I mean, you can't win a booster draft in this way because everyone gets the same number of packs. You also can't really count on pack-openings to improve your chances of winning in Legacy, because it might not be feasible to find unopened packs for sale that contain the cards you could use to...
OK, I feel like getting back to this. In May, I looked at why each of the five colors might be called the best color to use with Smokestack. I won't cover all of the possible multicolored options (after all, there are 26 of them and there'd be tons of overlap). But it's notable that many of the...
Well, it's really still too early to claim that there's an established niche, something potentially long-lasting. But Urza is making some waves in Constructed formats, so I'd say that my hopes are generally vindicated. Of course Urza is the best monoblue commander and is a great card for...
I took so long brutally murdering Mooseman with your broken plane that I forgot to take away a life from myself for Phyrexian Arena. Fixed.

Deck Name: Gitrog Dredge
Magic Format: cEDH
Insight: So many. Where to start? A commander deck that is entirely reliant on a combo between the deck's commander and a specific card can be sufficiently fast and robust to compete at the highest levels of competitive play. This deck needs Dakmor...
Haven't forgotten this. Realized I still needed to find sleeves for Dangerous last night and put it off. Should have just stolen them from the Armed deck I played last game. Either way, I'll sleeve it up tonight.
Activate Cabal Coffers (floating BBBBBBB). Roll the planar die (BBBBBB), blank, roll the planar die (BBBB), blank, roll the planar die (B), blank. Tap some swamps, roll the planar die one more time. CHAOS!
Attack Mooseman again. Lethal damage?
I skipped the usual Commander League to participate in this $200 Budget event run by Magic of Browns Point.
When a robust multicolored manabase is a factor, $200 doesn't go very far. So I figured I'd better go monocolor. I was tentatively going to try Yisan, Wanderer Bard. But then some...
Someone asked Richard Garfield that question after he wrote about "Skinnerware" and he did admit that he wasn't entirely comfortable with the similarity. It does seem like a lot of his output since he moved on from Magic has been trying to come up with a less exploitative model. Stuff like...
Will also post an updated map of the room. Right now I've got...
Coril: H5
Throg: E3
Revaethan: E7
Carrow: D1
Dorgath: B5
Ty: B1
Kelgar: B7
Tomas: A8
Jekaena: A6
-Tomas draws upon his stored Power. He casts Spear of Light at Coril (3 damage).
-Tomas casts Rebound on Throg.
-Jekaena casts Heal Wounds and fully restores Throg's Wounds.
-Kelgar fails to bless anything.
-Coril shoots at Throg, but has trouble with the shimmering field around the Chaos...
You held out for a surprising amount of time. Thought for a bit you'd make a comeback! Good game.
Yes, I will now deploy the proper deck this time. Hopefully you don't topdeck Collected Company like I did this game. :p
