Sadly I wasn't the pilot of this one, but I did hear about a Thunderbreak Regent getting podded into a Thundermaw Hellkite the turn after it had been Claustrophobia'd, which sounds hilarious. 1UU Lava Spike yourself? Sure, why not?

Finally got to draft my cube again after a long dry spell. Felt good, man. Felt good. Ones 1 Deathrite Shaman 1 Joraga Treespeaker 1 Tragic Slip Twos 1 Mayor of Avabruck 1 Satyr Wayfinder 1 Burning-Tree Emissary Threes 1 Seal of Doom 1 Kitchen Finks 1 Courser of Kruphix 1 Yavimaya Elder 1...

Have you played any Duels of the Planeswalkers? It's fantastic at roping in new players and getting lapsed players like I was back into the game. The decks and archetypes in them tend to be simple and elemental, but it turns out even relatively simple Magic has surprising depth all on its own. I...

Jace, the Mind sculptor Real talk, guys. Under what circumstances can this guy be safely run?

OMFG I love that new Liliana. Gimme gimme gimme. It's too bad she says 'another creature' for the self sacrifice deck, but I guess it would be a flavor fail otherwise.

I was actually considering running it. Or worse. Someone should probably stop me.

I wouldn't touch the card in retail limited. I can't imagine trying to run it in anything like a normal cube environment.

That's not really fair. It's a 7 drop. It should stabilize you and generally win you the game. I mean, it's not like it's worse than Hornet Queen. I ran it for a while and was happy every time it was in play, but I eventually cut it because I found that my red decks just almost never got up to...

Eight mana is a lot more than seven mana. I can't find a link to the relevant math, but it's like several turns more than seven.

If you're going to run a 7-drop in red, it should be Form of the Dragon

Did a brief 6-man draft this week. Only got a couple rounds in, but we had some sweet decks. Mardu midrange <-- Me. Mostly WR with lots of sweepers splashing for Sorin, Lord of Innistrad and Ultimate Price. Esper Control <-- This had a bunch of walkers including Ugin, who was a total house 5c...

I was a little worried about it at first, but it's turned out to be fine. It doesn't affect the board at all, so if you're under pressure it just does nothing. It's a clock for sure, but it's got to do all the heavy lifting by itself, and you either need a stalled board or board control in order...

The funny thing is I was just thinking of starting this thread, and lo and behold here it is. Here's what I run currently: Student of Warfare Spear of Heliod Enclave Cryptologist Coralhelm Commander Meloku the Clouded Mirror Thassa, God of the Sea Stromgald Crusader Reassembling Skeleton...

Oath of Lieges I know Land Tax is just better, but I've got this sitting in my work box staring at me, tempting me to try it. Thoughts?

That's my first time seeing Overseer of the Damned. I really need to pay more attention to Commander releases, I guess. He looks hella sweet. Anyway, I run Rune-Scarred Demon, who is perfectly cromulent, but I'm gonna swap him for the Overseer and see what happens. I run Tuktuk, who is a ton...

Am I the only guy who hates Deranged Hermit? It's got echo and squirrels, two things I dislike. (I do run echo creatures sort of begrudgingly, though...)

Never, ever, ever run 41+ cards. It is never right. There is always a last cut.

He's totally sweet with any sacrifice outlet, any blink shenanigans, and even sometimes used completely normally trading back and forth for more cards. And sometimes he's just a piker, which can be good enough. You can recur him with Reveillark and Alesha. He might be my favorite card in the...

Bloodbraid ElfvsHuntmaster of the Fells

Too many of my creatures are x/1's. Something like 40% of them, in fact. I'm wondering if that's a problem I need to address.
