I don't think so. I'm not specifically attached to Grixis. It is one of the stronger three-color combinations in Eternal formats, and I've put some focus on Eternal formats over the years. But given the option, I'd take Sultai as my three-color combination. And when possible, I'd prefer to play...

Scrolls of Azcanta Event Each player draws two cards, then each of your opponents discards two cards.

I don't really have a good sense for the pulse of Standard to comment much on Mike Flores' analysis of Lich's Mastery. And when it comes to formats with larger card pools, as with any new six-mana enchantment, my hopes are tempered with some appreciation for what it takes to make a six-mana...

I would seem to be inconveniently tapped out with no flying blockers. :(

I just want to know whether I'm Darkwing Duck or I'm Negaduck in this scenario!

In my own experience (which is actually considerable because I played my casual Necro-Donate deck for far longer than its lifetime sanctioned tournament formats), the heart of the archetype, whatever name you give it, was the strangely subtle chaining of synergies kickstarted by Necropotence...

As far as Necro-Donate in Extended, this is the point where I get kinda stuck. The question that comes to mind is, "How good was it?" and really, I'm not sure. I haven't seen enough data to paint a clear picture, and testimonial accounts on this strike me as unreliable... Most post-mortem...

Take it.

I've had my eye on this card for a while, but with Psarketos bringing it up in the Necropotence "Magic Memories" thread and posting a link to this Mike Flores article I think this one deserves a single card discussion thread. So here we are... Well, I really like this card. A lot. And while...

Apologies for the minor hiatus. I was working on some unrelated stuff and kinda kept putting this off, much longer than I'd thought I would... -The Power Phase is 6 for this turn. -Throg's Arcane Knowledge gives him +2 Initiative and he can cast Lightning Bolt this turn if he wants to...

Heads it is.

Like I said, I was using the core of Necropotence + Illusions of Grandeur + Donate, but it was in multiplayer and it was part of what was generally a control deck. I was using two copies each of Illusions and Donate, as they weren't the main focus of the deck. I did have some games where the...

With the use of Necropotence to set up combos fresh in deckbuilders' minds on account of Cocoa Pebble and with the obvious interaction between Donate and Illusions of Grandeur, the notion of combining them probably arose in lots of places independently, but the establishment of "Trix" as a...

Well, in addition to Goblin Settler, I suppose that I can check another one off the list. I just played Pack Rat in one of the forum games against Spidey. In that game, it wound up being a 1/1 creature the whole time, but that's beside the point!

Yeah, that was brutal. I figured you were in a bad spot once you used Banisher Priest on Marauder, but I thought maybe you'd get the means to protect the Priest and catch up.

No response.

Proceed to combat damage?

UUD, attack with everything but the Pack Rat. Blocks/responses?

Mark Rosewater has an anecdote about how one of the ProsBloom pioneers (maybe Mike Long, but I forget) directly insisted that R&D must have deliberately built the combo deck when they were designing Mirage/Visions. The way that completely different cards seemed to provide all of the right...
