Despite using Land Tax to keep my hand full of discard fodder and drawing lots of extra cards, I got pretty stuck with this deck last night and should have lost. Despite my deck's failings, two of my opponents successfully stopped the third from dominating the game, eventually picking him off...

Played this deck again for the first time in a while. My enchantments got hit by Austere Command with the worst possible timing. I probably could have locked the game down if I'd played a little bit differently here. Oops.

Tried the new list again, I was able to eliminate one opponent with a souped up Danitha Capashen, but I couldn't pull it off a second time.

Played this last night. Tried to set up a potential combo turn with creatures, but the board got wiped the turn before I went for it. So I took my time, set up a storm combo turn for Mind's Desire, then stormed off and killed the table with Tendrils of Agony.

Played this deck again. This time All Hallow's Eve allowed an opponent to set up a graveyard that won with damaging EtB triggers. The pirates put up a fight, but they were outgunned.

I had to do a deck for Sol'kanar at some point. Originally, I had this whole plan of spamming a bunch of black spells to gain life, stuff like Blood Pet. But I'm lazy and about to turn 40 and I'm just throwing together this weird combo deck that is kind of high-power but also not actually very...

Why do I even keep following Legacy as a format? Is it just inertia for having been invested in the format for the past 21 years? Is it that unbanning Mind's Desire somehow bought more of my interest? Is it that I just love to complain about WotC? If it's that last one, they sure are giving me...

There was an archetype in Legacy, now mostly forgotten, known as Death Loam. These days, searching for it online annoyingly turns up some sources regarding the new card "Afterlife from the Loam." It also sometimes get conflated with the "Loam Pox" archetype, but Death Loam was specifically built...

Won another game with this deck. I really do like some of the new Edge of Eternities cards, but I have to consider this a failed experiment. The deck has primarily succeeded by exploiting a dearth of land destruction at most tables, so that Glacial Chasm protects it while it gradually builds up...

So much for worrying that this deck would be too strong. I managed to get my commander and Crystalline Crawler onto the field. I had a method to draw extra cards. They were mostly lands. I died to some broken combo after failing to find any kind of credible threat or answer.

Tried this deck again on Wednesday night. Never saw the new cards, but it didn't matter. I managed to get three lands onto the battlefield and cast a single spell: Ardenn, Intrepid Archaeologist. Then one of my opponents cast Doomsday Excruciator and there went my library. Aren't the new cards fun?

Well, I tried the updated version of the deck, but got manascrewed. Aether Vial gave me some initial help getting goblins onto the field, but it got blown up and I was stuck on three lands with a bunch of four-drops in my hand for too long. Oh well.
