I think just about all of my recollections of Aluren as a card before Planeshift were either creature-based draw engines with Recycle or infinite combo decks with Enduring Renewal. Somewhat frustratingly, those are the two least interesting applications to me for Aluren in an older environment...

Did you figure this part out? If not, PM me and I'll look for it myself. I'm supposed to play one of these new precons in a week or so and I need to learn more about them anyway...

UUD... You've got me. Can't deal with Kytheon's Irregulars.

Take it.

Coming up in October, the group formerly known as Magic of Browns Point (relabeled South Sound Magic) will be running an "Utter Chaos" event, where we build $150-budget Commander decks for other players who pilot. I had the oldest commander in the "Infinite Summer" $200 event, and I thought it...

That's a strange way to put it. Technically none of the cards have been released because the release date for this product is not until Friday next week. But 100% of the cards have been publicly revealed, so you should be able to know what they do... Copy/pasted from MTG Wiki... The new...

Nope.

UUD, Siege Rhino, outlast the Nightblade, done. Spidey: 26 Hand: 2 Library: 41 Battlefield: (U,U,U) Forest x3 (U,U,U,U,U) Plains x5 (U,T) Blossoming Sands (~ ETB tapped.; When ~ ETB, I gain 1 life,; T: Add G or W to my mana pool) x2 Pacifism (Enchanted creature can't attack or block) (U)...

In the mind of most seasoned players, Aluren has become indelibly associated with the "Gating" mechanic from Planeshift, and the association is somewhat deserved. I'll get to that, but not yet. Aluren was part of the game for over three years before "Gating" was, and people did use the card...

UUD, Jungle Hollow, outlast the Nightblade, done. Spidey: 25 Hand: 1 Library: 42 Battlefield: (U,U,U) Forest x3 (U,U,U,U,U) Plains x5 (U) Blossoming Sands (~ ETB tapped.; When ~ ETB, I gain 1 life,; T: Add G or W to my mana pool) Pacifism (Enchanted creature can't attack or block) (U)...

Hoarder dies, Nighthawk dies, You take 3 damage and gain 2 life, I get a Treasure token?

UUD, roll the planar die, CHAOS! Now until someone planeswalks, no one can attack anyone but Spiderman, who also has a strong board position. How interesting. Anyway... Boros Garrison bouncing a Mountain, done. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Command...

"Well, this is all quite strange. I'd have thought that if the book tapped into someone's past, it'd be Carrow because of his link to it. I just hope no one else can see you guys. We're in the Moonspring Glades and outsiders are..." A man recognizable as an elven battlemage shows up behind...

There was some back-and-forth in the first game where I was targeted, but eventually we were kind of working together against the Golos player. In the second game the player with Sisay, Weatherlight Captain beat us both to death before we could do anything. And in the third game I was a punching...

Other than the fact that her foot is seemingly uninjured, she looks younger. Jekaena already looked young anyway and you're not completely sure how much younger she might be in this illusion. She's standing at her full height, which makes her look taller than the version of her you know (hunched...

I was a bit annoyed when I learned that the two weekly rotating point achievements in the West Coast Commander League would be different tribal ones when we already had a monthly point for August for yet another tribe. Deal 10 or more damage with elementals. Control 3 or more creatures in any...

Playing with Aluren in EDH again inspired me to start a Magic Memories thread for the card. I didn't do it at first, but I'm starting one now. I've had a fondness for this card for something like 20 years and I've built decks around it multiple times, but actually I've overall used it much less...

As the bright flash fades, Dorgath, Ty, and Carrow are holding stances ready for combat. Throg seems unfazed. Your surroundings have completely changed. You're in the middle of a great hall in some building you don't recognize. The architecture is ornate, sleek, and expansive. It's unlike...

UUD, Mountain, attack Mooseman with both of my guys. Blocks/responses?

UUD, Mountain, roll the planar die, blank, roll the planar die, blank, roll the planar die, planeswalk to Aygrem, done. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Command Zone: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Spiderman: 18...
