Kelgar ascends with no trouble. He remains unable to heal himself while the magical doldrum is in effect. The fall hurt him, but his movement and vision appear to be unimpaired.

Without Kelgar? Man, I don't know if this party can survive with two Throg-like personalities? :p

Bump for me to stop being lazy and dig this deck out to sleeve it up. I haven't forgotten, but I haven't been home as much as I'd thought. Will get started soonish.

Next turn... -The Power Phase is 2. But the magical doldrum blocks all spellcasting anyway.

-Carrow swings his sword around and around. -Revaethan uses Woven Mist. He gets 6 combined Move/Attacks this turn. -Revaethan slashes Branchwraith #2 (23/30). -Revaethan swings and misses. -Revaethan clips Branchwraith #2 (20/30). -Revaethan's sword passes harmlessly through his ethereal foe...

I had creatures, but someone blew them all up.

Phyrexian mana gets a lot of grief as a mechanic, and I do think it has a very limited scope as to how much it could really be used and still make for interesting gameplay. There are multiple factors at play here and it might not be possible to disentangle that mess. For one thing, a lot of...

Hey, remember when I activated Evolutionary Leap against Spiderman like eight times in one game for tons of insurmountable card advantage? http://casualplayers.org/forums/threads/event-decks-spidey-wrath-of-the-mortals-vs-oversoul-ultimate-sacrifice.17353/ I do! Uh, now we're switching...

Good game. Now I guess I'd better hope you don't also draw an early Leap! :eek:

Cast another Bone Splinters, sacrificing Eldrazi Scion and targeting your Elemental token. Swing with Hangarback Walker for 3?

There is a point in all of this, which I'd planned on when I started the thread. Took me long enough to get to it, but whatever... I admitted at the outset that Tolarian Academy was a mistake. I actually went a step further than that. When it comes to broken cards, Tolarian Academy isn't just...

Tolarian Academy has been something of a fixture in Vintage this whole time. Much like Sol Ring or the original Moxen, it is a kind of hyperefficient mana source, so restricting it doesn't really stop it from appearing in decks. In Vintage, most optimal decks run several cheap artifacts, so...

UUD, Blisterpod, Bone Splinters sacrificing Blisterpod and targeting Young Pyromancer. Responses?

Yeah, guess I'd better. Sac Rot Shambler to Evolutionary Leap, reveal Swamp, Swamp, Evolving Wilds, Blisterpod, put Blisterpod into my hand.

Uh, if I sac the Shambler to Evolutionary Leap, you don't get to scry... :confused:

Done. Spidey: 2 Hand: 2 Library: 42 Battlefield: (T,T,T) Mt x3 (T,T,U) Island x3 (T) Izzet Guildgate (~ ETB tapped.; T: Add U or R to my mana pool) Graveyard: Divination, Lightning Strike, Magma Jet, Guttersnipe, Anger of the Gods, Spellheart Chimera, Young Pyromancer, Flames of the...

That's 4. Cast Rot Shambler, sac an Eldrazi Scion for mana, bottom the card from the scry and put a +1/+1 counter on Rot Shambler, sac an Eldrazi Scion for mana, scry...what's this? Hm... ...leave the card on top and put a counter on Rot Shambler, sac Catacomb Sifter to Evolutionary Leap and...

For future generations, OK mostly just me, you might be wondering, "Why was Oversoul such a dumb, dumb dummy? The answer is a little weird. First off, I vaguely recalled (correctly?) that I didn't want to Evolutionary Leap away the top card of my library, but I couldn't remember what it was. And...

I've mostly talked about decks with four copies of Tolarian Academy. Of course, for most of the game's history, the card has been confined to environments where it is restricted. Academy is banned in EDH, but is available as a singleton in Vintage and in some other Highlander formats. Lately...

Woo hoo, I won another game. Against Grixis Time Vault. Again. :rolleyes: Played a single game of Canadian Highlander after the M19 prerelease yesterday. It got very grindy and I had him down to 3 life, but he was able to get Tasigur and Keranos, to keep me from having attackers to force the...
