Loam decks have been a recurring experiment for me in the West Coast Commander League. I've already talked about that in the Magic Memories thread for Life from the Loam. What I don't think I emphasized there was that most of my Loam decks also doubled as Landfall decks, at least to some extent...

Round 1 -Dorgath lines up and tosses the axe. He throws with his off-hand. He nearly hits his mark, but throwing off-handed has messed with his aim. Throg and Carrow heckle Dorgath for this blunder. -Kelgar throws the axe, but misses the target. It looks like Sigmar has forsaken him. -Ty throws...

Dorgath manages to set up a crude target for an impromptu axe-throwing competition in this undead-infested dungeon. Alright, so who's participating in this?

"Turn every weakness into a strength." —Titania, Probably Titania is the pet commander of a friend of mine. The deck used to always be his default going into unfamiliar territory because a Titania deck can be fast enough to kill high-powered EDH decks, but doesn't really do anything so...

Everyone's character has a Ballistic Skill stat, although if I remember correctly, the Pit Fighter and Chaos Warrior have no normal means of improving their Ballistic Skill, as both classes consider ranged weapons to be for sissies.

In the right deck, Harrow can act like a "Ritual" spell and net more mana than was spent to cast it in the first place. That's pretty obvious and I've found it to be a nice stratagem, but I don't think I ever did this prior to 2018. Of course, it's been an option pretty much all along. Mana...

Dorgath doesn't find any secret doors.

In EDH, land-based mana ramp is so valuable that green is an extremely valuable color to be running on that basis. The color has other perquisites, but land interaction is pretty much sufficient on its own. According to EDHrec statistics, Cultivate is the third most popular card in the format...

Dorgath isn't sure how it got here or how long it's been sitting here, but he finds a magic ring on the floor. Protection Ring: Grants the wearer +1 Toughness. Worth 300 gold.

-The Power Phase is 3 for this turn. -Tomas draws 2 Power from his Chalice of Sorcery. The Chalice drains some of his life force (12/21). -Tomas casts Lifebringer. He heals himself (18/21), Revaethan (15/18), and Kelgar (19/19). -Tomas casts Lifebringer. He heals Throg (24/29) and Revaethan...

Recently I found myself commenting on how Harrow is so good that a downgraded version of it is still a decent card. The most recent standard Magic set, Zendikar Rising, introduced a Harrow knockoff, and it's not bad. Having the lands enter the battlefield tapped is a pretty severe drawback and...

I talked to some people about this deck in a Discord last month. The main topic of discussion had nothing to do with my deck really. It was just kind of a tangent. Anyway, the nice people there had some feedback for me, but I didn't do anything with it at the time and I still haven't made any...

Harrow was a pretty flexible source for mana-fixing in an multicolored deck and I didn't own a lot of cards back then, so I might have continued to use it for a while after I upgraded that five-color pile in mid-1998 (my whole collection fit in a single plastic tray I'd repurposed from...

That was Mummy #1, but Ty finished it off. I'd already snapped a photo of the map and didn't go back to change it. I'll post another one presently...

At the beginning of the thread for Seasons Past, I noted that my extensive EDH deckbuilding efforts of the past few years and my dabbling in Canadian Highlander have been my only outlet for experience with some of the "new" cards in the game. Going through my most-played cards in EDH for 2019...

-The Power Phase is 2 for this turn. -Tomas draws 3 power from his Chalice of Sorcery. -Tomas casts Firehammer on Mummy #4 (36/40). -Tomas casts Firehammer on Mummy #4 (24/40). -Jekaena casts Heal Wounds on Revaethan (8/18). -Kelgar's attempt at a blessing fails! -Revaethan chugs his healing...

Going by card type, my top 18 creatures are dominated by green. Creatures Spike Weaver: 7 Eternal Witness: 6 Genesis: 6 Elvish Reclaimer: 5 Serra Ascendent: 5 Spore Frog: 5 Eternal Dragon: 4 Academy Rector: 3 Birds of Paradise: 3 Dryad of the Ilysian Grove: 3 Mother of Runes: 3 Oracle of Mul...

About a year a go, I published a statistics brief on the decks I played in the West Coast Commander League (WCCL) in 2019. At that time, I imagined that I'd probably play in more of the WCCL weekly events in 2020 than I did in 2019, and that I could do this again with more data. That turned out...

Balefire Dragon has earned a spot in my toolbox of EDH cards. Let's a take a look at how it got there. 07/21/19: Please Sir, Play a Legendary Land I'm really proud of this deck and it remains one of my favorite builds from the West Coast Commander League. July of 2019 had points themed around...

-Dorgath's Rune of Restoration restores him to full Wounds (25/25). -Tomas casts Life Force on Throg. -Tomas casts Life Force on Ty. -Jekaena casts Heal Wounds on Ty (9/20). -Jekaena casts Heal Wounds on Tomas (16/21). -Kelgar uses Power of Sigmar to heal Ty (12/20) and Tomas (17/21). -Ty takes...
