Is it possible to embed a YouTube video into an article here? I was going to just link to it, but it occurred to me that embedding is a thing and that other people do it...

I was just testing Elspeth vs. Tezzeret again. You know what card I really wish the Tezzeret deck had? Serrated Arrows. That thing could be really fun in this sort of deck. Well, maybe not fun for your opponents, but that's only if they're relying on creatures...

Untap, upkeep, Swamp myself (ew?), draw, play a Swamp, Soothing Balm myself, No Rest for the Wicked, done. Common Pool Gustcloak Runner W Creature-Human Soldier (1/1; Whenever ~ becomes blocked, you may untap it and remove it from combat) Library: 68 Graveyard: Last Breath (Oversoul)...

Too bad about BigBlue being swamped. I'll take that one Swamp in his stead.

I totally forgot that Netrunner existed. I didn't play it myself, but I do remember it, vaguely, and only because it was reminiscent of Neuromancer.

Given the choice between those two, I'd go with Theros. I could go over all my pros and cons, but ultimately the point is that I consider Theros to be slightly denser in power as a set, and when you're buying that many packs, the little bits add up. I wouldn't plan on buying a booster box and...

I've actually been testing the Duel Decks: Elspeth vs. Tezzeret against each other. I'll eventually use the results as material for an article. Anyway, I really like both decks and think they're more fun than the other duel decks I've investigated. While Tezzeret's deck is fun and fine as a duel...

I forgot about that too. It's not really a big deal. Some other cards could give you way more of an advantage. Oh, and Memory Jar is not banned in Commander, so I'd use that.

Well, that makes four of us. Start a thread (Y/N)?

It's certainly possible to go all nonbasics. I guess the main thing I'm getting at with regard to the mana base is that you know you'll have your commander's ability requiring red mana, so you'll want red mana to be available by the time it's desirable to start activating Bosh. How many other...

I don't get it. You've listed way more land than you'd come close to needing, and some of these lands are terrible. Your system of marking them with asterisks is just distracting. It seems like you're doing a lot of work, listing every possible land you could use instead of just trying to build...

Well, I haven't taken these apart yet, but I probably will soon. I have other decks I want to focus on and, if nothing else, I can use the sleeves. There's a chance I'll eventually get around to making these non-Standard decks, but the experiment is over. With the limited selection of...

No Spiderman today. Maybe the snow got him?

Hey, it snowed here (a little). I thought I'd let everyone know.

Submitted an article for this week late last night (would have been early this morning for most of you). Hopefully it went through...

Show and Tell is another source of broken combo decks in Legacy right now, maybe the best one (many players want Show and Tell to be banned). One of the archetypes using it focuses on Dream Hall and Omniscience, with the goal of casting Enter the Infinite in order to set up a kill. And you know...

Well, I'm not going to pretend to be surprised, but I was hoping that there'd be change for Legacy, even though there never is. I haven't been very active in the format, but I've followed it since it started and I think it's currently the worst it's ever been, discounting stuff like the brief...

Joke's on you: I don't have any grandchildren.

I remember now. The "new" Simic decks I've faced have been based around either Biovisionary (which is actually pretty dangerous in a control deck) or, in the other case, Renegade Krasis (cute, but not immune to Pestilence, as my opponent discovered). Anyway... I would cut some of the evolve...

I will probably not be decked. I anticipate losing when my life total hits 0.
