That PVDDR article is a nice read, and his decklist showcases a few important developments. Not all of those are of direct interest to Enduring Ideal, but I do find them interesting anyway... This represents an early application of the Scrying Sheets engine. 25 out of 60 maindeck slots are snow...

You are correct. And I might as well explain why that's what you're seeing, since maybe you or someone else might have some useful insight here... The regular Warhammer Quest character sheets that come in the box set are not very good. They're adequate for starting out, but they don't have much...

New year. New dungeon! Let's do this... Working together with your weapons/tools, you are able to laboriously clear the debris from the the mouth of a tunnel. Ty's new backup sword is borken, but it gets the job done. Scrambling through rough tunnels, you lose track of whether you've moved...

Hey, it's the third year in a row that I get to do this. Due to circumstances, each of these has been pretty different. In 2019, the West Coast Commander League officially started in March, and I brought a new deck to almost every meetup. My statistics writeup focuses on those decks with the...

You could try...

Right? I haven't seen the card in years and it's probably just too mana-hungry these days. But I like it.

Along with the reprint of Form of the Dragon, Ninth Edition also provided a reprint of Battle of Wits. This was a viable application for Enduring Ideal in Standard. Seven mana is a lot, but Battle of Wits costs five mana anyway and Enduring Ideal covers that, as it puts the enchantment directly...

The package based around Form of the Dragon was the one that really put Enduring Ideal in the limelight. I noted that the naysayers (myself included) viewed Enduring Ideal as an expensive enchantment-fetching tool along the lines of Academy Rector, but with too severe a drawback. We didn't think...

I'll say that in combination with the warhammers to knock rocks loose and the staff as a lever, you could definitely make an opening large enough for everyone to pass through (single file), but that if you use this method, there's a small chance that the staff will break. Small-ish, anyway...

Yeah, after digging around a bit, I think the "Tannenbaum" spelling is the official version. The "Tanenbaum" spelling is either just outright wrong or very deprecated. So I'll edit it to that. Thanks, TomB.

It seems that no one has a proper pick. Kelgar does have two warhammers, which might work, although they're somewhat awkward for the task at hand.

I've seen it spelled both ways. Probably kind of like how a lot of old words were spelled inconsistently in English over the centuries? I dunno.

They range in size. Most of them are small enough to move by hand, but they're wedged in with some bigger ones that are too heavy for that.

Last night, I was trying to come up with a Christmas-themed deck to play today, as this would be my last night to get some games in before Christmas. Obvious candidates were some kind of snow-based deck, a gift-giving deck, and a deck that makes non-flying creatures into flying creatures. Those...

Oh no! It shouldn't look like treasure at all. It's rubble. A cave-in. On closer inspection, Dorgath can easily tell that it's a small, superficial cave-in. Perhaps it was done deliberately to block the exit. It would be easy to clear with a pick, but Dorgath didn't bring one...

Alright. I've got the staff going to Kelgar, the book going to Tomas, and the sword going to Carrow.

Indeed it is. In my last three games with this deck (one this week, and two last week), I got an early Sensei's Divining Top on the board and either drew into or tutored into Mystic Forge. Very explosive, and that interaction got Mystic Forge restricted in Vintage a couple years ago. Prior to...

The bridge is surprisingly more robust than it looks, and crossing it is easy for everyone. Ty leads the way and remains alert, but no threats emerge. Tomas examines the items that were tucked into the rubble pile... Staff of Osiris: Once per turn, can be used to launch a beam that deals 1D6+3...

Mystic Forge is quite the Magic card, huh?

Dragons smash. Jund 'em out. Vaevictis Asmadi just might be the third-best original elder dragon of them all. Top three, for sure. Maybe. Probably. I had enough fun with the Bad Giants deck that I figured I should do Bad Dragons too. Amazingly, this deck won two out of three games, even though...
