UUD, Mountain, Fanatic of Xenagos. Tribute?

I'll sac the Charging Monstrosaur and the Imperial Aerosaur.

:eek:

While TES has probably been the most consistent niche for Rite of Flame in Legacy, the card has also been used in Belcher decks, especially after Belcher decks evolved to use Empty the Warrens as a secondary kill condition. In contrast to Storm decks, which tend to run tutors and card-drawing...

I've got nothing.

Heir of the Wilds, done. Spidey: 15 Hand: 4 Library: 50 Battlefield: (U) Caves of Koilos (T: Add C to my mana pool.; T: Add W or B to my mana pool. ~ deals 1 dmg to me) (U) Scoured Barrens (~ ETB tapped.; When ~ ETB, I gain 1 life.; T: Add W or B to my mana pool) (T) Plains (U) Tormented...

UUD, Frontier Bivoac, attack with Thunderbreak Regent. Blocks/responses?

Block Sailor of Means with Charging Monstrosaur. Block Dire Fleet Hoarder #2 with Dinosaur token.

Oops. Uh, no responses to declaration of attackers. Move to declare blockers?

UUD, Forest, Thunderbreak Regent, done. Spidey: 19 Hand: 6 Library: 51 Battlefield: (T) Caves of Koilos (T: Add C to my mana pool.; T: Add W or B to my mana pool. ~ deals 1 dmg to me) (T) Scoured Barrens (~ ETB tapped.; When ~ ETB, I gain 1 life.; T: Add W or B to my mana pool) (U)...

In a Storm deck or other deck that aims to cast multiple copies of Rite of Flame, the synergy with cards that let the card be recast from the graveyard is profound. In Vintage particularly, the power of Dark Ritual as a mana-production engine with Yawgmoth's Will is well-known. TES achieves a...

Thread necromancy! Hey, this thread's corpse was practically still fresh... So I've probably reopened the old wounds of the Legacy banning of Survival of the Fittest more than anyone else on the planet, even though I didn't originally set out to do that, but I keep circling back around to the...

Anyway, an interesting play that has been part of the TES toolbox is to use Infernal Tutor on Rite of Flame as setup for a kill. Ordinarily, Infernal Tutor is paired with Lion's Eye Diamond. But if you don't have it and can't achieve Hellbent, fetching another copy of the mana accelerant that...

Not helping, Cardboard Crack!

And then you cast Bloodsoaked Champion, right?

UUD, Mountain, Elvish Mystic, done. Spidey: 19 Hand: 6 Library: 52 Battlefield: (T) Caves of Koilos (T: Add C to my mana pool.; T: Add W or B to my mana pool. ~ deals 1 dmg to me) (T) Tormented Hero (2/1; ~ ETB tapped.; Heroic-Whenever I cast a spell that targets ~, Oversoul loses 1 life...

It's all relative. Compared to Kelgar, Tomas has equal Weapon Skill, equal Strength, and equal Toughness, but Kelgar does wear armor. They both get 1D6 for damage on their attacks and they both have 2 Attacks, so most of the difference will be in their weapons. However, Kelgar's Ring of Command...

Spiderman pointed out that Jekaena has been accompanying the party for a while in our long "The Sylvan Epic" adventure, but that her actual character sheet isn't in this thread, where it'd be easier to reference than buried within the 60 or so pages of that adventure thread. This oversight is...

The Epic Storm is probably my favorite Legacy deck. And it's been a small part of the format since 2006, so it's undergone some substantial changes. The only truly consistent features over time have been... Dark Ritual, Lotus Petal, Rite of Flame, and Chrome Mox as mana accelerants. The Lion's...

Since Rokapoke remains indefinitely elusive, and since this isn't happening on a tabletop and not everything is necessarily clear on this medium, I should just note... Tomas is, relative to the rest of the party, mediocre in melee combat, although if he had to, he could close some of the...
