    Commander Rules Committee declares silver-bordered cards temporarily legal for Commander games

    Here's the announcement: http://mtgcommander.net/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=18749&sid=045ba5500479905a9ce3f66985892339 Others will have their own reactions (or just disinterest) on this one, but here's mine... Firstly, I love silver-bordered cards. I own a complete set of Unglued. I was a bit...

    Magic Memories: Masticore

    I guess I should do one of these threads for Tendrils of Agony, huh? I should note that I do like the card (and will eventually make a Memories thread about it, I'm sure), but using it in my forum avatar and signature was the product of a bit of deliberation. Some pro wrestling fans, usually...

    Magic Memories: Masticore

    I've always had a soft spot for Urza's Destiny. The set did some really cool things and had a lot of very good cards, but the association with the most broken cards in Urza's Saga and Urza's Legacy taints the set as a product of a "broken" era. I think that history has largely vindicated the set...

    [Grixis Commander] Combo-animator

    As much as I like Jet Medallion and Dark Ritual, they don't pack quite as much of a punch in a three-color deck, and you can't very well build a mana curve into your deck to account for them when it's a 99-card highlander deck and you could easily just never draw them at all. So yeah, LDV and...

    Return to Ravnica Event Decks: Spidey (Wrack and Rage) vs Oversoul (Creep and Conquer)

    Well, I think that kills me no matter what (on your next turn, at least). But let's play it out anyway. I'll block a Guildmage with my Guildmage.

    Magic Memories: Masticore

    By the time I was playing Magic against my fellow students in high school at lunch and in an after-school game club, I'd been at it for some years and, by focusing my meager funds on certain deck that I really wanted to build (Slivers, Necro, Academy, Forbidian, Jar) I reached a point where I...

    Feedback Thread: Innovate Your Casual Holiday Magic

    Some day Psarketos will run out of ways to use Worldfire! But today is not that day.

    Idea for Consideration: Front Page Invitation for Content?

    I should note that the header for the message boards themselves reads "CPA Message Boards" and the front page link to the message boards reads "Community Forums." Those are synonyms and most native English-speakers would figure it out, but for optimum clarity, they really should be called the...

    Magic Memories: Lim-Dûl's Vault

    It may not be a tournament staple, but Lim-Dûl's Vault does have its uses in Legacy. I've even seen Vintage lists using it, although I'm at a loss to understand how it would pull its weight in that environment. Its biggest home these days is probably Commander, which is a quirk of the current...

    Magic Memories: Lim-Dûl's Vault

    I've been describing Necro-Donate with Lim-Dûl's Vault as "control-combo." That's because the faster "Trix" version was mostly acceleration and support with only modest protection. Notably, the faster version had far more tournament success. But the slower version wasn't really built for long...

    Anyone up for Explorers of Ixalan?

    That would be cool, but it'd have to be something that a bumpkin like myself could use. I'll see if I can find anything...

    Anyone up for Explorers of Ixalan?

    Rokapoke continues to shamefully stall my inevitable triumph in Archenemy, but now there's a new product out that I was wondering if anyone wanted to try. It looks like Explorers is able to work with 2 to 4 players. Basically, there are four precons, one for each of the factions in Ixalan...
