    That combo looks super fun :) I like how Souleater can trade with just about anything, provided you want it badly enough.

    Oops, I never realized this said "if you control no snakes". I thought it just made deathtouch snakes galore.

    This card is mildly interesting. Almost.

    Both of the PWs are actually beatable in those decks. Lowish level Magic can be fun, provided you enjoy the opposition.

    I was playing the Jace v Vraska duel deck with my brother and was actually surprised by how often I as the Jace controller was not sure which pile was best. Or the best way to split them. I think it's a fun card.

    Card/Deck Ahadabans Newest Least Favorite Card Ever

    I will say, when I first started my cube, PWs were the card type I was most excited about. I had never played a, for example, Garruk Wildspeaker deck, and being able to jam those bad boys into 40-carders was incredibly novel. I still find it fun, running stuff like Domri Rade and new Chandra...

    Article ChannelFireball: Utility Land Draft

    This seems pretty reasonable. It's probably more fixing than I'd like though (in the utility draft), speaking from experience. If you have 15 fixers people won't spend many picks on actual spell-lands. Maybe that's not considered a bad thing, but to me it feels different when it becomes the...

    Card/Deck Ahadabans Newest Least Favorite Card Ever

    I still maintain that the link between damage and PW loyalty is one of the cleverest things in modern Magic, and brings some of the interactive resource conversion that defines a game like Netrunner. I take issue with some of the other rules surrounding PWs (they really create terrible board...

    Yeah, their narrowness is what motivated the utility land draft format.

    I don't know, I feel like the Titans do an effective way of "upping the urgency" of the gamestate, as Cooperfauss would say. Grave Titan is beatable, but it certainly changes things. I realize everyone has their line (wait, that's a lie), and for me Grave Titan and Wurmcoil fall on opposite...

    General Why not?

    Flood ruins many fewer games if you run a heavy dose of utility lands. Being able to pump that mana into a Faerie Conclave and chip away at their PW is the difference between a game and non-game of Magic often.

    Card/Deck Ahadabans Newest Least Favorite Card Ever

    Yeah, I thought about this card when considering the CMC of effects discussion earlier. Stealing instead of destroying (or exiling, whatever) for 3 mana is what feels so off here. Couldn't the steal target artifact at least have been a -3? Like, the closest analogue is probably if Liliana of...

    What Percentage of Magic Players are Software Developers?

    Uh, I write compute code all day, and create (kind of) software for performing statistical analyses. Does that count?

    The Book Thread

    Yeah, I think I've mentioned it several times before. It's my favorite fantasy book that I've ever read, not that I'm the most well versed. It's gotten pretty popular too, especially with the Penny-Arcade guys always banging on about it.

    Is there a "destroy target artifact or enchantment" card with Cycling on it? That would be some fun tension.
