I should be in Queens around then depending on the date so hmu if you need another pair of hands

Busted the RPTQ: made what I think was the right meta call and faced my worst matchups. The format's stagnation is demoralizing so I'm not taking the GP too seriously (I just want to play a US GP and have fun with Marvel) but I did get to try commentary for the first time which was a lot of fun...

Are you going to GP NJ?

That doesn't explain morph in Onslaught and Time Spiral; in Onslaught at least, it heavily warped the draft I really wanted to make Deathmist Raptor work but the tools just aren't there

^I think this post held up pretty well. The Pariah and improvise points haven't panned out but most of the 4C Saheeli decks play Marvel now, the UR Emerge deck is coming back into focus, and: I don't think this is 'broken' but my deck was featured on CFB today...

looks like the front page needs some content if you know what I mean (I mean that the front page needs some content)

Crovax is one of my pet favourites, it belongs more in the Low Power spotlight IMO but it's perfect for that kind of environment

Your English is fine, that's just Chris being Chris :P Mythmaker + Eldrazi Conscription was a really fun casual deck but the card only works in a VMA-style Cube

I can tell you when something doesn't work but that's usually because I broke it

Codex Shredder Considering this as a 'cog' with a unique effect that fuels graveyard synergies and late-game loops in control decks. How low does your power level have to be to make this a 'real' card?

The PT is tomorrow and I'm excited to see if Standard is more diverse than advertised so far as I'm playing two GPs and a RPTQ in this format. The guys I know who are going haven't found anything good other than the obvious UWR Saheeli and BG decks (not I was expecting them to lol). Things...

I still love Into the Roil: it's a clean and effective example of a nuts-and-bolts card blue needs to have. It's fine in any blue deck and you need a certain number of cards like that. Rift is amazing at creating memorable games: it's often one of the few cards in Magic (or the only card in a...

Sounds like you're whispering shade at every Peasant cube ever Sram is kinda intriguing. The problem with Aura or equipment (or Vehicle tbh) subthemes is that they are too shallow individually; between them you can muster ~15 solid cards that trigger Sram, but you can't play too many because...

I didn't write 1700 words in my thread in response to a normal comment in another subforum, no :p I find those starts amusing but YMMV

c/p from my thread:

Next on the docket are mini-primers for various archetypes I want to explore. The 'artifact deck' is a big one, but first: +1/+1 Counters

There are a few self-contained Energy cards that are interesting - namely Aethergeode Miner - but the most appealing ones to me are the unique effects offered by Dynavolt Tower and Aetherworks Marvel* which both require a lot more support than you can reasonably give *Though with Marvel you...

More free time now so lots of Magic posts/writing on the agenda! First up: 2016 Cube Review: - Oath of the Gatewatch was incredibly influential for Constructed and solid for Cube too. The big question is whether you want to include the colourless/Eldrazi cards or even acknowledge their...

I just hope I can finally justify running Arcbound Ravager

2016 Magic Review: The Magic year started with me trying to prepare for the Pro Tour. I was juggling academic commitments and personal stuff and wasn't quite sure how to prepare: to adapt a Rumsfeldism that's actually pretty insightful, I didn't know how much I didn't know. First, though, I...
