While I find the ban on Flash to be eminently warranted, I did find the strange tone of the announcement rather off-putting. Checked around and I've seen similar reactions from others. It just smacks of disdain and exceptionalism. As though these "cEDH" players are participating in some...

Saw people on other sites have been digging this up, and it is kind of surreal now. It's an imaginary conversation about unrealistic stories that reflect actual card design lessons. Kind of a goofball experimental format for an article, but Mark Rosewater is into that sort of thing...

At the time that I wrote all of the posts currently in the Magic Memories thread for Zuran Orb, my experience with the card was all rather deep in the past. I'd estimated that it had been a decade or more since the last time I'd used the card, as most of my gameplay outside of forum games here...

Now that combat is over, getting out of the pit isn't particularly difficult. The pit wasn't really built to be a prison. It looks like it might have been built for storage at one point. Jekaena, Tomas, and Dorgath get some assistance, but other members of the party pitch in and soon everyone is...

Carrow climbs up onto the ledge. He sees that it's pretty big, but bare. It's covered in Nayadra's blood now, but that's Throg's fault. The only feature of interest seems to be the door (right in the middle of the wall, across from the pit), which Nayadra had been sticking close to.

Along with Death Loam, there was also Loam Pox. It didn't have the connection to the Extended format archetype and was a Legacy original. I was more cognizant of Death Loam because my friend played it, but the Pox version was less mana-intensive and ultimately lasted much longer. Loam Pox was...

Also, the Power Phase roll is 3 for the next turn, so I'm going to assume roll some dice, and confirm that the healers can finish healing the rest of the party. Carry on.

Seriously, I was going to have Nayadra run into the next room after one more round of spellcasting, and then if you guys didn't follow her closely enough, she'd summon a bunch more dryads. But I forgot that Throg could just levitate and then axe-murder her. Good job?

-The Power Phase is 2. -Jekaena casts Heal Wounds on Tomas (18/21). -Tomas casts Life Force on Throg. Wounds inflicted by his attacks can be distributed as healing. -Kelgar fails to bless anything. -Carrow swings wide. -Revaethan uses Woven Mist (4). -Revaethan leaps into action against the...

-Jekaena casts Finger of Life on Tomas (7/21). -Jekaena casts Heal Wounds on Tomas (8/21). -Ty takes a swig from a Heal-Itt Potion (12/20). -Ty takes a second gulp (14/20). -Tomas chugs a Healing Potion (14/21). -Tomas strikes Nayadra with another Spear of Light (20/35). -Kelgar blesses himself...

Although it's been out for a few weeks, I only just now came across this article, which pretty much summarizes my own feelings on the Companion issue: https://articles.starcitygames.com/premium/companion-is-the-worst-mechanic-for-the-health-of-magic-since-phyrexian-mana/

Hey, are you still running Ramses Overdark? I was looking at the list I ran in the West Coast Commander League (Is It Dark In Here Or Is It Just Me?). Unlike some of the other Legends legends, I wasn't able to give Ramses Overdark a fair shake. Wanted to try again at some point. Perhaps not in...

Echoing Decay.

More on that later? Well, it's later now! Wait, what? Squandered Resources became kind of a signature card for Al0ysiusHWWW's casual decks in the early 00's. I had my own crappy versions of some famous broken combo decks (Academy, Necro-Donate, High Tide, Channel/Fireball, Jar, PandeBurst)...

Although I've invoked Death Loam in the previous two posts, it occurs to me that I've left unsaid just how powerful of a control spell Death Cloud could be when used with the Loam engine. The version that Al0ysiusHWWW built almost always ran Squandered Resources, but this was his own innovation...

Don't let Spidey roll Chaos, don't let Spidey roll Chaos, don't let Spidey roll Chaos...

Lot of damage just happened there. Current Wound totals posted here, for convenience... Throg: 20/29 Dorgath: 25/25 Carrow: 17/17 Kelgar: 11/19 Tyresius: 7/20 Tomas: 1/21 Revaethan: 11/18 Jekaena: 8/14 Nayadra: 24/35 Dryad next to Throg: 8/15 Dryad next to Jekaena: 15/15 Dryad next to Dorgath...

Note: I forgot about Kelgar's Hammer of Spite, so rolled for his ambush just now. He missed. Oh well. -Jekaena casts Glittering Robe. -Jekaena casts Glittering Robe. -Jekaena casts Glittering Robe (8 total points of damage shielding). -Throg hurls an Ice Missile at Nayadra. It shoots just past...

https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/april-13-2020-banned-and-restricted-announcement Lutri, the Spellchaser is banned in Brawl. Oops, we missed this one. Then again, it would seem no one cares because it's just about Brawl anyway, and everyone kind of assumed Lutri was already...
