I love Courser. I just love lands in general, especially anything that lets me play extra lands or lands from different (/erogenous) zones. Oracle of Mul Daya is delightful. Halimar Depths for the land draft? Valakut with Prismatic Omen or Scapeshift in the Cube?

Play Lavamancer with the Torment art, play Spikeshot Elder too (it's got a lot better with Bestow if that's your thing)

you take that back motherfucker

Capsize is clunky and slow unless it's absolutely dominating, which makes it really awkward either way. Genesis Wave is a really fun card, but I'm wary of including the less powerful X spells or the really expensive mana sinks (Eldrazi) when they don't fit in normal control decks.

fuck Stephen Fry

I've always had a soft spot for mana doublers, being one of the few holdouts to still play Mirari's Wake. Sadly, 5 mana of multiple colours at sorcery speed is a lot to commit for that effect, especially when the tacked-on Anthem is often irrelevant; sure, you almost certainly win if you untap...

the worst part of this thread is easily the 'YOU' in the title the actual 1U Twincast is sweet though

Betting is a mechanic of the game. The game is configured to have hidden information in a way that injects an element of skill. That's a feature of the game, not a byproduct. A form of poker in which you always won by having the best hand would be dull (and 'having the best hand' is entirely a...

This is absolutely not true and I'm surprised to hear you say it.

all of you go watch Word Wars right now then buy (/'buy') Word Freak and read that

also Oracle of Mul Daya Primeval Titan Vengevine Avenger of Zendikar

[Fetchland of choice] for utility land draft IMO as for interactions: Courser of Kruphix Oracle of Mul Daya Rampaging Baloths Life from the Loam Sylvan Library

Apologies for the constant questions, but do you have a sample list for UW Heroic? It's hard to get a sense of what the deck might look like without a list in front of me. Also, thoughts on Zur the Enchanter

Abrupt Decay and Detention Sphere are great versatile removal spells in their respective colour pairs, though obv far more important for Constructed. Aetherling is a solid finisher whose heavy mana requirement can be circumvented in cute ways with cards like Sneak Attack, Whip of Erebos, or...

goddamn this block is so good I've tested all of these in one Cube or another:

It's natural to think about Tarmogoyf as a big dumb animal, but it scales in a fun and exploitable way. Tarmogoyf Artifact + Enchantment: Spear of HeliodBident of ThassaWhip of ErebosHammer of Purphoros Artifact + Creature: Porcelain LegionnairePhyrexian MetamorphPhyrexian...

I'm thinking about playing one of the W 'gains protection from X until EOT' spells (e.g. Stave Off, Gods Willing) and I remembered this: Apostle's Blessing

Evacuation what say you?

Masked Admirers was almost playable in 2007, I guess

This is really, really good, James. Seriously. I'll read as much of this as you're able to write.
