*The bluff is steep, but not very tall, and although you cannot see the figure in the shadows below well enough to tell for sure that it is standing on solid ground, there is also no indication that it is floating or anything like that. The whole party could walk down the bluff easily enough and...

I did receive confirmation that I have priority access. Also, while I haven't played a demo of the game or anything quite so cool as that, I might have some minor points of interest to talk about once the game is actually out and an NDA stops applying. ;)

For some reason, most of the cards that really seem to combo directly with Wheel of Fortune are black. Underworld Dreams is the first and one of the most potent. Others include Megrim, Phyrexian Tyranny, Chains of Mephistopheles, Kederekt Parasite, Spiteful Visions, Waste Not, Liliana's Caress...

The path forward leads to a steep, ominous bluff. Jekaena: "What? This isn't right. I mean, it was right before. Where the snotlings attacked us just a moment ago. I mean, I recognized it. But I don't now. I mean, it's different..." A mysterious figure in the darkness ahead gestures...

Boo.

Bump to remind me we are done here. Kept thinking I was still waiting on Rokapoke. Putting Tomas on autopilot for the time being. He shall return to normal whenever Rokapoke shirks his real-life responsibilities.

No one else has chimed in on it, but a while back I started a thread in "Classic Questions" about "top five memorable cards." I'd seen the question come up elsewhere and thought it was interesting because narrowing it down to five cards is tricky. For myself, I settled on Dark Ritual (already...

UUD, Plains, Thragtusk, done. Spidey: 20 Hand: 3 Library: 43 Battlefield: (T,T) Mt x2 (T,U) Island x2 (U) Swamp Burning Vengeance (Whenever I cast a spell from my graveyard, ~ deals 2 dmg to target creature or player) (T) Armored Skaab (1/4; When ~ ETB, put the top four cards of my...

My most prolific use for Wheel of Fortune would easily be in red Burn decks, which is a little odd to consider because, before I built "Wheel in Flames" I had not used Wheel of Fortune in a Burn deck in years. I first used Wheel in a Burn deck in either 1998 or 1999, kept it up through about...

I've got nothing.

UUD, Forest, Elvish Visionary, Llanowar Elves, done. Spidey: 20 Hand: 4 Library: 44 Battlefield: (T,T) Mt x2 (T,U) Island x2 Burning Vengeance (Whenever I cast a spell from my graveyard, ~ deals 2 dmg to target creature or player) (U) Armored Skaab (1/4; When ~ ETB, put the top four...

I don't know whether that video will turn out to be the best presentation of what's wrong with that announcement, but it's to-the-point and he's one of the most popular Magic video people. Personally, I haven't really delved into this issue because I have, apparently, been one of the lucky...

I'll get back to our regularly scheduled programming in a bit here, but here's a brief aside... My previous post linked to my "Wheel in Flames" article from January of 2015. In that article, I noted that the reliance on Wheel of Fortune prevented my deck from being a budget list, as the card...

Psarketos beat me to the punch. This aspect is huge. One meme I've noticed is for players to sarcastically state, "Symmetrical effects are always fair." Wheel of Fortune can't be broken: everyone gets to draw cards! A sentiment that rings hollow when you see me cast all of the spells in my hand...

Anyone can eat waybread. I think most of the party is already carrying some, which was purchased at an encampment on the journey to Loren. Waybread functions like normal rations except it doesn't spoil quite as easily.

For a few years now, I've had my very own copy of Timetwister, a card that has a special place in my heart, despite being generally regarded as the worst out of the "Power 9" and not really in the same league as the other eight. I didn't make one of these threads for Timetwister and I probably...

"No, but judging from the contents, I'd guess that it was packed in a hurry when someone was fleeing from the goblin invaders. I doubt that the original owner is still alive."

UUD, Forest, Borderland Ranger revealing Forest, done. Spidey: 20 Hand: 5 Library: 45 Battlefield: (T,T) Mt x2 (T) Island (S) Armored Skaab (1/4; When ~ ETB, put the top four cards of my library into my graveyard) Graveyard: Evolving Wilds, Evolving Wilds, Island, Fettergeist, Think...

In one universe, Ty opens the backpack and the booby trap inside triggers an explosion, killing everyone in the party except Throg. In another, Ty raises the flap on the backpack to reveal a bizarre magic lock with a large slot in the shape of an axe-head; the party looks at the lock, looks at...

Ah, but I built that deck when I was in high school, which was before the Legacy format existed. :p Well, in the first place, I hinted at this before but don't think I spelled it out: I suspect that a clean "theory of everything" in Magic does not exist and isn't possible. I mean, in...
