Wow, this is great! I thought it entirely reasonable that Ed would need to resort to some old backed-up version of the forums from last year or whatever. I had just started the process of hunting for my own personal backups of some of the stuff I spent considerable time on, such as the Tribal...
Alright, this is totally the result of some hack/shenanigans/nefariousness. Spidey emailed me and confirmed this. Sent a PM to Ed. If anyone else happens along with any bright ideas, well, go for it?
I was weirded out to see that Spiderman is ostensibly a "guest" here. Wondered what happened to his account. Then I saw that the same issue also seems to be affecting TomB.
What is going on?
The Loam + cycling land engine is good on its own, but there is a card that turns it into something explosive in a land-heavy deck...
Before the advent of LftL, Manabond wasn't a particularly valued card. I remember seeing the occasional casual experiment with it, but nothing that had any...
Yeah, it's definitely affected things over here. Schools shutting down, etc. Now, where I work, the academic side of the campus is only a portion of our operations. We still have plenty of people using hazardous chemicals, so I've been keeping busy.
You know what creature is good with lots of lands in your graveyard?
Knight of the Reliquary has been a Loam staple, one that defines some archetypes, since Shards of Alara. It has two abilities and both of them synergize with the Life from the Loam engine. A three-drop that requires white and...
This is getting out of hand. Ignoring the nonsense with the "Conspiracy" card type (WotC started listing them as officially banned after they came out with the card type, but the cards are non-functional anyway and I can't think of a good reason to ban them), the Legacy Banned List is now...

Untap, upkeep, reveal Taurean Mauler and put it on the battlefield, draw, Forest, Rampant Growth grabbing another Forest, roll the planar die, blank, attack Spidey with Flamekin Harbinger, blocks/responses?
Yet again, I became distracted and failed to have a new deck ready for the West Coast Commander League before today. Worse yet, I was up late last night (long D&D session) and slept in. I thought it was still fine, but then after breakfast I realized that I'd neglected to factor in Daylight...
I broke my own rule and built my West Cost Commander League deck the morning of the event again. Shame on me. My excuse this time is a combination of "I was working on a Canadian Highlander deck the day before" and "I didn't know what the monthly points for March would be until the day before."...
This was an experimental Canadian Highlander concept, but I'm shelving it for now. Bad timing took this up to 12 points just two days after I built it. Also, it was way too slow and would need a lot of work to be remotely viable. Oh well.
Internally, I kind of debated whether to even post this...
