To probably no one's surprise, we have official confirmation that these cards will be legal in Commander: https://mtgcommander.net/index.php/2020/10/02/rc-statement-on-secret-lair-the-walking-dead/

Well, this became controversial again, but we haven't been discussing Secret Lairs here for a while, so I might need to provide some background. We're on 27 of these so far, counting the April Fools one. I semi-accidentally skipped out on the Thalia one, but purchased all of the others except...

https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/september-28-2020-banned-and-restricted-announcement-2020-09-28 Standard: Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath is banned.

I'm pretty sure that hasn't happened in several years. So if anyone (especially Spiderman) is wondering, it's a built-in drawback of the Dwarf's starting ability: Great Axe Attack. The way the ability normally functions is that the Dwarf gets to roll an extra D6 for damage, then drop the lowest...

-Fueled by the battle frenzy awakened from his past in the fighting pits of Middenheim, Ty rushes the undead. He easily catches his first opponent with his morningstar (7/13). -Ty attempts to bring in his fist spike, but he was still charging and lost his balance as he arrived. -Ty tries again...

I have a record of at least one more Legacy Pox deck that I was testing in late 2004. 3x Chimeric Idol 4x Chrome Mox 3x Cursed Scroll 4x Dark Ritual 4x Diabolic Edict 4x Duress 4x Hymn to Tourach 4x Pox 4x Sinkhole 3x Spinning Darkness 19x Swamp 4x The Rack Sideboard: 3x Choking Sands 3x...

And we're back with another Tribal Update Report. We're leaving Ikoria, a wild land in which people must be resourceful in order to deal with an abundance of monsters. Now we're going to Zendikar, a wild land in which people must be resourceful in order to deal with an abundance of monsters. I...

Reading over my previous post, it occurs to me that Smallpox and the advent of Legacy "Pox" decks built around it has been dominating my perception of Pox in black decks for so long that I'd neglected to think about how things used to be. Sure, Smallpox is a great card. But Cursed Scroll was...

Most of my experience with Cursed Scroll has been in red-based aggressive decks, generally either monored or red/green. But perhaps the strongest niche for the card is in monoblack control decks, especially the "Pox" archetype. The card actually takes on a very different role in black control...

That was how I was doing it before, but it was adding an unnecessary step in combat. I don't know how this combat will go. I'm excited that you guys initiated two encounters at the same time. But as for whether you use your Luck point, that's up to you. They usually go unused anyway, although I...

Throg walks over and starts to check out the ooze. Simultaneously, Dorgath opens the door, revealing another root-encrusted chamber. It looks like it was once furnished to house someone. A derelict cell, but it's in extremely poor condition. All is quiet at first, then something stirs. The roots...

This room is littered with bones and debris. In one corner, green ooze seeps from a rusted container.

Both doors seem simple and functional. They're a bit damaged, but it seems to be from long-term disuse and the gradual encroachment of the tree roots from above. There's nothing audible behind the doors.

So this is still a thing. Anyway: https://medium.com/@rich_87400/hasbros-crusade-against-representation-f20b21f65d64

The walls don't seem to be hiding any secrets. Which door is Ty checking?

Rereading that old thread and yikes, I know everyone had to kind of learn the procedure for updating the board state as they went with our forum games, but I'd forgotten how bad I was about that in 2004. Glad Spiderman was patient with me. 🥺 I really like that R/G Sligh deck. I don't think that...

Added items to character inventories. I threw the scroll in Kelgar's inventory, just because he can use it and his player is potentially still here. So does Ty want to add the Silver Stone to a weapon?

Mooseman mentioned Sligh, an archetype that once had a strong association with this card. Like a lot of efficient damage-dealing cards available in red, Cursed Scroll has seen play in both Burn decks and in Sligh decks. The difference is a matter of usage. In Sligh, Cursed Scroll was more often...

That reminds me, I forgot that there was also gold in the chest with the items. We'll just divvy that up now and pretend I didn't forget at all!

Since no one else has posted anything all week, I'll assume the party follows Carrow's lead and gets out of the first room... You're in a root-encrusted passage. It forks, with a door to the left and a door to the right.
