The only thing that confuses me is that Steamflogger Boss is a black bordered card. It is going to be confusing if it is the only black bordered card in the set (minus basic lands). They can't print it with a silver border, as then people might be confused when some plays a silver bordered...

Another prerelease, another chance to post some limited decklists that I made for me to look back on in horror. Ones 1 Traveler's Amulet Twos 1 Gust Walker 1 Adorned Pouncer 1 River Hoopoe 1 Unquenchable Thirst Threes 1 Those who serve 1 Dauntless Aven 1 Sunscourge Champion 1 Ornery Kudu 1...

Vizier of Tumbling Sands Card is super sweet, and hits on all the points you request ;)

I wanted to write up something for my trip to GP Brisbane, but I have tried twice and lost it, so I just gave up. This is going to be a short little recap of what I want to remember from that trip. I am always a fan of combo and tier 2-3 strategies, and while I have been playing Ad Nauseum in...

Just wanted to fix the deck, as I wanted to see it. I am keeping an eye on all the people who are doing 2-player cubes, as it seems like the perfect way to get in a fix draft fix, without needing the 6+ people to draft a normal cube. I have been stalking Chris for quite a while and help him...

Another set another prerelease. Always look forward to playing with new cardboard. Opened up my packs (although the prerelease box is so confusing to open), and saw my two sweet Sphinx's and thought I was going to make a nice base blue deck with these two bombs, until I looked at the rest of my...

This seems pretty sweet. I have really liked Garruk's Horde in lower powered environment and having it's effect stapled onto a creature half the cost is pretty sweet. Also pretty interesting that is says look at the top instead of reveal. Was Oracle of Mul Daya and Courser of Kruphix giving...

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...
