With the use of Necropotence to set up combos fresh in deckbuilders' minds on account of Cocoa Pebble and with the obvious interaction between Donate and Illusions of Grandeur, the notion of combining them probably arose in lots of places independently, but the establishment of "Trix" as a...

Well, in addition to Goblin Settler, I suppose that I can check another one off the list. I just played Pack Rat in one of the forum games against Spidey. In that game, it wound up being a 1/1 creature the whole time, but that's beside the point!

Yeah, that was brutal. I figured you were in a bad spot once you used Banisher Priest on Marauder, but I thought maybe you'd get the means to protect the Priest and catch up.

No response.

Proceed to combat damage?

UUD, attack with everything but the Pack Rat. Blocks/responses?

Mark Rosewater has an anecdote about how one of the ProsBloom pioneers (maybe Mike Long, but I forget) directly insisted that R&D must have deliberately built the combo deck when they were designing Mirage/Visions. The way that completely different cards seemed to provide all of the right...

Even before the announcement, this Twitter stuff was getting some attention... https://twitter.com/mtgaaron/status/985674571188588544 I find this frustrating for a few reasons... "Pillar of the format" was slang from the website TheManaDrain used to categorize competitive decks based on the...

No changes to any format (of course).

OK, I've probably put off talking about "Trix" for long enough. I've been mulling this over, and while I can cover the important details historically, I am really not sure how to interpret this or state what it means for Necropotence. I guess I'll just have to start at the beginning and go...

You've got me: Lich's Mastery is one of the cards I'm most excited for in Dominaria. As with most of the rest of the set, I wish it had 2 mana clipped from its cost (it would not be broken at 1BBB and would stand a better chance at seeing popular gameplay than the original Lich), but that's how...

I'll have Marauder give my whole team Haste and Intimidate. Swing with everything for 7 damage. Responses?

Doom Blade on Banisher Priest.

Better him than me!

Ah yes, and my spells need to be in my graveyard, of course. Nicol Bolas, God Emperor of Dune: 42 Command Zone: Bow to My Command (Melkor's creatures can't attack me or my planeswalkers. At the beginning of my opponents' end step, they may tap any number of untapped creatures they control with...

To everyone's surprise, twelve gigantic spiders swarm through the canopy to attack you!

Done. Nicol Bolas, God Emperor of Dune: 42 Command Zone: Bow to My Command (Melkor's creatures can't attack me or my planeswalkers. At the beginning of my opponents' end step, they may tap any number of untapped creatures they control with total power 8 or greater. If they do, abandon this...
