Combat damage. You take 3, Shred-Freak dies, and Zombie token dies?

While I can continue to plead ignorance on the subject of unrestricted Necropotence in the format Vintage has become (and I think most people should, too), I can at least see a clear case for why it might be over the top. In a format where Necropotence might just randomly find Time Walk and gain...

Ah, thanks Spidey. Good to know. Anyway, no changes.

Attack with all three creatures. Frontline Medic makes them indestructible, Ordeal of Heliod puts another +1/+1 counter on Hoplite, then I sac Ordeal of Heliod and gain 10 life. Blocks?

Scry moving the top card of my library to the bottom, move to declare attackers. Responses?

Perhaps I am wrong about triopolies. Perhaps, more generally, I am wrong about "oligopolies" in Magic. When I think of specific examples, and especially in cases where action was taken, the problem seems to have been, or seems to have been perceived to have been, either a monopoly or duopoly...

This mention of oligopolies and the implied triopoly of "Necro decks, anti-Necro decks, and decks that beat the anti-Necro decks" is interesting... My first notion is that this implied triopoly concept rings true. Historically, during the reign of Necro control decks, there was usually an...

Yes, that's what I thought. I forget the exact part of the rules, but I was pretty sure it worked that way.

As Rokapoke is still absent, I'll agree on his behalf. Tomas learns a new spell... You pass through an open, airy section of the canopy. As you enter denser foliage, the woods suddenly become silent, then an eerie, chilling breeze whistles around you. Revaethan shouts, "Branchwraiths! Look...

So if you like infinite Regrowth loops as much as I do, Bonus Round sure can help generate them. It'd take quite a bit of mana to get going, though, and I'm not convinced it's even a particularly strong use for the new card. We'll have to wait and see. But it was something I thought of early on...

I should note that unrestricted Necropotence has been played in the relatively obscure "Old School '95" format. While the '94 variant seems to be by far the most prominent of the "Old School" throwbacks, there is some interest in brewing decks with cards going up to Ice Age. As this is not an...

Dorgath and Ty manage to pull Jekaena free from the webbing. In the process of pulling on spider webs, they find an old item tangled in the fibers... Amulet of Fury (Glory!): Allows the wearer to attempt to cast the "Glory!" spell. When making the attempt roll a D6 and add the warrior's...

UUD, Ordeal of Heliod on Battlewise Hoplite. Responses?

Submerged Boneyard, attack Gideon with everything because I have to...

Ha, and then after I post that they go and spoil some new cards that have a lot of potential. I regret nothing!

Frontline Medic, done. Spidey: 9 Hand: 1 Library: 48 Battlefield: (T,T,U,U,U) Swamp x5 (U) Rakdos Shred-Freak (Human Berserker; 2/1; Haste) (U) Xathrid Necromancer (Human Wizard; 2/2; Whenever ~ or another Human creature I control dies, put a 2/2 black Zombie creature token onto the...
