The package based around Form of the Dragon was the one that really put Enduring Ideal in the limelight. I noted that the naysayers (myself included) viewed Enduring Ideal as an expensive enchantment-fetching tool along the lines of Academy Rector, but with too severe a drawback. We didn't think...

I'll say that in combination with the warhammers to knock rocks loose and the staff as a lever, you could definitely make an opening large enough for everyone to pass through (single file), but that if you use this method, there's a small chance that the staff will break. Small-ish, anyway...

Yeah, after digging around a bit, I think the "Tannenbaum" spelling is the official version. The "Tanenbaum" spelling is either just outright wrong or very deprecated. So I'll edit it to that. Thanks, TomB.

It seems that no one has a proper pick. Kelgar does have two warhammers, which might work, although they're somewhat awkward for the task at hand.

I've seen it spelled both ways. Probably kind of like how a lot of old words were spelled inconsistently in English over the centuries? I dunno.

They range in size. Most of them are small enough to move by hand, but they're wedged in with some bigger ones that are too heavy for that.

Last night, I was trying to come up with a Christmas-themed deck to play today, as this would be my last night to get some games in before Christmas. Obvious candidates were some kind of snow-based deck, a gift-giving deck, and a deck that makes non-flying creatures into flying creatures. Those...

Oh no! It shouldn't look like treasure at all. It's rubble. A cave-in. On closer inspection, Dorgath can easily tell that it's a small, superficial cave-in. Perhaps it was done deliberately to block the exit. It would be easy to clear with a pick, but Dorgath didn't bring one...

Alright. I've got the staff going to Kelgar, the book going to Tomas, and the sword going to Carrow.

Indeed it is. In my last three games with this deck (one this week, and two last week), I got an early Sensei's Divining Top on the board and either drew into or tutored into Mystic Forge. Very explosive, and that interaction got Mystic Forge restricted in Vintage a couple years ago. Prior to...

The bridge is surprisingly more robust than it looks, and crossing it is easy for everyone. Ty leads the way and remains alert, but no threats emerge. Tomas examines the items that were tucked into the rubble pile... Staff of Osiris: Once per turn, can be used to launch a beam that deals 1D6+3...

Mystic Forge is quite the Magic card, huh?

Dragons smash. Jund 'em out. Vaevictis Asmadi just might be the third-best original elder dragon of them all. Top three, for sure. Maybe. Probably. I had enough fun with the Bad Giants deck that I figured I should do Bad Dragons too. Amazingly, this deck won two out of three games, even though...

Hey, this deck finally won a game! Nothing particularly special happened in gameplay. I just made some elementals and attacked. The game was pretty close and had some back-and-forth, but none of the particular answers that were fielded really stopped Omnath, so I came out on top in the end. It...

With no threats to distract them, Throg, Dorgath, and Carrow arrange themselves around the frozen mummy. Tomas and Kelgar stand back and augment the three of them with magic and blessings. Jekaena moves in behind Tomas and uses her own magic to strengthen the Warriors. As soon as the ice prison...

I like Magic podcasts. I'll have to check "Kicking Myself" out. I do not know anything about Fantasy Football.

-Dorgath's Axe restores 1 Wound. -Dorgath's Lifestone of Ashraz restores 3 Wounds (23/25). -Tomas draws on his stored POW (11/15). -Tomas casts Spear of Light, tossing the luminous beacon at Jekaena's assailant. The zombie becomes impaled on a glowing bolt of magical energy, and tumbles along...

Well, this deck's losing streak continues unabated, but getting games in has given me a bit more information that I might use to update the list in the future. In my most recent game with this deck, I kept a one-land hand and was able to use that to ramp into Omnath pretty quickly, but one...

So you named your cat after a Magic card, but misspelled it? :p

I threw this deck together to give people things to be thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Commander: 1 Angus Mackenzie 1 Abeyance 1 Abundance 1 Arbiter of Knollridge 1 Arcane Denial 1 Arcum's Astrolabe 1 Ashnod's Altar 1 Beast Within 1 Bloom Tender 1 Brainstorm 1 Constant Mists 1...
