People do still run Return to Dust for that sweet 2for1

I'm a fan of Crush Contraband myself, though it's not quite the same.

How's this hold up these days? Yeah like Ephemerate exists for less colour req but it needs to have two targets. At least this just chills in the yard waiting right?

But commander...seriously, commander players are the biggest, most entitled whiners. You don't need dual lands. Fixing is so insanely good these days. ABUR duals are completely unnecessary. Dual lands are a 0.1% improvement to the power of your deck. You didn't lose because you don't have ABUR dual...

How updated is this through the most recent sets? I want to run this through MPC and stick the it in my collection. Such a randomly specific card that's hilariously relevant.

Tell me you have an emblem without saying you have an emblem.

Is this actually good? Or just midrange trash?

Does anyone still grab Eldrazi Conscription with this?

I read this as the partners mechanic and was about to talk about something with Vial Smasher. I'm glad I'm terribly mistaken lmfao.

I've seen a few Wort, the Raidmother decks over the years. I think she's a cool card - Gruul is usually pretty creature-focused, and Wort is one of the few spellslinger payoffs in that color pair. Copying Rampant Growth s and other ramp spells, and eventually copying a Comet Storm to win is pretty ...

Ban it

This. I'm of the camp to "ban nonland permanents that generate more mana than their mv in a trivial way".

That goofy art made me laugh extra hard with it being in a foreign language. But I didn't go with it because, well, not a lo...

I saw someone use Map the Frontier to fetch Arid Archway yesterday and was inspired to start this thread. I feel like conventional wisdom is to focus on untapped lands and lots of fixing when building a manabase, but we have received some interesting land types over the years that allow for more in...

This is always good for discussion...let's see if the landscape has changed any.

Colorless: Coldsteel Heart, Arcum's Astrolabe, Replicating Ring You seem to have missed the most common Snow-support artifact - Extraplanar Lens . . . You don't need to play Lens anymore. I know that "it costs 3 " but realistically no, it doesn't. You really have to play it as a 4 so you ...

Hmm. That's probably important. Anything that can rez straight to the battlefield with no mv req is playable I think, especially if it's repeatable.

Snow tends to thrive most in 3c decks as 1-2c will end up with too many basics sacrificing your utility options (typically Sultai - mystical teachings, into the north, dead of winter but there's a case to eschew B and add W for Bant to use Search for Glory ). What I was thinking here. B and W are t...

I definitely have a desert package in Torbran, even picked up an ARN version of the original. Happy to see a desert typed Guildless Commons . When you talk about snow, you gotta name Arcum's Astrolabe . In snow it's virtually free fixing, and it's an artifact so it can pitch to your other artifact s...

I don't typically like four mv dorks. but when they can net 3+ mana with regularity, I think they're worth a second look. Particularly so if they interact favourable with, say, Umbral Mantle ...

I'm often tempted to build a deck with her as the general but I already have 3 5c decks I love. Also, Slivers are super boring to pilot and I don't want to build her as just a combo piece. So I'm kinda left in this vague uninspired area. But she cool. >:( Who says you need 5c slivers? I've fallen b...
