Peasant: One new card. Um, it makes squirrels. Cool? Peasant Tribal remains virtually unplayable. Pegasus: One new card. I don’t like it. Pirate: Three new cards. The monkey is so potent that it makes the cut in any red-heavy Pirate Tribal deck. The other two are questionable. Plant: One new...

Before the cards in Modern Horizons 2 were revealed, there was a looming question. The first Modern Horizons was the first experiment at releasing cards directly into the Modern format, circumventing Standard power level concerns. And in hindsight, we now know that the first set in this series...

The release date for Modern Horizons 2 is fast approaching. I should be able to get my Tribal Update Report ready by then. If you haven't noticed, the set is pretty crazy. Amidst all the craziness, one thing I noticed was that EDH players who are also Enchantress enthusiasts finally got the...

-Dorgath's Great Axe restores 1 Wound. -Dorgath's Lifestone of Ashraz heals 1 Wound (15/25). -Throg breaks wind and casts Cause Animosity, insisting to the wights that it was the crypt keepers who broke wind, then telling the crypt keepers that it was actually the wights. His magic succeeds on...

Definitely a valid approach. Tribal Game 15 was played all the way back in 2013, so I forget if Blood Moon was in my maybe pile for this one, but it might have been. I could easily build a stronger Goblins deck these days, and could probably have done so even back then. It came up in discussion...

Thread necromancy time! While writing my Tribal report for the fast-approaching release of Modern Horizons 2, I was trying to jog my memory about some deck that someone else had played in a CPA game, and I happened across this thread. I was immediately distracted by the fact that the decklists I...

What happened on Arena, though?

You're not wrong. I haven't seen anyone try Tibalt's Trickery with Griselbrand, but Legacy players have used it to cast Emrakul. Since they're casting Emrakul instead of just cheating it onto the battlefield, they get the cast trigger too. So that's pretty brutal.

Although some of the core features, such as the adoption of Forbidden Orchard as an Oath enabler and the split between graveyard-based combo vs. planeswalker-based control, were already well-established by late 2000's, big changes were on the way. The early 2010's saw the introduction of...

Saprolings are fun. In my own decks, generally this has been either from Saproling Burst, Saproling Cluster, or Night Soil. But I've been toying with bringing back some of the other classic saproling generators. Elvish Farmer is (or will soon be) a $10 card. Is it all just Reserved List crap, or...

That sucks. I've been pretty fortunate so far in that I never had too much of my collection lost or stolen, and I think I've since replaced just about everything that did go missing. I know that there are cards that, were I to lose possession of them now, I'd likely never be able to replace them...

Needs Mor Beatdown Commander: Palladia-Mors (20 decks) I’m starting to notice that a lot of the Chronicles commander options have multiple budget decks so extreme that they’re down in the double digits. 6 out of the 20 Palladia-Mors decks are below $100. I’m assuming that there’s some prolific...

So I did a thing, but it's kinda the same topic as this article was, so I'll post in the same thread instead of starting a new one... This is a silly idea, but I thought it might be fun. I noticed that the website EDHrec wasn’t drawing on any of my decks for its data collection. So I fixed...

You might have thought I'd have found time to roll and update this round at some point during the long weekend. Apparently not! But here it is now. Better late than never? Also... Round 4 -The Power Phase is 6 for this turn. -The Winds of Magic attune themselves to Throg's will. Throg has an...

-Dorgath's Axe restores 1 Wound. -Dorgath's Lifestone of Ashraz restores 1 Wound (10/25). -Tomas draws 1 POW from his Chalice of Sorcery. -Tomas casts Life Force on Tyresius. -Tomas casts Lifebringer on himself (13/21), Dorgath (13/25), and Ty (20/20). Jekaena hears Dorgath call out to her to...

Well, turns out that while I was eating dinner last night and sorting/boxing my Strixhaven cards, I watched this entire series. I'll say that the commentary from the pros did temper some of my misgivings about the wonkiness here. They might have been even harder on the placement of basic lands...

Haven't watched the videos yet, but I think I get the gist of them from your post. Yeah, with 100 slots, people could quibble over placements all day and not get anywhere. So there might be cards I'd personally rank higher or lower, but that would be true for any list like this. Even if I ranked...

Yeah, Thassa's Oracle has caused Doomsday decks to shoot back up to tier 1 in Vintage again, and it's quite the bomb in Legacy too. It rules the cEDH tables. I think it sees a fair bit of Modern play as well. The card is nuts.

https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/may-19-2021-banned-and-restricted-announcement Thassa's Oracle is banned in Historic. That's all.

Once Tyrant Oath was established, most of the existing options for Vintage Oath decks were superceded or modified. Around 2011, that started to shift. I've been wondering how to describe developments in the intervening period. There were some notable creature payloads for Oath, but the most...
