Put cards in graveyard. Take cards back out of graveyard. Get spirits. Kill opponents. Seems easy enough. Commander: 1 Quintorius, Field Historian 1 Academy Rector 1 Ao, the Dawn Sky 1 Argivian Find 1 Arid Mesa 1 Ashnod's Altar 1 Aura of Silence 1 Boreas Charger 1 Breath of Life 1 Cathartic...

Yep, its biggest spike in tournament usage would definitely have been in Flash decks. Karmic Guide has made other appearances in Legacy, to a lesser extent. The other big Legacy application was in Cephalid Breakfast decks. Flash was a much bigger deal over its short window, but Karmic Guide was...

When it comes to graveyard recursion, black and green are the two most prominent colors. But white has some excellent tools of its own. I've covered some green cards in this area. Black graveyard recursion and reanimation effects haven't really been a subject I've deliberately tackled in Magic...

I want to take another shot at this some day, but I need to give it time. For one thing, I see some elements of this deck that work well and others that do not. I don't really have a critical mass of ways to make my commander pay off, but I'm also running a few cards for Mishra synergies that I...

Haha, this deck is great. I'll have to pull parts from it at some point next month probably, but I am going to stall on that if possible. It's just a really fun deck.

Nebuchadnezzar finally won a game, and now I can retire this deck. I had tentatively intended to run The Haunt of Hightower as one of the creatures here, but didn't find it because I forgot that it was a buy-a-box exclusive foil and not stored with my other cards from Ravnica Allegiance. Oops...

This is my Mishra Stax deck. It locks the game up with artifacts. It is pretty bad, but I will not be likely to refine it anytime soon. Oh well. It's a starting point if I change my mind. Commander: 1 Mishra, Artificer Prodigy 1 Academy Ruins 1 Arcane Laboratory 1 Arcane Signet 1 Badlands 1...

Last August, I started regularly playing EDH on Wednesday nights at the LGS that opened up in my old hometown (it's just down the highway from where I live now). At that time, I had two long-term decks from 2019 that were still assembled and ready to play. "Epic" was one of them. So I got to do...

I was a little worried that this deck would be underpowered. Well, it has yet to win a game, but it's made a pretty big splash every time, and I think a couple of my losses were just rotten luck. I hadn't used cards like Geth's Grimoire and Waste Not in a couple of years, and they are pretty great.

Played three games with this one. It's a little slow, but also packs more of a punch than I might have guessed. First game, I was getting force-fed poison counters by a player that had a Fynn, the Fangbearer deck. When I finally got some blockers out, another player wiped the board with...

After getting some more games in with this deck, I really like how explosive it can be, but I also see that I set it up to have a pretty narrow range of options sometimes. In my last game, my opponents couldn't kill Serra Ascendant before I started stacking +1/+1 counters on it, so I wiped the...

About three years ago, the advent of the West Coast Commander League pulled my Magic focus to EDH as a primary format, and shifted my attention away from refining pet decks over a matter of years to building more and different decks, often on the fly. One of my earliest points of interest in...

Random discard is fun. Random discard is cool. I threw this together and it's probably too slow, but it has been a long time since I built a discard-based deck and I wanted to experiment. I do not think that the ceiling on Nebuchadnezzar as a commander is particularly high anyway and it might be...

Stuff changed and I moved on. My playset of Enduring Ideal moved around in various boxes as I sorted my collection, taking up nearly half of all Saviors of Kamigawa cards I physically owned (the set was one of the most glaring gaps in my collection, and kind of still is, although I've slowly...

Yep. I was too young to remember the original run of the show, which ended when I was under 2 years old. But of course I saw reruns. I was trying to come up with a name for a Zirilan deck and remembered the villain from Inspector Gadget. But Dr. Claw doesn't really do much except give orders and...

I was most of the way done with this deck on Tuesday evening, but it turned out that Al0ysiusHWWW needed to crash in the spare room where I keep most of my card storage boxes. So the deck that was supposed to essentially be my new deck for this week is really going to be the new deck for next...

Are you thinking of the old Island Sanctuary + Mystic Decree combo?

Once I abandoned my Zur's Weirding experiment, I really zeroed in on the Enduring Ideal package that became my mainstay for my own experiments with the card. Most of the pieces in my toolbox have already been introduced. But here are a few I don't think I've mentioned in this thread... And my...

No, not the mysterious CPA member that may or may not have once been multiple people sharing a single account. I'm referring to the actual card... I have the notion to use this silly thing in EDH. It started out with the goal of activating Urborg Panther's ability to fetch Spirit of the Night...
