Speaking of red one-drops, another great one is Goblin Guide. I've used it in Burn decks with no other creatures whatsoever, as it tends to do its fair share of damage before opponents can get the blockers to prevent that. If it hits an opponent twice, it'll have done more damage than a...

Article submitted just now. Hopefully the tags work. If not, hopefully Spiderman can fix them. It's kind of long, so I feel a bit guilty about that. I think it's way longer than anything the front page has had in a long time. I'm probably going to start writing articles more regularly, but they...

So we are treading in unknown territory now. It is a mystery. We are getting empirical about this, Spiderman. We are doing science.

Alright, that's simple enough that even I can probably get it right. Let's see. This is a block quote. Even though I don't really have to, I'm putting enough text in here that this would stylistically be a block quote, as I am neurotic. It's pretty silly. I mean, this isn't even a quote. I'm not...

I'm putting the finishing touches on a new article, so the CPA can avoid having gone another full year without another frontpage update (but seriously, I may or may not do a series unrelated to this that would mean a lot more content). Anyway, because I am inept, I find the old-fashioned...

I Want to Break Free - Queen (1984).

It's always been a bit of a muddled issue for casual play. When I was younger and found myself in 10-person multiplayer games, someone would play Tsunami or whatever, and of course it would completely alter the field. Maybe not the most directly effective strategy, but it did help make those...

Another One Bites the Dust - Queen (1980).

I don't currently have any physical decks. I do have some shells for decks set aside somewhere, but all my deckbuilding projects have been on a sort of extended hiatus since I went back to school in 2011. I've never used Greater Gargadon, Delver of Secrets, Grim Lavamancer, Vault Skirge, or...

That reminds me. Spore Frog is another good green one-drop creature. Opponents have to either waste a removal spell on a one-drop or let you have a Fog-effect at any time. And with any sort of reusable recursion, he can hold off attacks indefinitely. Genesis is probably the easiest method for...

That comment was about the Middle East, not South America. Turgy pointed out that Peter, officially the first pope, was from the Middle East. Catholicism is a lot more prominent in South America than in the Middle East.

Hurts So Good - John Cougar (1982).

Not a lot of dioceses there to recruit from, though.

Yes.

Man Is the Baby - Antony and the Johnsons (2005).

Did you consider Multani? A bit expensive, but great for multiplayer.

Love the combo. Almost your whole deck is creature removal and sources of potential triggers for the enchantments, which makes me suspect that the environment for these games is very creature-heavy. Setup would take long enough that anyone with real disruption would be able to stop you, which is...

I think I heard he was the first one from South America, which would make sense. It's not like they had a bunch of German/Polish/Italians before. The guy before him was German and the guy before that was Polish, most of the rest were Italian, with other nationalities coming up occasionally...

Yeah, I concur with the support card thing. It's a very strong support card. One unfortunate limitation is that it can only hit instants, sorceries, creatures, and lands. That still lets exile most of the cards you'd be worried about opponents recurring with graveyard-based decks and it's most...
