Despite slogging through some of the most awkward topdecks I've ever seen with this deck, I manged to end my final game last night in a draw. I kept an opening hand with Enduring Ideal. On my third turn, I cast Tempt with Bunnies and got three hits, but failed to topdeck a fourth land. Then I...

This deck was utterly demolished yet again. It ended up being almost sort of close for weird reason. I put Spirit Link on my Force of Nature and used it as an attacker, so my life total was actually kind of high. Thanks to coordinated efforts against the player with archenemy, he went all the...

This deck held out for a while again before being having me be the last player eliminated. Wall of Caltrops protected me from an Elderscale Wurm while Wall of Glare blocked the non-trampling attackers. But I didn't draw into any further protection, of course.

I tried this deck for my first game last night. It was OK, but the power at the rest of the table was too much. Tried to buy time with Wrath of God, but he cast Ripples of Potential and all of his creatures already had counters on them, so he pulled way ahead and dominated the game.

Carmen is mixing narratives a bit here. Back in March, the story from WotC was that Legacy was "emulating" a healthy format. The prior announcement had invoked the concept of a combo-prison duopoly, but WotC never actually claimed that there was a combo-prison-eldrazi triopoly before. And I...

They wrote explanations for every format this time, which shows that thought is being put into something. Unfortunately, most of the explanations themselves are bad, so there's that. I can't believe I'm saying this, but there are too many formats. Arena feels like the result of a wish I made...

Played this deck last night. One of my opponents quickly quickly set up an explosive Underworld Breach combo and was going to attempt to loop Last Wish before I got a fourth turn, but I sacrificed Mogg Fanatic to ping his Obeka, Splitter of Seconds and then sacrificed Goblin Chirurgeon and Skirk...

Played this deck last night. I might have had a somewhat decent game if I'd ever seen a single green mana. Alas, I did not. Didn't really get to do anything. One of my opponents used an engine to ping the crap out of the rest of us with Syr Konrad, the Grim. I was down to 8 life and he killed...

Despite using Land Tax every turn and drawing cards multiple times, I mostly just kept drawing lands when I played this deck last night. I couldn't get creatures on the battlefield or in my graveyard that did anything really meaningful. Still, my opponents usually couldn't hurt me much either...

Against my better judgment, I tried to play this deck in a pod that was generally too powerful for it. Despite getting an engine of Argothian Enchantress + Auratog + Rancor going early on, I didn't really draw into anything that protected me or threatened my opponents in any meaningful way, so I...

Brought this deck out for my final game last night. I keep meaning to dismantle this gimmick of a deck, as it has sort of worn out its welcome. But this pod hadn't really seen it before and actually it was a very good game. Early on, things were dominated by the same Muldrotha deck that almost...

Played this deck again. Well, I got to do stuff, but in a surreal way. I was actually pretty far behind the rest of the table for most of the game. So, Player A was winning and had kind of shut down Player C. Player B had an impressive board state, but couldn't seem to pull things together to...

Tried this deck out on Wednesday. One of my opponents became the archenemy at the table. I expressed the sentiment that if this trend continued, the guy across from him would probably take the game with his combo deck because everyone's resources were being used to contain the archenemy. Well...

Perusing the stupidly vast list of potential commander options from the Final Fantasy set, I discovered that one of them has the same name as my little brother. Well, it's got to be him, then. I then learned that Joshua here actually has an older brother and that the older brother is *also* a...
