Yeah, I'm definitely rethinking Persist guys more, now that I'm focusing so much on sacrifice loops. Mazirek is certainly the sort of card that could have strong interactions in any black/green deck that sacrifices its own stuff. My deck was envisioned as a "start dredging right away and have a...

I didn't realize that Abe Sargent was aware of our existence! Kind of makes me appreciate him more. I wonder if he was ever a member here, and who out there making a much bigger splash in Magic than we do here has posted at the CPA. Most prominent case is probably NorrYtt?

Great article. Well, it identifies the problem anyway. I don't know if it could be solved at this point. It would be nice if the mothership brought back the Arena League system, although that's probably too far-fetched. I used to think that what we needed was a more community-driven approach...

But do we really need to wait for Spidey? We could just assume that Dorgath charges in on his own and draws the attention of whatever is in the room so that everyone else can sneak up on it or something... :p

Huh, I see a lot of particularly positive and particularly negative stances toward Astral Slide. I wasn't involved in Standard or Extended, which is where the card seemed to live, so I have no strong opinions either way. I do find it a bit amusing that Fluctuator was the one cycling-based card...

No need: my little sister stole them all in 1991. :p

The Pattern-Rector approach has come a long way since the days of Symbiotic Wurm, and there's plenty more to be said about the combo potential of Academy Rector and Pattern of Rebirth. But Symbiotic Wurm could still be a very good creature in a casual deck with Academy Rector, thanks to a...

One interaction I remember from high school involved Academy Rector and Nantuko Husk, along with at least one more creature, which was usually either Birds of Paradise or Veteran Explorer. The plan was to get Nantuko Husk through unblocked (or give it trample with a spell). Then the player would...

Revaethan eats some Elf Waybread. Dorgath's Lifestone of Ashraz heals him. With Tomas casting Lifebringer, everyone's Wounds are fully restored by the time the party gets back to the vestibule. It takes 5 turns to make the journey back. On the fifth turn, the Power Phase is 1. An Unexpected...

You know, I was going to use Paint to update the map, and with Spidey on vacation I'd have plenty of time, but I got so far behind on this one and I'm lazy. Ideally I'd leave stuff all mysterious by making the map on Paint, but I'm spoiling everything by showing that you've discovered all of the...

The two enchantments that I've most frequently fetched with Academy Rector were both released in the same set as Academy Rector itself: Urza's Destiny. In principle, Rector is a versatile toolbox card. It could be used to find any enchantment. But the vast majority of the times I've used it have...

So far, with these Memories threads, I've started... 2 for artifacts 1 for a land 2 for blue cards 3 for black cards 2 for green cards 1 for a red card 1 for a gold card Well, something pretty obvious is missing there. It wasn't my intention to leave white out, but I suppose I'm not...

Example 1 Get Protean Hulk out somehow (alongside a sac outlet), perhaps with Unburial Rites. Sac Protean Hulk and fetch Karmic Guide, then use Karmic Guide's ability to bring Protean Hulk back. Sac Protean Hulk again and fetch Fiend Hunter and Saffi Eriksdotter, then use Fiend Hunter to exile...

Untap, upkeep... Splinterfright flips Llanowar Elves and Acidic Slime into my graveyard. That's probably it for me. I don't think this deck has any remaining enchantment removal left. Draw, Boneyard Wurm, done. Spiderman: 29 Hand: 1 Library: 41 Battlefield: (T,T,T,T,T,T,U) Plains x7...

UUD, Boneyard Wurm, done. Spiderman: 29 Hand: 1 Library: 42 Battlefield: (T,T,T,U,U,U,U) Plains x7 Honor of the Pure (White creatures I control get +1/+1) Oblivion Ring (When ~ ETB, exile another target nonland permanent.; When ~ leaves the battlefield, return the exiled card to the...

UUD, Island, Spider Spawning, done. Spiderman: 29 Hand: 1 Library: 43 Battlefield: (T,T,T,T,T,U) Plains x6 Honor of the Pure (White creatures I control get +1/+1) Oblivion Ring (When ~ ETB, exile another target nonland permanent.; When ~ leaves the battlefield, return the exiled card to...

I have a creature with trample, but someone didn't want me to be able to be able to attack with it.

It's permanent. The ring could be taken off, perhaps if you wanted to equip a different ring and ran out of fingers for wearing bling rings or if you wanted to equip it on a different character. But the characteristic that it improves is set permanently.

Looks like Dorgath is taking the Ring of Power. Which characteristic does he want to enhance?
