Eternal Witness is a fantastic card. I get superb utility from it in my Commander deck, in ways that Regrowth wouldn't work. The techniques I employ there aren't even the same as the ones you're talking about, although they're similar. I had, let's see, Karmic Guide brings back Eternal Witness...

When it comes to card recursion, Regrowth is simply the greatest of all time. It's nothing fancy. It harkens back to the beginning of the game, when some spells were as simple and straightforward as they come. That's about as clean and clear as they come. Even the Alpha printing, in a set...

Take it.

I don't know how much it's really good instincts and how much it's just that there's some chaff on the Modern ban list and some of it inherently lines up with overall strategies and archetypes that we also happen to discuss. Might be a bit of both. I do think that, while I don't generally try...

Done. Spidey: 17 Hand: 4 Library: 49 Battlefield: (U,U,U) Plains x3 (U) Swamp Intangible Virtue (Creature tokens I control get +1/+1 and have vigilance) Intangible Virtue (Creature tokens I control get +1/+1 and have vigilance) (U) Spirit token (3/3; Flying, vigilance.) (U) Spirit token...

Boo! :( No, no response to that.

You beat me to it! I was procrastinating a bit on finishing character sheet updates for the whole party because I still didn't have anything from Melkor. I'll finish up everyone else's stuff and give it a bit more time, then probably just level Kelgar up and have him spend a bunch of time...

UUD, Forest, attack with Ghor-Clan Rampager, blocks/responses?

At some point in another thread, I covered the history of the term. It's rather weird... JP Meyer built a red Workshop deck in Type 1 in 2001. It mostly won by disrupting opponents and then beating them down with Juggernaut, Su-Chi, and Masticore. He named it "Stacker 2: The World's Strongest...

Exactly! I've never seen it come up, but it is a possibility. I almost always used the Serf tokens as sacrificial victims, and not in decks for which the Autocrat dying and exiling the tokens would be noticeably different from the Autocrat dying and burying the tokens. Based on the way WotC...

Sengir Autocrat made it into the core set for Fifth and Sixth Editions, and was later reprinted as a timeshifted card in Time Spiral and then again in Eternal Masters. Notably, the Sixth Edition text was responsible for changing the LtB trigger from killing the serfs to exiling them. I have...

Black also gets its share of creatures inspired by Lord of the Pit. Big creatures, usually either demons or horrors, that are impressive in combat but have an upkeep requirement to sacrifice a creature or else bad things happen. That bad thing can be as simple as "you lose your big guy"...

"It wears the souls of its victims like jewels on a chain." At some point in high school, the notion of a first-turn 6/6 trampler appealed to me, and I set about making a deck to achieve that. I named it "Chain of Souls" after Delraich's flavor text... It wasn't an especially consistent...

I already talked about Hecatomb in the Memories thread for Corrupt, on account of my old Fun With Swamps deck. I didn't really use Hecatomb much beyond that deck, and ultimately I preferred Pestilence, although the enchantments do perform somewhat similar roles. Hecatomb would have been a big...

Oh man, I was browsing old posts and came across this. I had completely forgotten that deck, and I can only assume I never actually played it... 4 Royal Assassin 4 Living Plane 4 Opposition 4 Deranged Hermit 4 Sengir Autocrat 4 Sandbar Merfolk 2 Cloud of Faeries 4 Dark Ritual 4...

Yikes, Spidey has some mana ramp.

In official communications, WotC tend to use the word "mechanic" to describe new rules concepts that apply to multiple cards in a set. So, if just one card does something, it's just what that card does. But if a set has several cards with some common feature, that common feature might be called...

Deck Name: Pitch Dredge Magic Format: Vintage (2016 to present) Insight: Vintage Dredge decks, while not as alien as Manaless Dredge decks in the Legacy format, are unusual decks that are deceptively fast. These decks operate by finding a copy of Bazaar of Baghdad (and use Serum Powder to...

UUD, Island, explore the first beach tile of the game... Deeproot Tree Site At the beginning of your end step, put a +1/+1 counter on target creature you control. Well, I have a feeling that I won't be holding onto that for very long. I guess I'll attack Mooseman with River Sneak, take his...
