Clever Impersonator. There are trade-offs in power level to the point I don't know which will be better more of the time: Sakashima's Student can immediately hit your opponent as the thing it cloned and lets you recast something that hopefully has a neat enter the battlefield trigger. Clever...

Diakonov: Snap! Same here. I've just noticed that Necrogen Spellbomb lets you force a discard at instant speed - if you're able to recur it every turn via something like Trading Post, you can eat a card from your opponent's hand in their draw step and possibly lock them out the game in a...

Final turn of my game last night: - Draw my last card. No more cards. It's a land. - I am at 2 life. My solitary creature is a 0/1 Goat. Dead on board, so the cards thing won't be an issue. Good to know. - My opponent is at 7 life. - Play Pyrite Spellbomb. - Spellbomb my opponent's face! 5 life...

Adding to a white tokens build is pretty dangerous - you run Lingering Souls, Battle Screech and Secure the Wastes; these would be practically game over with Opposition, and Lingering Souls and Secure the Wastes go into many of the blue cube decks I draft on MTGO. Siege-Gang Commander or Pia and...

Oh, also, you might want to watch Sylvan Safekeeper and Titania, Protector of Argoth - that's a pretty filthy combo that isn't getting shut down by anything short of a wrath.

I did try putting together an Upheaval deck, but as you say, the density of ramp effects is a bit on the low side. Maybe adding some Eldrazi spawn will change that. I think I was a little unlucky with the sacrifice deck not to pick up Bloodsoaked Champion or Reassembling Skeleton - some of...

How's the +1/+1 counter theme been working out for you, by the way? Drafting your cube I think the first pack I opened had a Stalwart Aven next to an Upheaval, which seemed a bit of a power gulf - but looking at your list more generally there's something of a theme going on. Does the synergy...

I think you may be right about Hidden Horror. Curving into a reanimation spell turn 4 is living the dream, but it's the worst topdeck imaginable later. Good call. Will cut it. With regard to black aggro - I think you may have been impacted by my recently trying to reset the pick orders...

Proper blink: Galepowder Mage Conjurer's Closet Self unsummon: Kor Skyfisher Emancipation Angel Temur Sabertooth Also general unsummon effects such as Waterfront Bouncer which can be used that way, or not.

I'd just like to note I've lost a higher percentage of games after resolving Opposition than after resolving Upheaval. You need a certain density of creatures in play to make Opposition good. It doesn't work in every deck and there are board states where it's a lousy topdeck. I don't think the...

Reclamation Sage or Everflowing Chalice. Leaning to the Sage here.

It's possible to download a text file from draft.wtf directly as a drafter - the problems are a) it appears to have no version information and b) it doesn't include the utility land draft. a) is the bigger nuisance but it should be workable round - if draft.wtf can't be tweaked to give us the...

My deck. Went 2-1. Started with a match against Suicufnoc's RB aggro which was marred by MTGO awkwardness; Gideon closed things out hard both games. Played Dom's ramp deck next, got taken apart hard by Karn in the first. Think Green Sun's Zenith showed up three times, I always forget it does...

Sent you a message. Am sophist.mtgo

Sorry for the delay, just setting up a Skype account.

How were the other decks? I'm guessing it's a format that favours aggro over control? What were the best/worst cards in your deck?

So, taking stock of where I am: I feel I want to fit some number of additional Evolving Wilds / Terramorphic Expanse in. They're good with the RG landfall theme and there doesn't look to be enough fixing at present. My first round of cuts is probably going to be round the duplicated effects of...

So there have been some more updates since: No more echo: Goblin Patrol > Frenzied Goblin Keldon Vandals > Duergar Hedge-Mage Found myself asking "is this really where I want to break singleton?" Gigantiform > Garruk's Companion Gigantiform > Vinelasher Kudzu Just better cards: Sleep > Fact...

Some nice cards here. I think non-gold cards fit in more decks, and Living Death is a bit of a build-around (there's no reanimation package currently), but Trinket Mage gets: Engineered Explosives, Expedition Map, Sensei's Divining Top, Everflowing Chalice, Relic of Progenitus, Adventuring Gear...
