Notably, Yawgmoth's Bargain is banned in both the "official" list and the official Magic Online "1v1" list, but is not banned in the French Duel Commander rules and is only occasionally used in that format. But Duel Commander doesn't get the whopping 40 starting life used in traditional...

+3 Nicol Bolas to get rid of Melkor's sword. That thing could poke someone's eye out. Done. Nicol Bolas, God Emperor of Dune: 41 Hand: 5 Library: 42 Battlefield: (U) Swamp (U) Dragonskull Summit (~ etb tapped unless I control a swamp or a mountain. T: adds B or R to my mana pool.) (U)...

Yawgmoth's Bargain is banned in Commander. Because of the strange nature of the EDH ban list, I don't know exactly when or how this happened. Really, I could write an article about the oddity of the EDH ban list, but I'm not the best person for the task. And really, I'm surprised that I haven't...

So each of you takes 3 damage?

Proceeding to Declare Blockers?

Operating under the assumption that Yawgmoth's Bargain would be used in a ritual-based combo deck, what would it mean for Vintage? I do think that Bargain has a significant advantage over most other unrestricted options, such as Ad Nauseam and Griselbrand. In some circumstances it is weaker than...

Beast token for me!

Nope.

I've got nothing.

UUD, Swamp, done. Spiderman: 20 Hand: 3 Library: 48 Battlefield: (T,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...

I love Old School! I was putting together some obnoxious Power Artifact combo deck, but it went on hiatus.

Now, to unpack my assertion about Vintage being a broken format at the moment. That sounds bad, but I really don't think that it should be too controversial. Vintage has always been known as the format with all the powerful cards, where crazy things can happen. For many years, the format was...

Does a Bargain-based combo deck have more to offer than one relying on Paradoxical Outcome? Dark Petition? Ad Nauseam? Griselbrand? I think so. Outcome is heavily reliant on artifacts. Petition is dependent on having both the setup to cast it early with spell mastery and the potential to follow...

Well, now that I've talked Legacy to death, it's time to address Vintage. I see one major factor that makes this easier than the Legacy analysis and one major factor that makes it harder... To make things easier, Yawgmoth's Bargain is already restricted in Vintage, rather than banned. This...

UUD, Swamp, done. :yawn: Spiderman: 20 Hand: 4 Library: 50 Battlefield: (U,U,U) Plains x3 (U) Island (U) Gideon's Lawkeeper (1/1; W, T: Tap target creature) Graveyard: Nephalia Smuggler Exile...

UUD... Hit Aerial Responder for 3. Then I'll attack Melkor with a Horror, Spidey with a Horror and a Thragtusk, and Rokapoke with a Horror. Blocks/responses?

Like I said, part of my very long post was lost. I'll try again, but it won't be exactly the same. the stuff I'm writing now is definitely taking on a different form than if I'd tried to write a structured article. When I started that post, I had no intention of trying to elucidate the...

Well, I guess we're in a topdeck war. It was bound to happen eventually. :yawn:

-A hobgoblin swings a strange-looking blade and slashes Throg (18/19). -The Dark Sword steals 1 Weapon Skill from Throg. -A hobgoblin leaps at Dorgath, swinging a crude axe, but the dwarf weaves out of range. -A hobgoblin attempts to jump onto Tomas, but miscalculates and falls. -A hobgoblin...
