Ashnod's AltarPhyrexian Altar (aka 'Altar? I hardly...') If you want to do the kinds of silly things described in the tokens combo thread, which of these is better? Phyrexian Altar is better for chaining spells together on one turn, Ashnod's Altar lets you ramp into really big stuff (Secure...

But you replace it with another risk: every card you draw on a future turn is now one card behind schedule, and that ends up mattering. In particular, with both players having empty boards/hands, the value of having a given threat a turn earlier is much higher. The fail case of Looting now (I...

The second best card is just as likely to be the bottom in the set of cards you might see this game as the top, so that's a wash. If your top card is anything other than your best card, you want to Loot. So you're weighing up the probability that the top card is your best card AND not having...

Time Stop Unique gameplay, sweet card, sweet art (it looks goddamn amazing in foil)

I'm tempted to put the work in for Thought-Knot Seer, it's nice for red/white/green to have some minimal hand disruption. Matter Reshaper and especially Eldrazi Displacer are worth it too. I don't find Reality Smasher interesting. I don't mind World Breaker either though that one doesn't really...

is Jokulhaups fun? seems like it immediately ends the game in your favour if you have a superior board presence

nobody here is Mirari woke smh

filthy casual FEB fans ignoring the OG kill: Flowstone HellionPhyrexian Dreadnought (doesn't even rely on damage stacking, gtfo Phage) when I explained this to my friend who got me into Magic and his eyes glazed over in unrestrained boredom that was the moment I knew I loved this game too...

Went 3-1 against Jason, games were pretty good Maindeck:

I've reached a point where blue and white are the most boring colours in my Cube. What are some fun directions to take them in?

This is a really important thread IMO. ETB spam is a problem that's only getting worse over time and is hard to avoid given how good (and interesting) some of the offenders are. I might have to dial back support for Blink as a deck in my next update because it really doesn't need the help. It...

report: I made a thread recently about a Goryo's Vengeance/Necrotic Ooze deck I'd been doing well with. I had a smaller local event coming up and wanted to have fun and test a few things out, plus I was hypnotized by the all-powerful Gitrog. Here's what I registered: [see above] With...

Looting + Voice, easy

too much effort for too little reward

The Great Aurora Watching it in Standard got me thinking about it here. I wrote it off as another 'reset everything' card - Worldpurge isn't making waves even for us - but this is probably the most playable card of that type?

short report coming soon also I want to try pushing Gitrog as hard as possible, no guarantees of quality but here's a first draft: Ones 4 Faithless Looting 4 Lightning Axe Twos 4 Life from the Loam 2 Zombie Infestation 4 Seismic Assault 4 Goryo's Vengeance 4 Footsteps of the Goryo...

Ooze is kinda plan 2.5 after Assault/Loam and Vengeance, I wanted to be able to Traverse for a reanimation effect but not draw too many redundant copies. I had a second but cut it for the Witness, which can rebuy a Vengeance for the same effect and also get back Assault or let you reuse your SB...
