Oops! I will get to this later today. So Ty takes the Fell Blade and Carrow takes the Soul Blade. If no one else wants to claim one, I'll just arbitrarily assign Tomas the Chaos Demon Sword and Revaethan the other two...

My recent revisions to Gitrog County Municipal Lake Dredge Appraisal, Hulking the deck out, have left me thinking that it's time to focus on another Commander deck. I'm not taking GCMLDA apart yet (especially now that I've just made up an abbreviation for it), but I think I've reached a kind of...

Wow, this one is cheesy, which of course means I like it. Dream Halls is a pet card of mine, although I'm uncertain if it's a good fit here. I've played around with graveyard combos a lot and I have some old notes that might have something relevant to this sort of deck, but I'm drawing a blank...

The competition for slots was fierce! I had a list of card written down, including a lot of cards that were ultimately cut, but sadly it did not survive. However, I might actually be misremembering and it's possible that Rootwater Matriarch did make it into early versions of Zur deck. It does...

Probably the best use of Rootwater Matriarch is to spam auras and steal multiple creatures. With just one aura, you're doing a tenuous impression of Seasinger. But if you steal three things with three auras, Rootwater Matriarch has generated real value and the only response an opponent might...

Like Scalpalexis, Rootwater Matriarch was reprinted in Tenth Edition, which in both cases I either didn't know or had forgotten until I started a thread about the card. Weird. What was going on with Tenth Edition anyway? I was a bit busy and poor at the time, but I always just thought of it as...

Based on the fist game, I thought that "Repeat Performance" stood a decent chance in the matchup, that it could have gone either way. But I had nothing that could come close to winning this one. Mostly drew lands and mana dorks. :/ "Sweet Revenge" is a neat deck, though.

Yep.

UUD, done. :(

The classic problem with auras is the inherent risk of card disadvantage. I play a creature, you play spell that kills the creature, and we're each down one card. But if I play a creature and put an aura on it, then you kill the creature, you're down one card and I'm down two cards. Kjeldoran...

I wanted to lead with the Matriarch herself in all her glory, mostly because it seems like there's a reasonable chance that someone might read this thread and say, "I used the card." On its own it is a bit awkward, but certainly not a bad card. However, I don't think that anyone would guess my...

Came across this old thread looking for something else and had to thread necromancy this gem. In fairness, I'm pretty confident that I can find some of my own predictions that look way sillier than this in retrospect. But I'd have to go hunt them down. :p

When the CPA had more activity, some of the cards I've written about in these threads would be criticized as "tournament cards." And like I said in the Wheel of Fortune thread, I have mixed feelings on the concept. I also noted this in one of my Comboist Manifesto articles (I forget which one...

The last couple of posts got a bit too technical on analysis of tournament Magic for my tastes when it comes to this whole "Magic Memories" theme that I've contrived. It's not that I'm opposed to talking about tournament decks. I probably spent more time doing it in the LED thread, but that was...

:eek:
