Spidey's polka obsession aside, I think it'll be fun to test this myself and it will give me an excuse to put off getting back to the Games Run board for a few minutes. Now, I am a couple years younger than most of the other regulars here, but I don't think it should matter too much either way...

Here's yet another wacky creation for the West Coast Commander League. Having at least nine elk and/or caribou over the course of the game wasn't worth enough points for how hard it is to pull off. But Caribou Range got me there. It's totally a legitimate Magic card. My favorite play of the...

Deck Name: The Epic Storm Version 8.5 Magic Format: Legacy Insight: This has proven to be my favorite competitive decklist for any tournament format in a long, long time. I've been avidly following Storm decks for the Legacy format ever since Legacy was first announced in 2004, and this is the...

Continuing this December silliness in the West Coast Commander League, I built a deck to best ensure that I'd have snow permanents, that I'd have cards with family relations in their names, that I'd tap Sensei's Divining Top and/or Candelabra of Tawnos, and that I'd trade cards with my...

It turns out that Thornbite Staff is a good Magic card. After four weeks in a row of playing Legends legends, I decided to change it up and do a combo deck. Well, what really happened was that the weekly rotator in the West Coast Commander League's point system was to activate abilities of...

EOT use Witch's Oven on my Zombie Army. I get a Food, I draw a card, Korvold gets a +1/+1 counter, I gain a life, and you each take 1 damage. UUD, Forest, Thorn Mammoth. Responses?

I'll scry a card to the bottom off the Fiend dying. UUD, attack with both of my creatures. Blocks/responses?

Yeah, it's a bit of a mess. There's now a rule in Commander making it so that effects grabbing cards from outside of the game just do nothing in the format. :confused:

Simultaneous Mulligan I almost forgot about this one, but I do remember the difference. It mostly affects tournament players and isn't as important in casual games, so I tend not to think about it as much. I'm on-board with this change. It was an improvement. Good call. Battlefield I was...

Thanks. I think I generally agree with you on the stack, except I think that, at least partially, I understand why they did what they did, even if I didn't like it. Mark Rosewater and Aaron Forsythe both elaborated on how the Magic 2010 Rules Changes were an attempt to make the game more...

I'm already working on my deck for the next West Coast Commander League meetup, so I'm ahead of schedule on that compared to my usual these days of "Don't start until the night before." But I've fallen behind on reporting my decks as they're played. So here's my deck from the 1st. But it's weird...

I don't do booster drafts often, but Plummet has been reprinted a billion times and has shown up in almost every draft pool whenever I've drafted a green deck. It has the obnoxious habit of never being the right card when I do maindeck it and always being the right card when I don't. Seriously...

Ty touches the torch to the image of the bucket. Ty gains a Potion of Curing: Eliminates one disabling effect (loss of a Characteristic from poison, loss of movement from petrification, etc.). Worth 200 gold. All of the glyphs light up at once. The light fades. There is an audible churning...

Dorgath remains vigilant, but the process works again without any problems. Tomas touches the torch to the board. Tomas gains a Firestorm Scroll. The lights form the image, once more, of a bucket.

Plummet the Fiend.

Kelgar repeats the process, with seemingly successful results. Kelgar gains an Incense of Healing: Heals every Warrior on the board section for 2D6 Wounds, after which it is expended. Worth 200 gold. The image on the board is now a pair of robust-looking curved swords. Familiar swords...

Scry a card to the bottom, done. Spidey: 18 Hand: 2 Library: 45 Battlefield: (T,T) Swamp x2 (T,T) Island x2 (T) Forest (S) Necropolis Fiend (4/5; Delve; Flying; X, T, Exile X cards from my graveyard: Target creature gets -X/-X ueot) Graveyard: Sultai Skullkeeper, Herald of Torment, Dead...

If the previous posts here seem overly somber, it's best to keep in mind that the evolution of the game had little to do with Mogg Fanatic specifically. All changes come with casualties. The fall of Mogg Fanatic was probably inevitable. And like I said, the card had a good run. Plenty of other...

Throg advances the plot. Throg gets... Healing Balm: Fully restores all Wounds. Worth 200 gold. The board goes back to displaying an image of a bent grate.

UUD, Swamp, attack with Reaper of the Wilds. Blocks/responses?
