    Magic Memories: Sun Titan

    Now that we've got the weakest titan out of the way, let's get the strongest one out of the way. And I'm not ashamed to admit that it isn't Sun Titan. While Sun Titan is one of the strongest and is the most fun and flexible, certainly earning its place as my favorite of this cycle, there's one...

    Magic Memories: Sun Titan

    I'll get into why Sun Titan is my favorite out of this five-card cycle. But let's go over the cycle itself... Frost Titan When WotC does a cycle of cards across multiple colors, it's not usually the case that the blue card is the worst one. That's certainly the case here. Even so, Frost Titan...

    February 15, 2021 Banned & Restricted List Announcement

    There's a lot in this announcement and a lot that could be said here. But I find myself at a loss for how to even approach this one. In what may or may not be a sensible order, here are my reactions... I asked a friend who used to run tournaments, "Where are they even getting the data to make...

    Magic Memories: Sun Titan

    I hate trying to talk about specific core sets from after Tenth Edition in these threads because WotC made the naming conventions get all weird. The year that is in the name of a core set is the year after the core set came out, so I'll want to say something about playing Magic in 2014 and "the...

    Magic Memories: Sun Titan

    I've been playing Magic for almost 24 years. In that time, I've seen some of my friends quit the game and I've seen a few of them come back. Some people quit the game and return to the game multiple times. In all that time, I've never formally quit the game myself, nor have I gotten rid of my...

    Magic Memories: Harrow

    When talking about EDH in these Magic Memories threads, I've sometimes reviewed my usage of a card in decks I built for the West Coast Commander League in 2019 and 2020. In the case of Harrow, I had 20 total decks with a green color identity in which Harrow was eligible, and used it in 10 of...

    Magic Memories: Harrow

    I've talked about direct synergies like Lotus Cobra and Titania, Protector of Argoth. While those are the sorts of effects that really make Harrow appeal to me, let's not discount the more subtle advantages. There are a lot of little reasons that trading 1 land for 2 lands might be better than...

    Warhammer Quest: The Sylvan Epic

    The Power Phase is 3 for this turn. An updated picture of the dungeon map should be in the Discord. U.S. quarters mark the positions of undead riders, each one mounted on a nightmare.

    Warhammer Quest: The Sylvan Epic

    Ty pushes the door open, revealing another empty room. This room has fewer visible roots in the ceiling and none in the walls. It's a stone chamber. Curiously, there seems to be a well in the middle of the room. Across from you stands a door, blocked by a huge portcullis. Undead knights like the...

    Magic Memories: Harrow

    I haven't mentioned Crop Rotation yet, another of my staples and a card that could easily merit its own Magic Memories thread. Like Harrow, it is an instant with an additional cost of sacrificing a land. Both cards fetch lands from libraries, but they tend to be used pretty differently. While...

    Tribal Update Report: Kaldheim

    New tribal synergies to look out for Armed and Armored: The card itself is a bit gimmicky, but it does help solidify an identity for Dwarf Tribal as being good with equipment and being good with vehicles. An actual deck probably focuses on one over the other. Starnheim Aspirant: Excellent Angel...

    Tribal Update Report: Kaldheim

    I find myself in a bit of a Tribal Update Report funk, but I’ll probably get over it. Before we get into the cards from Kaldheim, let’s recapitulate what I’m even doing here. On again and off again from 2005 to 2013, we held a series of casual multiplayer games under an evolving ruleset based on...

    Warhammer Quest: The Sylvan Epic

    Following Ty's advice, the party briefly rests and recovers. Everyone takes the time to consume a provision. But this respite is over soon, and you resume your journey beneath the roots. Traveling north past the bone chamber takes you through another dark, root-lined corridor. This passage...

    Magic Memories: Harrow

    Loam decks have been a recurring experiment for me in the West Coast Commander League. I've already talked about that in the Magic Memories thread for Life from the Loam. What I don't think I emphasized there was that most of my Loam decks also doubled as Landfall decks, at least to some extent...

    Warhammer Quest: The Sylvan Epic

    Round 1 -Dorgath lines up and tosses the axe. He throws with his off-hand. He nearly hits his mark, but throwing off-handed has messed with his aim. Throg and Carrow heckle Dorgath for this blunder. -Kelgar throws the axe, but misses the target. It looks like Sigmar has forsaken him. -Ty throws...
