Oops, still haven't sleeved these up. But I guess since they were all released at the same time, we just pair them up randomly?

Bump?

Haha, so that and the potion he used earlier were both things that he got randomly from sections in the Wizard's Guild. Now that he used that power, it's gone. Whenever he visits a Wizard's Guild, he can pay gold for a "Consultation" and one of the potential results is +1D6 Strength for one turn...

-Dorgath's axe heals 1 of his Wounds (yes, I forgot to include that in my previous post). -The Power Phase is 3. -Dorgath's Lifestone of Ashraz restores 2 of his Wounds (22/25). -Jekaena casts Finger of Life, but it fizzles. -Jekaena casts Finger of Life, but it fizzles. -Tomas casts Life Force...

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

-The Power Phase is 3. -Dorgath's Lifestone of Ashraz restores 1 of his Wounds (21/25). -Jekaena casts Finger of Life on Ty (13/20). -Jekaena casts Finger of Life again, but it fizzles. -Tomas casts Glory! Everyone in the party gets +1 Attacks this turn. -Kelgar fails to bless anything. -Ty...

I'm sure the vast majority of usage of this card has been in decks containing just one copy. I'll move on to that soon. But as a final note on the potential for multiple copies in one deck, I do remember that at one point I advocated that Library should be unrestricted in Vintage. This was a few...

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

-The Power Phase is 5 for this turn. -Dorgath's Lifestone of Ashraz restores 2 of his Wounds (22/25). -Jekaena casts Heal Wounds on herself (10/14). -Jekaena casts Heal Wounds on herself (12/14). -Tomas is still ethereal. -Kelgar blesses Ty and Tomas with Power of Sigmar, healing them (11/20...

Dorgath cannot fight and eat stonebread at the same time. Alas, no. I think I rolled three 5's on that spell, but it has to roll 6 to work.

I didn't set out to legitimize the notion that Library is the "tenth power." It's a quirk of the game's history that it got called that or that the "Power 9" concept came about in the first place. This is all relative anyway. Tons of players never got experience with other old, rare cards like...

"But Oversoul," you inquire, "how is that stupid pile of cards supposed to actually win games? Is it some obnoxious combo?" Well, I'm glad you asked, because yes, it's the most obnoxious combo. I realized explosive potential of The Gitrog Monster + Dakmor Salvage (particularly with a discard...

By coincidence, I just had this "I can't believe it's not legendary" thing come up in a game yesterday! My copy of Library of Alexandria has been dwelling in my "Colored Spells are for Nerds" Canadian Highlander deck, and in one game, I got Mishra's Workshop, Library of Alexandria, Vesuva, and...

Tomas: "Who am I focusing on healing here? Kelgar's Ring of Jade whiffed this round. But anyone can use any healing items ordinarily available, on top of 26 points of healing distributed however you guys like. I'll roll for the Power Phase once that part is decided. Also, for ease of...

-Throg's Ice Missile flies too high. -Throg fails to hypnotize anything. -Throg catches the troll alongside Tomas with his axe (23/30). -Throg grabs the troll and sinks his fangs into it (17/30). -Throg hacks into the troll again (12/30). -Throg chops a third time (8/30). -Throg kicks at a...

It says, "up to two." So you could choose zero.

Version 6.0: The Monster is back! Um, more to follow. When I feel like it. Looking at this list, you might think, "But Oversoul, that's a completely different deck." And yes, I kinda is. But also, this is the best deck name ever and I'm not letting it go. Long live Gitrog County Municipal Lake...

Good game. Dictate of Heliod is overpowered in a slower-paced environment like this. Had it in my opening hand and when I saw that you hadn't been able to take over the board, I had a feeling it'd be potent. Well, that's all of the Event decks (except the Modern one). But we could continue...

Note to self: after Throg's spell, Tomas and Kelgar combined roll enough to fully heal each other. Should have just checked on that yesterday. Oops. Distribute gold accordingly... You move further along the path. River trolls are a distinct breed of troll. Their skin emits a noxious miasma...
