UUD, well, that's it. No matter what I use Oblivion Ring on, if you alpha strike me, I'm taking at least 10 damage. :( Well done. I already knew that I was in trouble, but once I saw the Altar's Reap in response to Divine Deflection, I figured it wouldn't be long.

The path between the trees tapers into a narrow tunnel. All is quiet so far, but small monsters could potentially move through the undergrowth and attack. T: Throg R: Revaethan D: Dorgath K: Kelgar O: Tomas J: Jekaena Y: Ty C: Carrow

This is a card that I haven't really used in a long time. I wonder how it would do these days. I mean, it's no tournament card, but just as a scrubby casual utility creature. Four mana is a bit much, but it could still work. These days, they would either make the creature bigger or provide the...

Among casual players in my area, Royal Assassin was all the rage. Alas, I didn't own Royal Assassin, but I did own Abyssal Hunter. Now, one might think that those two creatures are dissimilar: Royal Assassin kills creatures if they are tapped and Abyssal Hunter taps creatures and damages them...

I thought that I was probably going for an obscure card when I started a thread about Pursuit of Knowledge, but apparently Melkor used it. So now I'm dipping deeper into the well of obscurity! Kind of. I mean, that's not really what this is about... I noticed that I tend to focus on...

You wind through more stands of trees, eventually crossing a long bridge over a deep chasm, where it looks like you can see orcs and goblins moving around. You pass over them and continue through the canopy. "We're getting close now. Hopefully we get through the Pine Crags soon and we can get...

Alright then. Submerged Boneyard, then I'll cast Extract from Darkness. I put Lightning Bolt and Cinder Barrens into my graveyard. Show me even more stuff!

So I don't draw a card off it and it's a creature that you'll just recur later with an ability? How rude! Well, what do your friends discard?

"She's dead? Well, that's a relief. I wonder if Coril knows. He was under her thrall, so he'd either be crushed or completely enraged, but I don't know which. There are bound to be other dark elves involved, though. So we should still be careful." You proceed further through the canopy...

Bump. Show me dem dreams!

On the one hand, it would be overly pessimistic to assume that it's not worth it to leave them feedback when multiple people in R&D have emphasized that they do pay attention to player feedback. On the other hand, if I'm honest, which I feel like I have to be, it's a weird position to be coming...

Adjusted my life to account for Highborn Ghoul damage (Divine Deflection lost its target and fizzled). UUD, Porcelain Legionnaire, done. Spiderman: 20 Hand: 3 Library: 41 Battlefield: (T,T,T,T,T,T,U) Swamp x7 (U) Skinrender Creature-Zombie (3/3; When ~ ETB, put three -1/-1 ctrs on...

Nope. Huh, I don't think I can win at this point, but I forget what else I might topdeck so I guess we'll see...

Uh huh. We're not talking about the reign of Tolarian Academy decks in 1998 or the Memory Jar fiasco the following year. Those Aetherworks Marvel decks are/were hot trash and maybe someday, if they can be bothered to rub a few neurons together, WotC will notice that when a slow, clunky...

You know what? Fine. Take Storm. Go ahead, just take it back. Take it out of the game if you hate it so damn much. It's my favorite mechanic ever, but if it'll permanently stick a cork in the mouth of every bloviating WotC employee who wants to use the existence of Storm as a sounding board to...

Well, here we go. From the top... I didn't initially think I'd have anything to say about the first paragraph, but since I'll be nitpicking everything, I want to note that while this doesn't sound like a false or wrong statement, it is actually pretty weird. "We don't have hard and fast rules...

I appreciate Turgy's flip remarks, as I think dry wit is probably the appropriate response to this sort of thing. WotC are going to do what they will, and things will probably work out, as they have so far. So even if we think they're wrong, it's best to just have a little fun with it. Of...

Yikes. Well, it's probably obvious that I've got a lot to say about this, and that I don't agree with it. Part of the thesis of my Comboist Manifesto articles was that there's been too much derision and misunderstanding of combo decks and their role in a healthy game. I've seen a lot of...

You part ways with the wood elf escorts, leaving your mounts in their care. The horses accept this calmly enough, but Onola is an ass about it. You disappear into a thick forest, with Throg and Revaethan taking point, followed by Dorgath and Kelgar, then Tomas and Jekaena, with Ty and Carrow...

Divine Deflection at X=2, targeting Gloom Surgeon.
