This fight is going to be underway any day now...

Both die and I get an eldrazi spawn?

Due to copying and pasting, the typo in the name "Saproling" was replicated over and over, so whenever I idly peeked at this thread, I'd see it. I was hoping that you'd blow up Mooseman's board, but you have not done so thus far. I don't even remember what's in these decks, but they seem pretty...

UUD, Pawn of Ulamog, attack with Vampire Lacerator, blocks/responses?

I just want to emphasize that it wasn't me who got rid of the underlining on the color headers. I copied the list as it was before my post, and then deleted the lines for the cards that I picked. I am a good citizen. :p

It was the summer of 2002. I had a small playgroup back then, but floated around playing with friends who were more involved in other playgroups, some of them more focused on tournament gameplay, while others were strictly casual. In one of these meetups, I saw two of people playing a game, and...

With the upcoming release of Amonkhet and the new potential toys for cycling-based decks, I've had Fluctuator on my mind lately. I still have an old Fluctuator deck sitting in a box somewhere. The card has long been a favorite of mine. I hesitated to make a thread for this one. I mean, I...

While I did play Arcane Denial even in some hard control decks (I believe I used it in my Forbidian deck), my most extensive use of the card was in control-combo decks. And here's the past where I get all Comboist Manifesto on this thread and blather on about theory... While I don't recall...

Oops. I had already started my previous post and had to log out and log back in, so I missed Melkor's post, which is a more succinct version of the same general conclusion I had.

I said I'd elaborate on Arcane Denial's drawback and the perception of it later. Well, it's later now. Wait, what? Arcane Denial has its fans. A long time ago, I was in a tournament and cast it. My opponent reacted strangely and I interpreted this as him being unfamiliar with the card. I...

Seriously, on other sites I'm mostly seeing the potential of this Nissa being dismissed. I don't want to overhype the card, but my impression was that she could make a big splash. Those tournament players probably know better than I do, so I guess I'm underestimating the conditional nature of...

In some cases, Arcane Denial was used in decks that simply didn't care about letting opponents draw cards. In other cases, opponents were discouraged from drawing cards off it or could be punished for doing so. But my earliest uses of the card were in decks that included Arcane Denial despite...

Bump, I guess. I saw that you had made the last post, but it was still for combat. My turn is done. Also, I guess I somehow had you going to 19 life, when obviously you were at 20 and would be at 18 after taking damage. Math is hard. Anyway, your turn.

Counterspell and Swords to Plowshares. I love this set.

Even though I didn't have Leovold or Notion Thief to block opponents from drawing cards off Arcane Denial (nor Consecrated Sphinx to one-up them), I did play it in decks that discouraged opponents from doing so or punished them if they tried. As I've said in other threads, I was enthusiastic and...

I recently watched this amusing video deck tech for a Leovold Commander deck. The list there is pretty solid, although substantially different from the Leovold deck I'm working on myself. But the most glaring omission is Arcane Denial. I'd have pointed it out in the comment section, but a few...
