After a long game last night, I botched some lines of play and wasn't able to win. Well, I had a winning board state, but I passed the turn and let the opponent with 9 life activate Halo Fountain for the win. It was a good game, but also the second time this deck had to operate under Mornsong...

Played this deck last night. The board state stalled for a while, and eventually the suite of abilities granted to all of my creatures by Krang gave me the edge I needed to swing in for lethal damage on my opponents. I emerged battered, but victorious.

Played this deck on Saturday after a cube draft in a 3-man pod. I managed to use Cowardice + Rhystic Deluge just in time to stop a spirits tribal deck from running over the rest of the table. From there I was able to pull some stuff off, but eventually ran out of tricks and was stuck in topdeck...

Last night, I kept an opening hand with five lands, then kept topdecking more lands. I used Time Spiral with eight cards in my hand, just because nothing in my hand was doing anything anyway. On the turn before one of my opponents was about to kill us all, I cast Cataclysm, buying some time. I...

Played this deck in yet another game where it was completely outclassed. One of my opponents was playing a very high power-level deck. Didn't stand a chance.

Somehow, this deck actually won another game. I kept an opening hand with Thawing Glaciers and just barely managed to get enough defense to protect myself from the occasional attacks swung my way as my opponents focused on each other. There was a lot of back-and-forth, but my grindy Simic...

I got to take this into its first game last night. I was outclassed by everyone else at the table, but got to have a bit of fun messing with them anyway. I even managed to kill Visara the Dreadful with Earthbind.

Back in 2019, one of my decks built for the West Coast Commander League was helmed by Gosta Dirk and crammed full of cards to attempt to fulfill special point categories for the League. One of the point categories involved causing creatures to gain flying, so I threw in Predator, Flagship and a...

In an analysis where I called out so many of my own old takes as being dubious, I'm going to have to admit, just a few years later, that I am finding some of my own comments to exhibit the same problem. I don't intend to fully review the whole thread. At least not yet. But since I happened to...

Thread necromancy! I was looking for something else and accidentally found this instead. Anyway... I have to contradict 25-year-old Oversoul on this one. He was young and stupid. Or perhaps more diplomatically, I have seen players get a lot of mileage from Starke of Rath in EDH. Looking it up...

Played this deck for my final game on Wednesday night. It actually got off to a decent start, but stalled out and never recovered after one of the various board wipes that hit the table in this game.

On Wednesday night, I played this deck twice. First game was looking pretty good for what I'd expect out of the deck, but both of my two opponents were operating at a much higher power level than me and quickly killed me way before I could defend myself. They duked it out against each other...

There are three blue cards that swap control of lands (Political Trickery, Shifting Borders, and Vedalken Plotter). There are also some lands that can be activated such that they will not remain in the possession of the player they are traded to (Thawing Glaciers, Undiscovered Paradise, Rainbow...

After I flubbed my first attempt at teaming up with three other players to face a Zombie Horde deck, I tried again with this one. Initially, I was contributing the least because the Horde kept managing to kill my creatures before I could untap with them. My teammates carried my dead weight for a...

Played this deck in a special game against a "Horde" deck. It was a poor choice for multiple reasons. I'd forgotten how many of the cards in this deck care about "opponents" specifically, not just players. So a lot of the cards I'd imagined might be used to help my team were just dead. Also, we...
