    Best PC software for MTG?

    Good question. I just use spreadsheets myself, but that approach doesn't have those functions you mention. The main software I've heard of for this sort of thing is called Magic Assistant, but I've never tried it myself.

    The End of Eternity [EDH]

    Hard to believe that I'd been running Akroma's Will all this time and only just last night did I finally get to use it. Wiped out two of my opponents, but misread one of them as being a bigger threat than he really could have been. I wasn't able to close the game out before the player with the...

    Bad Giant Tribal Deck [EDH]

    I came kind of close to winning a long game with this deck. I cast Living Death and the Thundercloud Shaman it brought back came along with nine other giants. So I got some hits in, but ultimately some better deck won out.

    Lone Wolf Adventures [EDH]

    I got to use Sword of the Ages to (temporarily) save myself and the rest of the table in a game last night. I kind of don't want to take this deck apart until I've used the Realm-Cloaked Giant I bought for it. So maybe I'll have more stupid plays with this thing. :p

    Gitrog County on a Budget [EDH]

    Yes, another of my decks helmed by The Gitrog Monster. But there's a reason for this. My longstanding Gitrog deck, GCMLDA, had some cards poached from it in 2020 to use in other decks, and I never updated it while I was updating my other decks. I had plans to get around to that, but then...

    Magic Memories: Enduring Ideal

    Reviewing my own reaction to Enduring Ideal as a set spoiler, it sticks out to me that I was thinking in terms of some big, game-winning enchantment. The play pattern of fetching a series of cards to make victory increasingly difficult for the opponent wasn't something I'd ever seen before, and...

    Magic Memories: Enduring Ideal

    Eternal Dominion sure does cost ten mana. That fact arguably makes it one of the worst spells in the epic cycle (although I still contend that Undying Flames is the worst). On the other hand, blue decks can be proficient in cheating on mana costs and on copying spells. Eternal Dominion might not...

    Best way to AI a deck?

    Oh, I've certainly done stuff like that. But I don't think there's really a way to outsource the decision-making for the "opponent" to something other than a person. Notably, you can play against the "Challenge Decks" from Theros Block (not to be confused with Challenger Decks), and they play...

    Best way to AI a deck?

    I guess I'm not sure what "AI" as a verb would mean? o_O

    Best way to AI a deck?

    Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what you're looking for? Because this doesn't seem possible with any technology I've ever seen...

    New to the forums, not new to magic.

    Welcome, I still post here a lot (except in the Warhammer Quest thread, where I run and hide). I'm back to playing EDH in-person once a week or so, and my stupid EDH decks might be the main ones I talk about here, but I play other formats too, given the opportunity. I write some longform stuff...

    Magic Memories: Enduring Ideal

    Sadly, I think that's right. Neverending Torment gets a similar effect to Denying Wind, but Denying Wind can be followed up with subsequent spells, which makes its steeper cost well worth the difference here. Jester's Cap and similar effects have never really been something I've explored much...

    Magic Memories: Enduring Ideal

    Endless Swarm can make lots of snakes. This strikes me as a rather tempting casual card, but not something practical. Not at eight mana, anyway. Initial appearances can be deceiving, though? It looks like someone managed to make this work in the tournament environment. I found this Standard...

    Magic Memories: Enduring Ideal

    Undying Flames is definitely the "Oath of Mages" of the epic cycle. And when you're never casting spells again, that feels even worse. I can confidently say that I've never used Undying Flames or had it used against me, and I struggle to think whether I've even heard of anyone actually playing...

    Warhammer Quest: The Sylvan Epic

    Jekaena is the d20. The black circle token is the banshee. And yes, the others are all correct.

    Warhammer Quest: The Sylvan Epic

    Are you guys confusing Carrow with Revaethan? Carrow stayed behind and shot arrows at the banshee.

    Magic Arena Forums Going Bye Bye

    It's been a pervasive issue online in multiple areas that message board are being phased out in favor of Discord servers, but Discord doesn't offer the same functionality that message boards did for a lot of things.

    Magic Memories: Enduring Ideal

    While I can't state precisely what was going on in my head 16 years ago, I think I have a pretty good idea why I was wrong about Enduring Ideal, despite partially recognizing its power. The play patterns that Enduring Ideal allows were definitely outside my experience in 2005. When I thought of...
