Kept a one-land hand and had a slow start. Just when I thought I was stabilizing, I was dispatched by triggers from Ayara, First of Locthwain when one of my opponents had a Shadowborn Apostle + Thrumming Stone engine go off. Killed two of us, but the Firesong and Sunspeaker player had enough...

My Omarthis deck was originally named "Unbound and Down" as a play on the name of the precon (Eldrazi Unbound) and the song "East Bound and Down." I took it apart. About six months later, I used many of the same cards to build a similar Omarthis deck, one that used fewer elements from the precon...

Translation: Storm used to be scary twenty years ago, then we kept printing a bunch of broken stuff that let's creature-based tempo decks beat up combo players and take their lunch money. We find this funny, so we're going to keep doing it. Seeing that we don't really make new tools for storm...

This is probably the first time all year that I've been excited for anything Legacy-related. And that's kind of sad. Well, it's been far too long and there are far too many other cards that are equally overdue for unbanning. I could rant all day about that, but I want to focus on the positive...

https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/announcements/august-7-2023-banned-and-restricted-announcement Modern: Preordain is unbanned. Legacy: Mind's Desire is unbanned.

I realize that the Modern crowd are mostly younger than I am, but I thought that they should at least be able to shuffle 80 cards! :P

Still looking to revise this deck, but I still haven't. My game last night got off to a lousy start, as I couldn't get enough lands to effectively play. Maze of Ith kept some damage off me, but I only survived because my opponents kept each other reined in. Ended a turn with Zirilan, Flameshow...

Another glorious victory for Rosie! I was doing OK for most of the game, but didn't have any definitive threats that could close the game out. While being attacked and pondering what my blocks might be, I realized that because I had Ashnod's Altar + Twilight Drover + Mondrak, Glory Dominus +...

Took this deck into a game where it was badly outclassed, but I still got to attack some people with giants, so there's that. Raging River was present, but no one actually threw blockers in front of my giants anyway, so perhaps the card didn't matter. Three of us scooped because Tasha's Hideous...

Had a crazy game with this deck, repeatedly copying, killing, and recurring Ao, the Dawn Sky. Ratadrabik of Urborg is insane in this deck. My opponents were able to muster some countermeasures and I took a bit of a beating, but the value engine of my deck overcame that. It was a long game and...

Combing through this list for possible revisions, I'm finding that I really like it. Can't bring myself to make a lot of cuts. There is a new card I missed out on earlier. And now that it has my attention, I absolutely want it in here. -1 Elas, il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim +1 Vesuvan Drifter

The way that this deck operates, Sneak Attack is merely decent here. If I'm going to be running a merely decent red enchantment, I might as well have some more fun with it. It's been an aspiration of mine for some time now to work Raging River into an EDH deck. Let's do this. -1 Sneak Attack +1...

Piloted this deck twice last night. Won both games by comboing with Rosie + Animation Module + Ashnod's Altar. First time was pretty brutal and I just happened to put the combo pieces together at the last possible opportunity, but everything had gone against me up to that point. Second game was...

Scored my first fourth-turn victory with this deck. The other players at the table figured we might not have time to finish a game before the store closed, so I brought this deck out, then immediately got Gemstone Caverns in my opening hand. Everyone laughed when the realized what my deck was...

Ouch. Piloted this deck twice last night and never had access to red mana. Got trounced in one game. Another one sort of collapsed prematurely because the player who was close to probably winning ran out of time and had to scoop in the middle of his turn. The two of us left after that decided...

Bad breaks for this deck yesterday. I don't think my draws were egregiously terrible. First game I tried it, I got my final opponent down to 8 life and could have killed Kokusho again one more time to bring him down to 3 life, but had no way to finish him off and no way to survive his massive...

Running such bombs as Hill Giant and Tor Giant, I knew that there was some potential for me to have just undertuned this deck too much for it to be able to ever win a game. Well, the deck won its first game! Thanks to Defense of the Heart, I got some big giants set up and had a board state that...

Back in 2019, I officially embarked on my journey of trying to build EDH decks helmed by each of the original 55 legendary creatures. Then in 2022, WotC released the glorious "Legends Retold." This gave us 20 brand new reimagined versions of a selection of the original 55. I was hooked...

This deck just barely managed to achieve victory in an epic game last night. Among the new inclusions I did get to use Staff of the Storyteller (nifty) and Panharmonicon (won me the game). It was precarious, and two other decks were usually both ahead of me for most of the game, but neither of...

Started off pretty strong with a second turn Entomb into Reanimate on Kokusho. Even in EDH, where players start with 40 life, Kokusho can be pretty deadly when paired with graveyard recursion. I probably made some misplays and put myself in topdeck mode too much, but my opponents had to keep...
