My suggestion for when anyone asks for a deck that plays a little different is Etali, Primal Storm . You can build it exile matters, play your opponent's deck matters, or chaos. It is pretty powerful on its own since there are a lot of ways to give Etali haste and such and even cheat her out. And th...

I always liked this card. I don't have a deck to play it in, but I have thought about making an Emmara, Soul of the Accord Vehicle deck and a couple of the untap cards seem like good fits. The issue with untap (other than the slightly confusing symbol for less experienced players) and Inspired were ...

a mechanic returns but now references a different creature type Amass probably. My first thought was Prowl. It fits in as a good Hobbit mechanic and all of the previous Prowl cards referenced Rogues (and I guess Goblins, a rogue faerie, and one random Sphinx who thinks that covering his face would ...

I found this article today about frequently misunderstood rules. It's a perfectly cromulent article until it makes the following claim: Rule of Law Effects Last The Turn Even After Destroyed It goes on to say: once the player has started the turn with a Rule of Law or similar effect in place, that ...

so, I've been looking at getting a replacement for my current bag that holds my decks and a couple of the guys in my group use a Stanley tool box,so i decided to look at the price on amazon and well https://i.imgur.com/Wy5ReJz.png Half of the top reviews for this thing on the Home Depot's website a...

Went to do a draft today and found out it was the store championship and that the reward was a promo Thalia and The Gitrog Monster . Excellent, it's one of the few cards I still need from MOM. Fought well, fought hard, got first...and it's a textless promo. JFC wizards, did we not learn anything fr...

Elesh Norn, Mirrodin's Savior 3ww Legendary Creature - Phyrexian Praetor Vigilance At the beginning of each opponent's upkeep, choose one - You and that player each draw a card. You and that player each Incubate 3. You and that player each gain 5 life. 3/5 Believing that all creatures brought their...

I will say I am thinking of giving Plargg and Nassari a go as the head of my Etali, Primal Storm deck for a little bit as a way to power it down and make the deck a bit more diplomatic. As much as I love my Etali, the deck has sort of gotten away from let's cause chaos to it's either an easy win or ...

You know what, this seems like one of those cards I should probably be running in my Henzie "Toolbox" Torre deck since I usually have a couple of fatties in the graveyard that I wouldn't mind getting back at instant speed.

I feel that seems like a desperate attempt to save a format nobody really wanted to played anymore. In between Kaladesh and now, we have had our fair share of formats that weren't great to put it lightly. Covid basically then gave people a reason to not play paper standard. I mean I guess it is a g...

If Fable of the Meta Breaker doesn't get banned in the next couple of weeks, I'm not playing Rakdos: The Format. You ban fable and invoke despair, then we'll talk about me playing Standard. Until then, enjoy the stalest meta since Oko. And yes, I know that it is "balanced." Yeah but its b...

So my LGS had their first ever Pioneer FNM tonight. It was also my first ever time playing Pioneer. It was fun, though funnily enough, the person who was pushing for Pioneer FNM wasn't even there due to having something come up. And while I do say it was fun, that was mostly because outside of one p...

Look, we all know the only prim and proper response to Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy is to grab a piece of paper, scribble Chalice of the Void for two on it, slam it on the table, and pray.

Thursday, April 27th,2023; Phyrexian Arena phyrexian arena|apc I remember the days when this was $10-$20. Now it's barely half a pack in value. Crazy. Arena is still such a good long term value play............... I remember playing Legacy where I had a monoblack deck that could Dark Ritual it out ...

Wednesday, April 26th, 2023; Repair and Recharge Repair and Recharge I was today years old when I realized Powerstones don't self-sac. I been reading them as powered down treasures all this time..... It's cool, unique, and potentially quite powerful. Yet, I have no idea what deck would want it. Art...

Kolaghan sucks. Fervor costs 3, doesn't die to wipes, and is garbage. I'm not paying 3 more and adding a color for a 6-power flyer in commander. There are way better haste enablers, like Anger and Purphoros, Bronze-Blooded . I would also like to add, unless you have dragon synergies, Garna, the Blo...

So one of the things I am planning on doing to test out the set is build a preconstructed deck for each color pair just to make sure each pair can make a competitive deck and to test out a few cards which I am uncertain of their balance. The basic guidelines for each deck are as follows: 40 - Cards ...

Everything I can find says this wording should work. Though you don't need any of the words after instead. It's a reasonable extension of current abilities and how similar effects have evolved, ie copies of permanent spells. However, this version might be too cheap. Copying abilities have been done...

[ccimg=63441][ccimg=67691][ccimg=69067][ccimg=19569] The set is complete (except for tokens). I will probably do a few more tweaks when I get around to it (especially on some of the arts), but as far as I am concerned I am done. And I feel exhausted. Would be interested in anyone's thoughts/review ...

I love me some good old Tendershoot Dryad. I have it in my Adrix and Nev, Twincasters deck where it does work, but the best home for it had to be Korvold, Fae-Cursed King, where if it survived a cycle I was probably winning the game.

Probably will be good in the new Slimefoot and Squee deck.

[ccimg=65874][ccimg=15714][ccimg=52502] Two of the main mechanics in the Breath of the Wild set I am creating are Ninjutsu and Beckon, both of which put creatures onto the battlefield. Ninjutsu [cost] (Return an unblocked attacker you control to hand: Put this card onto the battlefield from your ha...

I kid. But I know a few people like that and are devout acolytes to the mantra, "If it costs 4 or more mana, it better win you the game." I've heard that in Legacy/Modern or other eternal formats. Is that much power creep seeping into EDH too? I thought we were closer to 6-drops have to w...

Looks like a great curve topper in w . Curve topper? How low are you going in your decks now a days? If I am playing anything that costs mana, it better win me the game. Especially if it costs two or, bless my heart, three mana. I kid. But I know a few people like that and are devout acolytes to th...

I love Elder Brain . It is one of the most fun cards to Blitz out in my Henzie "Toolbox" Torre Blitz deck, right up there with Etali, Primal Storm . It also has some weird political angles as I've had people ask me to attack them with it as they need to draw a new hand for whatever reason.

I think I've had this avatar (in one form or another) for over 10 years now. The dog is from a manga called Dragon Eye (If you heard of it, I'm impressed). I don't know why I decided to use it (probably because I love the blank soulless eyes and derpy tongue). Then one day I decided to put hats on D...
