I was referring more to actually figuring out what to include in the deck in the first place than to acquiring the cards. Building decks is some great arcane puzzle and building highlander decks is even more daunting. Obviously not everyone feels that way, but I do.

I'm jealous. You finished building a Commander deck. How'd you do it?

Remind me to PM Spidey about sending him the next installment.

You asked for it, and the spammers delivered.

You say that, but this is possibly the greatest CPA article ever. The only flaw I can think of is that your deck still needs 53 more cards.

Kind of. Without nerding this thread up with too much biology, I'll just put it like this... People have been able to find dinosaur fossils throughout human history, but they used to come to unscientific conclusions like that they were the ancient bones of giants, dragons, or other mythical...

The top of the CPA homepage shows a new comment by Spiderman on the new Sheepangelball deck article, but because Spiderman disabled comments on articles, I can't actually see his comment (or any other comments on any articles).

I agree that botching the "human" part of Yavimaya Enchantress isn't comparable to the revision of Pygmy Allosaurus into a lizard. I brought it up because they're both cases where a creature type on a card was blatantly incorrect. They're the same in that respect, but that's where the similarity...

It's legal in the U.S., so long as one isn't using a computer to do it. Alas, I never leave my computer.

Deicide

Good thing I remembered to submit Part 4 before I went to bed! It had slipped my mind all week. Anyway, the order of cards has obviously been rather haphazard here, but this new installment has some of my favorites: the worst misprints in Alpha, and some of Magic's most notorious cards. I'm...

Human druids with pointy ears?

Many others have made Magic's nonsensical taxonomy the butt of jokes. I've certainly done so myself. Pygmy Allosaurus is probably the most egregious erratum in this category. There were already lizards at the time the card was printed. It wasn't one of them. But the great creature type revision...

Full, open-ended deck building? That could be a big boon for this franchise. I didn't get why they hadn't already done it.

You're such a tease.

Mana Confluence is a usually superior alternative to City of Brass (better against Rishadan Port, but worse in combination with, say, Phyrexian Unlife). Theros and Born of the Gods have a few corner-case Legacy playables between them. This set hasn't even been spoiled yet, but it already clearly...

I'll use the black mana to cast Volcano Imp. Then I'll play Grafted Skullcap. Discard Fever Charm to the Skullcap. Done. Common Pool Nothing. Ha! Library: 55 Graveyard: Last Breath (Oversoul), Chromatic Star (rokapoke), Eladamri's Call (rokapoke), Primal Growth (Mooseman), Soothing...

Yeah, it's already looking higher-powered than Born of the Gods. I mean, this whole block is a bit weak in comparison to previous ones, but it's still got a lot of appeal. I really like that they appear to finally be following through on the "enchantment matters" concept with this set.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Untap, upkeep, draw, tap both Swamps floating BB, Dark Ritual, tap a Mountain to cast Raze sacrificing one of my Swamps to destroy my other Swamp. Responses? Common Pool Nothing. Ha! Library: 55 Graveyard: Last Breath (Oversoul), Chromatic Star (rokapoke), Eladamri's Call (rokapoke)...
