By coincidence, I just had this "I can't believe it's not legendary" thing come up in a game yesterday! My copy of Library of Alexandria has been dwelling in my "Colored Spells are for Nerds" Canadian Highlander deck, and in one game, I got Mishra's Workshop, Library of Alexandria, Vesuva, and...

Tomas: "Who am I focusing on healing here? Kelgar's Ring of Jade whiffed this round. But anyone can use any healing items ordinarily available, on top of 26 points of healing distributed however you guys like. I'll roll for the Power Phase once that part is decided. Also, for ease of...

-Throg's Ice Missile flies too high. -Throg fails to hypnotize anything. -Throg catches the troll alongside Tomas with his axe (23/30). -Throg grabs the troll and sinks his fangs into it (17/30). -Throg hacks into the troll again (12/30). -Throg chops a third time (8/30). -Throg kicks at a...

It says, "up to two." So you could choose zero.

Version 6.0: The Monster is back! Um, more to follow. When I feel like it. Looking at this list, you might think, "But Oversoul, that's a completely different deck." And yes, I kinda is. But also, this is the best deck name ever and I'm not letting it go. Long live Gitrog County Municipal Lake...

Good game. Dictate of Heliod is overpowered in a slower-paced environment like this. Had it in my opening hand and when I saw that you hadn't been able to take over the board, I had a feeling it'd be potent. Well, that's all of the Event decks (except the Modern one). But we could continue...

Note to self: after Throg's spell, Tomas and Kelgar combined roll enough to fully heal each other. Should have just checked on that yesterday. Oops. Distribute gold accordingly... You move further along the path. River trolls are a distinct breed of troll. Their skin emits a noxious miasma...

Done after that. Ouch. Well, coffin's not nailed down just yet but you need something big to turn it around... Spidey: 4 Hand: 3 Library: 45 Battlefield: (U,U) Mt x2 (U,T) Forest x2 (U) Frontier Bivouac (~ ETB tapped.; T: Add G, U or R to my mana pool) (U) Frontier Bivouac (~ ETB tapped.; T...

UUD, Spirit Bonds, Oreskos Swiftclaw, make a spirit token. Attack with Seeker of the Way. Blocks/responses? Spidey: 12 Hand: 3 Library: 45 Battlefield: (U,U) Mt x2 (U,T) Forest x2 (U) Frontier Bivouac (~ ETB tapped.; T: Add G, U or R to my mana pool) (U) Frontier Bivouac (~ ETB tapped.; T...

Nothing imperative is going on so you could use it at any point until next turn, when Kelgar is actually back up with the rest of the party and ready to depart. Right now Ty is lowering a rope and Dorgath is nibbling on stonebread, but everyone else is free to take some other action... You...

I don't know how many bazaars are in Baghdad today, but my inference was that the one depicted on the Magic card was supposed to be the original one from the early construction of the city. I'd guess that there are now probably several libraries in Alexandria, Egypt. Priorities! :p

Enough about the real Library of Alexandria. One of the most striking details about the card, a factor that is eminently important in the card's place, but virtually unexplored by players across all formats, is something that card does not have. What's missing? The "legendary" supertype. I've...

Yeah, it's tapped. No blocks. I go to 31 on my upkeep from Herald of Torment's ability. Will see what I draw this evening...

Done. Spidey: 12 Hand: 3 Library: 47 Battlefield: (U,U) Mt x2 (T) Forest (U) Frontier Bivouac (~ ETB tapped.; T: Add G, U or R to my mana pool) (T) Frontier Bivouac (~ ETB tapped.; T: Add G, U or R to my mana pool) (S) Elvish Mystic (1/1; T: Add G to my mana pool) Graveyard: Evolving...

UUD, Bestow Herald of Anguish Torment onto Seeker of the Way. Then if that resolves I'll try to live the dream and swing in for 8 flying lifelink damage... I do not know why I keep trying to type "Herald of Anguish." I know it's the more recent card and all, but I don't think I've ever even...

Hold on. Prowess trigger and Dictate of Heliod would make Seeker of the Way a 5/5, not a 4/4. So if nothing else changed, it would survive combat with Polis Crusher and I would gain 5 life. And also, Dictate of Heliod would remain on the battlefield, not go to my graveyard (Polis Crusher didn't...

The original Library of Alexandria, the real one that inspired the card, is famous for having burned down and for the supposed loss of much of the world's most valuable written records at the time. That's how the story goes, and as sad stories go, it's a good one. Some sources attributed the...

Isn't that exactly the same as if the player with The Mending of Dominaria had an empty library anyway? You'd still get a Reanimate out of Chapter I and Chapter II, assuming that you had a way to avoid losing from trying to draw from an empty library. Not sure what you guys do about Chapter III...

Block with Seeker of the Way, then flash in Dictate of Heliod.

Finger of Life: Targets a single Warrior. Roll 1D6. On a 4,5, or 6, restore that many Wounds.
