My plans have been thwarted somewhat because I thought my internet would already be set up at my new place but it's not going to be installed until next week. I've already switched over to Google Drive for most of the Warhammer Quest stuff, so it shouldn't be too hard to get back to this...

There's certainly more to talk about, but I should note an amusing Dream Halls + Conflux kill pile I saw. Some chaff card would be pitched to cast Conflux, which would tutor up Beacon of Immortality, a counterspell, False Cure, and two five-color cards. The extra five-color cards would be...

I mentioned the Mark Rosewater article about design mistakes. Despite his concerns that Dream Halls circumventing mana costs affected design space for very expensive spells, WotC had already gone on to design both very expensive spells... ...and new options to circumvent mana costs...

Came across this interesting (and quite long) article by Stephen Menendian: http://www.eternalcentral.com/history-of-vintage-schools-of-magic-an-alternative-history-of-the-banned-and-restricted-list/ While I'm not a fan of the article's overall format, it has some great insights and...

Well, I should finish my turn, but currently my Magic cards are still packed up and I can't remember exactly what I was going to do next. I'll probably get on this soon, though, maybe. Potentially. It's a thing that could happen. It's not out of the realm of possibility! Anyway, I don't think...

You descend the staircase. The material of the walls and the steps shifts from dark, brown wood to a hard, translucent material. Pulses of light, too dim and too brief to fully illuminate your path, shoot through the strange substance... An Unexpected Event occurs! Time Rip: due to a warp in...

The Sylvan Epic Part 5: Enchanted Wood -Throg's Axe of Mighty Striking resets. -Throg's Chalice of Night resets (6 charges for this deep) -Throg's Mark of Chaos resets. -Throg's Warp Magic gives him one use of the "Dazzle" spell for this deep (Choose a target. For the rest of the turn, all...

Alright, so I'm assuming right now it's... Carrow and Ty (point) Revaethan and Dorgath (second line) Tomas and Jekaena (inner line) Kelgar and Throg (rear guard) You can switch around more if you want, but we'll get started...

UUD, Swamp, attack Spidey with Child of Night. Blocks/responses?

I've been meaning to dig up an old decklist I think I still have from Apprentice. Should do that at some point... When I first joined the CPA, Dream Halls was restricted in Vintage and was generally set aside as a broken card that wasn't suitable for normal gameplay. It was completely unplayed...

It's your funeral!

Take it. Taunt you that your efforts are misplaced and Melkor is probably going to murder you before/after he kills me. :p

That's everybody!

Take it.

It's narrow. Got to go back to 2-wide for now. What order?

You find a gaping passage in the side of the great tree. The space within crackles with a faint purplish glow. There appears to be a smooth wooden staircase descending into the darkness.

Generally, I agree. There are probably four or five banned cards in Legacy that could all be used as a showcase for the negligent and ignorant attitude of WotC toward the format, and each one has some nuance in the way it makes the point. The reason I chose Earthcraft a few years ago is that...

EOT activate Evolving Wilds for a Mountain. UUD, Spire of Industry, Heart of Kiran, done. Spidey: 19 Hand: 5 Library: 51 Battlefield: (T) Swamp (T) Forest (S) Longtusk Cub (2/2; Whenever ~ deals combat dmg to a player, I get EE (two energy ctrs).; Pay EE: Put a +1/+1 ctr on ~) Graveyard...

Half the reason I didn't just make a tier called "garbage bucket" and throw almost everything below Tier 4 into it is that I figured doing so would be like lighting a beacon to have Psarketos show up and construct viable decks out of the tribes I labelled garbage. :p
