Behold, I have improved on my crude representation of the board state by switching from hyphens as markers for blank spaces to these little box characters. I think that it adds a bit more clarity...

Tomas and Kelgar move forward to support the front rank, with Carrow slipping past the confused Tyresius to attack the branchwraiths with his sword. Jekaena follows hesitantly... BB□B RTDC KO□□ □□J□ □□□Y □□□□ Next turn... -The Power Phase is 1. An Unexpected Event occurs!

EOT, activate Leap on Sultai Emissary, reveal Eyeless Watcher and put it into my hand, manifest a card, scry the top card of my library to the bottom. UUD, Delve away my graveyard to cast Murderous Cut on Spellheart Chimera. Responses?

For which card? You mean just in general? I'd actually agree that those are the two likeliest explanations overall. I can think of individual cards where I think another explanation is a better fit. Case in point: Dingus Egg. It was restricted in 1994 because land destruction was considered too...

Sure, there are more cards now. Different formats too. And now we have MTGO. And there are more players. And Magic theory has evolved. And we've seen power creep, color pie shifts, new archetypes, new ways to play the game... Obviously a lot of things are different now. A simple answer to the...

Hey, let's use Dream Halls as an example! Again! Not sure why I named this thread "Magic Memories: Tolarian Academy" if I'm going to keep insisting on talking about Dream Halls... For a real blast from the past, here's a thread I started in 2004. Now, it's not my intention to call out a...

EOT activate Leap sacrificing Blisterpod, reveal Sultai Emissary (bottom the other card on the scry). UUD, Jungle Hollow, attack with Catacomb Sifter and two Eldrazi Scion tokens. Blocks/responses?

It does say "choose target permanent." So I'd think it doesn't get around hexproof and shroud.

When I try to talk about consequences, about the effects on thing had on another, it can be frustrating to try to sort everything out. After all, none of these cards/decks/whatever are any more inextricably linked to each other than they are to anything else in the game as a whole. And yet...

Do let me know if that part changes.

Leave the card on top. UUD, Swamp, Catacomb Sifter, Blisterpod, done. Spidey: 16 Hand: 3 Library: 45 Battlefield: (T,T,T) Mt x3 (T,T) Island x2 (U) Izzet Guildgate (~ ETB tapped.; T: Add U or R to my mana pool) (S) Young Pyromancer (2/1; Whenever I cast an instant or sorcery spell...

:eek: Well, in response to Anger of the Gods, I'll sac my Eldrazi Scion, then scry 1.

Jumping back to the history of Academy itself for a bit, the card had been restricted in Type 1 to stop the dominance of the Academy deck, but combo decks with only one copy of Academy, commonly known as "Neo-Academy" were still possible. Type 1 records from back then are deplorably sparse, and...

Done. Spidey: 16 Hand: 7 Library: 46 Battlefield: (U,U) Mt x2 (U,U) Island x2 (T) Izzet Guildgate (~ ETB tapped.; T: Add U or R to my mana pool) Graveyard: Divination, Guttersnipe Exile: ================================================================================ Oversoul: 15 Hand: 3...

Turn Blisterpod face-up, Magma Jet kills it, you Scry 2, I scry 1 (put the top card on the bottom), I get an Eldrazi Scion from Blisterpod dying, delve away my graveyard to cast Murderous Cut on Guttersnipe. Anything else?

-Dorgath becomes terrified of wraiths (yes, his axe helps him resist it, but it wasn't enough this time). He gets -2 to hit them this combat. -Carrow becomes terrified of wraiths.

That's three. Just need one more...

Put the card on the bottom. Evolutionary Leap reveals... Forest Forest Nantuko Husk Put Husk into my hand, put lands on the bottom of my library. Proceed to combat damage?

Oops, forgot to confirm that I am indeed dead. Good game. That was some epic teamwork, so I guess you guys deserved to win. I guess. Maybe. Kicking myself for thinking it was like 2HG and that you could block for each other, but I don't think it mattered. I hit a land pocket and whiffed too...
