I guess I'll exchange control of Melkor's Dire Fleet Hoarder an Melkor's other Dire Fleet Hoarder. You're all welcome. :rolleyes:

About twenty years ago, I heard talk in a local game story about a creature called a "hippie." I had no idea what it meant. It seemed like such a strange name for a creature. So I inquired. And some more experienced players showed me Hypnotic Specter. It wasn't long before I was using...

You continue along the path, which gradually climbs upward. In the distance ahead, you see a massive old log fallen diagonally, leaning on a tree ahead of you. Something seems to be scaling the log, but you can't get a good look at it from back here...

I've been checking in about every day. Been a bit busy lately, but yeah, I'm still around of course. Don't really have anything else to add as far as the topic of this thread goes. My position hasn't really changed.

Take it.

:eek: This could be it... UUD, done. Spidey: 11 Hand: 1 Library: 45 Battlefield: (T,T) Forest x2 (T) Swamp (T) Jungle Hollow (~ ETB tapped.; When ~ ETB, I gain 1 life.; T: Add B or G to my mana pool) (T) Llanowar Wastes (T: Add C to my mana pool.; T: Add B or G to my mana pool. ~ deals 1...

UUD, Battlefield Thaumaturge, and then... -Flames of the Firebrand with 2 damage on Tasigur and 1 damage on Sultai Emissary, so it's discounted to only cost R. Guttersnipe hits you for 2, then Sultai Emissary dies and Tasigur sustains 2 damage. Also, something is manifested. -Lightning Strike...

Yikes, I forgot Tasigur was in that deck!

So yeah, my appreciation for Elephant Guide came about almost entirely because of this one deck, but it really did pull its weight and then some. Despite a small card pool (starting out with three booster packs and then expanding to four and finally five), I was able to get a kind of theme...

Take it.

Done. Spidey: 14 Hand: 3 Library: 50 Battlefield: (T,U) Forest x2 (T) Swamp (T) Jungle Hollow (~ ETB tapped.; When ~ ETB, I gain 1 life.; T: Add B or G to my mana pool) (S) Sultai Emissary (1/1; When ~ dies, manifest the top card of my library) Graveyard: Nantuko Husk, Rot Shambler...

Attack with Guttersnipe. Blocks/responses?

UUD, Mountain, Searing Blood on Rot Shambler. Responses?

So like I said, this "Chaos League" deck was a blast to play, although I did feel at times like I had a slight "pay to win" advantage against people who bought "normal" booster packs like Amonkhet. This was the final version of my deck, after I opened five booster packs... 1 Bone Splinters 1...

Like I said, Elephant Guide didn't make too much of an impression on me in Judgment. It was reprinted in Conspiracy, but I somehow missed doing anything with it there. I also didn't do much experimentation with the Duel Decks that included the card. So it wasn't until Eternal Masters that I...

Elephant Guide was first printed in Judgment in 2002. As detailed in various previous posts around here, I wasn't actually playing with "new" cards at that time. In 2002, I was still only playing with cards from Prophecy and older sets. I know I mentioned this before so I won't go into excessive...

I look at the cards I've chosen lately for "Magic Memories" and see stuff like Tolarian Academy and Necropotence. Some might accuse me of mostly having fond memories of "broken" cards and being a "jerk." Surely this issue keeps me tossing and turning at nights, wracked with guilt. And yet I can...

UUD, Island, Guttersnipe, done. Spidey: 20 Hand: 4 Library: 51 Battlefield: (T,T) Forest x2 (T) Swamp (T) Rot Shambler (2/2; Whenever another creature I control dies, put a +1/+1 ctr on ~) *1 +1/+1 counter* Graveyard: Nantuko Husk Exile...

"It's a scroll that can invoke the Halo of Vengeance spell. Powerful. Tomas or Kelgar should have the skill to tap into it, or I could of course. Only one use, though. Hm, this place does some strange things to magic. We should hurry up and get out of here..." Halo of Vengeance: Surrounds the...
