Played this deck in a long game on Wednesday night. The deck performed well at first, but I ultimately fell way behind, in part due to being manadrowned. It was a weird game anyway, and I'll probably remember it more for that. We all got off to a slow start, and at first I had both Shay Cormac...

This has been my most "last minute" deck in a few years. I started sorting cards into piles on Tuesday night, but had to wait until Wednesday evening to actually put a proper list together. Sleeved it and drove to the game store for some games. To my astonishment, this deck won its first...

I've been wanting to do blue/black Dragons with this commander ever since Sivitri was spoiled. Finally threw a deck together. Commander: 1 Sivitri, Dragon Master 1 Ancient Brass Dragon 1 Ancient Silver Dragon 1 Arcane Denial 1 Ashnod's Altar 1 Belbe's Portal 1 Bloodstained Mire 1 Boneyard...

Tried out the new list at a table that I thought would be pretty low-power. I did eventually win, but it was actually kind of slow. No conclusions yet from just a single game, but I did find that interesting. Got to see some of the new cards. I even used Eldrazi Confluence to flip over some...

I put my Omarthis deck from last year back together, then I edited the crap out of it. The old deck was based on the "Eldrazi Unbound" precon, but this version departed from that in favor of squeezing more value out of Omarthis. Also, I included some new cards that weren't available back when I...

Instead of lambasting WotC for leaving Earthcraft on the list for the past twenty years or for pushing the power level of these "Modern Horizons" sets past absurdity, I'm going to use this to highlight something much more important. WotC, it's time we had that talk... I might well be the only...

Tried this deck again for the first time in a while. Incidentally, Nicky was going to borrow it a week or so ago, but changed plans and never actually played it. Anyway, I ran into the same problem, which is that some players become really hostile against this deck due to massively...

I got a decent performance out of this deck, but a seemingly inexperienced and clueless player running a rather high-powered deck helmed by Ashling, Flame Dancer stormed off with both Grapeshot and Ignite Memories, as well as using Repercussion to hit me through my creatures. I had to guide him...

Took this deck into a five-player game using the Star variant. My two opponents didn't play creatures at first and I didn't have much going on. My deck faltered, and eventually one of my opponents started estalishing a dominant position. One of my allies got bored and really wanted to concede...

Played this deck in a five-person pod on Wednesday. Had a good start, but got stuck with mostly just mana dorks. I had to use Tradewind Rider to keep myself alive against Alexios, Deimos of Kosmos. My board full of mana dorks and servos was starting to get outscaled, though. Just when I thought...

Played this deck and got easily picked off by a player who was flooding the table with gigantic creatures. I couldn't do anything about it. Pretty sure he won shortly after killing me anyway. I guess that's the sort of performance I should have been anticipating from this pile anyway.

Well, I played this in a five-person pod on Wednesday and goldfished it a bit this morning. I'm not going so far as to just dismiss this as a failed experiment, but I'm a bit lost as to where I go from here. The deck doesn't have that much board presence until it starts comboing off. And once it...

I've been wanting to concoct a ProsBloom deck in EDH for a long time. Unfortunately, the best commander for this is Zaxara, which is a bit too "exemplary" for my purposes. But Glarb seemed like a decent candidate. Well, I threw this list together way after I should have gone to bed. I don't...

Despite playing a very long game with this deck, I only ever saw one of the new cards. Perch Protection saved my creatures from an early Blasphemous Act. As the game went on, I had to use Phelddagrif a lot just because I didn't have much else going on. All three of my opponents posed huge...

Took this deck into a game last night and it did alright. Twilight Drover put in work. I topdecked both Workhorse and Crystalline Crawler, when what a I really needed was something besides just more mana. The board got to a kind of stalemate, which bought one player the time he needed to...

Bloomburrow update! -1 Archangel Elspeth -1 Hall of Tagsin +1 Warren Warleader +1 Fountainport

I hadn't updated this deck all year. The advent of Bloomburrow seemed like a good time for that. -1 Dakra Mystic -1 Kwain, Itinerant Meddler -1 Peacekeeper -1 Wall of Shards -1 Norn's Decree -1 Spectral Searchlight +1 Ms. Bumbleflower +1 Sokrates, Athenian Teacher +1 Tempt with Bunnies +1...

Brought this deck to the final game last night. Some of my key permanents were hit by removal spells that would have been better used against the player with the Dogmeat, Ever Loyal deck. None of us could deal with his Rogue's Passage, so once multiple instance of hexproof were on his commander...

Someone wanted to do the Planechase variant with the shared Planar Deck. I brought this deck out. Mostly drew a lot of lands, but the rolling the planar die got me some tokens that discouraged attacks against me. Following a board wipe by another player, I cast Enduring Ideal and immediately...
