Well, this got the job done. Definitely had some issues with consistency that I spotted in actual gameplay and that would be addressed if I continued to play this deck in something approximating its current form. But for yesterday's event, that was overshadowed by something else. In the first...

I don't know what's so threatening about me. I've been eliminated first in every Explorers of Ixalan game we've done. You guys know I don't get to build my own deck in this one, right? :p

I kept planning to get to this at specific points and always had other stuff come up. Enough of that! -Ty becomes confused. -Jekaena casts Glittering Robe (+6 damage absorption). -Tomas casts Life Force on Throg. -Kelgar blesses Throg and Revaethan with Vanquish (+1 Attacks). -Carrow takes aim...

My friend who organizes our local EDH league screwed up and I only recently learned that for tomorrow's event, we're incentivized to run two-color decks. GCMLDA probably isn't appropriate for the league, so I threw this together. And all in what was, for me, record time. 1x Abrade 1x Arcane...

UUD, Planeswalk to The Fourth Sphere. Then I'll play a Swamp and attack Mooseman with Withered Wretch. Blocks/responses?

I've got nothing.

I just wasn't familiar with that notation (wherever it's from). I guess it's more convenient to use "X" than trying something like "_" or "☐" or whatever. Good to know.

Right! For independent events, we don't care in which order the chests are opened or how long it takes. We could say that we'll open them up one at a time or that we'll open them all up at once or somewhere in between. If we're still at a point before that has happened and we want to know the...

I remember that BigBlue was a math person. Forget if we had anyone else... The figure they're giving you may be for opening up all of those chests. Each one is independent, but we can still compute the probability of getting the desired item from a set number of chests. Let's say that we...

X?

Alas, I'm tapped out.

Lately, I've been heavily involved in EDH deckbuilding and gameplay. It's kind of been ramping up and I'm having a lot of fun with the format. As I noted in some other recent thread somewhere, I don't want to turn into one of those people who basically quit the rest of Magic and become...

UUD, planar die comes up blank, Swamp, Withered Wretch, done. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Command Zone: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Oversoul: 20 (Zombie Empire) Hand: 6 Library: 51 Battlefield: (T)...

UUD, Forest, done. Spidey: 20 Hand: 6 Library: 51 Battlefield: (U,U) Forest x2 (U) Honored Hierarch (1/1; Renown 1 (When this creature deals combat dmg to a player, if it isn't renowned, put a +1/+1 ctr on it and it becomes renowned); As long as ~ is reowned, it has vigilance and "T: Add...

Most of the time when Nether Void was used in Magic's history, it followed the general model of "Blow up their lands with Sinkhole and Icequake and stuff so that they can't get enough mana to cast their spells, while beating them to death with something." It's simple and, compared to later...

While I'm baffled that coating anything with venom would somehow make it survive damage, that does check out... Spiderman: 16 (Pirates) Quest: Sails Unfurled (The next creature that ETB under my control ETB with an additional +1/+1 ctr on it and it gains haste ueot) Hand: 4 Library: 48...

As cool as monoblack control is in Legacy, it hasn't been a top contender in tournaments and it has struggled to adapt as the environment has become increasingly fast, efficient, and consistent. I sort of suspect that Nether Void as a tournament card has hit a dead-end. It's not viable in...

This set seems kinda bonkers. I mean, it's too early to tell for sure, but there's some potent-looking stuff here. Usually I don't appreciate new sets very much until I've played with them a little and I have to bear that in mind when evaluating spoilers and such. Either this is the first...

Good question. It's been a while now since I read the rules on those. I'll see if I can find anything... There it is!

So, despite missing a couple of key weeks, I managed to just barely sneak into the Top 8 on achievement points in my local Commander League. I'm tentatively planning to dedicate more of my active deckbuilding efforts to that league, so I'll be tailoring new decks or revisions to existing decks...
