    decent article, but I'm surprised you didn't link "Philisophers Play Multiplayer Magic".

    sharzad (safra's cube)

    oops! I actually brought in Angel of Finality. which I'm excited to try. Way too pricy, I'm hoping somebody cheats it out. I have a reanimator guy now who's got me excited. The analysis of threaten effects rings true to me, it's rough! I'll try Blind with Anger instead. Thanks for the...

    sharzad (safra's cube)

    she immediately went to bed, we texted while i was playing Great points, he's back in! Undersupported, underdrafted, underwhelming,. Keeping my promo though because I think it's workable, it just wasn't in that context. Becoming a 3/3 when it's Renowned is deceptively nice. Truths is...

    Card/Deck she wants the d(iscard suite)

    man Augur of Skulls looks amazing with Alesha...a regenerate mana sink to survive combat, then you sacrifice it and bring it back next turn...brutal. I think this idea has some merit. not sure it's worth it unless it can be recurred though.

    Card/Deck she wants the d(iscard suite)

    Tidehollow Sculler is my baby gal and I love casting her but she's more of a tempo play, like if Meddling Mage was colourshifted to Orzhov. I unfortunately don't think Mesmeric Fiend and Brain Maggot are playable even with sacrifice or enchantment synergy; Sculler's 2/2 stat line is the real...

    Card/Deck she wants the d(iscard suite)

    Sure thing. If we're assuming this experiment wants mana dork density levels (5-6 in a 360 cube; or around 1.5% of a cube of size n): high-power: 360: 3x Thoughtseize, 2-3 flex discard, 0-1 mass discard 450: 3x Thoughtseize, 2 IoK, 3 flex discard, 1 mass discard Lower-power: 360: 3x...

    Card/Deck she wants the d(iscard suite)

    it's so, so bad. by turn three in a mono-black deck it's as good as Blackmail, a card already at the margins of most of these discussions. In every other case it's worse, and when you have 4+ swamps out how many cards is your opponent that likely to have in hand? The deckbuilding constraint...

    sharzad (safra's cube)

    I wasn't even sure I was gonna do a BFZ prerelease (again, no squad) but I decided in the shower I was gonna head down and see if I could keep pulling only Cubeable rares (spoiler alert: still true, later i'll dish on this). It's a pretty impromptu decision, so I can't heed CML's advice and hit...

    One Pack One Pick (p1p1 thread)

    Slam pick E-Wit, reconsider briefly when I notice CoCo in the pack, stay with the Witness. Lingering Souls is also very appealing.

    General Fight Club

    In order of how much I think they'd bring to an environment: Big Elspeth, Good Elspeth, Gideon Gideon is v. powerful and enables control strats a little more but mostly he's just a huge pile of loyalty that holds off combat for a few turns until he swings for lethal. Sounds appealing, I know...

    If you don't run Pod go Wanderer, if you do I'd say Vorapede. Undying is cool but I like the Wanderer a little more in isolation.

    One Pack One Pick (p1p1 thread)

    Definitely Corpse Dance for me. Such a fun archetype! (also, the most interesting buyback spell - Mystic Speculation is a close second though) I have another photo pack: (first-pick e-wit e-day)

    Card/Deck Vamps

    some interesting MTGO Legacy Cube updates: -Vampires theme is gone, went largely undrafted -he's got weird metrics for 'it worked out' but the underlying idea to keep tinkering with the cube is commendable (Randy please try a recursive black aggro theme next we think it's viable and fun)...

    curious how you guys would rate these against each other. I think Revelry is better but Wear//Tear is so good i'm considering Breach instead Hull Breach vs Destructive Revelry

    Card/Deck What human tribal incentives do you run?

    i tried to make humans relevant in blue by a) running a bunch of Human-typed utility dudes and b) giving blue fliers that could go over the largely ground-based Human world of combat. It makes a little more clear the draft / draft-against dynamic humans/non-humans can have thanks to human...

    A store here in BC, Magic Stronghold. I prerelease at a more casual store though which is also closer to my house. The Mentor list is on modo, PM me your username and we'll totally play some games.

    I don't really play standard (although i'll borrow a deck or whatever) but here's what I'm playing in proxy modern (-1 Simic Charm +1 Darkblast). It is so, so fun! a real shame it would cost like $2k to buy for real, and that's shardless sultai money Also I've been working on this Monastery...

    Card/Deck she wants the d(iscard suite)

    it was bad when i tested it, even with bloodsoaked champions i really want it to be good though and it might be a matter of how many creatures like to be in the yard in aggressive black decks (and changing the mana cost to {B}) so if wizards print a few more good recursive creatures i'll...
