What did I do? Wait, don't answer that...

Submitted a new article. I actually wrote this before I even submitted the previous article, but embarrassingly enough, this time I was the one to forget about it.

So I'm the only one who actually got killed? Oh, I see how it is... :p

Satyr Firedancer is a good card, but it strikes me as more of a Sligh card than a Burn card.

Yeah, it would work well, but not in Commander, on account of the "color identity" rules. There are a lot of different directions to go, but Ghave seems such a natural fit for a combo-oriented approach. It wouldn't necessarily have to be infinite, of course. Well, I think that Garruk...

Juniper Order Ranger: If you use Ashnod's Altar, this would be an excellent inclusion. Both cards are good with token-generators on their own, and together with Ghave, they go infinite. Sigil Captain also has that potential, although I'd prefer the Ranger. Blood Artist/Falkenreath Noble: You'd...

The "22" in "turgy22" stands for 1922, his true year of birth.

I actually think that the haters are half right though. This isn't limited to Storm, but Storm is one pretty good example... People have been attempting Storm decks in Legacy since the beginning of the format, and it's usually been a second tier strategy, but sometimes it's pretty good. Now...

I touched on it a little bit in one of my articles. I forget exactly what I said there, but to elaborate here... WotC introduced Storm in Scourge. Mind's Desire was broken and preemptively restricted in Vintage when WotC realized what it would do there. Tendrils of Agony was put into combo...

I believe that was Spike Cannibal, but I might be wrong. Not a chance.

Yes, I'm trying to win. I don't know what the competitive metagame is like either. I'm too lazy to find out. I want someone else to build the deck for me so that I can play it and win. But I guess that's not very likely...

Just remember: if you play a five-color commander deck, you're playing the Hermit Druid deck and everyone should try to kill you as quickly as possible.

I just want to chime in on Rokapoke's behalf and say that I interpreted Turgy's post in the same way.

I have the Counterpunch deck, although it's now incomplete because I took out Karador and Vish Kal (and Command Tower) for my dredge-based Commander deck. It's a cool deck, although sadly it's probably too hard to find and too expensive to be worth buying anymore. Vish Kal is really impressive...

Hey everyone, he remembered! That means a new article. I wasn't really planning to close out Volume I with a Duel Decks review, but I'm happy with it.

Resubmitted article because it's been a while and I think Spidey forgot about it. Also, I noticed a few typos and that Gmail does some arcane formatting thing that my primitive brain couldn't possibly understand, but I tried to excise all of the extraneous line breaks, which were added to the...

I bought a playset. It will drop again once Theros block rotates out of Standard, so I'm being punished a bit for my impatience, but I wanted to use the card now. Oh, it's not a functional reprint of City of Brass, though. Lots of cards can tap lands, and City of Brass deals damage in those...

Monastery Mentor is attracting quite a bit of attention already. I wouldn't be surprised to see big things from that little guy.

It's 2015.

Merry also-on-time Christmas.
