As Stephen Menendian also noted in the podcast, that Doomsday archetype first showed up in late 1997 and was mostly active in 1998. It saw some refinement, but was superceded by newer combo decks. Then Doomsday itself was restricted in 1999 as part of the massive Type 1 restriction waves that...

Yeah, land destruction as utility is probably the biggest space for it in tournament play. That's why Wasteland and Strip Mine are so good: they offer that utility when it becomes valuable, but work as normal lands the rest of the time. I do wish more of the stuff like Pox decks, Stax decks...

Done. Spidey: 13 Hand: 4 Library: 49 Battlefield: (U,U,U) Forest x3 (U) Mountain (U) Burning-Tree Emissary (2/2; When ~ ETB, add RG to my mana pool) Graveyard: Flame of the Firebrand, Skaarg Guildmage Exile: ================================================================================...

I don't know how what happened with the battery could have anything to do with it. Might be a coincidence. What happened was that I realized I didn't have power steering when I went to do my drive home from the train station after work, but didn't closely investigate why not. Serpentine belt had...

I'm listening to the new episode of So Many Insane Plays, and there's a bunch of stuff about Doomsday, a fascinating card that I couldn't really do a Memories thread on because I hardly touched it myself. Stephen Menendian helpfully dug up the oldest Doomsday deck he could find. Even though I...

Bah. Still having car trouble. Probably going to have to replace it. I'll still get to this and the Archenemy game relatively soon...

Skaarg Guildmage dies, one centaur token dies, and you take 4?

UUD, Godless Shrine, activate Vitu-Ghazi Guildmage to populate, making a third centaur token. Attack with two centaur tokens and Doomed Traveler. Blocks/responses?

In large, established tournaments? I mean, it's kind of a high bar to set. I think a lot of perfectly interesting mechanics don't make it into the highest tiers of current tournament gameplay. Still, LD does show up in all three of the formats you named. I agree that it seems slow for Modern...

Well, I just posted that list from one of the land destruction decks I used in the old computer game. Here's the other one. 4 Birds of Paradise 4 Erhnam Djinn 4 Armageddon 1 Balance 1 Black Vise 2 Dingus Egg 4 Ice Storm 3 Juggernaut 4 Kudzu 3 Llanowar Elves 1 Regrowth 3 Savannah Lions 4...

In the casual decks forum, I already posted my Ankh deck from the old Magic computer game. Here's the list... 4 Ankh of Mishra 4 Stone Rain 1 Strip Mine 1 Regrowth 3 Drop of Honey 4 Birds of Paradise 4 Ice Storm 4 Ghazban Ogre 4 Kird Ape 4 Lightning Bolt 4 Taiga 1 Black Vise 2 Fellwar Stone 4...

That old Type 2 deck Black Rasmussen put in the article looks awesome. I didn't use Thermokarst a ton because of the double-green color requirement, but I did have it in some old land destruction deck at some point. The new art and flavor text are probably fine. I might just be nostalgic for...

I think you're thinking of the wrong game?

Schools of Magic? I'll just leave this here... But to actually respond to this concept, I notice that Liliana of the Dark Realms is not in their section for planeswalkers and mana acceleration, like Dark Ritual or Elvish Spirit Guide, isn't in their table of different game effects.

I don't know how much it comes across in text, but I think the main idea was Psarketos's sense of humor in that he is expected to bring "goblin tribal" as in a deck based around the goblin creature type and cards synergize with goblin-type cards, but he goes and actually builds a powerful...

Well, I'm in big trouble no matter what, but I guess I'll have to sacrifice my giant unblockable River Sneak otherwise I'd presumably die. :(

New Doomsday are looks great. Rishadan Port was possibly the most needed non-Reserved reprint up to this point. More Lightning Bolt is good. I like this. This is good. I am happy with this. Don't buy Masters sets specifically or don't buy new sets at all? If you avoid Masters sets...

Oh! Yeah, that's another factor. Multiplayer games get all nuanced like that. On a kinda related note, Tribal Game 13 was one of my favorite games I can remember playing in, and not specifically because I won in the end. There was just so much stuff going on. Mooseman and I trying to outdo each...

Likes for the like god! Yeah, I'd forgotten that those trophies were a thing. I assume the XenForo setup was made that way to serve forum communities a bit more, uh, populous than this one. I'm still waiting on my trophy for "Most times someone saw the 'submitted message is too long' error...

You forgot Kelgar, your friendly neighborhood hammerpriest!
