I think you pretty much nailed it on the head saying that it was hard to interact with in a low powered environment. I wonder if any of the bottom tiered walkers would be fine in low powered. Tibalt needs a home! Also, I did misspeak when I said Silumgar was broken. It was just a bit...

The games skewed too much to dealing with the PW's instead of just normal gameplay. The only way that they didn't take over the game was because another broken card in Dragonlord Silumgar. If it was just an enchantment that gained incremental advantage like Starfield of Nyx, then even though it...

So this time I decided to go the control route: The draft this time seemed easier for me as I just stuck with the blue control package and swung to either red or black depending on what the packs showed. I managed to go 4-0 feeling in control against Chris pretty much every game. Nothing...

So Chris let me have a go at this new beast and while I started going down a WU Meddling Mage tempo deck, I noticed that he was picking way too much removal for a deck with a lot of 2-drops to overcome, so I diverted and picked up some more lategame/recurring threats and ended up with this...

This is a card that really caught my eye: Injury is just lunge, a card that most people don't even know exist. While it is just a bonus to the card, most people will think of the cards as a whole as 4RR deal 4 damage to a creature and 4 damage to a creature. A fine limited card to be sure...

I got to do a draft as well. Opened a Marsh Flats, first pack which was cool, then I just proritised fixing like I usually do, and ended up with this pile: Twos 2 Augur of Bolas 2 Agony Warp 2 Ground Assault 1 Magma Jet 1 Izzet Charm 1 Momentary Blink 1 Azorius Signet 1 Gruul Signet Threes 2...

I wanted to contribute to the: But I have a feeling that these are pet cards that people don't understand and are niche build arounds that I have left in just for me: Rally the Ancestors Laboratory Maniac Abyssal Persecutor Zealous Conscripts Collected Company Sidisi, Brood Tyrant Mesmeric...

Now Jason can whiff in Pauper as well! This seems pretty good in UB control decks. I wonder if it can strengthen UR enough is the question though. I'm not too sure how I feel about this set at this point. It seems like they have spent a lot of their reprint equity on this set though and...

Due to overwhelming demand (2 people) I did the top 10 most liked posts for the previous years. Most Liked Posts of 2014 8 Likes: 10. Anotak - Even MaRo Agrees 9. Grillo_Parlante - Analysis of a Morph Heavy Format 8. Grillo_Parlante - Hypnotic Specter and Winter Orb 7. Jason Waddell - Legacy...

It's nice to know that they are useful to people, which is the while idea as to why I decided to make these posts in the first place. In regards to doing the most liked posts of 2014 and 2013, I sort of alluded to it in the 2015 thread: I can do a top 10 for each of those years if you would...

FNM Release Draft So, as per tradition with our LGS we do a triple pack draft of the new set when it is realeased to help people get more of the new cards. It is always weird doing a draft like this with a small set as there are so many multiples flying around (I remember triple Dragon's Maze...

Still don't think it is worth putting up a new thread for limited decks for this set, so this seems like the most appropriate place to post my prerelease deck. So after opening no real sweet rares (double Madcap Experiment in the same pack was cool :\) and the couple of rares that were good...

Had this sitting on the bark burner for a while, but I voted for the Twisted Colour Pie Cube because of Mesmeric Orb, and I got to draft it in a couple of my drafts and had a great time. Here are two games where I got to play with the card. I don't have any examples of where I lost with the...

Thanks for the great feedback so far (sorry about being so Reddit minded Chris :p), but last year I remember Jason saying how he prefers quantity over quality, so I wondered who was the most frequent forum goer last year. So after scraping the 16,047 posts from last year, here is how many...

Hello fellow Lab Maniacs! Since the reception to this post last year was so great I decided to do it again, since I had all the code and whatnot already set up. I was going to do all the posts that had 10+ likes, but there are 21 posts with 10 likes, and considering there are only 35 more...

Phyrexian Dreadnought

Did you know you can even shaft combos in this archetype? Ones 1 Bloodsoaked Champion 1 Bloodsoaked Champion 1 Champion of the Parish 1 Emerge Unscathed 1 Kytheon, Hero of Akros 1 Mardu Woe-Reaper Twos 1 Ainok Bond-Kin 1 Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit 1 Bloodghast 1 Chainer's Edict 1 Dark...

Because I needed to rep my favourite forum at work somehow...

While this does seem like a good idea, I feel like it opens up the window a little too much. You could probably just then search the internet for some good casual decks, slap your name on them and call it an entry. The fact there is a specific pool of cards (and even some wiggle room with the...

I think this is just a side effect of the penny pincher-ness. It seems in this low powered world you want your most impactful cards to be in the CMC 3 slot. This allows for decent interaction between players as they can at least set up a board or find an answer to these cards by then. That...
