Well, it's still very early, but MTGO results are coming in and Vintage isn't looking too surprising. Paradoxical Outcome seems prevalent, and I'm still not sure what to make of the card. At least one Bargain deck went 5-0, and even that deck used Paradoxical Outcome. All that's with the caveat...

Nope.

Both schemes are active or "face up." Setting new schemes in motion is independent from the abandonment of schemes that are already face up.

Dear shufflegods, I do not need ten swamps. Nothing in this deck costs ten mana. I have enough land, thank you. Please stop. Spiderman: 20 Hand: 5 Library: 44 Battlefield: (U,U,U,U,U) Plains x5 (U,U) Island x2 (U) Moorland Haunt (T: Add C to my mana pool.; WU, T, Exile a creature from my...

UUD... -2 loyalty to Nicol Bolas and gain control of Sun Titan. Obelisk of Grixis, tap out for Icefall Regent, tapping Fiendslayer Paladin. Attack Spidey with Thragtusk and each of you with the horrors that are required to attack you if able. Blocks/responses?

The card has been fun in Magic Duels, but it really has more potential than that. I've explored some possibilities for casual play. Notably, I don't really think that the Tangleroot idea I noted in my poem is really worth it. The idea is that with free creatures, you can cycle through your deck...

Evolutionary Leap synergizes especially well with the "Fabricate" mechanic from Kaladesh, which is what I use in my Servos deck in the Magic Duels game. Just last night, I was facing a more aggressive deck that was outracing me with the "Exert" creatures from Amonkhet. I was able to block the...

I can't even kill you by dropping this giant pile of swamps onto you from the top of a building because your spider senses would detect it and you'd leap out of the way. And yeah, I've got nothing.

Oh, come on! I shuffled this thing... Spiderman: 20 Hand: 5 Library: 45 Battlefield: (U,U,U,U) Plains x4 (U,U) Island x2 (U) Moorland Haunt (T: Add C to my mana pool.; WU, T, Exile a creature from my graveyard: Create a 1/1 white Spirit creature token w/flying) (U) Gideon's Lawkeeper (1/1...

Do you play Magic Duels? You know, that free-to-play successor to the annual "Duels of the Planeswalkers" series, which itself has been abandoned and might be replaced by the upcoming "Arena" game. If you don't play it, then you should. Or perhaps you should not: it is no longer being supported...

Off the top of my head, the most serious-seeming one before this was when a couple of cards including the new Kozilek were leaked before Oath of the Gatewatch was being spoiled. It was only a few cards, but they had not yet explained the new colorless mana symbol, so that led to speculation...

Done Nicol Bolas, God Emperor of Dune: 36 Hand: 4 Library: 41 Command Zone: *Ongoing Scheme* Bow to My Command: Rokapoke's creatures cannot attack me or planeswalkers I control. At the beginning of my opponents' end step, they may tap any number of creatures with power 8 or greater. If they...

Yeah, that seems like the most sensible course of action for them at this point. I mean, I have never given a crap about "Spoiler Season" and just care that I see all of the cards eventually, not how early before the release of the set or in what order. But some people are actually into that...

So you each take 3, Torchling dies, and Relief Captain dies?

Take it.

UUD, Swamp, done. This is becoming a slow, inexorable death. Spiderman: 20 Hand: 4 Library: 46 Battlefield: (U,U,U,U) Plains x4 (U,U) Island x2 (U) Moorland Haunt (T: Add C to my mana pool.; WU, T, Exile a creature from my graveyard: Create a 1/1 white Spirit creature token w/flying) (U)...

UUD... Rokapoke, your creatures cannot attack me or other me. Melkor, I'll be taking my Thragtusk back (-2 loyalty to Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker). Spidey, I do not distinguish between servants and victims. I cast Slave of Bolas on Torchling. Assuming that all of that goes off without a...

From the moment Evolutionary Leap was spoiled, there were unfavorable comparisons to Survival of the Fittest. So I'll start off by saying that Survival of the Fittest is a more powerful card, that I like it better, it has more useful applications, and I already started a Magic Memories thread...

Seriously. I don't know if you've seen any of the results, but some of the less prominent tournament organizers have put on unsanctioned tournaments where some of the banned list chaff isn't banned. Earthcraft, Frantic Search, and Mind Twist all show up and have been underwhelming. All the ones...

It seems like I've been rather critical of most of these updates (and I think rightfully so). Well, for a change of pace, I'll say that I think this one is pretty good. The thing about Eternal Weekend is awkward, but at least they acknowledged it. They seem to be thinking in practical terms...
