Ad Nauseam Tendrils I once wrote an entire article dedicated to Ad Nauseam. The card has had some impressive applications, all of them in combo decks, and has been especially potent in Legacy, largely thanks to Lion's Eye Diamond and its synergy with Infernal Tutor. Early ANT decks focused on...

That part I bolded was kind of my point. The really big incidents get a lot of news coverage and are sad and all, but if the discussion is gun usage in general or even unjustified, fatal shootings in general, those really big ones are dwarfed by the much more numerous smaller ones, wherever you...

Well, it looks like Bargain did make an appearance in Week 2, albeit a lackluster one. https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/magic-online/vintage-super-league-season-7-decklists#Randy%20BuehlerW2 I didn't watch the matches, but the list looks pretty good. I'll be testing something...

From Forbidden Alchemy I'll put Island, Island, Mountain into my graveyard. Then I'll cast Desperate Ravings, randomly discarding Think Twice. UUD, Mountain, attack with Fettergeist, Responses?

I'll preface this with some stuff because I don't think I qualify as a gun enthusiast, but I am technically a gun owner. I own a single shotgun, which I've actually bothered to take out and fire on a total of two occasions, and so far only with target loads. So my credentials as a gun enthusiast...

EOT Forbidden Alchemy. I'll have to wait until I get back to my desk at home to see which cards get revealed...

The Epic Storm At first, blue/black decks along the lines of IGGy Pop were the default home for Tendrils of Agony in Legacy. Another early Legacy Storm deck, which has been evolving ever since, was "The Epic Storm." A key distinction was that in 2006, three new red cards were released that...

Done. Spiderman: 14 Hand: 5 Library: 50 Battlefield: (U) Plains (U,U) Forest x2 (U) Razorverge Thicket (~ ETB tapped unless I control two or fewer other lands.; T: Add W or G to my mana pool) Graveyard: Attended Knight Exile...

UUD, Island, attack with Fettergeist, blocks/responses?

I hadn't seen that. I like how the person asked why the nagas were on Amonkhet and instead of answering that question, he answered the different question of why there are elves on Kaladesh. I'd ask why there are rakshasas on Tarkir, but I suppose all we'd learn is why they put the aetherborn...

Attack with the Geist, done. Spiderman: 20 17? Hand: 5 Library: 51 Battlefield: (T) Plains (T) Forest (T) Razorverge Thicket (~ ETB tapped unless I control two or fewer other lands.; T: Add W or G to my mana pool) Graveyard: Attended Knight Exile...

UUD, Desolate Lighthouse, Rolling Temblor in attempt to blow up your guys, responses? Spiderman: 20 Hand: 5 Library: 51 Battlefield: (T) Plains (T) Forest (T) Razorverge Thicket (~ ETB tapped unless I control two or fewer other lands.; T: Add W or G to my mana pool) (S) Attended Knight...

Yeah, I don't know why I didn't settle on that in the first place. I suppose so. They definitely focused heavily on the magic/technology fusion concept and I'm a little unclear as to how steeped in Indian lore it actually is, both because I'm not as familiar with Indian lore and because some...

Doomsday With three cards banned from the top combo deck in Vintage, other fast decks rushed in to fill its place. A blue-heavy, disruptive storm deck that was fast enough but also slightly more resilient in the face of the format's devastating Workshop decks became the most successful of the...

Yeah, this one ended up running even longer than I thought it would, so I think you're right. One thing that's been bugging me is that I have been veering a bit toward more longform stuff in forum posts and I don't know where the cutoff should be for whether some thing is an article or whether...

The ground here is covered in tall grass. It is impossible to see the forest floor. -The Power Phase is 3 for this turn. -12 Snotlings ambush the party.

I find it hilarious that after over a year of frontpage inactivity, I go and officially announce my intention to use the forums as a better space for articles (for now anyway), and then it turns out that someone had beaten me to article publication by a matter of hours and I hadn't yet noticed...

Ichorid Dredge, Dredge, Dredge, Dredge, wonderful Dredge. The name "Dredge" these days is synonymous with highly specialized decks that rely on explosive graveyard interactions, but at first, it was just the mechanic associated with the Golgari in Ravnica. As I mentioned in that "Storm Count"...
