Tower of the Magistrate.

Like, not even a joke, I love that card.

I am still confused by this reaction to Pile you guys are having. Most games are the exact game for me—they throw a bunch of removal, a threat eventually sticks, they die a few turns later. It’s like...

I rarely if ever lose to either Czeck Pile or Esper/Bant Stoneblade decks. Jeskai Stoneblade has been the only one giving me troubles and only if they use the old lists from the Treasure Cruise era....

I am intrigued to learn more about your algorithm.

My experience with this article over multiple formats have been more helpful than not. As an example, my current Maverick list runs 14 white sources, 14 green sources, and 10 black sources. This...

For math context.

More honestly, I usually feel "forced"...

Not disagreeing with any of the comments available. I run 2 black sources because I am trying to minimize the amount of black cards I play in any given matchup. Just pointing out that there needs to...

On the question of "a 3rd black source" you need answer *why* you need the 3rd source?

My current list runs 8 fetchlands, 1 Bayou, 1 Scrubland, 1 Birds of Paradise, 4 Deathrite Shaman; which means...

Heck, even good keeps means you lose if you don't sequence properly. As is the fate of all non-Brainstorm decks. I got as far as the third turn before I turned off Ari's video. I didn't realize how...

I'd be interested in 2.3 and potentially 4.1

I agree with all of this--for the most part. I'm just saying that being Momless makes the matchup MUCH harder than you are making it out to be. But the concept is sound--if the main thing I can think...

How do you pay for all this? 1-2 removal spells and you're either saccing lands to protect your dudes, in which case wastelands immediately lock out your black sources, or you don't protect your...

90% of my hesitation comes from how fucked you'll be once you face an opposing Mom deck like the Mirror or D&T.

For full context; I like Leo, I just want to be careful with splashes. We have LOTS of 3drops that do awesome things in a wide range of matchups. Arguing to add a color requires for us to cross out...

That's the thing right? Turning off cantrips on turn 2 is super strong, turning off cantrips on 4-5 less so. Turning off cantrips is decent against some decks, while storm just says "whatever" and...

But that's just what I mean. For 4 mana we can Green Sun for a way to turn off cantrips, or we could search for Knight and end the game. Sometimes Leo will be the better choice--but will it be often...

Grats man!

I am curious how Safekeeper performs moving forward.

With so many Zenith targets at the 3cc slot it feels difficult to justify adding a 4th color for a mere value card.

I am fairly meh on the whole Leavold discussion.

Still waiting for a green Serra Avenger

On Pridemage: Exalted is more than just watchwolf; the reason Pridemage is often the only silver bullet in multiples in the maindeck for many lists comes from the fact that it has many uses outside...

Initial testing started with 1 because of space (I don't like running more than four 3drops normally), after testing I found I only really wanted him in the mid/late game where I'd actually be able...

Is there a reason you don't just run a 2nd Pridemage? What about Revoker?

It's been years since I played that version--but it's definitely a lot faster and a lot more brutish than Abzan Maverick. It's also where I started using Orim's Chant; fantastic card to use when you...
