I already have plans for if (when) I don't Day 2, but I'll probably be wondering around the Excel for a while if I scrub out early on Day 1.

hey I came up with a good nickname for Pia and Kiran Nalaar: Whirler Rouge. Feel free to use it if you like. Well, bye!

The unblockable comes up a surprising amount in the standard deck. It's kind of like a different form of reach.

A pet card of mine (though probably not cubeable) Last Laugh

Psychatog Upheaval

Anafenza plus Hangarback Walker seems sweet! I just played Thopters. The deck is cool, if swingy and draw dependent. I'm running it back for GP London as well.

I'm on 3 at the moment, might bump it up to 4 as I'm running a 450.

Well I got as far as the point where he says Wrath of God is the archetypal mid-range card, but up to there it was alright.

Thragtusk in particular is a pretty funny example to use as a tempo card because iirc he was printed specifically to combat Delver tempo decks and their Vapor Snags. And I quite enjoy these theory discussions, although this might have taken over the thread a bit, I think it's interesting to...

I guess what I'm getting at is that a card being able to gain you tempo does not make it a "tempo card", being a card that would fit into a "tempo deck".

Sure, if you define a tempo play as any play that advances your own game plan whilst setting back your opponent, but then I feel like the vast majority of plays fall into this category so it's not all that useful as a definition.

I'm not sure I can see any scenario where Thragtusk is a tempo card. It's like the definition of a midrange card: a good stabilization tool against aggro and a resilient threat against control, allowing you to take different rolls in those matchups. See also Kitchen Finks, Huntmaster of the...

Greed Necropotence Yawgmoth's Bargain

With all this talk of Lorescale Coatl I want to try it just so I can curve Sylvan Library into it and follow up with Jace TMS. Also my understanding of tempo was that it was a strategy that trades cards for time, eg a deck that wants bounce effects which, whilst they're inherent card...

It's been tearing up standard but has anyone tried Hangarback Walker Fetchable with Trinket Mage!

Is it exactly four cards or at least four cards in hand?

Corpsejack Menace can be blocked by one creature. Unacceptable.

I had an idea for a planeswalker: Tezzeret {W}{U}{B} 0: Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature 0: Put a -1/-1 counter on target creature 0: Proliferate Starting loyalty: I dunno, 2 or 3

When you get to play Grave Titan you can call it riding the gravy train, and that puts it into playable for me.
