One more podcast link, this one regarding Vintage: http://mtgcast.com/mtgcast-podcast-shows/active-podcast-shows/so-many-insane-plays/so-many-insane-plays-podcast-episode-65-banned-restricted-list-updates-mana-drain-open-results-and-amonkhet-review Stephen Menendian has been the biggest fan of...

UUD, Plains, Doomed Traveler, Elite Vanguard, attack with Champion, done (if you have a response, I obviously can't stop it). Spiderman: 20 17? Hand: 7 Library: 52 Battlefield: (U) Swamp Graveyard: Exile...

Me too! But yeah, I've just had other stuff occupying the time that I'd ordinarily have used to update this. Soon, though.

Draw, Plains, Champion of the Parish, done. Spiderman: 20 Hand: 6 Library: 53 Battlefield: Graveyard: Exile: ==================================================================================================== Oversoul: 20 Hand: 6 Library: 52 Battlefield: (T) Plains (S) Champion of...

I'm glad you're not the Alaskan subspecies, because I think Spidey has a helicopter and a high-caliber rifle.

This weekend Cedric Phillips and Patrick Sullivan were on a Star City Games Podcast going into more detail with speculation along the sames lines as what I said about the "emergency ban." https://soundcloud.com/cedtalks/cedtalks-42717-what-the-hell-mtg Not that this proves I'm right or even...

Actually, if you look on page 3 (post #59), Melkor picked his cards after you picked yours, and then you had to revise your picks because you picked a card that wasn't in the draft anymore. This was totally either your fault or Mooseman's fault, but definitely not mine. Not mine at all. Turgy...

I heard they're planning to go exclusively with ChannelFireball for Grand Prix next year.

I'm still kinda bummed out about this. I hadn't gotten very far into building my Leovold deck, but it was going to be so awesome. Opponents were going to assume that I was going for some sort of lockdown with Teferi's Puzzle Box or whatever, but instead I had this blazingly fast Aluren package...

It's still far too early to tell, but from MTGO, which might move faster than real tournament data and inform the metagame shift, it's already looking like a lot of combo vs. aggro-control in Legacy. Since Miracles was dominant for so long (discounting that it took a back seat to OmniTell decks...

Heads it is. No mulligan.

This one goes out to all the Miracles players...

Good game. I think these two are probably about even against each other, but in our games, you were more manadrowned than I was the first time, and then in the second game I was able to force a series of combat trades that were more favorable for me, and once I had you lower in life, I was able...

Maybe. To be clear, I completely buy that the MTGO data is there. But here's the thing. They didn't go into this blind. They've been considering the problem for a while, and the possibility that Amonkhet would have made the Standard environment even worse isn't some obscure trivium that could...

Well, here we go... Kalastria Highborn, attack with Pawn and Bloodghast. Unless you're holding something that changes things, that should be lethal no matter how you block. Nighthawk can block one and take you up to 4, and Legionnaire can block one, but if either vampire is blocked, it will...

Mind Control resolves. You get the Nighthawk. Are you at 2 or are you at 4? I had you at 2, and somehow it says 4. If it's 2, then I think I can kill you. If it's 4, perhaps Mind Control can save you... Edit: I realize I might be asking the wrong person, since it's my post that says 4 and...

Pawn makes another Spawn, Vampire Nighthawk, done. Spiderman: 4 Hand: 1 Library: 44 Battlefield: (T,T,T,T,T) Island x5 (T) Glimmerpost (When ~ ETB, I gain 1 life for each Locus on the battlefield.; T: Add C to my mana pool) (S) Porcelain Legionaire (3/1; First Strike) Graveyard: Aether...

EOT sac a Spawn to Seer, move card to the bottom, sac a Spawn to Seer, move card to the bottom, sac a Spawn to the Seer, leave the card on top, sac a Spawn for C, pay 4 life and the mana from the Spawn to Dismember Phantasmal Dragon (totally killing it twice, which I apparently found to be...

ZOMG QUADRUPLE POST OVERSOUL STOP... No, wait! This is different. I have some BREAKING NEWS!!! The mothership issued an addendum, and now Felidar Guardian is to be banned in Standard...

I probably missed something in there, as there is just so much to unpack with the effects of this announcement, but for now, I'll move on to Miracles, the deck that got Top banned in Legacy... Legacy has a lot of older, more experienced players. I think part of the popularity of Miracles came...
