Even before the announcement, this Twitter stuff was getting some attention... https://twitter.com/mtgaaron/status/985674571188588544 I find this frustrating for a few reasons... "Pillar of the format" was slang from the website TheManaDrain used to categorize competitive decks based on the...

No changes to any format (of course).

OK, I've probably put off talking about "Trix" for long enough. I've been mulling this over, and while I can cover the important details historically, I am really not sure how to interpret this or state what it means for Necropotence. I guess I'll just have to start at the beginning and go...

You've got me: Lich's Mastery is one of the cards I'm most excited for in Dominaria. As with most of the rest of the set, I wish it had 2 mana clipped from its cost (it would not be broken at 1BBB and would stand a better chance at seeing popular gameplay than the original Lich), but that's how...

I'll have Marauder give my whole team Haste and Intimidate. Swing with everything for 7 damage. Responses?

Doom Blade on Banisher Priest.

Better him than me!

Ah yes, and my spells need to be in my graveyard, of course. Nicol Bolas, God Emperor of Dune: 42 Command Zone: Bow to My Command (Melkor's creatures can't attack me or my planeswalkers. At the beginning of my opponents' end step, they may tap any number of untapped creatures they control with...

To everyone's surprise, twelve gigantic spiders swarm through the canopy to attack you!

Done. Nicol Bolas, God Emperor of Dune: 42 Command Zone: Bow to My Command (Melkor's creatures can't attack me or my planeswalkers. At the beginning of my opponents' end step, they may tap any number of untapped creatures they control with total power 8 or greater. If they do, abandon this...

UUD, Swamp, Ultimate Price on Banisher Priest. Responses?

Unwitting Accomplice Event Gain control of target creature until end of turn. Untap that creature. It gains haste until end of turn.

I assume that this is fake anyway. Not the part about a Black Lotus getting destroyed, because obviously that does happen. I just mean the part about "Ford Escape enthusiast" being a real thing. :p

Never! They shall stand forever as a testament to the glory that is the Modern format. Uh, where was I? Vintage? No? Oh wait, it wasn't Vintage yet because until 2004, the format was officially "Type 1" and was sometimes denoted in official media as "Classic." Same format, though. Ye olde...

No, it was in the thread Shabbaman started about the CPA getting a nod from Abe Sargent at the site Gathering Magic. As far as our Tribal Wars games went, I never felt like they got even close to having the problem of devolving into generic midrange grinds. People were always trying to do...

I knew at one point I'd said something kinda-sorta about this topic, but I couldn't remember where. Well, this morning it dawned on me. Here's what I was thinking about...

UUD, Concentrate, Island, Deeproot Warrior, done. Melkor: 12 Command Zone: Jade Reflection (Quest: When you cast your next instant or sorcery spell, copy that spell, and you may choose new targets for the copy) High and Dry, Pirate's Market (Site: At the beginning of your end step, you may...

UUD... Let's go with Melkor. Cinder Barrens, Dreadbore on Aerial Responder, Lightning Bolt on Battle-Rattle Shaman. Attack each opponent with respective horror tokens and attack Spiderman with Icefall Regent and Vampire Nighthawk. Blocks/responses?
