Mystic Soundclaw {1}{g} Creature - Human Shaman (R) T: Add {g}, {u} or {r} to your mana pool. Morph {2} When Mystic Soundclaw is turned face-up, add {g}{u}{r} to your mana pool That sounds pretty awesome! Four mana on turn 3, or six on turn 4, take your pick. The unconventional order of mana...

I once pulled it of with Withdraw in hand and Venser, Shaper Savant in play. That too was ugly, in a good way. :) I wonder why I cut Withdraw, that card is so cool...

Yeah, I run Hammer of Purphoros for that reason. Edit: well, obviously I don't run it just because of Young Pyromancer, but mass haste is a wonderful ability that often gets undervalued.

Affinity in extended and modern is a completely different beast from affinity in standard back then. It was near unbeatable. Either you played affinity, or you ran mono-artifact hate, which created a really, really destructive constructed metagame, as shown by the flock of "babies" (you keep...

I am tempted to go for Island But I think my choice shall be Llanowar Elves Even though BoP and Hierarch are better, there isn't a single green limited deck that doesn't get better by the inclusion of good old Lawnmower Elves. It's still, after all these years of creatures getting better and...

Yeah, that change was also pretty popular. I remember the first change to the legend rule (i.e. the last one stays instead of the first one) was also a vast improvement. No more "who is the first to play Lin-Sivvi" bullshit.

I agree with most of your set judgments, but not you conclusion. I count a lot more than two bad and/or unexciting (which is just as bad) sets. More importantly however, the problem is not the third set, the problem is three sets. A good third set has often been part of a block with another bad...

Alara Reborn has got nothing on Fifth Dawn in my mind. That set sucked me right back into Magic after two years of not playing. Bet those two weren't the cards you expected met to list though :)

Pestilence is not at all overpowered in Peasant constructed. It is a fun card though, and I did play the classic Pestilence + Cemetery Gate combo :) There are multiple decks that can beat you though, and enchantment removal can be prevalent depending on the meta (Wispmare and Bonesplitter make...

Journey into Nyx (at the expense of Born of the Gods), Rise of the Eldrazi, Fifth Dawn and Apocalypse. Edit: Small third sets. Oops, strike Rise then.

Super duper awesome news. I am stoked. And I don't even play Standard! This might be their best decision in ages, coming from someone who firmly supported damage off the stack and the new border.

Yeah, I'm now looking at an add for TypeTopia, a gamefied typing course. The last (blind) typing test I did (for a recruitment agency) I was too quick for the test because it was calibrated for non-IT personel. I don't think I need that typing course :D

I need to get one.

Hey, I get appropriate adverts! magiccardmarket.eu is one of my favorite sites, and certainly one of the sites where I spent the most digital money (together with amazon and steam probably).

Oh Peasant. I used to be a driving force behind that format in our local community, until I largely withdrew from tournaments to spend more time with my family. I even ran a blog with deck lists etc: peasantmagicgroningen.blogspot.com. Two guys took over when I quit, but despite their efforts...

I strongly dislike the fact that if all my dudes had been green but otherwise the same, I could have won the game. I'm not saying I would have, but chumping with a guy that would get shocked anyway is better than taking 3+ to the face and having your opponent draw a card. With protection from a...

I think we have to agree to disagree here, because I hate Sword of Fire and Ice as much as any other Sword of X and Y in limited. I lost to it multiple times playing a red deck, and boy would I have loved to chumpblock with a do-nothing creature while winning the damage race on the crackback...

Yeah. I dislike all the swords in limited because I dislike permanent protection in limited. Even if {u/r} isn't doing a lot of blocking, it is doing a lot of removing creature with burn and bounce, and that gets shut down as well. I don't want to run any Swords of X and Y in my cube, ever.

Ten and one green mana source is enough for Helix Pinnacle :)

Yeah, I was a bit tongue in cheek there, Grafted Wargear is certainly top of the line. It's the best equipment I want to run, as Jitte and Swords are OP bullshit and Batterskull is just a little too much in a lower powered cube.
