Most of my experiences with Scalpelexis were across the table from my friend's deck, but I did get to play it myself and it was great fun. Scalpelexis was excellent against a popular card of the time: Gaea's Blessing. That card was ruinous for Millstone and friends, but easy prey for...

I'm guessing he's gone early for President's Day weekend? Guess we'll have to wait until next week for him to kill me. I'm thinking I survive to see turn 6, but that may be overly optimistic...

I blame power creep. Maybe the card was never amazing at five mana, but back when it was released in Judgment or maybe even when it was reprinted in Tenth Edition, a 1/5 flyer that could exile cards off the top of the library that much was, while not a competitive powerhouse, generally...

Also, your Meitnerium is subject to radioactive decay and by now would surely be other elements by now. Should I updated the board state to reflect this? :p

Because I'd guess that you'd probably still play the second Wardriver, but I just want to make sure...

We miss you!

I used to use Soldevi Digger all the time. It's one of my old favorites, but people always seemed to underestimate it. I suppose it's the whole "bottom of your library" thing. Unless you shuffle your library, for most decks, putting a card on the bottom means that you'll never see it again for...

When the Necropede dies, I'll use its death trigger on Goblin Wardriver (the first one, as you hadn't played the second one yet). That change anything?

Dorgath doesn't know if it's magical writings or not. His upbringing in Zhufbar did not prepare him for deciphering elven script.

Of course they're understandable. That's not the point! This is the CPA, so the point is always messing with Spiderman. I'll block the Goblin Wardriver with the Necropede.

I don't think I've played with or against the card since my friend's old deck was taken apart, but it definitely made an impression (I wish that we'd saved the decklist). Like I said, it's had me putting snow-covered lands into casual decks ever since. I realize that the game has changed a lot...

Dorgath checks for secret doors in the secret room, but there don't seem to be any. Searching turns up some items... -1 Cloak of Loren -15 Arrows of Loren -A journal

German. In what language is "Mt" a word? :p Well, I'm at work of course, but thanks to Preordain I know what my topdeck will be, so.. UUD, Island, Necropede, done. Spiderman: 20 Poison: 0 Hand: 3 Library: 52 Battlefield: (T,T) Montagne x2 (T) Goblin creature token (1/1) (T) Goblin...

Only three creatures on the first turn in a deck based around Battle Cry? Slacker. Draw, Island, Preordain, leave the cards where they were before drawing one, done. Spiderman: 20 Poison: 0 Hand: 4 Library: 53 Battlefield: (T) Berg (S) Goblin creature token (1/1) (S) Goblin creature...

The most mainstream deck that might conceivably run all three is Pox, and yeah, no one really considers it a top Legacy deck these days. Probably also the most mainstream deck to use Dark Ritual at all for any purpose besides trying to go with a fast combo kill. Of course, if you have a bad...

I'll assume you're taking it with you, but not applying it yet until there's a fight, so the temporary to-hit bonus isn't wasted... The feminine voice magically echoing through the dungeon returns, this time murmuring too softly to make out any words at first... "...got to evacuate. They're...

Heads it is.

On one occasion, a Scalpelexis trigger ate twenty cards off the top of my library, and that was followed up by a second Scalpelexis trigger. I was frustrated, but I had no flying blockers and my creature removal had been stripped from my hand before the little brain-eaters had hit the board. The...

I used to play a lot of blue/black control, and that will emerge as a common theme in these vignettes. I played other colors too, but I was enamored of the blue/black combination and early on happened to get some pretty good cards for casual decks in those colors. But in this case, it wasn't me...

Oops, you posted your reply just before my previous one and I hadn't seen yours yet. Anyway, I'll sleeve up the other deck when I get home. Who goes first, anyway? On the one hand, I won the first game so you should have priority, on the other hand, letting this deck go first again seems like it...
