    Archenemy: Nicol Bolas (Oversoul) vs Gatewatch (Spidey, Melkor, rokapoke)

    I'll block the Pathmaker Initiate with my Horror token and the Thragtusk with my Beast token.

    Archenemy: Nicol Bolas (Oversoul) vs Gatewatch (Spidey, Melkor, rokapoke)

    Or wait, it occurs to me now that you could also mean to ask if I have responses before moving to the Declare Attackers step, rather than during the Declare Attackers step but before you've actually declared any attackers. I initially thought that you were saying you were already in Declare...

    Archenemy: Nicol Bolas (Oversoul) vs Gatewatch (Spidey, Melkor, rokapoke)

    Uh, I didn't think I even got priority at this point. :confused:

    Magic Memories: Yawgmoth's Bargain

    In terms of my "ABC's of combo" Yawgmoth's Bargain lends itself mostly toward Pattern B, but its effect of drawing lots of cards is so powerful that it has some crossover with Pattern A and Pattern C approaches. If that sentence sounds too much like me blathering in my own made up jargon, I'll...

    Archenemy: Nicol Bolas (Oversoul) vs Gatewatch (Spidey, Melkor, rokapoke)

    Ew. A land? I can't do anything about that! I guess my Strix can't block.

    Magic Memories: Yawgmoth's Bargain

    Owing to circumstances, my previous post is a bit of a rushed mess, but I'm not going to fix it, so there. Nothing to do with Bargain, but since I brought up the proportion thing, I should note that it's an often overlooked consideration in Commander. Your life total doubles from 20 to 40, but...

    Avacyn Restored Event Decks: Spidey (Humanity's Vengeance) vs Oversoul (Death's Encroach)

    Magic Memories: Yawgmoth's Bargain

    Notably, Yawgmoth's Bargain is banned in both the "official" list and the official Magic Online "1v1" list, but is not banned in the French Duel Commander rules and is only occasionally used in that format. But Duel Commander doesn't get the whopping 40 starting life used in traditional...

    Archenemy: Nicol Bolas (Oversoul) vs Gatewatch (Spidey, Melkor, rokapoke)

    Magic Memories: Yawgmoth's Bargain

    Yawgmoth's Bargain is banned in Commander. Because of the strange nature of the EDH ban list, I don't know exactly when or how this happened. Really, I could write an article about the oddity of the EDH ban list, but I'm not the best person for the task. And really, I'm surprised that I haven't...

    Magic Memories: Yawgmoth's Bargain

    Operating under the assumption that Yawgmoth's Bargain would be used in a ritual-based combo deck, what would it mean for Vintage? I do think that Bargain has a significant advantage over most other unrestricted options, such as Ad Nauseam and Griselbrand. In some circumstances it is weaker than...
