    Pretty common for shop lists, the one-time burst of mana isn't as important as recurring mana sources in a lot of cases, because you need to have enough mana to operate under your sphere effects, so...

    Re: [SCD] Bequeathal

    There are three huge differences between this and Skullclamp that make it a LOT worse.
    First, it is missing the +1/-1, so you can't murder your own little guys to draw a card.
    Second, Skullclamp...
  4. Re: Is dual lands' scarcity the real monster in the wardrobe? or The Reserved List, a

    The shock lands essentially are just dual lands with a slight drawback. They have already made duals with a small drawback, and budget legacy players and casuals already use them, but it hasn't...

    Assuming the cliques are in good condition then it seems like a fine trade. The pair of bayous would be worth more than the cliques if they were in perfect condition, but they're slightly damaged...

    Re: Help me pick a Combo deck

    Personally, I'd go for high tide, I've been toying around with a Resets, meditates, mono-instant high tide deck, it's one of the few combo decks I've really enjoyed playing.

    the better choice is...

    If they do that, they might as well allow proxies. It's basically the same thing.

    Re: Playing a single deck or keeping up with tech?

    I think whichever suits you more is fine, really.

    For me personally, I get bored of the same deck after a while, and switch. I usually I have 2-3 decks I've got prepared so I can switch between...

    Re: Deck recommendation

    Most of the Drain decks run at least 1 (usually more) Jace, so it's pretty safe to assume you should add him.

    Re: Sideboard slots now

    Depends on the deck, but I like to have at least 3 (usually 4 or 5) slots for storm hate in the board, so flusterstorm, assuming no other information.

    Sticky: Poll: Re: All B/R update speculation.

    Blightsteel is the "go to" bot in vintage Tinker-bot decks, since it's a one-hit kill. In legacy, with swords being a real thing, inkwell leviathan is probably better against an unknown deck, since...
  16. Re: Is dual lands' scarcity the real monster in the wardrobe? or The Reserved List, a

    I know old extended was a better format, I was thinking more in the terms of how much of magic's history is covered by the format - extended was around 7 years, modern is about 10 years right now? so...

    Snapcaster hasn't been the "Focus" of decks doing well, but most Blue control/midrange/tempo decks have them to get extra value out of their spells, the only exception I can think of being Merfolk,...

    Oh. I guess that makes sense.
    Playing a casual deck at an event is fine, sometimes it's fun to fight real decks with my bad Stasis deck, but I know the real decks are better, lol.

  19. Re: Is dual lands' scarcity the real monster in the wardrobe? or The Reserved List, a

    That is a very odd statement to me. what does that mean they want to play legacy, but not against legacy decks? How does that even work?

    Ban Bob? Wow, that's just... sad..
    Anyway, Modern has a different target audience than legacy. Modern is essentially just replacing old extended - it's a format that covers a larger chunk of magic's...
  21. Re: Is dual lands' scarcity the real monster in the wardrobe? or The Reserved List, a

    No. Legacy is, if anything, gaining popularity. The dual lands not being able to be reprinted sucks, but all 10 fetches are fair game, and I do expect the original (ally-colour) fetches to be...

    Survival WAS fine, the problem really is that it's a card that limits what can be done - vengevine is an interesting card, and recursive, hard-to-kill threats attract certain types of players. As...

    It really depends on the deck and the meta game which swords is best. In my Stasis deck I use Feast and Famine because I need the untap so I can keep playing spells under stasis.
