Maybe. To be clear, I completely buy that the MTGO data is there. But here's the thing. They didn't go into this blind. They've been considering the problem for a while, and the possibility that Amonkhet would have made the Standard environment even worse isn't some obscure trivium that could...

Well, here we go... Kalastria Highborn, attack with Pawn and Bloodghast. Unless you're holding something that changes things, that should be lethal no matter how you block. Nighthawk can block one and take you up to 4, and Legionnaire can block one, but if either vampire is blocked, it will...

Mind Control resolves. You get the Nighthawk. Are you at 2 or are you at 4? I had you at 2, and somehow it says 4. If it's 2, then I think I can kill you. If it's 4, perhaps Mind Control can save you... Edit: I realize I might be asking the wrong person, since it's my post that says 4 and...

Pawn makes another Spawn, Vampire Nighthawk, done. Spiderman: 4 Hand: 1 Library: 44 Battlefield: (T,T,T,T,T) Island x5 (T) Glimmerpost (When ~ ETB, I gain 1 life for each Locus on the battlefield.; T: Add C to my mana pool) (S) Porcelain Legionaire (3/1; First Strike) Graveyard: Aether...

EOT sac a Spawn to Seer, move card to the bottom, sac a Spawn to Seer, move card to the bottom, sac a Spawn to the Seer, leave the card on top, sac a Spawn for C, pay 4 life and the mana from the Spawn to Dismember Phantasmal Dragon (totally killing it twice, which I apparently found to be...

ZOMG QUADRUPLE POST OVERSOUL STOP... No, wait! This is different. I have some BREAKING NEWS!!! The mothership issued an addendum, and now Felidar Guardian is to be banned in Standard...

I probably missed something in there, as there is just so much to unpack with the effects of this announcement, but for now, I'll move on to Miracles, the deck that got Top banned in Legacy... Legacy has a lot of older, more experienced players. I think part of the popularity of Miracles came...

I maintain that in formats like Legacy and Vintage (and even Modern), it is almost never warranted to ban or restrict more than one card at a time. So I think the decision to restrict two cards was a mistake. But I'm puzzled as to how blue-based decks are supposed to be the bigger problem than...

OK, so now that I've had some time to mull this stuff over, some thoughts. But to start with, I'll focus on the stuff that isn't specifically about Miracles... The Standard environment is still very controversial and it seems all too likely that WotC still doesn't know what to do about it. In...

Well, I still hadn't quite finished my Leovold deck, and now I guess I'm scrapping it. Leovold was banned by the "official" Commander Rules Committee. I for one, find this unfortunate. Part of what has been built into Commander that makes it unusual as a format is the whole "color identity"...

Viscera Seer, done. Spiderman: 8 Hand: 2 Library: 45 Battlefield: (T,T,T,T,T) Island x5 (U) Glimmerpost (When ~ ETB, I gain 1 life for each Locus on the battlefield.; T: Add C to my mana pool) Graveyard: Aether Adept, Aether Adept, Preordain, Aether Adept, Mind Control, Lord of the Unreal...

I assume that by "their management" you are talking about WotC. But if you were talking about Kool & The Gang, that would be much funnier.

Might be that I need to send draw(s)? I forget. I can do so once I'm at home this evening...

All four creatures in combat die, I get four more Eldrazi Spawn, and you take 2?

UUD, Pawn of Ulamog (yes, the third one this game), attack with Gatekeeper, Bloodghast, and the not-summoning-sick Pawn of Ulamog. Blocks/responses?

Sac the Seer to itself, generating another Spawn from Pawn and moving the top card of my library to the bottom.

OK, sac Bloodghast to Viscera Seer, create an Eldrazi Spawn of Pawn, move the top card of my library to the bottom, Swamp, Bloodghast comes back, done. Spiderman: 10 Hand: 2 Library: 46 Battlefield: (T,T,T,T,T) Island x5 (U) Glimmerpost (When ~ ETB, I gain 1 life for each Locus on the...

I deliberately did that because I wasn't sure how many silly videos or images along the lines of "ding dong, the witch is dead" I might post, and I wanted to keep your thread reserved for serious discussion, as this is a very serious place.

It's only a Swamp!
