Having been away for some days, I'm just gonna jump in on this line. I'll give everything due attention later, but skimming through this jumped out as something worth acknowledging right away. I don't think tstorm agrees with any kind of verbal dealmaking. If that's not what he's saying then he shou...

I feel like there's a strong resistance to hypotheticals for some reason, and it drives me nuts. Stop trying to worm out of the big questions with appeals to the specific. Because your hypotheticals are exceptions not representative of normal circumstances. Nobody should be basing their every game ...

There's no way to NOT kingmake. If you stp P2, you give the win to p3. If you stp p3, you give the win to p2. If you do nothing, you give the win to p2. You have the result of the game in your hands, and either way you play it, you're digging your own grave. There's no way to avoid that without a m...

Well, so is throwing the game because someone refused to make a deal with you, in order to show that you mean business and incentivize them to accept your deals in the future. I don't think you do mean business, I think it's empty threats to shake people down. But if you do this, people shouldn't p...

"the objective right play is for you to stop the combo" No, it isn't. It makes no difference. Yes, it is. If you think it's ever right to throw the game this turn because you'll probably lose next turn, you're not playing to win. Period. No exceptions. Throwing the game is never ever ever...

Imo, leave elegance for the ballet. I came here to win. Or at least, to play correctly and give it my best shot, not hold back because it's "inelegant". I'm not talking about holding back, I'm talking about social strategy that extends beyond the immediate turn. No idea why any of this wo...

Now that's a hot take. I kinda get where you're coming from on the first bit, but how exactly do you figure the second part? Say you're p1 at 10, p3 has a 10/10 unblockable, you have stp, and p2 tries to combo off with mike+trike or something. How exactly are you supposed to not lose unless you can...

In other news... I bought a house in the suburbs. Since I am no longer to make it to FNM, most of my magic has been inviting friends over to draft and play commander... but now that may be ending because most of them do not drive. Makes me sad I was gonna say that I drive places, but Canada is a bi...

People who are bad at multiplayer strategy are liabilities.
People who need to make verbal deals are doing politics badly.
This player is public enemy number one moving forward until proven otherwise.

Astral Slide, cycle twice.

I decided to try a Smothering Tithe in the deck. Oh my.... Oh my, my....... Saying the card overperformed is quite an understatement. With so many "everyone draws" permanents, as well as cards like Time Spiral and Temporal Cascade, one time I was able to put more than 50 Treasure tokens o...

Best combo I can think of with Deathbellow War Cry is: 1. Get Morophon, the Boundless , Kragma Warcaller , any other minotaur, and Changeling Titan 2. Changeling Titan champions the random minotaur, say Boros Reckoner . 3. Swing with your three minotaurs, for a total of 23 damage. Boom, busted comb...

Well, Underworld Sentinel is just about as conveniently formatted for Olivia, Mobilized for War as possible.

The fear that the community has been split is not unwarranted, but I would not phrase it as "we've split the community in half". Salvation was scheduled to close down (not by the community), in the lead up to that time limit, the website was completely down at some point enough to have me ...

I think I prefer this to bigger mana ramp spells that just ramp. It's not hard to be in a position where you can bounce or Crucible something like Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx and do way more with one extra land drop than something like 3 basics . Basically on rate card draw spell that can be situationall...

I am here. Somewhere.

Wasn't there a thing on Sally about RCotD needing to be A) not something previously selected and B) not a vanilla creature or creature with only evergreen keywords? Like we don't need bears, but we also don't need to discuss Giant Spider. For the most part, that's how I ran it. There were a few tim...

I signed myself up for Commandfest DC next week, so now's as good a time as any to hammer out some details in my decks, especially my favorite deck here. Comparing what I've been up to must recently with the deck in the first post, I've mentioned most of the changes previously. The wizard package ha...

I do think it's fallen down in the rankings though - partly because better five drop creatures have been printed, and partly because decks tend to be more synergistic. I've tested it out in a few decks, but it always ended up getting cut in favor of cards that worked better with my own deck. It's a...

I drive a minivan. But I very much look forward to seeing Tesla Trucks around.

Can the collection tracker track down my playset of Grand Architects? Cause I'm pretty sure they get dumped into a draft leftovers box by accident, and I'm scared to look.

Past In Flames could be a cool one to be able to reuse instant/sorcery combo pieces should the first attempt not work out. Edit: completely misread madness for flashback, haha. It's something I've been considering though. That's the power of wishful thinking. Flashback has sweet cards. Madness is a...

This is one of the most interesting and creative deck lists/concepts I've ever seen. I can sense the years of tinkering and madness within it.

Thank you!

(I may have just done a gatherer search for all the on color madness cards, just in case one fits).

I don't see much benefit to running it even if it did read that way (with a trigger). About all we could do is steal a land (which is okay). We couldn't draw cards cards with it using Zedruu's upkeep trigger. If it was a separate triggered ability that triggers when the last counter is removed, you...

The rules prevent me from playing this in Zedruu. It's almost formatted perfectly that you could make a mana and then donate it before sacrificing and leave someone with a land of yours that doesn't make mana, but unfortunately the sacrifice is built into the mana ability, and you can't respond to a...
