    August 26, 2019 Banned and Restricted Announcement

    If you are interested in taking multiple steps over time, then why are you now taking multiple steps simultaneously? I'm not particularly sorry to see any of these restrictions, but I'm a bit frustrated to see all of them at once. It's quite possible that restricting just one of these cards...

    August 26, 2019 Banned and Restricted Announcement

    Banned, not restricted. Everyone I know who is into Modern was pretty confident that Hogaak was going to be banned, so this is probably the least surprising part of the announcement. I mentioned in a brief discussion at my LGS that I kind of feel bad for WotC on this one. I mean, Hogaak as a...

    August 26, 2019 Banned and Restricted Announcement

    Like I said, this is easily the most interesting B&R announcement in a long time. I'll offer my exhaustive analysis on it. But first, some preliminary remarks... I am generally happy with these results, unexpected as they are. Mostly step in the right direction, probably. I think that things...

    This is easily the most interesting B&R announcement in a long time, and I have a bunch of thoughts on it. Some things I like a lot and some real qualms too. I'll write some obnoxiously long post later. Maybe. For now, though, I'll just highlight one thing...

    On a more serious note, thanks Ed for keeping this place alive for over 20 years. While it might be a bit much to ask of Ed to find a way to recover the articles, the Waybackmachine archived the front page long after the last time we had a front page update. I checked and I am able to look at...

    Clash Packs Magic Origins: Spidey (Dangerous) vs Oversoul (Armed)

    Totally forgot that I'd already sleeved this one up and that it was sitting in the box from the Armed vs. Armed game. Guess it should be an easy one to start... And I flipped Tails! Drew 7, keep.

    Magic Memories: Aluren

    I guess that describes a lot of cards, but I've noticed that Greater Good really excels in the role. I've been using it more lately and I'm impressed with the results. So, Endless Cockroaches... Well, the card might have been a neat trick, but back when the Aluren deck was successful in...

    Magic Memories: Aluren

    Well, that's an interaction I haven't seen! Greater Good is an interesting card. For how big its effect can be, it seems like its actual usage has generally been subtle. Greater Good is in the unfortunate position of being something like the twentieth-best enchantment in Urza's Saga. Bad break...

    Warhammer Quest: The Sylvan Epic

    Exasperated, Jekaena shouts, "I'm not going to relive this!" She marches down the hall and out of the building. Instantly, she reappears alongside the party. The same elven battlemage approaches in the same place. "Jekaena, there you are! I heard the project was over." Jekaena looks around...

    Magic Memories: Aluren

    Creature-based combos weren't really properly developed in the late 90's. Like a lot of other good cards, especially good combo cards, Aluren was overshadowed by the blue/artifact cartel of "Combo Winter." In hindsight, Aluren would quietly get better with accumulated new printings of cheap...

    Gabriel Voltron [EDH]

    I piloted another Legends commander yesterday. We actually had three on the same day (I played Gabriel Angelfire, Joey played Ragnar, and Ryan played Sol'kanar the Swamp King). I gathered a bunch of cards for a rough concept of this deck, but didn't actually build it as a deck until the...

    Clash Packs Magic Origins: Spidey (Armed) vs Oversoul (Dangerous)

    Good game. Outlast might have paid off better if I hadn't hit that land pocket, but even so, Kytheon's Irregulars is so strong against this deck.
