My third issue: Jeweled Lotus augments almost any deck built around quickly resolving a commander, while doing nothing for decks that operate on a different axis. It might seem self-evident that in the “Commander” format, decks are built around “commanders.” But the format has evolved over the...

It’s been well over a month since the release of Commander Legends. Since the set was spoiled, I’ve been mulling over my gripes regarding a somewhat controversial card in the set, Jeweled Lotus. Wizards of the Coast clearly viewed the upcoming artifact as something that should be exciting, and I...

Happy New Year!

Initially I hesitated to bother creating a thread for this card, simply because I don't have that many memories surrounding it and I haven't really used it so much, but let me put that in context. Looking over the numbers in my West Coast Commander League decks, I built decks with Balefire...

Two things... I have now color-coded the actions from the first round of combat. Not sure if anyone else besides TomB saw it already, but I'd initially left it without colors because I looked at my clock and decided I'd better immediately get ready for bed. But it's fixed now, so there. There's...

-The Power Phase is 3 for this turn. -Throg resists the banshee's Terror. -Dorgath resists the banshee's Terror. -Carrow becomes terrified of banshees. -Kelgar resists the banshee's Terror. -Ty resists the banshee's Terror. -Tomas becomes terrified of banshees. -Revaethan resists the banshee's...

Last month, it was announced that the West Coast Commander League would run events online through webcams. I set up a Discord server to help with the administration of these events and the League organizer looked into the Spell Table site for running the actual games. We did some testing in the...

Merry Christmas. I'll get back to updating the Warhammer Quest thread soon, probably. Some time this year, anyway.

Fine, that first post might have been a little bit hyperbolic. Slightly. But I was only half-joking! I remember that when Balefire Dragon was new, I thought of it as just being another in a long line of big, red dragons. I did notice that its ability was splashy and I probably thought about...

Dorgath would recognize dwarven ruins and no, that's not what this is. In fact, the place generally isn't "ruined." Dorgath has been traversing these passages for a bit and I'll say that his background with stonework would tip him off to the fact that the roots didn't grow in and break into this...

Revaethan eyes Dorgath quizzically. "Elven? I assumed it was Dwarven."

It's just hanging there.

Carrow knocks an Arrow of Loren and aims into the empty room. Nothing happens.

White gets a bad rap in EDH, but I think that the color I've had the most trouble trying to use in EDH has been red. With the tendency toward drawn-out multiplayer games, trying to dish out damage isn't as effective as it would be in your typical 20-life duel. Efficient damage is no longer...

Throg attempts to throw a boot at Dorgath, but it sails over the dwarf's head, skips along the wall, bounces off a corner, and lands in the pit of corrosive ooze.

Carrow is actually out of regular arrows. Hip Quiver (25/30) 1 Arrow of Sure Flight 23 Arrows of Loren 1 Hail of Doom Arrow Magical Quiver (30/30) 8 Fire Arrows 6 Razor Arrows 16 Arrows of Loren

Loops and recursive setups are easy to pull off with Seasons Past, something it shares with cards like Reveillark. If that were all, the card would be an interesting tool to keep in mind. But what takes it beyond that and makes Seasons Past special is that it is often just a good value play on...

It's in the Warhammer Quest channel on the Discord. You should be able to see it...

The Power Phase is 6. Also, I've tried this lazy new thing where I snap a picture of the board with my phone while in the Discord, so it just posts that there for me.

Dorgath finds a loose panel along the wall. As the dwarf pushes on it, a secret door groans open, revealing another chamber encrusted in desolate roots. A strange mist fills the otherwise nondescript room. You experience a sense of foreboding.
