Might as well write another takedown of yet another stupid explanation by Carmen Klomparens... Blatantly pushed Modern Horizons cards flooding the format and wrecking the old metagame, while cool cards that should have been unbanned years ago and were banned in a totally different era languish...

Well, it's been over a decade since the last time I played Undercity Informer in Legacy, but I still have fond memories of that, and All Spells was always a Legacy deck I wanted to keep in my back pocket, so to speak. But WotC can't help themselves: the era of ignoring Legacy completely is long...

Brought out the Ghoul deck again for the last game of Wednesday night. Despite facing a scary number of tokens generated by that pesky Evangel of Heliod again, and despite having to burn through Prismatic Strands (the card of the evening, apparenlty) I was able to grind out a close win with...

Other than the Wombat deck ,this is the one that needs the most adjustment. My Iridescent Drake deck got stuck in its first game because most of my tools to control problem creatures were auras, and I was facing an opponent with Neurok Stealthsuit. Even though he expended resources taking down...

In this deck's first game it landed a big turn with Empty the Warrens for 16 goblin tokens. I didn't know which opponent to focus, and ended up either in a kingmaker position or possibly just choosing wrong. Killed one opponent, but the other bought time with Prismatic Strands and flew over my...

I was really excited to try this deck out because it's probably my second favorite PDH deck after the Khabal Ghoul deck. Well, I got ran over by a token swarm super early. My friend built a deck helmed by Evangel of Heliod and it popped off. Defensive capabilities of this deck might need to be...

On Wednesday night this week, I got five PDH games, so I managed to get a game in with each of my new decks for that format, albeit in a pod of only three players. This one was first. It was rough. In this deck's first outing, it only ever drew Bequeathal as an aura to put on the commander and...

Changed Mountains to Snow-Covered Mountains for Thermopod (technically, I'm too lazy to pull the snow lands from my regular EDH decks, so we're actually split 25/9 between snow and non-snow at the moment, but that will change). Added sticker sheet deck for the Unfinity goblin. I'd forgotten to...

Of course I was going to build a Rabid Wombat deck. Commander: 1 Rabid Wombat 1 Aggressive Instinct 1 Ancestral Mask 1 Ashnod's Altar 1 Aura Gnarlid 1 Avoid Fate 1 Beastmaster's Magemark 1 Bequeathal 1 Bite Down 1 Bramble Elemental 1 Broken Fall 1 Cartouche of Strength 1 Cultivate 1 Dawn's...

I wanted to try to make Ruby Storm in Pauper EDH. This is my take on that. I forgot that Grinning Ignus was originally printed at common and not uncommon. While it is legal as a commander in the format, this now feels awkward. I'll mess around with this one and see whether I keep it or turn it...

Iridescent Drake is one of my favorite cards. So when I got into Pauper EDH, I knew I had to build a deck helmed by this thing. Mono-blue auras don't pack much of a punch at common, but the core gameplan here is to set up Iridescent Drake + False Demise + Ashnod's Altar and sink that infinite...

My second Pauper EDH deck. I love Auriok Salvagers and had to try to build a deck around it. Commander: 1 Auriok Salvagers 1 Afterlife 1 Ancient Den 1 Antler Skulkin 1 Arcane Signet 1 Arcbound Mouser 1 Arcbound Prototype 1 Ash Barrens 1 Ashnod's Altar 1 Ashnod's Transmogrant 1 Barbed Sextant 1...

I occurs to me that I don't think there was any discussion of this variant at the CPA prior to me posting my first decklist. Now that I'm obsessed with Pauper EDH, I think it deserves a thread. First, the rules... This is obviously inspired by the Pauper format, a format which I've mocked...
