Banishing Light is much more intuitive than Oblivion Ring most of the time. Disenchant tricks to permanently remove stuff suck! Anyway, when Banishing Light enters the battlefield, it sets up a delayed trigger. That delayed trigger won't go away if you enchant the Banishing Light with a Song...

Nice feedback! Say you want a wrath effect in {w}{b}, and accepting that Magister of Worth is too brutal, which one would you pick? culling sun merciless eviction

Mountain, Goblin Lackey > Mountain, Goblin Guide, Goblin Guide, Goblin Warchief (off Lackey) > Mountain, Goblin Piledriver, Goblin Piledriver, Goblin Piledriver :P @silasw: Empyrial Plate is pretty decent. Oft overlooked, but jut as dangerous as Empyrial Armor.

http://www.channelfireball.com/articles/feature-article-why-you-should-be-sideboarding-lands/ BAM! You're chances to hit the required amount of lands are higher with 16 lands on the draw than they are with 17 lands on the play! I never knew this, and I will certainly use this to my advantage...

Kami of Primordial Law is very good, and looks very efficient yes. Then again, who is playing Viridian Zealot in their cube? Right. And Kami of Ancient Law is also clearly too weak. Maybe it's okay after all? It's basically a Seal of Cleansing that's way easier to remove?

I wish this was so much better at four mana. Misguided Rage is a really, really lackluster card. I would change it to {3}{b} edict, but that would change the card pretty hard. I so want to clean up this wording, but Rapid Fire deals 2 damage to each of up to two target creatures and/or...

I admit there's a lot of midrange in the current meta as far as I can tell, but come on, Ivan Floch won a Pro Tour last August with a pure control deck. I remember William Jensen finishing in the top 8 with Elixir Immortality as the main win condition somewhen last year as well. It's not as if...

Sweet! Put the 3 damage to each creature before making the token though. Having it due to a shock because the modes are executed in their printed order is a bit lame :)

Putrid Imp Here's another Contract from Below for your Damia deck ;) My Damia deck is a snake/gorgon tribal deck, but I think I need to start including discard effects as a cost as well...

That was Vore. Owling Mine didn't play Magnivores (unless they played the hybrid version... Which I actually did one tournament, come to think of it, but the Magnivores were in the transformational sideboard).

People did. I never said it was good though, but people did. Basically what Chris said. Terrible sideboard tech. Then again, discarding your hand is better than dying, so there's that... :D Edit: oh lookie! Proof...

Well... I'll find out then. I replaced Runechanter Pike with this :)

Meh, I feel people are fooling themselves if they think MaRo isn't aware of these things. He seems like a really smart guy with a very good grip on what makes Magic tick. One of those things is expensive rares and mythics, as those will drive up sales, which, eventually, leads to enough profit...

What do you mean, instant or sorcery? It triggers on nonland spells! Artifacts and enchantments count as well! :) I think it's best in a threat-light deck. Something like UB control with utility creatures like Man-o'-War and Sea Gate Oracle that can smash in for huge amounts of damage once...

http://www.starcitygames.com/php/news/print.php?Article=25277 This article calculates that, given a starting hand of three lands, you will, on average, have seven lands available on turn 10, and eight on turn 13 (7.9 on turn 12). There's even an nice distribution graph spelling out on which turn...

Or Devastation

Inspired by CML's post on 7-drops. Angel of Despair vs. Ashen Rider I currently run Ashen Rider because it's much better in reanimator, but Angel of Despair is way more castable. Basically exiling two permanents >>> destroying one permanent, but seven mana >>> eight mana. Thoughts? (Also...

I am utterly confused by that deck list. I am also sad that Jelger Wiegersma lost the semis mirror match last night, the finals were a match made in heaven for Splinter Twin :)

All of those blue drops are infinitely more interesting to me than those red drops.
