I was introduced to an hour-long video created by Messrs “The Nitpicking Nerds” covering the best cards for EDH from every Magic set to release new cards into the game. If these guys had merely selected their #1 pick from each set, I wouldn’t be commenting on it now. But they also threw in some...

I think one of the documents I linked to earlier mentioned it, but one of the most controversial cards as far as moralizing outrage has been Triumph of Ferocity. Personally, I think WotC did nothing wrong on this one, but it drew way more online complaints than most of the Salty Seven ever...

I knew I needed to post an updated map. Oops. Anyway, the one Ty eliminated was the last one. They're all gone now. On the upside, I do like that magic armor I randomly rolled for that last wight lord. I'll have to remember that one. 😈 Dorgath wasn't boxed in. The wights adjacent to him by that...

Next round... -The Power Phase is 6 for this turn. The Winds of Magic coalesce eerily around Throg, as arcane knowledge rushes into his mind again. It's as though he rolled so super-well on this that something unusual is happening. Throg feels as though some deranged intelligence in another...

I've decided that once I get the unsorted Magic cards put away, I'm going to take one of the tables I've cleared off and set it up for a Warhammer Quest board I can just snap pictures of and upload them to the Discord. The way we're going now, I keep forgetting to make updated board displays...

I mean, maybe? Let's say you're playing a mill deck. What number do you choose for this card? and let's say you're playing against a mill deck. What number do you choose then?

While we're here, I'll note that it's now $225. I blame people catching on that it's good in EDH. Anyway, I was about to post about the new "Wheel of Misfortune" card in the Underworld Dreams thread, but really, it's a better fit here. Earlier, I talked about Wheel knockoffs and how none of...

I do find that Invocation art bland, but I also still dislike the Fifth Edition art that keeps showing up on reprints, foil or not. I've found it kind of weird. The use of the Ken Meyer Jr. art in Tempest Remastered and the Tom Fleming art in Duel Decks: Phyrexia vs. The Coalition would seem to...

In discussions of the history of tournament Magic, I've often seen the "Prosperous Bloom" deck from around the time I started playing described as a kind of genesis of true combo decks in tournament play, completing the trinity of Aggro/Control/Combo. It's obvious that aggro decks and control...

That's because the turn structure is like this... 1. Power Phase 2. Exploration Phase 3. Warriors Phase 4. Monsters Phase 5. End Phase By the time it was Ty's chance to move and attack in the initiative order, all of the monsters adjacent to him had been wiped out. In order to attack, he'd...

Next round... -The Power Phase is 6 for this turn. -Throg's head fills with arcane knowledge. His Initiative score is 10 for this turn and he may cast the Iron Skin spell (target Warrior gets +2 Toughness this turn).

-Dorgath's Lifestone of Ashraz heals him (19/25). -Dorgath's axe also heals him slightly (20/25). -Tomas draws 2 points of Power from his Chalice of Sorcery. -Tomas casts Ogre Strength on Carrow three times (+6 Strength this turn). -Kelgar blesses Carrow and Throg with Vanquish. They get +1...

So this thing was spoiled recently... Opposition Agent 2B Creature — Human Rogue Flash You control your opponents while they’re searching their libraries. While an opponent is searching their library, they exile each card they find. You may play those cards for as long as they remain exiled...

Slight correction: these are Grave Guards, but they're the upgraded version of that kind of undead, called "Crypt Keepers." Whatever. They're skeletons. They have magic weapons and armor too. So take that.

Of course. Noted. They're skeletal, but different from the last ones, as though some mysterious entity thought that you went through the previous skeletons too quickly and decided to upgrade the ones generated by the Unexpected Event by scrolling through the a list of undead monsters and...
