Got some EDH games in last night with a few friends. Mostly, I was piloting this deck in its latest form. It accounted for itself quite well, winning most of the games I played. I'm happy with the deck Best moment was probably when I topdecked Eternal Witness after my opponents killed my...

This was all sparked by Invoke Prejudice, a card that is old and obscure enough a lot of people aren't familiar with it. So before I say anything about the other cards they banned, I'd better go over this one. Oh, and as a preamble, while most people are just going to flat-out dismiss Invoke...

So I wasn't going to delve into the context behind what led up to this, but it occurs to me in retrospect that not doing so was a mistake. The CPA is one of those places where most of us could easily have missed the events leading up to this. So... Last week, a bunch of corporations did this...

Well, I don't know where to start on this one. I've discussed it elsewhere and seen a lot more discussion of it elsewhere, with a lot of different takes. So far, it looks like there will be more "sweeps" with more cards banned. And with one exception that I know of, organizers for non-sanctioned...

Yes, let's do something. I think all of the CPA games I'd been in are kinda on hiatus until Spiderman comes back (I was tempted to try to move Warhammer Quest along without him, but no one else said anything and I thought it might be best to just wait at least a while longer). So I've got...

Sorry, I should have been clearer. Although I think WotC is at least partially to blame for this. What I meant was that you seemed to be doing the core sets in order, but that it also looks like you skipped one. You finished up your Tenth Edition on June 5th, and that was the core set released...

The 12 core set is actually M11, not M12. Not that it really matters, since you both obviously know which set you're using here. But did you guys skip M10, then?

CR #7 is exactly what is being changed. The new rule will be the little quoted excerpt I included in the first post of this thread. If a commander is in a graveyard or in exile since the last time state-based actions were checked, its owner may put it into the command zone. Players who didn't...

According to their explanation, it was simply that someone in the Commander Advisory Group tried to use Elenda, the Dusk Rose in the intuitive way, only to learn that if the card was put back into the command zone with Commander Rule #7, it wouldn't trigger. Players all over the world had been...

https://mtgcommander.net/index.php/2020/06/07/june-7-announcement-on-dies-triggers/ This is a good change.

Getting back to this. Any ideas? Anything jump out at anyone else? I kinda let this project lapse again, but I really want to physically construct the deck at some point. In the previous post, I've got a kind of hodgepodge of cards, but no real theme other than "white bordered." I'm not coming...

Ain't no such set as 11th Edition, you dorks.

There's a lot going on here, so I should break it down and explain why I still like this card. Other than the art, I mean. Yeah, it's mostly the art, though. This is probably my favorite Christopher Rush piece. It makes the paladin look imposing, when really he kind of isn't. One nice flavor...

I will take up this challenge. Not right this moment, and it's probably just silly anyway because I don't play in the sort of environment where this could really be a thing, but I'll come up with something. I've given that some thought and I will use this card in a Commander deck at some point...

They did change the rules, but that's not quite the change. The way it worked before was that if you met a Companion card's deckbuilding requirements, you could reveal it from your sideboard at the start of the game and then you'd be able to cast it from your sideboard once during the game. In...

https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/june-1-2020-banned-and-restricted-announcement Standard: -Agent of Treachery is banned. -Fires of Invention is banned. Historic -Agent of Treachery is banned suspended. -Fires of Invention is banned suspended. Also, the rules for the...

Just an annoying little rules clarification... The terms "local enchantment" and "global enchantment" are obsolete. They were still in official usage back in 7th Edition (off the top of my head, I can't think of any cards from this set where the terms themselves appear in rules text), but the...

I mean, I don't think I could bring myself to include it in any of my decks anymore, nor have I used it at all in over 20 years, so I can't really dispute what you're saying with any real conviction. The card is outclassed by newer stuff and had major issues even back in the 90's. However, I'll...

Oh, I agree. It's not a bad card. It's just not a very good one. I think part of what's incongruous is how many lines of text it has to really not do very much. And it is kinda too squishy, although at least when it's attacking it's either going unblocked or swinging in as a 6/6. You'd have to...
