Oh! Yes, sorry. I had intended to make that clear, but it appears that I should have done better with that. I initially wanted to pause within the round mostly because I wasn't sure if Throg's action needed revision (the other Warriors crowded him out). As tends to happen with this game, the...

My sixth grade teacher kept a small library of books in the classroom, and during that school year I read all of the fantasy-themed stuff she made available. Some of the books on her shelf were unlike anything available in the official school library. If was through my classroom bookshelves that...

Indeed. I want to delve into some tournament decklists, but the Form of the Dragon concept came up after the card was spoiled. I initially dismissed the card as wildly impractical. Now, I had thought that I walked that back somewhat even before the other Epic spells were revealed, but I can see...

Ty attacked both the Cold One and Nazzrakin using his initial attacks from his Pit Training skill. Kelgar used the ability on his Hammer of Spite to attack next and went after the Cold One. Revaethan moved in and attacked Nazzrakin. Dorgath moved in and eliminated the Cold One. Throg couldn't...

Mark Rosewater has gone on record that he thinks this mechanic has one of the smallest design spaces to work with out of all named mechanics in the game. Since it was confined to a cycle of five cards in one set, we might reason that it served its purpose and won't be reappearing in a future set...

The first Standard set next year is scheduled to be Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty. What little we know about this set raises some interesting issues, but I don't think those are worth talking about just yet, since we'll eventually learn more anyway. But the set did come up in discussion, and when my...

You become aware that this battle has drawn the focus of the gods. Any Warrior that chooses to may call out to the gods for aid. How or whether they'll intervene, though, is uncertain...

Next round... -The Power Phase is 1 for this turn. An Unexpected Event occurs!

-Ty strikes at Nazzrakin with his morningstar. -Nazzrakin dodges. -Ty stabs at Nazzrakin with his fist spike, but the dark elf catches his arm. -Ty swings his morningstar again, and the dark elf barely manages to duck beneath it. -Ty lunges with another attack, but Nazzrakin deflects it. -Ty...

I'm too lazy to make major revisions to this deck, but if you have suggestions, let's hear 'em. Played this deck again last night and ended up conceding one game early on. I was manascrewed and everyone else at the table was moving pretty quickly. I finally got Verduran Enchantress out and was...

Heh. Not having had the time to build different deck, I kept this silly thing around and played it some more last night. It always loses, but I get to cast some giants, so it works out. Right before the LGS closed, I had a really close game against my friend's deck helmed by Roalesk, Apex...

Hey, it’s time for a report on Innistrad: Midnight Hunt. We just got Dungeons & Dragons: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms and by the time this report is published, we’ll all be up to our necks in Innistrad: Crimson Vow. Soon, we’ll be getting a new Magic set with a colon in its name every...

I built a bad Giant Tribal deck with Bartel Runeaxe as commander. I was going to run Giant Harbinger and Surtland Flinger, but it turned out I didn't own any copies, so I threw Cosmic Horror and Sneak Attack in as last-minute swaps. Commander: 1x Bartel Runeaxe 1x All Hallow's Eve 1x Anger 1x...

Put an Enchantress deck together last night and played it tonight. Needs work... Commander: 1x Sythis, Harvest's Hand 1x Abundance 1x Academy Rector 1x Argothian Enchantress 1x Aura of Silence 1x Auratog 1x Brilliant Halo 1x Burgeoning 1x Crop Rotation 1x Darksteel Mutation 1x Destiny Spinner...

-Throg becomes terrified of the banshee. -Dorgath resists the terror of the banshee. -Carrow resists the terror of the banshee. -Kelgar becomes terrified of the banshee. -Ty becomes terrified of the banshee. -Tomas resists the terror of the banshee. -Revaethan resists the terror of the banshee...

Got some more gameplay in with this deck and it did better. At one point I got stuck with an empty hand, but I had Manabond on the battlefield, so when I topdecked Gamble I used it to get Life from the Loam into my graveyard, then used the Life from the Loam + Forgotten Cave engine to put lots...

I don't have much to say about the Worldfire unban other than to heartily endorse it. I know that in Sheldon Menery's followup article, he made a point of dismissing other chaff on the banlist as dramatically different from Worldfire and still banworthy, but I hope that they do eventually...

Well, this report is a bit different, for reasons I’ve already gone over in this thread, but probably not too different. Let’s get to it… New tribes Six of them! Without going back and checking, I think that’s the most new tribes I’ve had in any of these reports. The new creature types are as...

Woe betide the opponents of Compositional Theoretician aka Psarketos aka Dan. The Commander Rules Committee have just unbanned Worldfire. Also, Golos is banned now. https://mtgcommander.net/index.php/2021/09/13/september-2021-quarterly-update/

Ignoring the eerie banshee-mist, Dorgath begins checking the area directly in front of the bridge for traps. Ty moves to check one of the posts, as he is considering securing one end of the rope to the post. While he is examining it, a large form in the corner of his vision draws his attention...
