Also... -The Power Phase is 1 for this turn. An Unexpected Event occurs. -It's hobgoblins, of course. They ambush you.

The path forks here, and both forks look like dark, narrow trails along the forest floor. Jekaena hesitates, but declares that she thinks that when she passed this way before, it was along the path to your right. Probably.

UUD... Ugh. Guess I'd better. I cast Despise again...

The Thragtusk. Such a noble beast. It would be a shame for it to languish forever in the darkness of Melkor's graveyard. So I shall extract it from that darkness. And with that, I'm done. Nicol Bolas, God Emperor of Dune: 45 Hand: 5 Library: 44 Battlefield: (T) Swamp (T) Dragonskull Summit...

I should note that while I find this speculation interesting and don't personally come down hard on either side, the point is moot. WotC have no interest in unbanning or unrestricting Yawgmoth's Bargain, as their current stance is hostile toward combo decks and they can't even be bothered to...

Like everyone else on the planet, I think that decks focused on creature types are a fun and cool part of the game. Personally, I'm not so interested in the fusion of Commander and tribal synergies. I like both separately, but don't see much appeal in combining them. However, I'm in the minority...

My previous post talked about some of the cards that, in tournament play, occupy some of the same space as an unrestricted Yawgmoth's Bargain hypothetically would, and how those cards might be similar or, in some ways, even better. What those comparisons didn't convey is just how good Bargain...

When it comes to Bargain as a possible unban/unrestriction, the closest point of comparison is probably not Necropotence, but Griselbrand... That's quite the mana cost, but in a black-heavy deck that is using some form of mana ramp, it's two mana more than Bargain. While that is a...

Dorgath's further searching turns up nothing useful. As usual, the goblin bosses are carrying cursed weapons that the party cannot take advantage of.

Well, I think my options are limited here. I pick Nephalia Smuggler. Spiderman: 20 Hand: 5 Library: 53 Battlefield: (T) Plains (S) Gideon's Lawkeeper (1/1; W, T: Tap target creature) Graveyard: Nephalia Smuggler Exile...

"I can't argue with your logic, Ty. But I'm not used to this sort of thing. I survived my previous violent encounters by going into some kind of fugue state, which seemed to be effective but is probably not ideal. I think for now I'm just going to need reminded if I'm supposed to do something...

Draw, Swamp, cast Despise...

-Ty's Pit Training kicks in and he lashes out with his Fist Spike before the goblins can swing their weapons. -Ty slices at a goblin boss that is brandishing a wicked blade at Tomas (2 damage). -Ty cuts the goblin boss again (3 damage). -Ty stabs the goblin boss (2 damage). -Ty misses a knee...

Heads it is. No mulligan here.

Playing it cool like he totally hasn't been hiding from us all year.

I do still have the one that I used (but I have some vague recollection of not wanting to post it on the boards because of spammers). I'm actually (slowly) working on an article, but was planning to post it to the forums instead of emailing it, to see which would be better. Were I not so lazy...

First, I want to get one thing out of the way, and it's a big thing: Necropotence. When either of these cards come up in any context outside of the use of Necropotence in the mid-90's before Bargain existed, the comparison between the cards almost inevitably follows. And before today, I had this...

Yeah, even for casual decks in a more laid-back environment, four mana is asking a lot for a 1/1 creature. I do think that the card had potential (it would probably have made more of a splash if it had been printed in Ice Age instead of Mirage). And Stun Sniper, which is in an awkward color...

Welcome back. I enjoyed your old writing that had been posted here and was a bit sad to see it go, although I could understand why you wanted it that way. Well, you'd have to meet our very high editorial standards. In my hazy recollection, the two favorite topics for writing here at the CPA...

As you continue moving along the path, a cacophony of movement fills the brush surrounding you. Goblins pour forth, shuffling through the brush to attack. There are 12 goblins and 4 goblin bosses. -The Power Phase is 4.
