Reminder post for me to update this already...

http://mtgen.net/ Thought this might be of interest to some of us.

I don't really know how to judge that, as I've seen others try it with every set.

Pandemonium came out in the block before Replenish, which itself came out in the block before Saproling Burst. Although all three are good cards, using them together in the same deck is just about the most powerful thing that one can do with any of them. So once PandeBurst was a known entity...

I've always been fond of this card, but at some point, I traded my only copies away for something I really wanted, and I didn't acquire more until many, many years later and by then, I was no longer actively building casual decks. Seriously, this was 17 or 18 years ago. And I just can't remember...

There's a lot more to say about this wonderful card, but before I completely move on from Survival Elves, I should note that it was one of many Survival decks to have the potential for a big combo finish. After all, SotF is a reusable tutor, and the ability to find a particular configuration of...

Whole set is up now. And yeah, it's really good.

Before there was Cabal Coffers, there was Lake of the Dead. I don't think that I've personally used the card in many, many years, but it was once a prize of my collection. I've already sung the praises of Dark Ritual, so it probably isn't too hard to figure out how I used Lake of the Dead: pure...

While I'm still talking about Legacy decks, another archetype to employ Survival of the Fittest was Madness. It came onto the scene a little later than ATS, Welder Survival, RGSA, and Full English Breakfast. Madness-based decks were probably tried from the beginning of the format, with attempted...

If you realized that it was wrong and wanted to do it anyway, then why did you ask me what I meant and then repeat it the same way? :confused: And yes, I can understand what is meant, just like I can understand it when you cut the vowels out of your words. So do it that way if you want, I...

And now the Ravnica Signets have been spoiled, which isn't of particular interest, but they're OK. I said it before, but this set is bonkers. Last year, we got Eternal Masters and now there's this. I know the packs are stupidly expensive, but there's something to be said for just having such a...

And now there's Serum Visions. I have some misgivings about that card. I think it's propped up by the silly bans on Ponder and Preordain in Modern. But it's certainly not a bad card.

I suspect that you do know this and have just been used to saying it the old way (the old new way?), but to be clear, it used to be the case that during combat, damage from attackers and blockers would go on the stack, during which time it would be possible to respond to it with instants and...

And some more cards... Terminus: Hell yes. Lingering Souls: Good. Gifts Ungiven: Wow. This set is amazing. Scavenging Ooze: Good. Blood Moon: Well, I know it's been reprinted a lot already, but there just seems to be a lot of demand for it. Voice of Resurgence: Another excellent card. Fiery...

What I mean is that combat damage cannot "resolve" because it no longer goes on the stack. That was Sixth Edition rules.

Stoneforge Mystic, search Skinwing, play Skinwing, done. Spiderman: 18 Poison: 0 Hand: 4 Library: 48 Battlefield: (U,U,U,U) Forest x4 (U) Viridian Corrupter (2/2; Infect; When ~ ETB, destroy target artifact) (U) Insect creature token (1/1; Infect.) (U) Insect creature token (1/1; Infect.)...

Look, I miss damage on the stack too, but you've got to let it go already.

I mean, it should tank. Not that I'm some big finance person. But just in comparison to prices on other cards, the only reason it's gone up as high as it has is that Planar Chaos had a low print run by today's standards. Generally, while there are cases where it being black makes it more...

Anything else? Or moving to combat damage?

One of my favorite SotF decks was a Legacy deck called Survival Elves. Here's a list: 4x Survival of the Fittest 1x Caller of the Claw 1x Spore Frog 1x Genesis 1x Wellwisher 1x Viridian Zealot 3x Llanowar Elves 3x Elvish Champion 3x Wren's Run Vanquisher 3x Quirion Ranger 4x Priest of Titania...
