That's why I never mulligan! :oops:

I can't really remember what you guys have drawn at this point, but if Healing Salve specifically is in there somewhere, then I messed up worse than I would have thought possible, as it's not in Eternal Masters at all. :p For all practical purposes, there's not any need for it, but do kind of...

Nope, it's a different game. My Leonin Skyhunter is going to beat you down and you don't get any Panic Spellbomb to save you this time. But I have to wait until I get home to know what my glorious topdeck is before I can actually get to that. So just you wait!

There aren't any mountains in this game! You're playing a green deck.

Are you OK? I noticed that you listed your basic land using an actual, full card name and not just two letters. If you're going to call cards by their actual names, that could get confusing. :p UUD, Plains, Leonin Skyhunter, done. Spiderman: 20 Poison: 0 Hand: 5 Library: 54 Battlefield...

My 2007 quarter landed on tails. I have a very dramatic opening turn of Plains, done. Spiderman: 20 Poison: 0 Hand: ?? Library: ?? Battlefield: Graveyard: Exile: ==================================================================================================== Oversoul: 20 Poison: 0...

Good question. I don't know how familiar the term is to everyone else, and it occurs to me that I don't remember seeing other people actually use it in the past few years, so I should note that the term "Aggro-Combo" is a concept that I used to see different Magic writers throw around, and in no...

I assumed that he would take a year, as per protocol.

People play Magic to have fun. Part of having fun is winning, yes, but how you win matters, even though theoretically it should not. I mean, if we were all computers or something, it wouldn't matter. But to humans, the details behind the outcome color our perception of the outcome. Years ago, I...

Well, that leaves me with War of Attrition. I'll sleeve it up when I get home this evening. Fun bit of trivia: when the DCI wanted to ban Stoneforge Mystic in Standard they had a problem: they had put two copies of the card into this Event Deck, and the premise of Event Decks was that they were...

One of the points brought up in SotF discussions contemporary with the ban was that the rise of "Vengevival" had made Survival decks by far the most prevalent decks in tournaments. While Survival had been part of the Legacy metagame from the beginning, it had finally been pushed to a new level...

The first Magic tournament I ever attended, some time in 1998, was Type 1.5. I didn't know what formats were back then, but I sort of fell into Type 1.5 thereafter, only to later realize that it was a niche format without much of a dedicated playerbase. Card prices and my annoyance as a new...

If we'd been sideboarding, I'd probably have swapped out unnecessary high cost spells for most of the creature removal in my sideboard, but I think that Infect and Defile would still be at a disadvantage. I mean, we only played two games and that's not a large enough sample to be sure, but my...

Yep, that kills me (I know what I'm drawing next because of Preordain). I could take out your second Wardriver, but now with only 3 life, I couldn't stop the wave of goblin tokens from dealing lethal on your next turn. I was hoping to try to stabilize even though I was sure Lightning Bolt would...

If you put it in the board status, wouldn't your first Wardriver be dead? Just like I will be soon enough... UUD, Island, Preordain, Necropede, done. Spiderman: 20 Poison: 0 Hand: 3 Library: 51 Battlefield: (T,T) Meitnerium x2 (T) Goblin creature token (1/1) (T) Goblin creature token...

http://whfb.lexicanum.com/wiki/Colleges_of_Magic No worries if you're not sure. Just wanted to give a chance to make sure things are consistent. Like, if you wanted your character to be someone who was used by the Colleges of Magic as a field researcher studying Orcish magic, and you come...

Since it hasn't come up yet, what might Tomas' background be that would give him familiarity with different types of magic? Obviously he has studied magic somewhere and as a dungeon-delving adventurer is a bit of a magical generalist, not likely to be a leading expert on a particular magical...

That CounterPost concept is what I'd call a semi-hard lock. It starts out being straightforward blue/white control, but as the deck accumulates more lands and can employ the Browse + Soldevi Digger engine, it can answer more threats than most opponents can possibly provide. Transitioning from...

On the one one hand, Scalpelexis triggers are bad for dredge-based archetypes, exiling cards from their shrinking library so they can't get them into the graveyard and use them. On the other hand, dredge-based decks tend to be so fast that a five-drop creature without any abilities that control...
