Carrow and Revaethan both examine the journal. They begin to think that perhaps Tomas might be the better person to look into it after all: much of the journal seems to deal with some sort of magic. There are diagrams and tables containing arcane symbols. The author appeared to have been in the...

Somewhere, I read that Browse + Soldevi Digger was a good combo. I didn't understand how at the time, but eventually I grasped the concept. A control deck with enough answers can stall for a while, use Browse to filter through unneeded cards and play the cards that actually keep them in control...

There was actually a third infinite combo deck with Soldevi Digger that I had built conceptually but never, to my recollection, piloted against a real human being. Like the others, it was monoblue. This time it was Grim Monolith and Power Artifact to make mana and, as usual, Stroke of Genius and...

Because I was once am a jerk, I used to try to win casual multiplayer games with infinite combos. Most of these were not engineered to be lightning fast, but spent early turns on defenses and then attempted to execute a combo kill. I distinctly remember that at least two of these relied on...

One of the aspects of black, which WotC continues here and there to emphasize (I know Mark Rosewater in particular likes to talk about the color pie and has brought it up on several occasions) is that it is the color with the biggest tendency to push people toward using more of it, because it...

Most of my experiences with Scalpelexis were across the table from my friend's deck, but I did get to play it myself and it was great fun. Scalpelexis was excellent against a popular card of the time: Gaea's Blessing. That card was ruinous for Millstone and friends, but easy prey for...

I'm guessing he's gone early for President's Day weekend? Guess we'll have to wait until next week for him to kill me. I'm thinking I survive to see turn 6, but that may be overly optimistic...

I blame power creep. Maybe the card was never amazing at five mana, but back when it was released in Judgment or maybe even when it was reprinted in Tenth Edition, a 1/5 flyer that could exile cards off the top of the library that much was, while not a competitive powerhouse, generally...

Also, your Meitnerium is subject to radioactive decay and by now would surely be other elements by now. Should I updated the board state to reflect this? :p

Because I'd guess that you'd probably still play the second Wardriver, but I just want to make sure...

We miss you!

I used to use Soldevi Digger all the time. It's one of my old favorites, but people always seemed to underestimate it. I suppose it's the whole "bottom of your library" thing. Unless you shuffle your library, for most decks, putting a card on the bottom means that you'll never see it again for...

When the Necropede dies, I'll use its death trigger on Goblin Wardriver (the first one, as you hadn't played the second one yet). That change anything?

Dorgath doesn't know if it's magical writings or not. His upbringing in Zhufbar did not prepare him for deciphering elven script.

Of course they're understandable. That's not the point! This is the CPA, so the point is always messing with Spiderman. I'll block the Goblin Wardriver with the Necropede.

I don't think I've played with or against the card since my friend's old deck was taken apart, but it definitely made an impression (I wish that we'd saved the decklist). Like I said, it's had me putting snow-covered lands into casual decks ever since. I realize that the game has changed a lot...

Dorgath checks for secret doors in the secret room, but there don't seem to be any. Searching turns up some items... -1 Cloak of Loren -15 Arrows of Loren -A journal

German. In what language is "Mt" a word? :p Well, I'm at work of course, but thanks to Preordain I know what my topdeck will be, so.. UUD, Island, Necropede, done. Spiderman: 20 Poison: 0 Hand: 3 Library: 52 Battlefield: (T,T) Montagne x2 (T) Goblin creature token (1/1) (T) Goblin...

Only three creatures on the first turn in a deck based around Battle Cry? Slacker. Draw, Island, Preordain, leave the cards where they were before drawing one, done. Spiderman: 20 Poison: 0 Hand: 4 Library: 53 Battlefield: (T) Berg (S) Goblin creature token (1/1) (S) Goblin creature...

The most mainstream deck that might conceivably run all three is Pox, and yeah, no one really considers it a top Legacy deck these days. Probably also the most mainstream deck to use Dark Ritual at all for any purpose besides trying to go with a fast combo kill. Of course, if you have a bad...
