Bone Picker, Nightscape Familiar, done. And I'll update the board later this morning.

Fireheart dies, Thragtusk dies, Mummy dies, Horror dies, Crumbling Necropolis gets a blaze counter, I get a 3/3 green Beast token, I draw 3 cards from Harvester (once I get home). You each take 3. Look right?

Move to combat damage?

These days, LED is almost always used in interactions with cards that didn't exist before its big breakthrough. I've established that I think the card was always good, even before 2003. So my thesis could be that the card was a diamond in the rough (Oversoul wins at puns and is not sorry). The...

Island, Harvester of Souls, -2 loyalty on Other Me to rightfully steal back what Rokapoke kidnapped from me (Rokapoke's Sun Titan), attack Melkor with the Horror that is mandated to attack him, attack Rokapoke with the Horror that is mandated to attack him, and attack Spidey with Thragtusk, the...

—Rich Lipman, InQuest Magazine. Well, I guess it's obvious that times have changed. LED is by far the most sought-after card in Mirage, worth more than all of the other rares combined. It isn't the only card to ever be undervalued on its initial release and to become a powerhouse later...

With Thawing Glaciers banned, perhaps this baby could be the premier land-finder... Behold, the most broken card in Ice Age Block...

UUD... Face-up pile is Vampire Nighthawk and Swamp. Face-down pile is a secret.

Flipped tails. Hopefully it's time for some sweet revenge! No mulligan here. Island, go. Spiderman: 20 Hand: ? Library: ? Battlefield: Graveyard: Exile: ==================================================================================================== Oversoul: 20 Hand: 6 Library: 53...

Well, I was doing one of these threads covering another zero-drop artifact, Zuran Orb, and it got me thinking about my favorite zero-drop artifact of all time: Black Lotus Mana Crypt Mox Sapphire Spellbook Ornithopter Lion's Eye Diamond. But seriously, I love the card. Also, this one gets really...

With the other cards I've written about so far, if they were banned or restricted, I tried to analyze the decision. Well, I didn't really say much about the Dark Ritual ban, but that's a tricky one. For Survival of the Fittest, Yawgmoth's Bargain, and Fluctuator, though, I think I got to the...

-A hobgoblin hacks at Throg, but can't land a hit because of how dazzlingly shiny he is. -Another hobgoblin tries, but also fails to make it through Throg's glittery distraction. -A hobgoblin smacks Revaethan (17/18). -A hobgoblin strikes at Revaethan, but the wardancer redirects the blow with...

UUD, and that's it. I'm out of effects that would stop any flying attackers, and you'd be able to swing for 3 in the air. It's been a long time since I've seen any deck perform so poorly as this one did. What a terrible heap of trash. What's next on the agenda? I'm eager to play something that...

In what has become a typical fashion, I'll turn to the card that I keep mentioning in every thread: Necropotence. When it comes to playing Magic with Necropotence, one thing that is easily noticeable but not usually discussed is that you tend to hit every land drop. That's actually a pretty nice...

Hobgoblins get an automatic ambush that takes priority over magic, but I was too lazy to roll for their pitiful attacks yet. I suppose that you'd want to know what the Power Phase is before you decide what you're doing, so it was silly of me not to at least throw the number up there before...

Some great classic creatures in there. Although if we dip into those sets for attackers, we also get even more powerful ways for control decks to neutralize them, such as the The Abyss, which you mentioned. Notably, Erhnam Djinn played nicely with Zuran Orb, and was one of the most efficient...

No map yet. Sorry. You proceed along the the right side of the fork. The trail here seems easy and almost pleasant. So of course some monsters ambush you. Twelve hobgoblins ambush the party.

Nah. I mean, maybe. I think there's a real chance of that being the case, but we'll see. It has been putting up some results on MTGO, but it's too early to tell (doesn't help that WotC clamped down on the access to MTGO results data). It has advantages and disadvantages over dedicated...

Bah, there's no Yawgmoth's Bargain in there!

For now (and indefinitely, really), if you want to do a front page article, getting in touch with Spiderman seems to be the only viable option. The old article and article comment setup was getting bombarded with spam.
