UUD, Flashback Rolling Temblor and hit Brutalizer Exarch with Burning Vengeance. Responses?

DPS When Magic Origins came out, I was gushing about the "Spell mastery Demonic Tutor." I thought it was the most promising card in the set, and it did find its way into Storm decks. The drawback of needing to pay five mana up front was severe, but if you could do it, you had Demonic Tutor. No...

The Rise and Fall and Rise of Vintage Dredge Most of the Vintage tools for Dredge are the same ones that are available in Legacy, with two all-important distinctions. Firstly, LED is restricted in Vintage, so Dredge decks only have access to a single copy. Secondly, Vintage gets this monster...

The Poor Man's Yawgmoth's Will Version 2.0 I've mentioned the prevalence of the Lion's Eye Diamond + Infernal Tutor interaction in Legacy combo decks. For several years, this was used alongside Ill-Gotten Gains in dedicated Storm combo (ANT and TES) and in specialized Reanimator variants. But...

A budget Jeleva deck! I think I've only seen really fancy Jeleva decks. This one is cheaper than a Standard deck.

UUD, Flashback Think Twice and hit you with Burning Vengeance, Island, Flashback Desperate Ravings and hit you with Burning Vengeance then randomly discard Mountain, Silent Departure on your Spider, done. Spiderman: 7 Hand: 7 Library: 45 Battlefield: (T) Plains (T,T) Forest x2 (T) Razorverge...

Sunny Side Up aka Second Breakfast aka Scrambled Eggs, etc. This one is really obscure, but hey, this is the Casual Players Alliance and not the Mainstream Tournament Deck Alliance. Actually, the deck itself was a tournament deck, but mostly didn't get access to Lion's Eye Diamond. I actually...

UUD, Burning Vengeance, Burning Vengeance, done. Spiderman: 11 Hand: 7 Library: 46 Battlefield: (T) Plains (T,T) Forest x2 (T) Razorverge Thicket (~ ETB tapped unless I control two or fewer other lands.; T: Add W or G to my mana pool) (T) Llanowar Elves (1/1; T: Add G to my mana pool) (S)...

Forbidden Alchemy, putting Slagstorm, Faithless Looting, Geistflame into my graveyard. Faithless Looting discarding Desperate Ravings and Evolving Wilds. Done. Spiderman: 11 Hand: 7 Library: 47 Battlefield: (T) Plains (T,T) Forest x2 (T) Razorverge Thicket (~ ETB tapped unless I control two...

Ad Nauseam Tendrils I once wrote an entire article dedicated to Ad Nauseam. The card has had some impressive applications, all of them in combo decks, and has been especially potent in Legacy, largely thanks to Lion's Eye Diamond and its synergy with Infernal Tutor. Early ANT decks focused on...

That part I bolded was kind of my point. The really big incidents get a lot of news coverage and are sad and all, but if the discussion is gun usage in general or even unjustified, fatal shootings in general, those really big ones are dwarfed by the much more numerous smaller ones, wherever you...

Well, it looks like Bargain did make an appearance in Week 2, albeit a lackluster one. https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/magic-online/vintage-super-league-season-7-decklists#Randy%20BuehlerW2 I didn't watch the matches, but the list looks pretty good. I'll be testing something...

From Forbidden Alchemy I'll put Island, Island, Mountain into my graveyard. Then I'll cast Desperate Ravings, randomly discarding Think Twice. UUD, Mountain, attack with Fettergeist, Responses?

I'll preface this with some stuff because I don't think I qualify as a gun enthusiast, but I am technically a gun owner. I own a single shotgun, which I've actually bothered to take out and fire on a total of two occasions, and so far only with target loads. So my credentials as a gun enthusiast...

EOT Forbidden Alchemy. I'll have to wait until I get back to my desk at home to see which cards get revealed...

The Epic Storm At first, blue/black decks along the lines of IGGy Pop were the default home for Tendrils of Agony in Legacy. Another early Legacy Storm deck, which has been evolving ever since, was "The Epic Storm." A key distinction was that in 2006, three new red cards were released that...

Done. Spiderman: 14 Hand: 5 Library: 50 Battlefield: (U) Plains (U,U) Forest x2 (U) Razorverge Thicket (~ ETB tapped unless I control two or fewer other lands.; T: Add W or G to my mana pool) Graveyard: Attended Knight Exile...

UUD, Island, attack with Fettergeist, blocks/responses?

I hadn't seen that. I like how the person asked why the nagas were on Amonkhet and instead of answering that question, he answered the different question of why there are elves on Kaladesh. I'd ask why there are rakshasas on Tarkir, but I suppose all we'd learn is why they put the aetherborn...
