Vintage is, inherently, a fast format. If you want to survive, you'd better be doing something and doing it quickly, whether it's killing your opponent before he can kill you or setting up defenses that can stop your opponent from doing just that. In 2004, Trinisphere hit Vintage like a ton of...

One of the topics that's been on my mind, but which I haven't gone into at great length (yet), is the tendency in "new" sets to sacrifice potential gameplay elements on the altar of fine-tuning the booster draft experience. I have some trepidation on this matter because I don't want to hate on...

Shenanigans... So, let's say that I am the humble proprietor of an international business involved in the sale of cardboard rectangles and cardboard rectangle accessories. We'll call my little venture, um, Moon Village Games. Seems like a good name. Now, we at Moon Village Games have taken an...

The pirates in Ixalan use the Raid mechanic (previously used in Khans of Tarkir for the Mardu Horde). I was making a cheeky multiplayer-politics comment that you just gave the player with all the "my cards do extra stuff if I attacked with a creature this turn" a free, expendable attacker. :p

I wonder if MM will use the saproling to trigger Raid...

Not from Commander decks, but I accomplished the feat with some cards I had lying around...

I thought about responding to Shabbaman's post by doing that in English, but I don't have enough Commander decks to pull it off. I should really get going with finishing the two new ones I'm working on. They'll be extremely obnoxious if they work as intended...

As promised...

UUD, Forest, and I'll explore the tile to the right of the one Melkor unlocked. Bad cellphone pic of the map to follow. Sails Unfurled Quest The next creature that enters the battlefield under your control enters with an additional +1/+1 counter on it, and gains haste until end of turn...

Cannons to Port Quest The next time you deal combat damage to the player on your left, draw a card.

When Legacy was a brand new format, one of the things that I was worried about was that some old, expensive cards not on the Ban List would take over the format and make it too expensive for most players. The cards I had in mind were things like Moat, The Abyss, Nether Void, and Candelabra of...
