To rehash the major points of the article, but without corrupted punctuation... I can think of four major approaches to using Pursuit of Knowledge. There are some niche applications as well, including some that didn't exist in 2004 (when I wrote that article), which I might talk about later...

UUD, Porcelain Legionnaire, done. Spiderman: 20 Hand: 2 Library: 49 Battlefield: (T,U,U,U,U) Swamp x5 (U) Gloom Surgeon Creature-Spirit (2/1; If combat dmg would be dealt to ~, prevent that dmg and exile that many cards from the top of my library) (U) Cemetery Reaper Creature-Zombie (2/2...

As with Fluctuator, I actually wrote an article about Pursuit of Knowledge here at the CPA at one point. I almost forgot about it! This one was way back in 2004. Yikes. http://www.casualplayers.org/article/get.php?action=getarticle&articleid=915 My articles back then were pretty bad. Also...

This one might be a bit obscure. I don't remember seeing a lot of other people using Pursuit of Knowledge. Even Scalpelexis had its fans, and while Bubbling Muck might not be highly renowned as Magic cards go, it was played extensively in tournaments once upon a time. But Pursuit of Knowledge...

You guys, I just remembered that Sandwurm Convergence is now a thing again. This could make for a very obnoxious casual deck. I don't know whether to use Academy Rector or Enduring Ideal for the setup. Rector is way faster, but Ideal can go off on the subsequent turn and fetch, say, Dovescape...

Oblivion Ring Tandem Lookout Dismember Divine Deflection

:eek:

Block with Tandem Lookout.

Alas, the wood elves seem to lack the good sense to stock Bugman's beer. The only Bugman's beer to be found is Dorgath's own supply of Bugman's XXXXXX.

"I can assure you, I'll be looking into that now. There are a few possibilities. I'll assemble a council in the morning to address this and I need time to assess the problem. The healers will tend to Jekaena. You should get some rest..." The wood elves offer to accommodate the party at the...

UUD, Porcelain Legionnaire, pair it with Tandem Lookout, done. Spiderman: 20 Hand: 3 Library: 50 Battlefield: (T,T,T,T) Swamp x4 (U) Gloom Surgeon Creature-Spirit (2/1; If combat dmg would be dealt to ~, prevent that dmg and exile that many cards from the top of my library) (U) Cemetery...

You're never safe from me! UUD... Dragonskull Summit, Obelisk of Grixis, done. Nicol Bolas, God Emperor of Dune: 40 Hand: 6 Library: 52 Battlefield: (T) Dragonskull Summit (~ etb tapped unless I control a swamp or a mountain. T: adds B or R to my mana pool.) (U) Obelisk of Grixis...

Ty is (allegedly?) from Middenheim, which is part of the Empire, which itself is a pretty big place. To the wood elves, referring to Ty's "homeland" is ambiguous. It could mean just Middenheim or it could mean the entire Empire.

Alright, I'll shuffle up (a lot) again tonight. Your doom is coming, Gatewatch!

If I remember correctly, it couldn't possibly have mattered in retrospect. If you'd chosen the other way I'd have more creatures (all three of the cards that went to the bottom of my library were creatures, but only Harvester of Souls was much use to me at that point) and wouldn't have been able...

She's thousands of years old, is the avatar of a god, and was an elven archmage before all that. So she has some tricks up her sleeve. :p

Well, I'm up for another one. Or perhaps someone else wants to be ganged up on?

Yeah, I lose. That was brutal. I really think my topdecks were so bad from both decks that I might have lost to just one of you guys, let alone all three. :eek:

Uh, I guess my only remaining creature blocks your Inferno Titan.

"So, Coril is the traitor? He is a skilled fighter, but he is not invincible. He would pose a dire threat to any one of you, but could not hope to triumph against all seven. Hunt him down and destroy him however you can."
