  1. Oversoul

    April 24, 2017 Banned/Restricted Announcement

    I maintain that in formats like Legacy and Vintage (and even Modern), it is almost never warranted to ban or restrict more than one card at a time. So I think the decision to restrict two cards was a mistake. But I'm puzzled as to how blue-based decks are supposed to be the bigger problem than...
  2. Oversoul

    April 24, 2017 Banned/Restricted Announcement

    OK, so now that I've had some time to mull this stuff over, some thoughts. But to start with, I'll focus on the stuff that isn't specifically about Miracles... The Standard environment is still very controversial and it seems all too likely that WotC still doesn't know what to do about it. In...
  3. Oversoul

    Looking to build new Commander decks...

    Well, I still hadn't quite finished my Leovold deck, and now I guess I'm scrapping it. Leovold was banned by the "official" Commander Rules Committee. I for one, find this unfortunate. Part of what has been built into Commander that makes it unusual as a format is the whole "color identity"...

    Magic 2012 Event Decks: Spidey (Illusionary Might) vs Oversoul (Vampire Onslaught)

    Viscera Seer, done. Spiderman: 8 Hand: 2 Library: 45 Battlefield: (T,T,T,T,T) Island x5 (U) Glimmerpost (When ~ ETB, I gain 1 life for each Locus on the battlefield.; T: Add C to my mana pool) Graveyard: Aether Adept, Aether Adept, Preordain, Aether Adept, Mind Control, Lord of the Unreal...

    Sensei's Divining Top is banned in Legacy

    I assume that by "their management" you are talking about WotC. But if you were talking about Kool & The Gang, that would be much funnier.

    Eternal Masters Pack Wars: Spiderman vs. Melkor vs. Mooseman

    Might be that I need to send draw(s)? I forget. I can do so once I'm at home this evening...
  7. Oversoul

    Magic 2012 Event Decks: Spidey (Illusionary Might) vs Oversoul (Vampire Onslaught)

    All four creatures in combat die, I get four more Eldrazi Spawn, and you take 2?
  8. Oversoul

    Magic 2012 Event Decks: Spidey (Illusionary Might) vs Oversoul (Vampire Onslaught)

    UUD, Pawn of Ulamog (yes, the third one this game), attack with Gatekeeper, Bloodghast, and the not-summoning-sick Pawn of Ulamog. Blocks/responses?
  9. Oversoul

    Magic 2012 Event Decks: Spidey (Illusionary Might) vs Oversoul (Vampire Onslaught)

    Sac the Seer to itself, generating another Spawn from Pawn and moving the top card of my library to the bottom.
  10. Oversoul

    Magic 2012 Event Decks: Spidey (Illusionary Might) vs Oversoul (Vampire Onslaught)

    OK, sac Bloodghast to Viscera Seer, create an Eldrazi Spawn of Pawn, move the top card of my library to the bottom, Swamp, Bloodghast comes back, done. Spiderman: 10 Hand: 2 Library: 46 Battlefield: (T,T,T,T,T) Island x5 (U) Glimmerpost (When ~ ETB, I gain 1 life for each Locus on the...

    April 24, 2017 Banned/Restricted Announcement

    I deliberately did that because I wasn't sure how many silly videos or images along the lines of "ding dong, the witch is dead" I might post, and I wanted to keep your thread reserved for serious discussion, as this is a very serious place.

    Teaching decks

    Well, this gives me a lot to think about. I was, at least in part, basing my notions on the approaches that WotC have taken themselves with this stuff in various attempts (Duels computer games, sample decks, starter products, etc.) and it's possible that it's conventional wisdom that doesn't...

    Sensei's Divining Top is banned in Legacy

    But really, I live 25 minutes away from that building. And I'm sure I can acquire an orange sign. So if that's what it takes, I can employ this method.

    Magic 2012 Event Decks: Spidey (Illusionary Might) vs Oversoul (Vampire Onslaught)

    You go to 10. Second main phase I'll sac Bloodghast to Viscera Seer, and then because I wasn't on the ball, I have to wait until I get home to see the top card of my library again...

    Teaching decks

    I've been thinking that it might be a good idea to put some decks together for introducing people to Magic... If you haven't already seen them, every year WotC produces decks called variously "welcome decks," "sample decks," "demo packs," and probably some other things. These are simple...
