I cast cryptic command choosing to bounce a creature and draw a card, the target of the bounce is precursor golem. Precursor Golem copies the spell two times, each of which must bounce a golem. But,...

Replace Ethersworn Adjudicator with something like Lodestone Golem and I could be seriously interested in that deck. Nothing like giant robot beatdown.

Hello Seattle Players!

I just recently got a new job in Seattle and will be moving somewhere in the Ballard/Fremont/U-District neighborhoods mid-July. What kind of brick-and-mortars are out there...

The reserved list that protects your Tabernacle, Candelabra, and Moat also prevents dual-lands from being widely available and affordable for new players. If you're playing a deck without dual-lands,...

I agree completely. It just seems to me that a lot of people had written off all the landstill variants as a tier-2 strategy. 2 top-16 finishes in a high-profile event might push it back into the...

I just don't believe the opportunity cost is worth it.

Mainphasing a SFM into the skull and then cheating the skull into play at the end of your opponent's next turn just doesn't seem like an...

Top 16 Summary:
4 Merfolk
3 GSZ Decks (Bant, Zoo, GW)
2 Landstill
2 Sneak and Show
1 Team America
1 NO Show
1 Reanimator
1 High Tide
1 Dredge

Cards in hand in is not the only measure of "Card Advantage." By using your own criteria:
1. Count cards in hand
2. Play Wrath of God
3. Count cards in hand.
Oh My God! Wrath of God is card...

Context would help. And, there's always: http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?page=0&action=advanced&text=+%5Bland%5D+%5Bgraveyard%5D

The only decent card not mentioned in this...

I'm of the opinion that most of this is pretty bogus. I have a hard time believing that a Shahrazad type effect could make its way into the most prominent tournament formats. If it ends up being...

Lodestone Bauble

It's not just for Welder Tricks though. It's an instant speed Demonic Tutor for anything that you have at least 3 of in your deck. It has a ton of raw power. Goblin Welder is just gravy.

Instead of Thirst for Knowledge, why not play Intuition?

Intuition may not be "pure" card advantage, but always gets the card you need to either your graveyard or hand at instant speed. Turn 1:...

For Merfolk: Stifle

Stifle + Wasteland package wrecks his mana. All of his color requirements are pretty heavy and you can keep him off the BB needed for Hymn. Stifle also has the bonus of messing...

Red needs more control/combo cards in legacy, especially things that make Goblin Welder (one of my favorite cards ever) more powerful.

Blue:
Brainstorm
Force of Will
Counterbalance
(Intuition)

Black:
Dark Confidant
Dark Ritual
Tombstalker

I'm gonna take Goblins on this one.

Goblins has:
1. Mana Disruption - Port and Waste together in one convenient mono-colored shell wreaks havoc on manabases that are trying to be cute (Zoo)....

Any deck that contains 4 of Necropotence (or >1 Tolarian Academy). The other 56 cards are largely meaningless when you get to draw 7 a turn.

I didn't even combo win with Necro. I put an asshole...

Excellent write-up and analysis on an archetype I really enjoy. Intuition + Loam is one of my favorite combinations in Magic. I have been thinking about lists like this one a lot in the wake of...

While the infect guy won't see play, Mirran is a straight up baller in a Death and Taxes shell. There's a lot of relevant creatures that just can't block him. Adding any equipment at all makes him...

I don't like the reliance on Innocent Blood over Swords or Path, but the sheer card advantage pushes this list over the top in an aggro metagame.

If your metagame is all combo and control this is...

I definitely need to try that list out. There may not be a better list for an aggro metagame. I also like the ability to have access to Red Elemental Blast out of the sideboard when switching to an...

Haakon, Stromgald Scourge anyone?

Vindicate, Smallpox, Sinkhole FTW!

That's exactly where this development is heading though. Wizards is finally finding a way to justify reprinting cards that would warp standard and extended by their presence. This brings eternal back...

I've played against numerous Landstill decks that do.
