Horizon Canopy is back in and Karakas is out. This is solely due to the Rules Committee banning Karakas and the unwarranted respect that this "official" designation has in the community. I'd rather have a deck that is deemed "legal" by potential opponents than one that includes Karakas (same...

Block with Cavern Harpy, sacrifice Enslaved Dwarf to pump Cavern Harpy.

Well, I got the expansion. Actually, I was automatically awarded the expansion, having bought the premium content at some point. I haven't gone through most of the expansion content yet, but it looks like this release is intended to fix some of the issues that players had complained about. And...

I've got to go. But I'll play an Island and discard Mountain and Kamahl's Summons at the end of my turn.

You'd have to find people registered to vote, but who don't vote. You'd have to acquire their ballots, fill them out, sign each one, and drop them off. That's a lot of trouble to go to for what? A dozen extra votes? I guess if you really wanted to have more say than anyone else in deciding the...

Yeah, they recommend voting early (but, alas, not often) for that very reason. If there's a problem with one's signature, the voter could be contacted and the vote verified before election day if the ballot was turned in early enough.

The November 2008 election was the last one in which Washington had polling locations, although I was already registered to receive absentee ballots anyway. I usually procrastinate, but this time I turned in my ballot about a week before the election.

We're all absentee ballots in Washington. I voted ages ago.

Resale value: Built from Scratch. Play: Either Built from Scratch or Forged in Stone depending on your style. Coolness: I think there's a case to be made for Guided by Nature, but I'll look into it more once I have the actual decks... Basically, Built from Scratch is the Mind Seize of this...

Untap, upkeep, draws, cycle Forgotten Cave...

Well, if someone else casts Kamahl's Summons, I'm even more dead than I am right now, so I guess I pick that.

Maybe images would be better for that. Or it could be some combination of things. Isolating personal favorites would probably be a good way to improve the set reviews. I'm still toying with how to make them have meaningful, comprehensive content without making them too long and repetitive. I'll...

Yep, same ones I've primarily seen on store shelves. Neither one is particularly bad, but they just aren't as impressive as the other three, for various reasons. The WUB one, though, is easily my favorite. You're thinking of the 2012 Commander's Arsenal product. That was the year after they...

Not sure what you mean. Griselbrand has been around for a few years and isn't really considered new anywhere except maybe here, because this site is populated exclusively by old fogies. In the last year or so (probably a bit more), Oath decks in Vintage moved away from other creatures and became...

Well, I'll put it this way... Casting a 7/7 flying lifelink creature with pay 7 life: draw 7 cards for only three mana is good enough to win tournaments. Are you surprised? :p

The cards that cause the problem were, in order, True-Name Nemesis, Toxic Deluge, and Baleful Strix. The first two of those were brand new cards. They weren't (and aren't) legal in most Constructed tournament formats, but Legacy and Vintage are now "Eternal" formats and are exceptions. Baleful...

People are already preordering all five decks even though they haven't really been revealed yet. I'm holding off. I think it's just that people are sore about last year, which was pretty understandable. We don't know which, if any of these decks will stupidly skyrocket in value, but some people...

In this deck, Sheoldred is probably only slightly better than Reya Dawnbringer most of the time (although depending on opponents, the difference could matter more). But the thing is that having two of those creatures is pretty valuable and can win games. I'd use more than two if I could. In...

Nope.

I refined the deck some more, cutting cards that seemed redundant or underwhelming for ones that I hope will be more promising. -1 Miren, the Moaning Well -1 Horizon Canopy -1 Mox Diamond -1 Angel of Despair -1 Bloodghast -1 Nether Shadow +1 Worm Harvest +1 Spore Frog +1 Carrion Feeder +1...
