I don't get it. You've listed way more land than you'd come close to needing, and some of these lands are terrible. Your system of marking them with asterisks is just distracting. It seems like you're doing a lot of work, listing every possible land you could use instead of just trying to build...

Well, I haven't taken these apart yet, but I probably will soon. I have other decks I want to focus on and, if nothing else, I can use the sleeves. There's a chance I'll eventually get around to making these non-Standard decks, but the experiment is over. With the limited selection of...

No Spiderman today. Maybe the snow got him?

Hey, it snowed here (a little). I thought I'd let everyone know.

Submitted an article for this week late last night (would have been early this morning for most of you). Hopefully it went through...

Show and Tell is another source of broken combo decks in Legacy right now, maybe the best one (many players want Show and Tell to be banned). One of the archetypes using it focuses on Dream Hall and Omniscience, with the goal of casting Enter the Infinite in order to set up a kill. And you know...

Well, I'm not going to pretend to be surprised, but I was hoping that there'd be change for Legacy, even though there never is. I haven't been very active in the format, but I've followed it since it started and I think it's currently the worst it's ever been, discounting stuff like the brief...

Joke's on you: I don't have any grandchildren.

I remember now. The "new" Simic decks I've faced have been based around either Biovisionary (which is actually pretty dangerous in a control deck) or, in the other case, Renegade Krasis (cute, but not immune to Pestilence, as my opponent discovered). Anyway... I would cut some of the evolve...

I will probably not be decked. I anticipate losing when my life total hits 0.

I've never been very good about keeping track of Simic cards, even the old ones, although I remember some of them. As for the new ones, think I've played against two Simic decks based around cards from RTR block, but I'm a little fuzzy on the details right now. I'll have to look most of these...

There's a lot of, um, enthusiasm in the Seattle area right now regarding the Seahawks; it's definitely moreso than the last time they went to a super bowl.

Nope.

I used to play decks with Megrim in them a lot. I probably wouldn't do that anymore because there are just too many better strategies now. Waste Not is pretty comparable to Megrim and I'm guessing Megrim was kept in mind by whoever was in charge of balancing this thing. I'd hesitate to use Waste...

I'd be pleasantly surprised if it ends up being a strong card. One doesn't get to control which types of cards opponents will be discarding. One might want to draw cards, but find that discard spells can only hit lands, providing useless mana. If it was one effect for any type of discarded card...

I've done infinite combos a lot in the past. The decks I'm working on right now for Legacy are Ad Nauseam Tendrils, Oops, All Spells!, and Belcher, none of which go infinite. That wasn't really a factor in my decision to focus on those decks. They're just the ones that appeal to me the most at...

I've seen special budget-enforced formats before, but I don't think anyone has tried getting that sort of thing going here. We're probably too lazy to look up a bunch of card prices anyway. I'm all for a custom banned list, but that would require a committee to update it, and we don't seem to...

Ah. I totally misunderstood that, then. I don't usually pay attention to how much a whole deck costs because I'm not enough of a baller to buy entire decks from scratch. I used to have one back when it was probably worth $5 or something, and I probably traded it for cards that suck. Gaea's...

Yeah, in my experience, most decent Reanimator decks bulldoze decks that don't have removal of some sort. And that's a totally valid strategy. It used to be more prevalent, especially back before Entomb was printed. In part, Dredge might have driven out this flavor of Reanimator, because when...

We did, actually. And I ruined it again? I don't know. I prefer the charitable explanation that none of us were really thinking about whether individual tribes should be banned in a "everything but tribal creatures is restricted" format, so when CanadianBrad expressed that they shouldn't be, we...
