 8?

Forum ate my reply. No response.

As the last member of the party enters the room, things start to get blurry. You turn toward the door, but the room and everything in it seems to be growing so rapidly that the door moves a vast, unreachable distance away from your position. You feel that the fabric of reality has warped and...

UUD, Chittering Witch, responses?

UUD, Attack with my whole team. Blocks/responses?

Nope.

I started off 2020 in the West Coast Commander League with the commander that will always be the my true favorite, deep down. Nearest and dearest to my heart. The card that was my favorite Magic card in 1998 when I had no idea what I was doing, but making lots of slivers was fun. Long live the...

Done. Oversoul (Savage Hunter): 29 Hand: 5 Commander (1): 2BRG Korvold, Fae-Cursed King (4/4; Flying. Whenever ~ etb or attacks, sac another permanent. Whenever I sac a permanent, put a +1/+1 counter on ~ and draw a card.) Library: 44 Battlefield: (T) Stomping Ground (R/G shockland) (T,T)...

Counting by card type, I’m amused and perhaps a bit proud that my most used creature in these decks turned out to be Spike Weaver. Here are the top 11 appearances. Creatures Spike Weaver: 13 Eternal Witness: 9 Genesis: 8 Gilded Drake: 8 Snapcaster Mage: 8 Manakin: 6 Spore Frog: 6 Jace, Vryn's...

Back in February of 2019, West Coast Sports Cards in Federal Way, Washington began organizing test runs for a new weekly casual commander event, which would become the West Coast Commander League. The league officially opened in March and while participation has been inconsistent, it’s looking...

Oops, forgot to post this on Sunday. Last deck of the year for the West Coast Commander League. Themes included snow, cards with family relationships in their names, and giving Flying to non-flying creatures. Commander 1x Gosta Dirk 1x Ajani, Caller of the Pride 1x Anvil of Bogardan 1x Arcane...

We made it to 2020.

There could be other outcomes I either haven’t thought of or ones that involve some major disruption (like the game being sold to another company), but if this goes on, I think one of those five scenarios or some mixture of them would come to pass. As I said, Scenario 5 is the one I’ve come to...

Scenario 1: the power level goes down (eventually) and the “old” cards from before a certain point are the best ones to use in your deck This might seem like a strange notion, in light of everything else I’ve been presenting, but I list it for the sake of completeness. This is a real idea that...

From Brian Hawley’s article, we’ve learned that the consistently high power level is on purpose. And he also outlines why they’ve made this change. This philosophy seems coherent and sensible. Magic should be fun, inviting, replayable, and exciting. And with the strong cards we’ve been seeing...

Every year has its share of developments in Magic: new products, format changes, rules adjustments, etc. I don’t know if backtracking to a decade ago is helpful here, but 2009 was a pretty big year for the game, finishing off the Alara Block with two sets that added a lot of useful tools for...

This is a long article. You’ve been warned. At the most abstract level, this one has been a long time coming. A very, very long time. But I don’t think I’d have made the effort to string these words together and come up with something coherent if not for the (relatively) recent article by Bryan...
