Yikes. UUD, Plains, done. :( Spidey: 20 Hand: 4 Library: 50 Battlefield: (T,T) Mt x2 (T) Bomat Courier (1/1; Haste; Whenever ~ attacks, exile the top card of my library face down.; R, Discard my hand, sac ~: Put all cards exiled with ~ into their owner's hands) (S) Kari Zev, Skyship Raider...

So I had some other aspects to talk about, but by coincidence, I happen to have hit a patch of games in which I drew Library of Alexandria in my opening hand. I think I won all but one of those. It is, of course, a very strong opening play. One of the games was multiplayer and I actually kept...

The path widens again and you pass uneventfully through more of the canopy. Ahead, the twisting bridge of tree limbs drops and leads to a mossy stone wall. This must be Welhallas. But you're not out of the woods yet. Literally. Also figuratively. Dryads leap from the treetops to intercept you...

Take it.

UUD, Island, done. Spidey: 20 Hand: 5 Library: 52 Battlefield: (T) Mt (T) Bomat Courier (1/1; Haste; Whenever ~ attacks, exile the top card of my library face down.; R, Discard my hand, sac ~: Put all cards exiled with ~ into their owner's hands) Graveyard: Exile: Face down card from...

I didn't anticipate when I mentioned the name of the organizing group in the first post that I'd make this rather flip remark later, so I should clarify that the event was fun overall and that the guys who set it up had their reasons. I didn't meant that they are stupid and I'm really not even...

Round Four: Team Can't Win Solo vs. Team Ed, Edd, and Deady Team Ed, Edd, and Deady comprised Matt and Brady. They probably had the best deck combination in the whole tournament and were the pair Eric was most afraid to face. Eric was well appraised of what they were up to: he constructed...

Round Three: Team Can't Win Solo vs. Team Jumba Wumba Team Jumba Wumba was Mycol and Todd. They had tested with us before and we knew exactly what we were up against. We'd always beaten them in those games, but Eric was worried because this was the real deal and they'd learned to point their...

Round Two: Team Can't Win Solo vs. Team Standby The was one of two "Standby" teams, but I think the other one was able to choose a different name. They were at a disadvantage because they didn't design their decks together. I can't seem to remember who was piloting one of the decks, but the...

Round One: Team Can't Win Solo vs. Team The Lone Rangers "The Lone Rangers" were Sean and Mclane. They had an interesting and powerful pair of decks. Trash for Treasure Commander: Daretti, Scrap Savant 1 Arch of Orazca 1 Basalt Monolith 1 Blasphemous Act 1 Blinkmoth Nexus 1 Bosh, Iron Golem...

So a group called "Magic of Browns Point"* has organized some local budget Commander events, and today they ran a Two-Headed Giant version. It was decided that each deck couldn't cost more than $150 and deck couldn't include any cards in common with its companion deck. My friend, Eric, and I...

https://canadianhighlander.wordpress.com/rules-the-points-list-and-deck-construction/ My points are now Birthing Pod, Demonic Tutor, Protean Hulk, and Survival of the Fittest.

Forgot to mention a while ago I did this card swap due to the Points List change... -1 Enlightened Tutor +1 Birthing Pod Hasn't mattered yet, as I haven't drawn Birthing Pod in a real game since putting it in. Should be good, though.

As you continue along the path, Kelgar heals Revaethan's wounds and the party is fully recuperated, ready for action. You are delayed a bit because the power-laden atmosphere of the Wildwood briefly incapacitates Throg, but nothing attacks and the Chaos Warrior shrugs the episode off. The...

It's been a while, but this deck finally used Arena Rector. I think it's pretty good, but as it happened, I didn't trust it enough at the time. Played a bunch of Canadian Highlander last night, with multiple games using all three of my current Canadian Highlander decks. The last game was an epic...

Good point.

That's why I said, "I guess trivia is supposed to be obscure and all." I don't think there's a hard and fast rule on this stuff. But at some point, you drift from "tricky questions most people can't answer, but interesting" and more toward "gotcha!" I guess my take is that this quiz has a bit of...

I got 21, but some of them were a little silly. I mean, I guess trivia is supposed to be obscure and all, but asking stuff like, "What percentage of the cards in this set were black?" feels a little too specifically related to the nitty-gritty set design stuff and not to the game itself. No...

OK, ready for real now...

Heads it is. And I randomly picked (out of the three other decks) Second Sun Control for this one. I'll shuffle it up this evening.
