Hi folks, I've heard a lot of good things about the Mentor SB plan. For those of you who run it, have you found it effective against players who know about it and SB accordingly? I can imagine Mentor...

Speculation for Army + double Cabal Therapy seems really solid.

Often conventional Reanimator finds itself in positions where it can't convert a win despite getting Griselbrand in play and drawing a bunch of cards. Having a deterministic kill in your deck gives...

WGD actually has a lot more inevitability than Griselbrand and Iona do. If you are able to get through their disruption WGD is a guaranteed kill, whereas the game will eventually progress to a point...

I'm assuming you might have cards like Pyroblast or Echoing Truth in your board anyway, and randomly having access to them could be helpful.

Soul Spike is better than Misery Charm. Sapphire Charm...

Deep Analysis is good and has applications outside the combo (turning a spare Entomb into DA is really nice), but it doesn't work if you're going off at instant speed with Necromancy.

Honestly,...

Repeating what I said in the SCG comments: thoughts on a Firestorm in the Wishboard? It's good against boards with multiple hatebears, buys you a ton of time against Elves/D&T (and sometimes against...

Building off a discussion in the OmniTell thread, I want to see if Griselbrand can fit into the Show and Tell/Dream Halls shell that has been doing decently well. The obvious advantage of Griselbrand...

It's not a 'plan' to Gifts for cantrips, but when your hand is under attack and you can't assemble a 3-card combo, you'd rather have a card you can actually cast than a card that costs 12 mana.

Choosing to be on the draw is fancy play syndrome at its worst. One of the deck's biggest weaknesses is being relatively slow when it comes to combo decks, and it's hard enough getting Dream Halls to...

UWB seems like the natural combination - Stoneforge Mystic is the ideal card to pair with TNN and you have Thoughtseize to strip away any narrow answers the opponent might have.

Because none of those proposed cards would or should ever be printed?



'Sold us out'? Really!? What obligation do you think they have to you? They're the creators of a game you claim to enjoy;...

Gemstone Mine is almost strictly superior to City of Brass as a Wish target here, no? Geothermal Crevice might be better than Woodlot/Bog too.

After wondering about the possibility of Reforge the Soul in conjunction with Brainstorm etc. as a SB plan against discard-heavy decks with Storm, I began thinking about how far the idea could be...

As you can probably tell from the Steam Vents, the manabase wasn't ideal :P. I had one game that was much harder than it should have been due to Rainforest not fetching Badlands, and I couldn't try...

After milling around on Saturday I considered heading home on Sunday morning as I was feeling rough and didn't want to wait until the afternoon to play a format I didn't enjoy. Thankfully one friend...

Hey guys, got 9th at the Legacy side-event at GP London yesterday. I hadn't played Legacy Storm (or much Legacy at all) before and I was ill so I muddled my way through the tournament, but I had a...

The Emrakul plan lets you play around certain forms of graveyard hate, either by winning through it or by allowing you to recur Narcomoebas to stall until you find an answer.

My first reaction to Nivmagus is that it could fit into the UB Death's Shadow deck that GerryT has been praising for a while. Both it and Shadow work well with life-loss spells (Probe/Gut...

The first two hands seem like very easy keeps (hand #2 in particular) and I'd mulligan the third.

A dedicated Black Tide deck probably doesn't have the tools to be competitive. If you want to go down this route, what about a UB shell with lots of USeas + Watery Graves to fuel both High Tide and...

I hate Delver of Secrets. Every stupid little thing about it pisses me off to no end: the entirely undramatic suspense as the opponent looks at the top card to see if it's an instant/sorcery, the...

Skill Borrower's one of those cards that I always keep in the back of my mind when looking at the spoiler for a new set, but somehow I forgot about it when AVR was released. People have tried almost...

Apologies if posting this here is inappropriate, but an excellent trolling opportunity just arose:
