And then there's this guy... Karmic Guide being used the old-fashioned way can be cool, but as we've already seen in this thread, it's the loops that really break the card. Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker was easily the most prominent enabler for such loops when Karmic Guide first had its power...

I wanted a copy of Emiel back when Jumpstart first came out, but I never opened one back then. Now they reprinted it and now I can salvage some of the components from my Lathiel deck for further unicorn shenanigans. Commander: 1 Emiel the Blessed 1 Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward 1 Abundance 1...

Ha ha. This one is so much fun. I cast Show and Tell, then Hypergenesis, then later cast Eureka, then Show and Tell again, and finally Hypergenesis again. All of that was in the course of a single game. My opponents put up quite the fight, but eventually my army overpowered them.

Uh oh. You OK?

I put Hypergenesis and Eureka in the same deck. I've never seen anyone else do that, and it's high time someone did. So now, someone has. Me. I did it. Commander 1 Maelstrom Wanderer 1 Ancient Copper Dragon 1 Anger 1 Annoyed Altisaur 1 Aurora Phoenix 1 Balefire Dragon 1 Beanstalk Giant 1...

Too much time had passed since I got to do Life from the Loam + Manabond stuff. It's great. Walk the Aeons is a particularly silly card in a Slogurk deck.

Had a couple more easy wins with this deck. I think I'll take it apart soon, not because I don't like it, but because it's succeeded enough that I can comfortably retire it and incorporate some of the parts into a new deck.

Back when Slogurk was spoiled, I wanted to build a Slogurk deck. I have now built a Slogurk deck. Commander: 1 Slogurk, the Overslime 1 Abundance 1 Ancient Greenwarden 1 Arcane Denial 1 Azusa, Lost but Seeking 1 Bala Ged Recovery 1 Beast Within 1 Boseiju, Who Endures 1 Brainstorm 1 Breeding...

Just a single game with this one so far. My opponents were not really anticipating the Sensei's Divining Top combo. I put The Reality Chip on a Spellskite and used it and Maze of Ith for protection. Due to a misunderstanding, I blew through some of my countermagic when I probably didn't need to...

Had an easy win with this one when I topdecked Necromancy right after an opponent used Wrath of God. I'm really starting to respect Sling-Gang Lieutenant, which was originally just thrown in as an afterthought because I had one left over from a scrapped Canadian Highlander deck.

I finally played this one again after mostly leaving it untouched for the past couple months. Sadly, I was locked down by Stonehorn Dignitary + Soulherder for pretty much the entire game. I had almost 30 snakes out, but couldn't attack ever.

My last couple of games with this one have been good. Overall, my biggest note for future tweaks is that the deck just isn't consistent enough. When it all comes together, it works really well. But there's also a tendency to get stuck in topdeck mode. It's not the worst, but I want to address...

This deck continues to impress. Despite a bit of a lousy start in my last game and pressure from a disruptive deck with a superior board state, Tazri's ability and the resiliency of the party theme as a reaonable five-color midrange goodstuff setup let hang in there. I threatened to overtake the...

Reality is that which, when you reconfigure it onto a creature, scares the crap out of your opponents. Commander: 1 The Reality Chip 1 Academy Ruins 1 Aetherflux Reservoir 1 Ancient Tomb 1 Anvil of Bogardan 1 Arcane Denial 1 Ash Barrens 1 Basalt Monolith 1 Brainstorm 1 Chain of Vapor 1 Chrome...

I actually won a game with this deck. Kind of. Or perhaps not really, but I'm counting it as a win. The store was closing soon and the opponent that had the best chance of winning against me scooped, then the other players just went along with it and conceded to me. I do not think I'd have won...

This deck is great fun. Won my last game the old-fashioned way, with ordinary combat damage from ordinary creatures. I actually never drew a wizard that time, but a party of three was enough to finish the game, in part because my opponents weakened each other more than they weakened me. I want...

Got stuck in the first game and just wasn't drawing anything I could actually use, despite getting both my commander and my background onto the battlefield. Eventually, I was able to try to set up a combo, but one of my opponents was holding onto like four counterspells or something by that...

Home computer is fixed and I should actually be home tonight, so hopefully I'll get back to this soon. No, really.

I wasn't really interested in the whole "Background" mechanic. But Abdel caught my eye and the temptation to loop Dance of the Dead with this commander is too great. Commander: 1 Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward 1 Scion of Halaster 1 Ancient Tomb 1 Angel of Despair 1 Animate Dead 1 Archaeomancer's...

-1 Ghostly Pilferer +1 Nimble Trapfinder Oops. I purchased a copy of Nimble Trapfinder just for this deck. During initial construction, I forgot where I left the card and accidentally ommitted it. I've already played with Ghostly Pilferer (it was fine). I'm correcting the mistake now. I'll have...
