I don't remember whether that would have been cheating before, but it definitely isn't now. In fact, it doesn't even need trample. An Acidic Slime can kill two hill giants if they both block.

I'm pretty sure nothing happens. It's not leaving the battlefield, so the "until" clause wouldn't occur. The real question is, when you disenchant the Song of the Dryads, does Banishing Light still remember what it exiled?

Even with one blocker you could choose to have their trampler assign it all to that one creature. A single soldier token could take an entire Terra Stomper hit. I'm not sure why they created block order. Maybe infect would have been too good? I have no clue.

702.21j During the combat damage step, if an attacking creature is being blocked by a creature with banding, or by both a [quality] creature with “bands with other [quality]” and another [quality] creature, the defending player (rather than the active player) chooses how the attacking creature’s...

Trample currently functions as (crudely) "if all blocking creatures are assigned lethal damage, excess damage may be assigned to defending player." You could still assign more than 2 damage to a bear with a trampling mammoth, but then all 3 damage happens to the bear and none to the player.

It appears that you can spread around the damage in either case. The key phrase being "With the exception of ignoring the damage assignment order..." meaning lethal damage does NOT need to be assigned in any case, trample or not. Two 3/3's can safely block and kill a vanilla or trampling 4/4...

Yeah but if you're waiting that long to cast it it might as well be a Treasure Cruise instead.

It would be nice if there was a single resource that compiled all of these basic probability-strategies. Another move that people often forget is siding out a land for game 2 if you're on the draw. 17 lands on the play has almost the exact same probabilities as 16 lands on the draw.

I see your point. Bogardan Hellkite was mostly going unplayed except for reanimator-type strategies, so whatever I add will be taking his job. I just cut Inferno Titan in an effort to decrease the cube's power level, so I'm going to try something else first. I was fascinated by Warmonger...

It's been a long time since I used Sheoldred, so I'll give that another shot. As far as red 7's go, the one that stood out to me the most was Balefire Dragon. It probably ends the game if it connects once. I'm currently running Bogardan Hellkite at the top of my red drops.

I used to run Sheoldred but found it to be oppressive. Maybe I should give it another shot? Hornet Queen is on the bench for a while. Currently running Angel of Serenity, Avenger of Zendikar, and Myr Battlesphere. I was hoping to allow each color to have exactly one 7-drop creature. I'm not...

Hmm that's an interesting card. Though I'm not sure if I like it as much as Second Sunrise. They both protect against wraths, but sunrise requires the creatures to die somehow if you're just going for ETB triggers, so you'd want a sac outlet. Second Sunrise also protects your artifacts and...

Was working on my nostalgia cube today and rediscovered this art: demonic torment Most of Anson Maddocks' stuff is really awesome.

She lives in the town next to mine and I've met her several times. Super nice person. She has done a few sketches for me on cards and playmats.

This has been my goal exactly.

Frost Walker was no good?

I cut Manic Vandal & friends a while ago, and I do agree that it would be nice for red to have a stronger card that deals with artifacts. Hopefully Wizards will do something about that in the not too distant future. In the meantime, what are our options? Manic Vandal Keldon Vandals Torch...

Not in this lab. If some glass breaks, you gotta tiptoe around it.

Having the option to use the Goblin Bombardment mode makes it more interesting and probably better. I'll try the blue one this week.
