Ha, this is what a friend and I came up with too. I have 4eak's Mono White Control deck built, and my friend was advising me to play it over any of the better (IE. has dual lands) decks that I have...
Let's pretend you have a metagame and the only two decks are RUG delver and Maverick.
What would you run?
In an effort to revive this thread--one of my favorite threads of all time--before it becomes too outdated. When they unbanned land tax, I was mulling what kind of deck land tax belonged in. I...
Yeah, none of my three local gaming stores even GOT their commander product, it was apparently bought out from under them at the distributors. I guess I've just got to be patient and trust that...
There's one JTMS at 49.95 buy it now (with shipping), and three at 52 BIN with shipping). Let's see where this goes, shall we?
I don't see it as a mechanic issue so much as a convenience thing. There are an awful lot of questionable cards in those blocks--dark ritual, brainstorm, fact or fiction, goblin ringleader and...
I thought that Aaron Forscythe's article outlining both why they're banning the dynamic duo and why it's taken them this long was very good. Certainly, it was much better than the one outlining the...
Hey guys. I played bant for the first time at a tournament yesterday, and I wanted to share my experiences with you all, so I can get some advice. I didn't win, but I thought I did fairly well and...
Just for the sake of argument, it's worth pointing out that this giant dude is a three turn clock where lightning angel is a SEVEN turn clock, including the turn she comes into play.
Flametongue Kavu is almost always going to be better. It's sad I know; I like the card too.
I'll tell you guys from experience that the high tide deck is RIDICULOUS. I played the deck for ten minutes and decided high tide needed to be banned in paper pauper. Otherwise a fun format.
One of the hazards of playing combo is that people HATE losing to combo a LOT and will sometimes oversideboard against us, just so they don't lose to combo. We had one guy at a card shop who played...
fog bank
Seriously

Once people realize how good tribal dinosaurs is, people are going to need Fog Bank to...
Not to argue with the rest of your post, because my last post was uh . . . bad, but depending on the goblins list, it's reasonably common to see swords to plowshares, krosan grip, lightning bolt or...
See, whenever I've used culling scales, the problem has been that your opponent stops playing permanents until culling scales kills itself. There's some odd synergy between elspeth and culling scales...
On the other hand, when this thread was started, I couldn't read BB's articles--or Smennedian's--but now I can. Nothing's changed much, but I appreciate having people who are in contact with Wizards...
While I can't say I ever really LIKED the pyroblast plan (Sitting there with an infernal tutor, two leds and a pyroblast, staring at an opponent with the I-have-a-force-smile on his face is...
Because they don't always have swords to plowshares. Sometimes they have smother, sometimes they have go for the throat, or snuff out and sometimes they have a tarmogoyf to block the wild nactl. ...
Tezzeret's Gamble reads:
3::p:
Sorcery
Draw two cards, and then proliferate.
I was REALLY hoping for a draw two for :2::p:, but we can't get everything we want. As it is I don't think this is...
This might be true . . . if Qasili Pridemage cost RR. Blood Moon is really good against a deck with >3 basics in it.
At least part of that is the nature of the deck. Most of the other storm decks (and I've only played Rev314, but I think this is applicable to other versions as well) run more cantrips...
Forgive my intrusion (I'm not a zoo player) but something's come up that I wanted to ask people that actually had experience playing Zoo.
Unless you've been living at the bottom of a lake for the...
I agree with the rest of the post, but not this. Instant speed destruction of two on the board permanents for five mana is completely worth it, always.
No, that happened at our local card shop. Only one guy had forces, and he used them pretty badly. Once someone had the idea to build belcher or some variant of Iggy-pop (this was a while ago), he...
Good Luck!
