You're not wrong. I haven't seen anyone try Tibalt's Trickery with Griselbrand, but Legacy players have used it to cast Emrakul. Since they're casting Emrakul instead of just cheating it onto the battlefield, they get the cast trigger too. So that's pretty brutal.

Although some of the core features, such as the adoption of Forbidden Orchard as an Oath enabler and the split between graveyard-based combo vs. planeswalker-based control, were already well-established by late 2000's, big changes were on the way. The early 2010's saw the introduction of...

Saprolings are fun. In my own decks, generally this has been either from Saproling Burst, Saproling Cluster, or Night Soil. But I've been toying with bringing back some of the other classic saproling generators. Elvish Farmer is (or will soon be) a $10 card. Is it all just Reserved List crap, or...

That sucks. I've been pretty fortunate so far in that I never had too much of my collection lost or stolen, and I think I've since replaced just about everything that did go missing. I know that there are cards that, were I to lose possession of them now, I'd likely never be able to replace them...

Needs Mor Beatdown Commander: Palladia-Mors (20 decks) I’m starting to notice that a lot of the Chronicles commander options have multiple budget decks so extreme that they’re down in the double digits. 6 out of the 20 Palladia-Mors decks are below $100. I’m assuming that there’s some prolific...

So I did a thing, but it's kinda the same topic as this article was, so I'll post in the same thread instead of starting a new one... This is a silly idea, but I thought it might be fun. I noticed that the website EDHrec wasn’t drawing on any of my decks for its data collection. So I fixed...

You might have thought I'd have found time to roll and update this round at some point during the long weekend. Apparently not! But here it is now. Better late than never? Also... Round 4 -The Power Phase is 6 for this turn. -The Winds of Magic attune themselves to Throg's will. Throg has an...

-Dorgath's Axe restores 1 Wound. -Dorgath's Lifestone of Ashraz restores 1 Wound (10/25). -Tomas draws 1 POW from his Chalice of Sorcery. -Tomas casts Life Force on Tyresius. -Tomas casts Lifebringer on himself (13/21), Dorgath (13/25), and Ty (20/20). Jekaena hears Dorgath call out to her to...

Well, turns out that while I was eating dinner last night and sorting/boxing my Strixhaven cards, I watched this entire series. I'll say that the commentary from the pros did temper some of my misgivings about the wonkiness here. They might have been even harder on the placement of basic lands...

Haven't watched the videos yet, but I think I get the gist of them from your post. Yeah, with 100 slots, people could quibble over placements all day and not get anywhere. So there might be cards I'd personally rank higher or lower, but that would be true for any list like this. Even if I ranked...

Yeah, Thassa's Oracle has caused Doomsday decks to shoot back up to tier 1 in Vintage again, and it's quite the bomb in Legacy too. It rules the cEDH tables. I think it sees a fair bit of Modern play as well. The card is nuts.

https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/may-19-2021-banned-and-restricted-announcement Thassa's Oracle is banned in Historic. That's all.

Once Tyrant Oath was established, most of the existing options for Vintage Oath decks were superceded or modified. Around 2011, that started to shift. I've been wondering how to describe developments in the intervening period. There were some notable creature payloads for Oath, but the most...

-Dorgath's Great Axe restores 1 of his Wounds. -Dorgath's Lifestone of Ashraz restores 1 of his Wounds (21/25). -Tomas casts Glory! -Jekaena casts Glittering Robe (4). -Jekaena casts Glittering Robe (1). -Kelgar blesses himself and Carrow with Vanquish. -Kelgar raises his Hammer of Spite toward...

Those are some interesting results. No single aspect you mentioned is a huge surprise, but it's nice to see something a bit more concrete than just theorizing. The two points of comparison that immediately spring to my mind would be a Kobold-Clamp deck (probably using Tangleroot) and some kind...

Pioneer has other advantages. WotC can release products like Modern Horizons, adding cards to Modern without worrying about balancing those cards for Pioneer or for Standard, and they can do stuff like Time Spiral Remastered without affecting Pioneer. Pioneer also started with the Khans of...

So, Pioneer. Where to begin? I don't know what the future holds for the Pioneer format, but even to start explaining my speculation on that, I need to go through the place of the format in Magic's history. This touches on some topics I thought might make for good article material, but didn't...

Welcome back. So, what happened with the site was that last year, an inactive Admin account was hacked, and in order to save the site, Ed had to restore it from a backed-up version. Unfortunately, this had the side effect of purging all private messages in our archives, the Rules Question Board...

Next round... -The Power Phase is 3 for this turn.

-The Power Phase is 3 for this turn. -Passing by Carrow, the other Warriors follow Ty along the right side of the room, advancing on the necromancer. -Tomas casts Rebound on Ty. -Tomas casts Rebound on Dorgath. -Jekaena casts Glittering Robe (3). -Jekaena casts Glittering Robe (3). -Kelgar...
