Unfortunately, like some other cool cards from back in the day, this thing is on the Reserved List. If it had been printed in a more recent set and more of the newer crowd of casual players had gotten their hands on it, we may have seen it used to power out Liliana of the Dark Realms (which...

While it's possible to build a Survival deck without a built-in instant kill combo, why would you do that? Some game-winning combinations to fetch with SotF include... -The aforementioned Full English Breakfast method. While there were several versions over the years, the most...

That's the part that I find a bit odd. And maybe it's just that I'm an incompetent, stupid scrub who rips open every booster box he buys right away. But I've seen these people who buy boxes and just store them, not because they want to have them for later, like for drafting or just collecting...

Well, it doesn't hurt to be sure. It was only a separate post because I thought after seeing that you seemed confused, I'd better be detailed. I don't really see a technical explanation of the rules as condescending and I don't see problems with having reminders sometimes. That goes for me...

Sorry, I'd been meaning to get to this earlier and I had decided to make changes to some stuff I'd prepared for the next arm of the adventure (you guys are too strong and aren't in nearly enough danger of dying). Through sheer laziness, I still haven't gotten to that. But that's no reason to...

I figured you guys must have been using something for that. Should have thought to ask what.

So I did need to expand (unlike post #53), but once I did (like in post #54) it was condescending and obnoxious for me to do so? Catch-22. :rolleyes: Nah. I've been poking fun at it for a while now, off an on. Maybe not as far back as "forever" but it amuses me. I don't have a problem with...

Reminder post for me to update this already...

http://mtgen.net/ Thought this might be of interest to some of us.

I don't really know how to judge that, as I've seen others try it with every set.

Pandemonium came out in the block before Replenish, which itself came out in the block before Saproling Burst. Although all three are good cards, using them together in the same deck is just about the most powerful thing that one can do with any of them. So once PandeBurst was a known entity...

I've always been fond of this card, but at some point, I traded my only copies away for something I really wanted, and I didn't acquire more until many, many years later and by then, I was no longer actively building casual decks. Seriously, this was 17 or 18 years ago. And I just can't remember...

There's a lot more to say about this wonderful card, but before I completely move on from Survival Elves, I should note that it was one of many Survival decks to have the potential for a big combo finish. After all, SotF is a reusable tutor, and the ability to find a particular configuration of...

Whole set is up now. And yeah, it's really good.

Before there was Cabal Coffers, there was Lake of the Dead. I don't think that I've personally used the card in many, many years, but it was once a prize of my collection. I've already sung the praises of Dark Ritual, so it probably isn't too hard to figure out how I used Lake of the Dead: pure...

While I'm still talking about Legacy decks, another archetype to employ Survival of the Fittest was Madness. It came onto the scene a little later than ATS, Welder Survival, RGSA, and Full English Breakfast. Madness-based decks were probably tried from the beginning of the format, with attempted...

If you realized that it was wrong and wanted to do it anyway, then why did you ask me what I meant and then repeat it the same way? :confused: And yes, I can understand what is meant, just like I can understand it when you cut the vowels out of your words. So do it that way if you want, I...

And now the Ravnica Signets have been spoiled, which isn't of particular interest, but they're OK. I said it before, but this set is bonkers. Last year, we got Eternal Masters and now there's this. I know the packs are stupidly expensive, but there's something to be said for just having such a...

And now there's Serum Visions. I have some misgivings about that card. I think it's propped up by the silly bans on Ponder and Preordain in Modern. But it's certainly not a bad card.

I suspect that you do know this and have just been used to saying it the old way (the old new way?), but to be clear, it used to be the case that during combat, damage from attackers and blockers would go on the stack, during which time it would be possible to respond to it with instants and...
