You know, I don't have any documents with dimensions, but I'll assume that "gigantic" spiders are bigger than "giant" spiders. I'm not sure what the details are. I assume that the game designers wanted a higher-level option with better stats. Uh, giant spiders are depicted with goblins riding...

Take it.

UUD... Swamp, attack TomB with the Horror token that must attack him and attack Spidey with everything else. Blocks/responses?

UUD, Plains, Imposing Sovereign, done. Spidey: 20 Hand: 5 Library: 52 Battlefield: (T,T) Swamp x2 (U) Rakdos Shred-Freak (2/1; Haste) Graveyard: Exile: ================================================================================ Oversoul: 18 Hand: 6 Library: 51 Battlefield: (T)...

Also, I bring this up about the Dimir because they like it when you forget about them, Psarketos. Getting you to try to de-emphasize them is all part of their master plan. I offer this warning as a loyal denizen of the best guild of all.

I'm confused. You mention an environment without counter/discard elements, and then describe gameplay with counter/discard elements. Presumably the green uncounterable stuff worked because it circumvented countermagic. And Draw-Go usually means countermagic. Torment of Hailfire is discard. So...

That "Affinity" list looks amazing.

At some point I'll do my rant on Mark Rosewater's "psychographic profiles." The topic can be frustrating because people at WotC will employ the concept in a very oversimplified hand-wavey manner and players see that, but then when they complain about something related to the concept, Mark...

Now that you mention it, although I didn't specifically cover the card, I've probably underrated Doomfall. Both effects are potent things along the lines of what I'm used to for one or two mana, and moving them up to a three-drop is, from a competitive standpoint, a big jump. So I wasn't...

I played Necro in Type 1.5, but I can assure you that my lists were suboptimal. I lacked experience and I lacked a strong collection of cards for deckbuilding. So my own scrubtastic Necro endeavors didn't really represent Necropotence in Type 1.5. Also, unfortunately, Type 1.5 was one of the...

They're probably big enough to ride. Whether one could move very well with Throg's weight remains to be seen, but the spider would be unlikely to cooperate. Yes, but these are gigantic spiders. Warhammer Quest has both. :p

Man, nothing comes to mind though. I'm a bit of a fan of Legacy Pox, which is very controlling, but it's all nonbos with Lich's Mastery. Definitely the wrong niche for this. Hm, maybe something resembling Nic Fit? Nah. Well, I'm stumped. But my problem is right now I'm thinking "Eternal" and not...

As far as countermagic and discard spells are concerned, I guess I'm not sure what your scope is. I mean, it's theoretically possible. We talked about the mana system and how it has been used in interesting ways despite some fundamental flaws that probably wouldn't be used in a game by a...

I don't think so. I'm not specifically attached to Grixis. It is one of the stronger three-color combinations in Eternal formats, and I've put some focus on Eternal formats over the years. But given the option, I'd take Sultai as my three-color combination. And when possible, I'd prefer to play...

Scrolls of Azcanta Event Each player draws two cards, then each of your opponents discards two cards.

I don't really have a good sense for the pulse of Standard to comment much on Mike Flores' analysis of Lich's Mastery. And when it comes to formats with larger card pools, as with any new six-mana enchantment, my hopes are tempered with some appreciation for what it takes to make a six-mana...

I would seem to be inconveniently tapped out with no flying blockers. :(

I just want to know whether I'm Darkwing Duck or I'm Negaduck in this scenario!

In my own experience (which is actually considerable because I played my casual Necro-Donate deck for far longer than its lifetime sanctioned tournament formats), the heart of the archetype, whatever name you give it, was the strangely subtle chaining of synergies kickstarted by Necropotence...

As far as Necro-Donate in Extended, this is the point where I get kinda stuck. The question that comes to mind is, "How good was it?" and really, I'm not sure. I haven't seen enough data to paint a clear picture, and testimonial accounts on this strike me as unreliable... Most post-mortem...
