A new card type? I’m interested.

The rate of new releases has indeed led to a lot of bloat. I’ve given up on staying current, and on any format that includes new printings. I just make custom...

PM’d!
As for cross-synergies... well, the second set is still pretty incomplete, and it takes two sets to have a cross-synergy... but I’m certainly aiming for a bit of that!

Hearthstone...

It’s more of a retro futuristic theme, with a large chunk of the art coming from 80s sci-fi book covers by Chris Foss.

Ultimate Budget Tournament Format:
TWENTY PERCENT

A deck is 75 cards. No more, no less, no sideboards.

Legal cards: Up to 4 copies of anything legal in Vintage.

When you walk into the...

I used to keep up with various formats. With the rate of new releases, I find that any format that uses new cards doesn’t do it for me because I can’t keep track of the cards. I consider myself...

I think that card with all the dryads is the time I've seen a proofreading fail on an actual card (missing period in flavor text). They've always been good at avoiding those. Maybe they'll fix it...

I totally thought Urza’s Saga was an artifact while I was typing that.

Soul Diviner has also been around for a while and gives cards instead of Plains, but the new card starts with a counter.

BoP’s score for round “I didn’t read Thassa’s Oracle”:

If your playgroup complains about oppressive Constructed decks/strategies but also doesn’t want to follow a ban list, have you tried just drafting? You can just shuffle up all the cards in someone’s...

Yes, the map needs more explanation.

Lesser Instant Spells are instants with mana value 3 or less.
Province of Naught is all spells with mana cost exactly {0}.

Pact of the Titan + Angel’s...

Hi FTW! Great, I’ll PM you as well as posting here if/when the game is ready to start. Two signups so far.

You’re right, it would be suboptimal if players dropped out mid-game.

The game just...

Every single one of your lands produces W mana. How often are you relying on Birds of Paradise for W mana? It goes against my finer feelings to say this, but if you don’t need Birds of Paradise for...

That’s awesome, FourDogs.
Speaking of forcing painlands to tap, when we were pre-Wastes and a target deck had Lava Tubes and City of Brass for mana, I almost submitted a deck with Branded Brawlers...

To win a 4CB season while swimming with you savvy sharks is something I can be very proud of! I enjoyed discovering Backbuild with all of you. Thank you, dte, for organizing.

See you in the...

Me: OK brain, this time, we need to build decks that can win.

Brain: Door to Nothingness

Me: No, like, they have to be good at winning. Winning without losing.

Brain: Something with...

Jfb1337, how does that deck with Icatian Moneychanger, Myojin of Seeing Winds, Forbidden Orchard, and Calciform Pools... win? OH Wow I figured it out in real time while typing. Geez. You save a...

[snip silkster’s secret tech]
That is a fun read, Silkster. It’s amazing how many clever ideas other players are having that one never learns about. Still, you and I had a bit of overlap: We were...

It appears that APNAP favors me.

Silkster, I was literally in the middle of PMing “our” deck to dte with Kobolds of Kher Keep, and typing out my explanation of how I beat the target, when I saw that Biorhythm line. I feel you!
...

Silkster, are you targeting the Biorhythm deck? How do you win if you deploy Reactor and then they go Biorhythm on their own turn? You go to 1 life, then it becomes your turn, and doesn’t Mana Vault...

Welcome Larson!

That’s fair. Still, I think it looks a bit more complicated than it really is. To boil it down, playing a Summer turn looks like this (PM sent to me):



An example turn in Spring/Autumn might...
