    Re: [SCD] Laboratory Maniac

    I think the idea is that you eat a few Narcomoebas with Cabal Therapy to clear the way. Bridge from Below replaces the tokens. Since you're using Azami and Lab Maniac and both are Wizzzzards, you can...
  2. Re: How will I know when I'm ready to play in a PTQ?

    Audible to a deck you're less familiar with, but still know your 75. This is simple. It's knowing whether you've got any more green shocklands to fetch with a Verdant Catacombs. I'm all for the awful...
  3. Re: How will I know when I'm ready to play in a PTQ?

    I'd say you're ready when:

    -You know your 75-card deck and can write it down without looking at it

    -You know the most common decks you'll face and how you will beat them

    -You've got...

    Re: [Article] What’s going on with Aluren?

    What really boggled me about the Godbook leak was that nobody who had access to it really speculated a lot. The one off the top of my head was definitely Stoneforge Mystic, which went full-on stupid....

    Agreed. It makes me all the more curious who knew about it and when.

    Re: [Article] What’s going on with Aluren?

    Could you elaborate on this? Do you mean that BUG Agent decks are containing things? Or do you mean Aluren decks with Agent and Decay are an Actual Thing?

    Re: [Article] What’s going on with Aluren?

    Aluren gives flash to dudes, too. I only remembered it upon looking it up. Presumably, you let them activate Grizz once, then when they pass priority, you play out your Recruiter. They have to pay 7...

    Re: Gatecrash Spoilers

    Gideon is fine. He's not a Planeswalker, he's just a Super-Hexproof monster and has a corner-case ability that will win the game. For Standard, a 2WW Indestructible monster that's gonna be at least...

    The art of Treasury Thrull follows a proud and unintentional tradition starting with Ekundu Cyclops and most recently, Armada Wurm. Pretty blatant this time.

    Re: Gatecrash Spoilers

    Good point; I could even foresee something that was nearly a straight-up Curiosity - U, draw a card, Cipher. Probably would not be any better than Curiosity as it is, which isn't great these days.

    Re: Gatecrash Spoilers

    It's pretty unfortunate that Cipher includes "encoding" in its rules text. I'd like it a lot better if it were cleanly called "Encode" instead.

    That aside, I like that they decided to make the UB...

    Re: [Article] What’s going on with Aluren?

    That's the weird thing - he's buylisting on other sites at $6.25 and the general consensus is that $6 is too cheap. People are wondering whether it's an end-of-year taxes thing or something else....

    A creature with Recruiter's abilities would be a natural fit in Green. It'd be like a Trinket Mage in that color. I know that R&D wants to cut down on searching effects in Standard, but we did just...

    If I had the bills to sink into getting a bunch of copies... Intuition would be my spec target on the Reserved List. Darn, that card is good, gets better all the time, and is the right colors.

    You are going to need high-res scans of these things anyway, so get that done first.

    Once you have them, contact the major online stores. Ask if you can send pics to the head buyer and get a bid....

    This GP taught me that Deathrite Shaman is very, very good. Enough to qualify as "kill condition" in shockland-happy Modern. Depending on my decks, I'm putting either Deathmark or Sunlance on my...

    Re: Should Black Vise be Unbanned?

    Black Vise would give Stasis decks a cheap and efficient way to win. I don't know that we want to promote any of this Stasis business.

    Ah, you are so right. I concede the point.

    For the record, I don't think unbanning anything is going to make the format more interesting for people who don't already play it. I don't see people...

    I find Kibler's reasoning on GSZ to suffer from the classic flaw of thinking that the best decks won't play new unbanned cards. If GSZ were legal, then Jund would slot four copies in pretty darned...

    Re: Green's version(s) of Show and Tell's?

    I would love to see Quicksilver Amulet pop up in SnT deck sideboards. It takes a lot more mana but with Emrakul, it's like you have a Vial with 15 counters on it!

    I've almost made up my mind that purely "reactive" cards can never be broken. By reactive, I mean that they counter or pre-empt a plan an opponent has - they don't further your strategy or gain you...
