I think a key aspect of this format is that while the power level is far too high for you to do whatever silly thing you might want and get away with it, the diversity and depth are such that you have lots of options on things you can do, and you can do them very, very powerfully. It's a...

Sadly, no. I had hopes of building a deck with some similarities to this one and wanted to look at different options, but I kept letting other things get in the way. I need to do something about my approach to deckbuilding. Currently, it's too time-consuming for the amount of time I can devote...

Interesting. I wouldn't expect to see Ugin in this sort of deck, but you've got the mana production for it and if you have eight mana lying around, it's a pretty potent use of that. I can't recall having seen any deck quite like this one, so it's tricky to evaluate. Amusingly, with your emphasis...

I'd rather have him turn up on another plane. He is a planeswalker, after all.

Correct.

Well, there is a Pit Fighter skill that can be gained in leveling up, which would allow that. Something to keep in mind when spending level-up points... Sounds good. That should be enough for you not to have to micromanage. I know when monsters have taken some damage and I'd gather that if Ty...

The delve-based card-drawing spells Treasure Cruise and Dig Through Time were eventually banned in Legacy and Modern and restricted in Vintage. They cost eight mana, but because of the "Delve" mechanic, they can be cast a discount. Blue/red decks playing lots of cheap spells and employing cards...

I forget how we handled this before, but it occurs to me now, just as I was about to roll for a fight against some rats, that I don't know which weapons people are using. While you're always free to specify, before combat, which weapon you wish to wield, it seems like it might be useful to have...

To everyone's surprise, a trapdoor opens and more rats come pouring out. It's a trick. Perhaps someone wants you dead. Someone other than the rats, that is, which are the immediate problem... To clarify, which weapons are you guys currently wielding? Edit: Post added to main thread. If...

The more I think about it, the more I'm worried that Bedlam Reveler is one of the scariest cards in a long time. Blue/red has already supplanted blue/black as the strongest color combination, and this gives decks of that variety everything they'd want. The card is going to be a big deal and...

Yeah, I've seen them compared to the Superfriends, the Justice League, the Planeteers, the Avengers, the Power Rangers, and the Traveling Wilburys. I doubt that there's overt influence from the Avengers movie, although I haven't seen it myself. This sort of thing is all over the place. I don't...

I'm seeing a lot of reaction, with which I largely concur, that the eldrazi seems really overdone by this point and that the set so far looks disappointing. That last bit isn't necessarily damning, as the vast majority of sets looked unimpressive from early spoilers, some of them turning out to...

Well, that ended up bigger than I'd meant for it to. It's been so long, I forgot how I made these things. To refresh, each letter represents something. Right now, we've got... D=Dorgath T=Tyresius R=Giant Rat Also, I just remembered that Throg already had "T" as his letter. We'll need some...

Throg is investigating the mystery of why none of the animal traders in Middenheim know where to find a donkey. Over the past couple of days, his sleuthing has turned up a few clues. He's still not sure what's going on, but he's pretty sure that Emrakul is involved... Kelgar is hard at work...

I downloaded it a while back, but experienced a game-breaking glitch and gave up.

So yeah, first draws sent out.

I forgot. "No mulligans in pack wars" (only a rule if you're not a lame-o).

I rolled some dice for you guys. Mooseman rolled 8, Melkor rolled 3, and Spiderman rolled 1. Man, you guys roll some low numbers. Anyway, sending out opening hands now... Mooseman: 20 Hand: 7 Library: 23 Battlefield: Graveyard: Exile...

I didn't think about the aspect that it might be overwhelming. But yeah, it also means fewer of the cards could actually get played, so it's probably not a great idea for this. Well, they certainly are now. I preordered a couple early and wasn't sure that I'd actually get them, so later on I...

Ah, I imagine it would have been cool to see in person. 22-power Noble Hierarch trampled over Snapcaster Mage to beat Miracles in the finals. Everyone got a PM by now, I think. At least one person has a choice to make with some of this stuff, and then once I get back from where my work is...
