That's not exactly accurate though. You can't just let it go whenever you want. You HAVE to let it go when you run out of mana to pay the upkeep, which will happen fairly quickly unless you have a lot of mana to invest. Being able to let your really crappy enchantment die by not paying its...

You mean, synergy, right? I don't see how it has synergy with anything more than the Caliph has synergy with Spirit Link or Pandemonium or Altar of Dementia or whatever. It's even useful by itself. Cards that hurt both you and your opponent have a long history of use in aggressive decks. Juzam...

You mean the combo with Key? All the Tezzeret decklists I've looked at are still using at least one Key, but it's I guess more like a contingency or for when you've already got Vault out. Or do you mean the Tezzeret deck itself as a combo? I don't consider it to be a combo because Tezzeret does...

Well yeah. The idea isn't that the Caliph is a good card. It's that it's not that incredibly bad. I kind of disagree with Spidey on it not necessarily being "Hall of Shame" worthy. If it were in a different set, it could very easily be the worst card for that set. But this is Mirage. I think...

Is this some big prank on me? If so, it's a good one and I applaud whoever came up with it... I didn't say Elspeth is way stronger than Tezzeret. I asked BPC what in the world he was talking about. Tezzeret is a vital part of a top-tier control deck in Vintage. People do realize that this is...

Speaking of favicons, sometimes they go a bit weird for me on bookmarks. Now my bookmark for this site is stuck with the favicon for the site "When to Work" (it's an indigo "W" sitting on top of a royal blue "W" and I no, I don't know how it happened).

How does Malignant Growth combo with Stasis and Chronatog? You have to take turns in order to add counters to it. In order to be equal to Black Vise (aside from requiring two different types of colored mana and costing five times as much to play), you have to take three turns after playing it...

Well, it looks like the Caliph "wins." I still thing that Malignant Growth is orders of magnitude worse.

It's "Emberwilde" and not "Emberwild."

It hoses multicolored decks.

I think we agree here. I don't remember actually putting it in those terms (pushing an agenda), but it's something I might have said. Sharing the spirit of Christmas IS an agenda of sorts, but the word "agenda" often seems to connote, to some people at least, that there's something sinister...

He brought an F-22 Raptor to a gunfight...

*Cugel won't shoot at the bodies. It seems too disrespectful. He'll stick with the shortbow if we're ambushed in the immediate future and wait until we come across something more suitable before performing any test.*

Not impossible, but I doubt that grabbing dual lands was the issue. My guess is that this is supposed to be better than something more specific, such as Mountaincycling. More for formats or players without duals. Because you COULD cycle it for a Mountain, but if you need a Swamp instead, you...

I have been getting back into my cardboard collection again this year (and expect to actually have some good decks going soon). The Cephalid Breakfast thing was all on Apprentice, though. I don't have the cards for that in real life and can't justify buying a bunch of cards right now (because I...

Even though I started playing with the original Portal set (around the time Tempest was being released), I tend to think of myself as being at least passingly familiar with every single Magic card printed up until 2000 or so. But that's not really the case. Every once in a while, I run into some...

I've always liked Ashen Ghoul. Krovikan Horror too, but it bounces back to your hand, which isn't necessarily useless, but wouldn't make for a quick kill. The rationale behind Sutured Ghoul is that it's one creature that attacks for the kill without having to include several other creatures...
