This is the fifth Canadian Highlander deck I've put together so far, but on the second one I'm posting in the decks forum because one abandoned the day after I built it and two were "netdecked." TappedOut link. Decklist (version 1.0) 1x Abyssal Gatekeeper 1x Academy Rector 1x Anafenza...

What would opponents use against Necropotence? As usual, it depends on how things develop... Bearing in mind that Necropotence was initially held in check by Black Vise, it's noteworthy that there's a "new" one-mana artifact that potentially hurts Necropotence even more. Pithing Needle shuts...

For some reason, I was sure that you could do that, but I just checked and it appears that you can't. Huh. I guess I was thinking of Two-Headed Giant and Archenemy is actually "Team vs. Team." Or something. Oops. And by now I've totally forgotten if this has come up before... :confused...

I'm going to look at some cards that weren't printed until after Necropotence was banned/restricted pretty much everywhere. I want to consider a balanced mixture of cards that would play well with Necropotence and cards that might matter for opponents trying to beat a hypothetical updated Necro...

There are three different Horror tokens attacking.

Proceed. But you're not supposed to use teamwork!

No, no, that's the other article I submitted. The one wherein I conclude that Wizards should be banned from tribal games due to the awesome power of Wizard's Lightning. :p

Did you forget about this? Because I did! I remembered it again just now...

Next turn... -The Power Phase is 5. -Jekaena continues to struggle in vain against the webbing. -Tomas casts Life Force on Dorgath. -Dorgath clobbers the last gigantic spider as soon as Throg's ice prison on it wears off. -Kelgar blesses Tomas (21/21) and Carrow (12/17) with Power of Sigmar...

Well, I'll scry twice and I have to wait until I get back home to see what's on top, but that doesn't affect the board. Nothing further from me. Hoplite gets a +1/+1 counter, Marauder dies, Militant dies, Shred-Freak dies, and you get two tapped 2/2 zombie tokens?

Gods Willing on Battlewise Hoplite

Block Marauder with Hoplite, block Shred-Freak with Militant.

When it comes to cards that have been banned or restricted from environments where they were once used extensively, and the game has changed so much since then, I often find the hypotheticals, the prospects for these cards to be what I'd call "interesting." We never really know what might have...

That about wraps it up for Necropotence in Vintage. The format continues to evolve, but most of that doesn't involve Necropotence. The types of decks that run Necropotence don't really command a sufficient share of the metagame to influence the shifts that Vintage has been experiencing. The...

-Attack Spidey with Vampire Nighthawk and Horror token (mandated to attack him). -Attack TomB with Horror token (mandated to attack him). -Attack Gideon Jura with Archfiend of Depravity and Horror token.

Oh well. Baleful Strix, Highland Lake. Move to Declare Attackers?

Nope. Skyknight dies.

None of those are lands!

I've got mixed feelings about the changes. Personally, I am not a fan of planeswalkers as commanders. But I also understand that once Dominaria leaves Standard there won't be such a rich array of legendary creatures for the format. And if planeswalkers as commanders is going to be an important...

Plains, Dryad Militant, done. Spidey: 12 Hand: 2 Library: 49 Battlefield: (T,T,T,U,U) Swamp x5 (T) Rakdos Shred-Freak (Human Berserker; 2/1; Haste) (T) Xathrid Necromancer (Human Wizard; 2/2; Whenever ~ or another Human creature I control dies, put a 2/2 black Zombie creature token onto...
