Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking about that. You don't need to worry about your own artifacts at all. But it's still really substandard artifact removal because it would take too long to get the job done. For example, if you needed to destroy a Juggernaut, you'd be beaten to death before...

I don't get it. Counting doesn't happen every upkeep. It's only your upkeep. You only choose one opponent, and the numbers are generally going to be pretty low. "Let's see, I control one artifact and you control three. I'll have this thing and that thing phase out. I have four creatures and you...

Harvest Wurm, returning the Forest in my graveyard to my hand. Although I don't particularly want to see the Mauler get bigger, I'm going to just save BB the effort and put a counter on it because it's not like he'd forget to... Done. Oversoul: 19 Hand: 5 Library: 49 In Play: -(U) Overgrown...

Oh, I see. Yeah, I think all of the successful decks Time Vault's been making appearances in have been Tezzeret decks.

Why would they make that card? Wasn't Forgotten Ancient good enough? At least they didn't make it blue... Untap, upkeep, draw, Forest, attack Mooseman with Fallow Wurm. Responses/blocks? Oversoul: 19 Hand: 5 Library: 49 In Play: -(U) Overgrown Tomb (swamp/forest) -(U, U) Forest x2 -(U) Swamp...

That's not exactly accurate though. You can't just let it go whenever you want. You HAVE to let it go when you run out of mana to pay the upkeep, which will happen fairly quickly unless you have a lot of mana to invest. Being able to let your really crappy enchantment die by not paying its...

You mean, synergy, right? I don't see how it has synergy with anything more than the Caliph has synergy with Spirit Link or Pandemonium or Altar of Dementia or whatever. It's even useful by itself. Cards that hurt both you and your opponent have a long history of use in aggressive decks. Juzam...

You mean the combo with Key? All the Tezzeret decklists I've looked at are still using at least one Key, but it's I guess more like a contingency or for when you've already got Vault out. Or do you mean the Tezzeret deck itself as a combo? I don't consider it to be a combo because Tezzeret does...

Well yeah. The idea isn't that the Caliph is a good card. It's that it's not that incredibly bad. I kind of disagree with Spidey on it not necessarily being "Hall of Shame" worthy. If it were in a different set, it could very easily be the worst card for that set. But this is Mirage. I think...

Is this some big prank on me? If so, it's a good one and I applaud whoever came up with it... I didn't say Elspeth is way stronger than Tezzeret. I asked BPC what in the world he was talking about. Tezzeret is a vital part of a top-tier control deck in Vintage. People do realize that this is...

Speaking of favicons, sometimes they go a bit weird for me on bookmarks. Now my bookmark for this site is stuck with the favicon for the site "When to Work" (it's an indigo "W" sitting on top of a royal blue "W" and I no, I don't know how it happened).

How does Malignant Growth combo with Stasis and Chronatog? You have to take turns in order to add counters to it. In order to be equal to Black Vise (aside from requiring two different types of colored mana and costing five times as much to play), you have to take three turns after playing it...

Well, it looks like the Caliph "wins." I still thing that Malignant Growth is orders of magnitude worse.

It's "Emberwilde" and not "Emberwild."

It hoses multicolored decks.

I think we agree here. I don't remember actually putting it in those terms (pushing an agenda), but it's something I might have said. Sharing the spirit of Christmas IS an agenda of sorts, but the word "agenda" often seems to connote, to some people at least, that there's something sinister...
