Spidey hasn't made one of these threads yet. Usually he does it, but it looks like this time I'm beating him to the punch. https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/august-28-2017-banned-and-restricted-announcement-2017-08-28 Thorn of Amethyst and Monastery Mentor are restricted in...

-Three snotlings ambush Ty, battering him for 5 Wounds. -Five snotlings ambush Carrow, battering him for 2 Wounds. -Tomas kills all five goblins with his Freeze! spell. -Jekaena casts Finger of Life on Ty, prodding him back to 10 Wounds. -Kelgar fails to bless anything. -Carrow's deathblow cuts...

I mean, people were talking about it a bit and Stephen Menendian advocated for it, but I'm honestly surprised. Digging my Bargains out of my collection and sleeving them up first thing when I get home this evening. Mental Misstep is going to be annoying to contend with and I loathe the card, but...

"Wow," I told myself, "you really did blather on a lot about Yawgmoth's Bargain." "Yes," I admitted, "it is sort of the most iconic combo deck enchantment ever. I like enchantments, I'm a combo fanatic. Also, it's a card that has had some personal significance for me: it was the centerpiece of...

Reminder to myself to get to this tonight. If I don't hear from Rokapoke, I'll assume that Tomas is doing the same thing as last turn...

I'll do some digging through my collection. I probably have the cards. Just need to gather them up and sleeve them. It's been more of a "think it would be cool to have an Old School deck" thing than a "motivated to find others who want to play Old School" thing. I don't really know other people...

Yep, so Vizier of Deferment dies, Forest dies and goes back to Melkor's hand, Vastwood Zendikon dies, I take 5, Horror token blocking Pathmaker Initiate dies, Beast token blocking Thragtusk dies, Pathmaker Initiate dies, and Thragtusk survives combat?

Reckless Spite on the Forest and the Vizier.

I'll block the Pathmaker Initiate with my Horror token and the Thragtusk with my Beast token.

Or wait, it occurs to me now that you could also mean to ask if I have responses before moving to the Declare Attackers step, rather than during the Declare Attackers step but before you've actually declared any attackers. I initially thought that you were saying you were already in Declare...

Uh, I didn't think I even got priority at this point. :confused:

In terms of my "ABC's of combo" Yawgmoth's Bargain lends itself mostly toward Pattern B, but its effect of drawing lots of cards is so powerful that it has some crossover with Pattern A and Pattern C approaches. If that sentence sounds too much like me blathering in my own made up jargon, I'll...

Ew. A land? I can't do anything about that! I guess my Strix can't block.

Well, well, look who has a board now.

Counters for all!

It resolves.

I've got nothing.

Done. :( Spiderman: 20 Hand: 4 Library: 47 Battlefield: (U,U,U) Plains x3 (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; W, T: Tap target creature) (T)...

Owing to circumstances, my previous post is a bit of a rushed mess, but I'm not going to fix it, so there. Nothing to do with Bargain, but since I brought up the proportion thing, I should note that it's an often overlooked consideration in Commander. Your life total doubles from 20 to 40, but...

UUD, Swamp, attack with Ghoulraiser, blocks/responses?
