I went through a period with my fetch/dual manabase (and i'm not sure switching to shocks isn't right at some point) where CDe decks just weren't beating their cDEf counterparts. The additional gold cards was worth more than the slight consistency boost, and as a designer I felt like I wanted...

I've been on the edge of including Arbor Elf for a little bit now, since I think my format wants another elf. It's a powerful, good card.

iirc i actually tutored for this wasteland b/c it was my strongest play. That deck only had one wasteland but Demonic and Vampiric tutors gave me a lot more consistency with my flexible cards. blowing up the chained to the rocks on the plateau I think is exactly the kind of play wasteland should...

do this

dead weight is wayy better i think.

it's time to GET HYPED folks: playable walkers! oh wow they're actually doing what I hoped they would w/ the Expeditions! cool lands for limited! this dude is a black lifelinking graveyard-hating triple-tribing monstar:

Assume it's game two, you're at 10 life with a board presence but no hand, I'm on control and I just stabilized with a grip of answers. You're trying to work out what I've got, I'm trying to remember what you could topdeck, and maybe it's a couple turns before I want to kill your Old Man, get...

yes hi it's me, that's my favourite way to draft if I feel like I have a handle on the archetype. maybe i'll make the threadq Fetches shuffle the stack but it's yet another way to draw that one extra card, so you could, say, have 3 cards in library and a brainstorm in hand, so your uncracked...

Spellskite would be great, it slipped my mind at the time. It's not an exhaustive list, that's the really cool thing about Doomsday in mostly-singleton formats, the specific cards you need are often interchangeable. I have a few ideas about what to look at but want to try some stuff before I...

lhurgoyf set, tarmogoyf reprint confirmed for SOI standard

Jason: would you publish an "Enabling Doomsday combo in Cube" article if it were 50% actual content 50% piles with comedic names by volume? e: if not what kind of ratio are we talking

the cool thing about doomsday is that it's a very efficient tutor for multiple cards, so you can set up your clunky combo onetwothreefourfive justlikethat (and how do you like your blue-eyed boy mister death) ===DOOMSDAY CONTEXT AND HISTORY (also how to pilot doomsday it's not that hard in...

I want to enable Laboratory Maniac combo and have one loose slot for it. In this context, please choose: Sidisi, Brood Tyrant Doomsday

Ferret dug up a really sweet post while we were jamming on Cockatrice, something about divvying your deck up into two piles, one 'mostly lands' and the other 'mostly spells', and players would draw from the pile of their choice. I wish I'd kept a link, but I'm sure at some point he'll be able...

What about Phylactery counters? I don't have any designs that aren't awful but I feel like it's an interesting design space. Phylactery Lich

Yeah but then I'd never use my Scissors Lizard / Paper Tiger / Rock Lobster set

pucatrade is sweet, most people will be selling off draft stuff hoping to turn it into Eternal playables, which means that if you wanna offload one or two Standard roleplayers for a buncha old draft commons it's more or less perfect. You want the PucaPower javascript extension if you're going to...

I already made brunch plans, sorry! If you're still around 2-3hrs from now hit me up though and I'll totally jam some games

Okay, calling this one as a rain check, I'll try to host something in January. Sorry if you were sticking around to draft!

If you're serious about being willing to read anything, check this fantastic (but loooong) article on Brainstorm: http://www.starcitygames.com/magic/legacy/19780_Fishing_Lessons_Pondering_Brainstorm.html Also, here's a pretty good podcast episode about Divining Top, although it's...
