I feel like I should do part 1 of my set review sometime :P Didn't notice we were halfway through already. Do we have someone on that? In more recent news: Ordeals are cool. Wish the red one was more worth it, and I love that my favorite casual deck (Auratog + Rancor) just got some new toys...

This is why I've never understood solitaire :P

Soldier: WAAAAAA Protection. I might anyway, but I'm not sure I need it. I'm actually really happy with my white section right now :P Whip: Expensive, but that's a hell of a lot of inevitability, and (probably) the means to get there. I'm more worried about it being oppressive than good, but...

Well the one on Vapor Snag is if you cast it on your own creature, but mostly it's an upside.

Wait, like actually unwinnable? Not save scum until you can unwinnable?

It sure makes the card better, but I'm not sure it makes it worth it :P Those 1 land + glaciers hands are always so loose. Maybe you do the maze of ith/gaea's cradle deckbuilding technique, where it's not really a land? It's possible I've just been doing it wrong all these years

I like it personally, but I'm one of those weirdos who still runs hinder. Way better than dissipate in a vacumn, FWIW. Scry 1 is a more universal rider on otherwise playable spells just like the "lose 1 life" rider from NPH. Shame they kinda learned their lesson, and unsummon + rider is U1...

Love me some supermurder as well :P I think in cube, Negate/Spell Piece might be better than Swan Song (Unfortunatly) but I'm interested to see if thats a thing in legacy. I don't know if enchantment is enough upside on flusterstorm to merit the switch. (Plus hard counter yadda yadda yadda)...

My beef with anthems is they're only good in token decks, not in other aggro decks. You can play Glorious Anthem in a WW deck, but it's not that great (It probably was a few years back) The rest of them are too restrictive or too expensive. Creature style anthems don't really count because...

Holding up that much mana to reciprocate doesn't seem that great in much other than a control deck, where the anthemn would be bad. Sadly, being an artifact is a huge downside, since now it opens up red as a color that can answer it as well, let alone the viridian shaman crew. Also for those...

Also: Would you play a GG1 4/2 Flash? I dunno, I might...

I'll admit white certainly has it's glut. Elspeth, Ajani, x2 Armageddon, Wrath/Day... I've always found the creatures to be more interchangeable, since bloody nothing emulates walkers or Armageddon, but the exact difference between hero of bladehold and emeria angel is by inches at best. Blue...

This is of course fine if you consider anthemn to be a good magic card (Which I do not)

Horrible :P

I will say that since you choose the piles and they choose the cards it's patently worse (Since relying on your opponent to make an uninformed decision about the cards you want is easy) But then again, RU is kinda a wasteland right now, so maybe it gets played anyways. Worse or not, it's totally...

Part of my thing is that if you don't use cycles for everything, you're pigeonholing a color pair into a deck type (Slightly sure, but still) since if there's a RW painland, there's less likely to be a RW control deck. The horizon canopies were my attempt to find another cycle both aggro and...

What are people's thoughts on the scry lands? I love the idea of that much decision going into a land drop, but I'm sad they ETB tapped. Currently I have these: Shock/Fetch/Fetch/Dual Filter Horizon Canopy I kinda wanna swap out the canopies, but I'm not sure if this is the right swap.

Which ones? :P

The above "cheating" works like this: Activate Glaciers in the middle of your opponent's end step Since "end of turn" effects have already triggered, thawing glaciers will bounce during your end of turn untap and activate it again. Add Garruk Wildspeaker for fun and profit. Honestly, I...

I'm down with omenspeaker. Auger of Bolas never really lit it up for me, and the day they give blue wall of blossoms I'll gladly make the switch, but I think she seems good. Need more non 2/1's anyways. And yes, I could just double up on Ludvik's Test Subject, but that seems boring.
