While green cards like Sylvan Library or Verduran Enchantress work well with Pursuit of Knowledge, my most distinct memories of the card involved using it in my old W/U/B control Highlander deck. I totally can't remember if I've mentioned it before, although it seems like I must have. This was...

Character sheets in the main thread should not be up-to-date. As usual, it would be prudent to check if your numbskull of a DM missed anything obvious.

First time that I'm trying this, as people may find it relevant. Here's the character sheet for the your current NPC tagalong. I'll try to post these when they come up, but they will not be updated as often. Mostly, they could help you gauge what your companions are capable of. Also, it might...

A contingent of elves escort you and your mounts to the Pine Crags, but the path is too narrow for an army, so it will just be the six primary members of the party, plus Revaethan and Jekaena. As this is a new "deep" (sort of), all of your Luck and "once per adventure" stuff resets and Throg's...

I think that the coolest synergy with Pursuit of Knowledge is probably Sylvan Library. Sylvan Library penalizes you for the cards that you had drawn the same turn that you used its ability. Because you skip drawing both cards from Sylvan Library and the card you would have drawn as normal in...

In my article, I mentioned Brainstorm, a card that would later become somewhat controversial for its overpowered utility, especially in Legacy. As Orgg appended in an editorial note in my article, if one is using Pursuit of Knowledge, Brainstorm is an excellent card to be using anyway and can...

Well, I have no idea what Dorgath just drank, but running with the assumption that it doesn't kill him, let's see... You arise the next morning and the wood elves begin congregating outside the temple again. You witness a heated argument between some of the elven lords. It seems that word of...

Take it.

Nice. I did have Pursuit of Knowledge and Verduran Enchantress in the same deck a long time ago. Eventually, my Enchantress deck was a more efficient build with Argothian Enchantress, Rancor, Auratog, etc. Pursuit of Knowledge, being a four-drop, wasn't included. But Enchantress-type effects are...

To rehash the major points of the article, but without corrupted punctuation... I can think of four major approaches to using Pursuit of Knowledge. There are some niche applications as well, including some that didn't exist in 2004 (when I wrote that article), which I might talk about later...

UUD, Porcelain Legionnaire, done. Spiderman: 20 Hand: 2 Library: 49 Battlefield: (T,U,U,U,U) Swamp x5 (U) Gloom Surgeon Creature-Spirit (2/1; If combat dmg would be dealt to ~, prevent that dmg and exile that many cards from the top of my library) (U) Cemetery Reaper Creature-Zombie (2/2...

As with Fluctuator, I actually wrote an article about Pursuit of Knowledge here at the CPA at one point. I almost forgot about it! This one was way back in 2004. Yikes. http://www.casualplayers.org/article/get.php?action=getarticle&articleid=915 My articles back then were pretty bad. Also...

This one might be a bit obscure. I don't remember seeing a lot of other people using Pursuit of Knowledge. Even Scalpelexis had its fans, and while Bubbling Muck might not be highly renowned as Magic cards go, it was played extensively in tournaments once upon a time. But Pursuit of Knowledge...

You guys, I just remembered that Sandwurm Convergence is now a thing again. This could make for a very obnoxious casual deck. I don't know whether to use Academy Rector or Enduring Ideal for the setup. Rector is way faster, but Ideal can go off on the subsequent turn and fetch, say, Dovescape...

:eek:

Block with Tandem Lookout.

Alas, the wood elves seem to lack the good sense to stock Bugman's beer. The only Bugman's beer to be found is Dorgath's own supply of Bugman's XXXXXX.

"I can assure you, I'll be looking into that now. There are a few possibilities. I'll assemble a council in the morning to address this and I need time to assess the problem. The healers will tend to Jekaena. You should get some rest..." The wood elves offer to accommodate the party at the...
