Exile was another card I got a lot of mileage out of! Perhaps not enough that I'd think to do a Memories thread for it, but it was a fine card nevertheless. Speaking of Disintegrate, and this is a bit of a tangent but I said Kaervek's Torch was just a stand-in for red X spells anyway... The...

No mulligan here. Forest, Elvish Mystic, done. Spidey: 20 Hand: ? Library: ?? Battlefield: Graveyard: Exile: ================================================================================ Oversoul: 20 Hand: 5 Library: 53 Battlefield: (T) Forest (S) Elvish Mystic (1/1; T: adds G to my...

This could easily have been Magic Memories: Fireball. Maybe it should have been Magic Memories: Fireball. Arguably, Fireball is the better card. Although really, there are several options with their own unique features... Historically, some of those weren't around yet for many of the decks...

Bah, it seems that I forgot to dig this deck box out and sleeve it. I know I have it. I just got distracted. I'll find it tonight. Anyway, I flipped tails...

High and Dry, Pirates' Market Site At the beginning of your end step, you may discard a card. If you do, draw a card. (So this one's permanent, but other players can steal it by having their creatures damage Mooseman in combat).

He's around somewhere, but it's a big operation. Is Dorgath formally requesting that a message get passed along to him?

Psarketos has made a couple of good points in this thread, which I didn't really respond to directly, but they're still here. That's the nice thing about message boards. I wasn't sure how much this thread was going to be discussion and how much it was just going to be me being longwinded. I've...

I vaguely recall other attempts at this sort of "now no one gets to do anything" goal. What's fascinating is that it has become possible to reach a state in which one is achieving this with a simultaneous "Look Ma, no cards!" engine. Per the rules, token are not cards, and with stuff like...

Dorgath quickly discerns that this dwarven excursion is a combined effort by multiple clans. The dwarves involved do all seem to recognize one authority, though. It seems that their clans all sent them at the behest of Runelord Yaggrin.

The troops at the temple shake their heads... "We didn't see where he went, and we've been preoccupied with this invasion. He's dangerous, though." Jekaena seems lost in thought for a minute, then speaks... "I already know where he went. We don't need to track him. He's waiting for me to...

After I said I'd compare Modern to other formats, it occurred to me that, moreso than Legacy or the old Extended, the important comparison is really to an unsanctioned format: Frontier. I think Psarketos mentioned it at one point. This being a relatively new unsanctioned format, I don't know...

I don't know if this falls within the scope of memories about Tendrils of Agony, but it's been bugging me for a while and I've touched on the subject before... In my previous post, I wrote about broken cards and using them with Tendrils of Agony. I've gotten some first-turn kills over the...

Revaethan doesn't really want to respond, but everyone is looking at him... "I don't know if we can help you there. We journeyed from the Grove of Eternity to stop a traitorous soldier from raiding this temple..." "You mean Coril," one of the guards interrupts. "He was here. I think he knew...

I don't think that I have a lot of old casual Tendrils decklists saved, but while reminiscing on these things, I remembered that I'd archived Nick's old Enchantress Bloom deck here at the CPA. This is the list... 4x Enchantress's Presence 4x Argothian Enchantress 2x Demonic Tutor 1x Helix...

You make your way to the temple, where some bewildered guards greet Revaethan... "You're a welcome face in this time of crisis, Wardancer. Friends of yours are friends of ours. Uh, do you have any better idea than we do of what's going on?"

Yeah, I don't have enough blockers to stop all of those guys and pumping them with Sunhome Guildmage kills me no matter what. Good game. I see that for the last set to get two Event Decks, they went with "the good one" and "the bad one." On the upside, the rumors I heard about Rally and Rout...

UUD, Farseek grabbing Forest, done. Spidey: 10 Hand: 1 Library: 43 Battlefield: (T,U,U) Mt x3 (T,U,U,U) Plains x4 (U) Boros Guildgate (~ ETB tapped.; T: Add R or W to my mana pool) (U) Clifftop Retreat (~ ETB tapped unless I control a Mt or Plains.; T: Add R or W to my mana pool) (U)...

By the time you make it down the mountain to the temple, the dwarven army is setting up camp. Revaethan eyes the temple and the dwarves... "Well, we're here. Which should we do first? Check on the temple or find out what these dwarves are up to?"

I Call That a Bargain I'll wrap up this summary of Tendrils of Agony in Vintage with the latest major development for the card, and one that's especially meaningful for me personally. In August of 2017, Yawgmoth's Bargain was unrestricted. Earlier that same month, I'd started one of these...

It's a Paradox! Tendrils of Agony is one of those cards that's mediocre within a relatively limited environment, but keeps getting better the more cheap card-drawing and mana acceleration you throw at it. That's why it was nonexistent in competitive Standard and took a while to find a niche in...
