well buckle up and call me Ambrose Spell Pierce b/c aggro-control: An aggressive deck that seeks to establish an early board presence and 'ride it to victory'. Look to Delver or Heroic in Constructed for examples. fish decks: Aggressive decks with potent and specialized hate, typically also...

did you just basically say 'Dies to Purge'? Carver strikes me as having that Commander design thing where it's a little too pushed and a little too unambiguous, maybe I should put him back in though.

Spell velocity: a measure of how much a deck or format trends toward sequencing and playing more than one spell a turn. The 'opposite' is a strategy based on progressively curving out into the midgame or later. NWO: A Wizards design era of lower board complexity at common; a response to how...

i thought it was from whymtgcardsmith(no offense)

Nice Guay art

Still stands. Let me know how long you're here and I'll see what I can do.

The coolest thing about Breakthrough (and the reason I know it, didn't play in I/O sadly) is casting it for X=0 in Dredge (each draw can be replaced by another dredge trigger, then you One with Nothing). It's a really neat design.

I went through a period with my fetch/dual manabase (and i'm not sure switching to shocks isn't right at some point) where CDe decks just weren't beating their cDEf counterparts. The additional gold cards was worth more than the slight consistency boost, and as a designer I felt like I wanted...

I've been on the edge of including Arbor Elf for a little bit now, since I think my format wants another elf. It's a powerful, good card.

iirc i actually tutored for this wasteland b/c it was my strongest play. That deck only had one wasteland but Demonic and Vampiric tutors gave me a lot more consistency with my flexible cards. blowing up the chained to the rocks on the plateau I think is exactly the kind of play wasteland should...

do this

dead weight is wayy better i think.

it's time to GET HYPED folks: playable walkers! oh wow they're actually doing what I hoped they would w/ the Expeditions! cool lands for limited! this dude is a black lifelinking graveyard-hating triple-tribing monstar:

Assume it's game two, you're at 10 life with a board presence but no hand, I'm on control and I just stabilized with a grip of answers. You're trying to work out what I've got, I'm trying to remember what you could topdeck, and maybe it's a couple turns before I want to kill your Old Man, get...

yes hi it's me, that's my favourite way to draft if I feel like I have a handle on the archetype. maybe i'll make the threadq Fetches shuffle the stack but it's yet another way to draw that one extra card, so you could, say, have 3 cards in library and a brainstorm in hand, so your uncracked...

Spellskite would be great, it slipped my mind at the time. It's not an exhaustive list, that's the really cool thing about Doomsday in mostly-singleton formats, the specific cards you need are often interchangeable. I have a few ideas about what to look at but want to try some stuff before I...

Jason: would you publish an "Enabling Doomsday combo in Cube" article if it were 50% actual content 50% piles with comedic names by volume? e: if not what kind of ratio are we talking

the cool thing about doomsday is that it's a very efficient tutor for multiple cards, so you can set up your clunky combo onetwothreefourfive justlikethat (and how do you like your blue-eyed boy mister death) ===DOOMSDAY CONTEXT AND HISTORY (also how to pilot doomsday it's not that hard in...

I want to enable Laboratory Maniac combo and have one loose slot for it. In this context, please choose: Sidisi, Brood Tyrant Doomsday
