We're almost halfway through 2020 and the only new Memories thread I'd started this year was the Life from the Loam thread. I knew that I'd have a lot to say about Life from the Loam because it's such a prolific, useful card. I mean, it's good with pretty much any land in the game. As I went on...

Apparently I decided to update most of my current EDH decks on this U.S. Memorial Day. It also looks like I neglected to note previous updates to this deck and those look, in hindsight, to have been important. So let's go through them retrospectively... Minor update from when I built "The End...

Apparently I decided to update most of my current EDH decks on this U.S. Memorial Day. Here were the changes for this one... -1 Gideon, Ally of Zendikar -1 Oblivion Ring -1 Oketra the True -1 Oreskos Explorer -1 Serra the Benevolent +1 Binding Mummy +1 Drannith Magistrate +1 Giver of Runes +1...

Apparently I decided to update most of my current EDH decks on this U.S. Memorial Day. Here were the changes for this one... -1 Abundace -1 Ashiok, Dream Render -1 Gitaxian Probe -1 Parasitic Strix -1 Shardless Agent +1 Brainstorm +1 Culling the Weak +1 Demonic Consultation +1 Finale of...

More recently, Loam decks in tournament formats have taken a turn toward blue-heavier builds. And a new card from Theros Beyond Death is a big part of the reason for that... Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath is an amazingly powerful card in its own right. It's seen plenty of success in format with...

Impressed that you remembered! I guess it makes some sense that Apocalypse would have been in your wishboard there. I contend that even if you'd never built a wishboard at all and had just picked any legal sorcery, we'd all have been fine with it. But that does raise the question. Should Tribal...

Oh, have I not covered Wrenn and Six yet? Wrenn and Six is the best! You get a two-mana planeswalker with land recursion that can interact with fetchlands, Wasteland, Strip Mine, Horizon Canopy (and friends), cycling lands, Petrified Field, Crystal Vein, etc. Generally, Wrenn and Six can turn...

New Tribal synergies to look out for Dire Tactics: Just to make sure that Human Tribal gets more options for efficient support spells than any other tribe, since it already has more options for creatures. Kaheera, the Orphanguard: This comes with a whopping five tribal synergies, only two of...

New Tribes Otter: Three cards. So this defaults to Tier 7 for now. Although fans of these furry little vermin can’t really play them as a proper tribe, it shouldn’t matter too much. The two interesting ones are both elementals, so you can just play Elemental Tribal. The other otter doesn’t fit...

Well, this is going to be a big one. I don’t know when we’re going to get our hands on these cards. The current pandemic has messed with Magic set release scheduling. After some consideration, I’m consolidating the reports for Ikoria, Lair of Behemoths and Commander 2020. Looking back on last...

We've established why Life from the Loam is good with lands. With the advent of Thespian's Stage in 2013, various kinds of Dark Depths Combo became a prolific outlet for Life from the Loam. Although the Dark Depths + Thespian's Stage interaction doesn't need Life from the Loam in order to...

Oops, forgot one more thing. There's also this... I am not optimistic about this. And from the reception I've been seeing this announcement get, neither is anyone else. Yikes.

That wouldn't work. That would work, although if Throg used it to imbibe a non-alcoholic beverage, it would turn alcoholic.

Kelgar is only like 95% on autopilot or something! We could ask Melkor if you like. I'm also comfortable just letting you guys decide by consensus or whatever.

No! There's no visible indication. It's just an ominous feeling that you get. :P

Ty finds no enemies, but realizes something about the staircase... The staircase leads to the next deep of the dungeon. Entering it will end "Enchanted Wood" and begin the next chapter: "Desolate Roots."

The door swings open easily. Cautiously, you file into the next room. At the far end of the room is a macabre altar with a staircase behind it, leading down. Tomas scrutinizes the altar with interest. "Well, this looks—wait, nevermind. Now then, there's also, hm, no..." The wizard grows...

So... Anyone gonna do anything here? Forgot I left this thread sitting all week because no one did anything (except Throg taking a grisly trophy, I guess).
