Block Sailor of Means with Charging Monstrosaur. Block Dire Fleet Hoarder #2 with Dinosaur token.

Oops. Uh, no responses to declaration of attackers. Move to declare blockers?

In a Storm deck or other deck that aims to cast multiple copies of Rite of Flame, the synergy with cards that let the card be recast from the graveyard is profound. In Vintage particularly, the power of Dark Ritual as a mana-production engine with Yawgmoth's Will is well-known. TES achieves a...

Thread necromancy! Hey, this thread's corpse was practically still fresh... So I've probably reopened the old wounds of the Legacy banning of Survival of the Fittest more than anyone else on the planet, even though I didn't originally set out to do that, but I keep circling back around to the...

Anyway, an interesting play that has been part of the TES toolbox is to use Infernal Tutor on Rite of Flame as setup for a kill. Ordinarily, Infernal Tutor is paired with Lion's Eye Diamond. But if you don't have it and can't achieve Hellbent, fetching another copy of the mana accelerant that...

Not helping, Cardboard Crack!

And then you cast Bloodsoaked Champion, right?

It's all relative. Compared to Kelgar, Tomas has equal Weapon Skill, equal Strength, and equal Toughness, but Kelgar does wear armor. They both get 1D6 for damage on their attacks and they both have 2 Attacks, so most of the difference will be in their weapons. However, Kelgar's Ring of Command...

Spiderman pointed out that Jekaena has been accompanying the party for a while in our long "The Sylvan Epic" adventure, but that her actual character sheet isn't in this thread, where it'd be easier to reference than buried within the 60 or so pages of that adventure thread. This oversight is...

The Epic Storm is probably my favorite Legacy deck. And it's been a small part of the format since 2006, so it's undergone some substantial changes. The only truly consistent features over time have been... Dark Ritual, Lotus Petal, Rite of Flame, and Chrome Mox as mana accelerants. The Lion's...

Since Rokapoke remains indefinitely elusive, and since this isn't happening on a tabletop and not everything is necessarily clear on this medium, I should just note... Tomas is, relative to the rest of the party, mediocre in melee combat, although if he had to, he could close some of the...

-Ty's Pit Training kicks in. He may move and attack before the combat phase starts.

A bit annoyed with myself because I really wanted to get to this yesterday and didn't. But we're doing this now anyway. Let's see. First, by popular demand, a map of the "room" using Turgy's improved method... L L L _ L T D Y L O J _ L R K C T=Throg D= Dorgath Y= Tyresius O=Tomas J=Jekaena...

You proceed, arriving at the point Ty was going to scout out, but didn't. There are now trolls here. That's what was climbing up, apparently. Trolls. But take heart: you were going to have to pass through here anyway and fight them even if you'd known about them beforehand. Also, they're big and...

No mulligan here. Frontier Bivouac, done. Spidey: 20 Hand: ? Library: ?? Battlefield: Graveyard: Exile: ===================================================================================== Oversoul: 20 Hand: 6 Library: 53 Battlefield: (T) Frontier Bivouac (~ etb tapped. T: add G, U, or R to...

It's sitting three feet behind my decks at home but I still haven't sleeved it up! :oops: Haven't been home much. Soon, though. Oh, I guess I can at least flip a coin... Tails!

The Time Spiral era Standard Storm decks powered by Rite of Flame are interesting, and I think between the different combinations they showcase some great tools for how a Storm deck can function. There's a lot more I could touch on, and perhaps I should. It's almost certainly the case that these...

One of the most iconic moments in tournament history that I always see cited is Game 4 of the semifinals of the 2007 World Championships. Pat Chapin and Gabriel Nassif were both playing Dragonstorm decks. Nassif was behind and needed to win the game to get to Game 5, but he got off to a bad...
