Having already started threads for Dark Ritual and Lake of the Dead, I assume that I've made my penchant for black mana acceleration clear by now. Bubbling Muck is a curious case. The card is all but forgotten, and lived in the shadow of the much more successful High Tide. Actually, I should...

I'll sac the Bear.

UUD, Island, Lord of the Unreal, attack with the Bear, done. Spiderman: 17 Poison: 0 Hand: 5 Library: 53 Battlefield: (T,T) Swamp x2 (S) Bloodthrone Vampire[/color] (1/1; Sac a creature: ~ gets +2/+2 ueot) Graveyard: Exile...

No mulligan here either. Draw, Island, Phantasmal Bear, done. Spiderman: 20 Poison: 0 Hand: 6 Library: 54 Battlefield: (U) Swamp Graveyard: Exile: ==================================================================================================== Oversoul: 20 Poison: 0 Hand: 6...

Heads it is.

Good game. As soon as I saw Inkmoth Nexus, I was all, "Initiate Operation Kill Spidey Before He Gets Another Flying Blocker." For all the games I've seen played on this board over the years, I think this is the first time I've seen one actually end with a player getting 10 Poison counters. So at...

You've got a point. But because of the nature of that format, creature-based synergies are very strong and being able to tutor for particular creatures cheaply is one of the most powerful effects one can get. Survival is probably one of the most potent cards that any green-heavy deck has access...

UUD, Activate Inkmoth Nexus to make it a creature, attack with it for lethal poison.

Blight Mamba regenerates and survives. Viridian Corrupter dies. Both Germ tokens die. Rot Wolf and Inkmoth Nexus hit you for a total of 3 poison. Second main phase, I tap out to cast another Overgrown Battlement. My hand size seems to have gotten off somehow. Perhaps I didn't lower it last turn...

I'll activate Blight Mamba's regeneration ability. Nothing further than that in combat for me, but I'll wait for confirmation from you before moving to my second main phase.

Yes. "Dies" is now rules shorthand for "is put into a graveyard from the battlefield." Tokens creatures go to the graveyard like normal ones, but once they change zones, they cease to exist as a state-based effect. Rot Wolf's ability only cares that a creature died, not that it stays in the...

Alright, I'll make Inkmoth Nexus a creature, then I'll attack with Inkmoth Nexus, Viridian Corrupter, Blight Mamba, and Rot Wolf.

UUD. Hm, hold on, let me make sure. Is the Germ token equipped with Bonehoard a 3/3 or a 2/2? I count two creatures in graveyards at this time (my Viridian Corrupter, your Stoneforge Mystic).

Fabricate 1 on Highspire Artisan. He chose to make a servo, or "creature" instead of "counter."

Well, I think people have had plenty of time to declare their actions, but I had meant to get to this already. I probably won't be home enough in the next couple of days to do a post for combat, but it'll be sometime this week. Sorry.

Assign combat damage to the Mystic. Second main phase, play Inkmoth Nexus, followed by Blight Mamba and Rot Wolf. Done. Spiderman: 20 Poison: 6 Hand: 3 Library: 47 Battlefield: (U,U,U,U,U) Plains x5 (U) Flayer Husk (Living Weapon; Equipped creature gets +1/+1; Equip 2) (U) Germ creature...

In some of the posts that I've already made, I've claimed that Survival of the Fittest didn't need to be banned in Legacy back in 2010. To summarize my basis for this contention... -In the wake of the ban on Mystical Tutor, pure combo decks took a hit and were also underplayed even despite...

Looking back at old tournament data for usage of Pandemonium hasn't really led me to anything else that impressive. After it was reprinted, Hypergenesis Cascade decks and Pattern Rector decks seemed to be the main niche for the enchantment. Pattern Rector doesn't really need Pandemonium, which...

Right? I totally forgot that it was in this deck. Wonder how long ago I bought it, as I imagine that it drives the price up a bit... UUD, swing with both Corrupters. Blocks/responses?

Mutagenic Growth on the Corrupter before damage. Second main phase, I'll tap out to cast Green Sun's Zenith for 3 and find another Viridian Corrupter, targeting Sword of Vengeance with its ability. Done. Spiderman: 20 Poison: 4 Hand: 4 Library: 48 Battlefield: (T,T,T,T) Plains x4 (U)...
