Fathom Seer has played well so far. I imagine Master Biomancer is good, probably better, but I haven't played him. Honestly, they go in the same deck and have the same role in a slightly different way, they are pretty interchangable all things considered. Fathom Seer has more synergy with the...

If you judge the minor gods "as if they could never be creatures" then they are all terrible. Attacking, or at the very least, the threat of attacking is extremely important to their power level. Ephara in particular is potentially powerful because she draws you cards, which in turn can give...

I forget exactly but it involved big green dudes, Thrill-Kill Cultist turning Empyrial Archangel into a glorified fog and him forgetting that you can't equip Lightning Greaves on said Empyrial Archangel.

Speaking of Whip of Erebus, someone (in my friend's wacky cube), cascaded Maelstrom into Whip of Erebus into Bloodbraid Elf into Angel's Herald . Then lost the game.

Devastating Summons I have one lying around and it seems like its a little too all in to possibly be good, but I've never actually manned up and tried it.

I liked FFT a lot, but I hate extraneous content and was trying to get through it without doing any side battles, but I eventually got to some boss fight that seemed completely impossible at my characters levels and got really frustrated.

I mean, if we are going to be excluding cards for their art, though, this one is pretty high on my list.

I really like Mirari's Wake. Anthem + Flare lets you have fun with manasinks without completely abandoning the board, which is pretty cool. Trostani is really strong, but a bit lopsided in where it puts out value. Plays great with Wake too. Knight of the Reliquary is a land tutoring fatty...

I've never had a problem with this. People seem to love the intrinsic appeal of red based aggro. Perhaps its a novelty thing: red-based aggro is ever-present (other cubes, constructed, etc.) while your other angles are less-so. Maybe its not a matter of design, but just a matter of time: the...

And when you think it/untap it/she dies, they don't get the creature back. She's certainly not the worst card out there. Not really relevant to lifegain though. P.S. The whip rocks and creates hilarious games, particuarly in a removal light environment One game someone had to do over 50...

True story: the only reason I even tried this card in is because once upon a time I ordered a "Phyrexian Processor" and they sent me the wrong card. It was a pretty awesome mistake. Processor sucks.

I have comically bad luck with any deck that has recurring nightmare in it. I mean, I 0-3 if I take it. I think my copy of it is cursed. But seriously, that card is stupid, even if I like the idea. I've thought about changing "as a sorcery" to "during your upkeep" and even with that...

Green/Black are quickly solidifying into my devotion colors, so I'm really, really hoping Pharika is awesome. The lack of a decent CCC card sucks, though, but Creakwood Liege is pretty good. Its possible the W/B god and a new white devotion card could really knock it out of the park and shake...

I'm really not sure what to think when someone claims to have completed "testing" on all the cards from Born of the Gods already. The full spoiler dropped on, what, Friday? What could that reasonably consist of?

For my next major update (after Journey to Nyx), I am going to attempt to try the "three set" model. I already have two sets (main cube and land), so I will attempt the spread to three sets (key cards, support cards and lands). The attempt is to have more consistency (fixing certain cards and...

I was not playing retail limited or constructed during the Mirrodin-Kamigawa era. After reading Jitte I thought "well this card sounds like a fun card, I wonder why everyone hates it?" and shoved it in. After some laughably bad games, its tenure ended.

Nylea hitting the table changes everything. First off, she has a clear weakness in that she does absolutely nothing without another creature on board which mutes her power level. Second, the devotion minigame is delicious. Deciding when to go after Nylea herself with your tragic...

Well, like Eric said, I probably shouldn't have been reading other people's opinions of cards. It was my mistake and I take full responsibility for my actions. I also think the "punisher" aspect of the card is overstated, particularly since often the situation will often be forced (they have...

Mogis may well suck, I just am a little confused that the fact that cards he compares with ACTIVELY KILL YOU is apparently completely irrelevant. I'm giving him and Ephara a shot.

The unpleasantness was the shock of realizing how much time had gone by and how old I had become, not having to play against a kid. I generally like kids, which is why I am a Children's Librarian, although I have found out from some of the more miserable members of the profession that those two...
