How does Malignant Growth combo with Stasis and Chronatog? You have to take turns in order to add counters to it. In order to be equal to Black Vise (aside from requiring two different types of colored mana and costing five times as much to play), you have to take three turns after playing it...

Well, it looks like the Caliph "wins." I still thing that Malignant Growth is orders of magnitude worse.

It's "Emberwilde" and not "Emberwild."

It hoses multicolored decks.

I think we agree here. I don't remember actually putting it in those terms (pushing an agenda), but it's something I might have said. Sharing the spirit of Christmas IS an agenda of sorts, but the word "agenda" often seems to connote, to some people at least, that there's something sinister...

He brought an F-22 Raptor to a gunfight...

*Cugel won't shoot at the bodies. It seems too disrespectful. He'll stick with the shortbow if we're ambushed in the immediate future and wait until we come across something more suitable before performing any test.*

Not impossible, but I doubt that grabbing dual lands was the issue. My guess is that this is supposed to be better than something more specific, such as Mountaincycling. More for formats or players without duals. Because you COULD cycle it for a Mountain, but if you need a Swamp instead, you...

I have been getting back into my cardboard collection again this year (and expect to actually have some good decks going soon). The Cephalid Breakfast thing was all on Apprentice, though. I don't have the cards for that in real life and can't justify buying a bunch of cards right now (because I...

Even though I started playing with the original Portal set (around the time Tempest was being released), I tend to think of myself as being at least passingly familiar with every single Magic card printed up until 2000 or so. But that's not really the case. Every once in a while, I run into some...

I've always liked Ashen Ghoul. Krovikan Horror too, but it bounces back to your hand, which isn't necessarily useless, but wouldn't make for a quick kill. The rationale behind Sutured Ghoul is that it's one creature that attacks for the kill without having to include several other creatures...

Thread necromancy time! Four years after this thread died, here I am again. I was screwing around with Legacy decks, testing them and reading about some less used ones. Well, I was messing with Cephalid Breakfast when I suddenly remembered this old thread. For those of you who don't know...

I don't understand this post. Could you elaborate? Do you seriously think that Elspeth is better in Vintage than Tezzeret? And what's this about Affinity? Tezzeret is already the centerpiece of its own control deck? Why are you trying to fit it into some other, worse deck?

Yeah, I was talking specifically about Vintage. It would be used in SOMETHING in Legacy, although I'm not sure what.

Merry Christmas. And it actually is Christmas now.

I forget if Cugel has a shortbow or a longbow. Either way he'll take the ornate longbow. After all, it is ornate. "Perhaps I should test this on something prior to relying on the integrity of its construction in live combat. Hm..."

That might be a concern if this thing had any potential in Vintage. It would have to be anylandyouwantcycling and they still might not use it.

Still not banning Dwarven Pony, huh?

I don't get it...
