Bump, I guess. I saw that you had made the last post, but it was still for combat. My turn is done. Also, I guess I somehow had you going to 19 life, when obviously you were at 20 and would be at 18 after taking damage. Math is hard. Anyway, your turn.

Counterspell and Swords to Plowshares. I love this set.

Even though I didn't have Leovold or Notion Thief to block opponents from drawing cards off Arcane Denial (nor Consecrated Sphinx to one-up them), I did play it in decks that discouraged opponents from doing so or punished them if they tried. As I've said in other threads, I was enthusiastic and...

I recently watched this amusing video deck tech for a Leovold Commander deck. The list there is pretty solid, although substantially different from the Leovold deck I'm working on myself. But the most glaring omission is Arcane Denial. I'd have pointed it out in the comment section, but a few...

The Urza's Saga Pestilence had amazing art. The set also made Pestilence a common instead of an uncommon, which had amusing consequences for Limited formats. Having Pestilence at common was also relevant for Peasant Magic... Many years ago, a member here by the name of Ephraim was a big...

I'm surprised at how little hype there is for the new Nissa. Looks like one of the strongest planeswalker cards ever. I think people are underestimating the extent to which the flexibility is built into her mana cost, in contrast to other planeswalkers where the flexibility is contained pretty...

Got tails this time. I'll sleeve up Vampire Onslaught when I get home this evening. Good luck.

Yikes. I don't think that was typical performance for these decks. We both kept drawing lands more than would be expected. Preordain might have made the difference just shoving some of them to the bottom of my library. Even so, I thought your Bloodthrone Vampire would be the end of me. Two of...

Combat damage?

I'll pump the Hellkite twice to make it a 7/5. Responses?

UUD, Glacial Fortress, Attack with everything, blocks?

Pay 3 to have Hellkite blow up the Pawn. Porcelain Legionnaire, done. Spiderman: 6 Poison: 0 Hand: 1 Library: 43 Battlefield: (U,U,U,U,U,U,U,U,U,U) Swamp x10 (U) Blade of the Bloodchief (Whenever a creature is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, put a +1/+1 ctr on equipped creature...

Oops. No changes from me though, except I don't spend mana on a second activation and Hellkite is a 6/5 instead of a 2/1.

My monoblack Pestilence or "Radium" deck had a few different incarnations over the years. I had one throughout high school. Later, I took apart all of my decks except for Burn. Then one of the first decks I built was a similar Pestilence deck to my old one. When my entire collection was...

That does throw a monkey wrench into the works! I was assuming you'd either have an outright kill spell and use it after I did all that stuff or you wouldn't have one. Obviously I won't spend all of my mana to pump the Hellkite if you target it with Dismember in response to the Grand Architect's...

Untap, upkeep, draw. Well, here goes... Tap an Island for U and use it to activate Grand Architect's ability to make Steel Hellkite blue and that makes it a 6/6 due to Grand Architect), then activate Grand Architect's other ability tapping both itself and Lord of the Unreal for 4 mana. Tap my...

I got the idea of using Urza's Armor with Pestilence from that preconstructed deck and never really gave up on it. At 6 mana, Urza's Armor can be a bit much, but it's generally a good card, blanking opposing 1/X attackers entirely and linearly cutting down damage that opponents can dish out...

Done. Spiderman: 12 Poison: 0 Hand: 1 Library: 44 Battlefield: (T,U,U,U,U,U,U,U,U,U) Swamp x10 (U) Blade of the Bloodchief (Whenever a creature is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, put a +1/+1 ctr on equipped creature. If equipped creature is a Vampire, put two +1/+1 ctrs on it...
