There are plenty of concepts for long-form content that I could reasonably choose from to write about, Comboist Manifesto style. Since I’m not a reasonable man, I’m choosing something stupid instead. Feel free to suggest better topics, so that I might ignore your cogent suggestions and do a deep...

I know, right? You were inside the tree for a while, yes. Now you're underneath it. Anyway, I did not accurately predict how long it would take me to write up that recap, but it's too late now! I figured, "Oh, I can knock this out in a couple of hours and then we'll have it so if we need a...

The passage into the tree became a spiraling staircase, then things got weird. The wall, wooden at first, shifted into some kind of translucent material. Strange lights were constantly appearing and pulsing through the walls. Time began to warp around the party. A sudden gust of wind through the...

Travel with the wood elves was generally uneventful, but once the party arrived in Talsyn, things got more heated, with the party arriving on the heels of a recent uproar over foreign invaders. Revaethan attempted to appeal to the priestesses that Carrow was to be their savior and such, but the...

Traversing a Chaos gate, the party found themselves in a weird, infinitely looping corridor trap, but were able to discover a secret door that led into a large dungeon. They found what first appeared to be a statue, but deduced that it was actually Grimcrag Grunnson and two fleeing goblins...

This will take a couple of posts, but I'll have it all up by some time tonight. Behold, a recap to tie together (most) of the various discoveries that the party has made thus far... Throg, Dorgath, Carrow, and Kelgar had all independently come to owe some debt to a wizard/merchant named...

Good question. I just checked on the Chaos Warrior's Alcoholism attribute, and it specifies that potions do still work. So Throg would get a roll on the table for the Magic Potion and a second role on the table for his Alcoholism. It has been a while since I did a recap. I'll write one up soon...

I think Turgy mostly covered it already. The big mechanic for this set is the "venture into the dungeon" effect, which is a bit complicated. There's also cards that make you roll a D20. There's a minor new mechanic for creatures called "pack tactics" that does something when the creature is...

Tomas rifles through the necromancer's notes. He burns a few items in disgust, but takes particular note of some scrawlings. "Well, maybe we're getting more answers here. This guy was working for Orm, a name we've run into before. Powerful necromancer. He also mentioned Khaligri, and Darenaeok...

Dorgath quickly ascertains that the chest with the glint of gold in the corner of the room is the legitimate article, and there's plenty of gold to go around. After everyone catches their breath and collects their spoils of victory, the following items in the room are identified. -Magic key...

Hey there, I want to try something a little different. So there might not be some exhaustive report on all the different creature types in the new Magic set. At least, not yet. If that's all you're looking for, then check this space again later. A report will be forthcoming. But things worked...

-Dorgath's Great Axe restores 1 Wound. -Dorgath's Lifestone of Ashraz restores 1 Wound (18/25). -Jekaena casts Finger of Life on Tomas (fizzles). -Jekaena casts Finger of Life on Tomas, restoring 5 Wounds. -Jekaena casts Finger of Life on Tomas, fully restoring his Wounds (21/21). -Tomas draws 3...

I managed to break my glasses. Have an appointment for tomorrow, so I won't be able to get back to this before then.

While I do love a good Tendrils of Agony, it's totally unnecessary here. You can simply loop through the "Lost Mine of Phandelver" dungeon a bunch of times. Your opponents will probably run out of life before you run out of cards in your library. Failing that, you've made a bunch of treasure...

I'll try to post a link later, but their website keeps going down because it is bad. -Hullbreacher is banned. Yeah, that's fair.

This is one of the new cards spoiled for Adventures in the Forgotten Realms. Acererak, the Archlich 2B Legendary Creature — Zombie Wizard When ~ enters the battlefield, if you have not completed Tomb of Annihilation, return ~ to its owner’s hand and venture into the dungeon. Whenever ~ attacks...

There's a known trend in Vintage for most of the 2010's, in which Oath decks took up a small share of the metagame most of the time, but were usually more prolific in major tournaments. It became an expected factor in Vintage tournament analysis and discussion, as savvy players came to...

Image looks a bit weird here. Been a while since I did it this way, so I forgot what settings I used. Anyway... Throg: 29/29 Dorgath: 16/25 Carrow: 17/17 Tyresius: 20/20 Kelgar: 18/19 Tomas: 13/21 Revaethan: 18/18 Jekaena: 14/14 Wight 1: 14/14 Wight 2: 11/14 Wight 3: 14/14 Wight 4: 14/14 Crypt...

Next round... -The Power Phase is 6. Throg becomes overwhelmed by the surge of magical energy and drops to his knees.
