"You must enter a Query and the Special Code." Huh?

Blast from the past! How has it worked out for you? It seems to light on removal to really fall into the aggro-control "Counter-Sliver" archetype. But maybe the idea is more to go straight beatdown with a few removal spells to keep the opponent from stopping you. It seems like you might not get...

Block both. My wurms die. Pattern of Rebirth brings out Symbiotic Wurm.

How is Snake Basket bad? I've been killed by it a couple of times.

I already addressed this, but I'll try one more time. If Malignant Growth had a non-cumulative upkeep cost of 1, you could still let it go at any time. I don't consider being able opt out on an awful card that's helping my opponent to be advantage that significantly improves the card. It's still...

Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking about that. You don't need to worry about your own artifacts at all. But it's still really substandard artifact removal because it would take too long to get the job done. For example, if you needed to destroy a Juggernaut, you'd be beaten to death before...

I don't get it. Counting doesn't happen every upkeep. It's only your upkeep. You only choose one opponent, and the numbers are generally going to be pretty low. "Let's see, I control one artifact and you control three. I'll have this thing and that thing phase out. I have four creatures and you...

Harvest Wurm, returning the Forest in my graveyard to my hand. Although I don't particularly want to see the Mauler get bigger, I'm going to just save BB the effort and put a counter on it because it's not like he'd forget to... Done. Oversoul: 19 Hand: 5 Library: 49 In Play: -(U) Overgrown...

Oh, I see. Yeah, I think all of the successful decks Time Vault's been making appearances in have been Tezzeret decks.

Why would they make that card? Wasn't Forgotten Ancient good enough? At least they didn't make it blue... Untap, upkeep, draw, Forest, attack Mooseman with Fallow Wurm. Responses/blocks? Oversoul: 19 Hand: 5 Library: 49 In Play: -(U) Overgrown Tomb (swamp/forest) -(U, U) Forest x2 -(U) Swamp...

That's not exactly accurate though. You can't just let it go whenever you want. You HAVE to let it go when you run out of mana to pay the upkeep, which will happen fairly quickly unless you have a lot of mana to invest. Being able to let your really crappy enchantment die by not paying its...

You mean, synergy, right? I don't see how it has synergy with anything more than the Caliph has synergy with Spirit Link or Pandemonium or Altar of Dementia or whatever. It's even useful by itself. Cards that hurt both you and your opponent have a long history of use in aggressive decks. Juzam...

You mean the combo with Key? All the Tezzeret decklists I've looked at are still using at least one Key, but it's I guess more like a contingency or for when you've already got Vault out. Or do you mean the Tezzeret deck itself as a combo? I don't consider it to be a combo because Tezzeret does...

Well yeah. The idea isn't that the Caliph is a good card. It's that it's not that incredibly bad. I kind of disagree with Spidey on it not necessarily being "Hall of Shame" worthy. If it were in a different set, it could very easily be the worst card for that set. But this is Mirage. I think...

Is this some big prank on me? If so, it's a good one and I applaud whoever came up with it... I didn't say Elspeth is way stronger than Tezzeret. I asked BPC what in the world he was talking about. Tezzeret is a vital part of a top-tier control deck in Vintage. People do realize that this is...

Speaking of favicons, sometimes they go a bit weird for me on bookmarks. Now my bookmark for this site is stuck with the favicon for the site "When to Work" (it's an indigo "W" sitting on top of a royal blue "W" and I no, I don't know how it happened).
