Brain Freeze is by far the better win condition because you don't *need* to generate absurd amounts of mana to kill and because you can tutor for it with any of your 6-7 tutor effects. Also Brain...

As a High Tide player I can assure you that Canonist is way more annoying than a sphere effect. I can't go off with Canonist on the board while I can combo through 1 or 2 sphere effects all day long,...

Neat article, covers the basics of the art of mulliganing.

As for the last hand, you wanted to hear opinions. I'd keep this hand if I'm on Canadian Threshold (seems like a legit assumption)...

You might want to combo that with Ninja of the Deep Hours.

NinjaFish is back in town... YEAH!

After I had some Modern test games, I'd say Vintage. Aside from Legacy and EDH, it's the only format that still feels Magic-y.

That and I just love how every second game of Vintage has its...

While I do agree that Misstep hasn't broken the format in half, I feel the design could have been better. See, a lot of powerful cards from the more recent history that impacted Legacy (think Jace2,...

So because most people are unable to pilot whatever deck at a reasonable percentage of the deck's potential, it can't be viable?
I guess this is why Show and Tell based strategies and Merfolk have...

I was there too, NO RUG, Stoneblade and Hive Mind were all over the place. I faced Manaless Dredge too, but it's not that good over here because everyone dedicates at least 3 or 4 slots in his...

When I have an opener with both effects on it, I use the targeted discard to make sure my Hymn hits or is as devastating as I want it to be. If my opponent is holding Sensei's Divining Top or any...

Fixed that for you.

(Background: drawing more cards gets better the better the stuff that you can draw into. That's why Jace is bananas in Vintage.)

Over here in germany, there is a big wave of GW Maverick style decks. Those decks run up to 3 copies of Mindcensor maindeck because SFM-based decks have a big impact on our metagame and almost every...

Even though I was already diversifying my hate packages (mostly in sideboards) for obvious reasons, I found this article to be informative and well-written. Was a nice read. Keep up the good work!

In most combo decks, you want to gather very specific cards or cards of a certain subset. Like, when running ANT, you want to somehow put mana sources worth 5-7 mana and a business spell together....

I've finally been able to play the 4c list I posted, and let me tell you, I was horribly wrong. Beast Within sucks if you don't have Shackles active or Firespout at hand. You basically have to board...

Yeah, could care less about the Standard stuff.

The Legacy deck seems awesome though... thought-out really well and I'll probably give it a spin.

While it's not Legacy, this may be of some enjoyment to you, my Nicol Bolas EDH deck. About 2/3 of it is somehow pimp: foil, European Limited stuff, gold border cards (which I consider to be somehow...

That's why I considered it in the first place. It also gets hit by Firespout while we're at it.

Plus, if you have a redundant SDT, you can tap it EOT to draw a card, then Beast Within it to...

Hai Guys!

So, with NPH waiting at the gates to be released, I've been thinking about some cards to be included in Superfriends. As some of you may remember, I've been running a UWb list for some...

As someone who has played his fair share of Necropotence in EDH and Vintage, I see no single way it can ever come off the B/R list.

It works like this:
1. resolve Necro Turn 1
2. set aside any...

Having 2 Etherium Sculptors makes him essentially free, yes.

But then you're forced to run both Etherium Sculptor and Myr Superion, so that's still meh...

Likely yes. But it would also give Combo more edge. If Drains were unbanned, I know what I'd play day in, day out: Repeal Drain Tendrils.

You better tell that to all those guys whose faces I have been smashing with their own 5/5s, 4/5s, 7/7s, etc. Maybe that can undo the curbstomping that has been done to them.

Seriously, this deck...

I generally agree on Treefolk Masters experience with the Junk/Rock/GWBGoodstuff matchup. Discard is the main issue here, but if you can get down a top, the damage done with Hymns and whatnot is...

I ran them in the sideboard for a while, but ultimately, they were only really good in the mirror and against Enchantress. I switched to more general hate cards now.

Just wanted to drop some props to Hanni. Great Primer!

For reference, as there's no list for it up to now, the UWb variant I've been playing for some time now:
