Played this deck last night and was immediately pressured by an aggro deck. In order to stave off the token swarm, I sacrificed Su-Chi to Scrapyard Recombiner and used the mana to rush out Ugin, the Spirit Dragon. Well, that bought another deck time to build up toward totally taking over the...

Since I still hadn't taken this deck apart, I finally dragged it back out for a game last night. I built up a modest army of ally tokens and got to see Khârn the Betrayer wheel around the table a few times. On the turn before one of my opponents was about to wipe us all out, I managed to cast...

Tried this one again last night. Of course, it couldn't keep up. In this case, I managed to temporarily protect myself from aggro by putting Pariah on a Stuffy Doll. But the dominant opponent I targeted with Stuffy Doll simply saved me for last. Despite initially complaining that nothing in his...

Played this deck last night. I was in a spot where I really needed either Constant Mists or Spike Weaver. I found neither. Made 22 worms with Worm Harvest, but died to an opponent's Overwhelming Stampede on the following turn.

This deck finally won a game last night. I was under a lot of pressure and my goblins kept getting picked off, but I managed to cast Patriarch's Bidding, which brought back Boggart Harbinger and General Kreat, the Boltbringer. I already had Conspicuous Snoop on the field, so that let me put...

After another sad game of durdling and not finding a way to set up Barren Glory, I decided to force it. Instead of taking the boring route and using Sun Titan + False Demise + Altar of Dementia to mill my opponents out, I milled myself, cast Auriok Salvagers, looped LED for the "Bomberman"...

This deck keeps winning. I popped off with Squandered Resources into Lumra, with Icetill Explorer putting in a lot of work yet again. Truly a Magic card. One of my opponent used a board wipe, but I rebuilt from my graveyard with Genesis, Life from the Loam, and Worm Harvest. Got hit by another...

Tried this deck out twice on Wednesday night, but not also kinda not really. When I brought it out for its first game, one of my two opponents was running a powerful Giada deck and just stomped on both of us before we could do anything. He cast an Angel of Jubilation before I could get a single...

This deck earned a second victory. It was touch-and-go for a bit there, but Zuran Orb gave me an outlet to keep filling my graveyard up with lands for Lluwen to make more worms, while Conduit of Worlds and Exploration Broodship let me keep recurring Aftermath Analyst. Constant Mists protected me...

Played this deck on Wednesday. Although I lost as usual, it was a funny game. This was the second actual game of Magic for one of the players, who brought a precon (he had prior experience with other trading card games). Since it was mentioned that this player was new and that a deck that was...

I was going to play this one on Wednesday, but I held off initially because there was a new player at the table, and only got two games in. Next time...

One year ago, WotC published the announcement for the "Beta" rollout of the Commander Format Panel's "Bracket System." For some time now, I've been contemplating the idea of an "anniversary rant" breaking down my qualms with this system. As I'd originally envisioned it, I'd go through the...

I've been running with Pashalik Mons for a while and I thought black/red goblins might be a fun change of pace. That's about it. Commander: 1 Grub, Storied Matriarch 1 Ancient Tomb 1 Arid Mesa 1 Ashnod's Altar 1 Badlands 1 Basilisk Collar 1 Beetleback Chief 1 Blood Crypt 1 Bloodline Bidding 1...

I had a good game going with this deck, swinging in with tokens from Goblin Rabblemaster and General Kreat. But one of my opponents popped off with some combo and killed the table. Oh, I remember now. I was a Prossh deck with Food Chain. Yep. Can't really outrace that with this deck.
