I have one in the deck now, but it's always dead before it gets active (it lacks haste). It costs 3 mana, so you can kill tokens on turn 4. But on turn 4 you could play, well, better cards. Sharpshooter is good with the Leyline in play, but the deck doesn't suck with the Leyline in play. And...

But then again, who plays standard, plus, "you know, that card reminds of me Old crap X that I always played together with Other crap Y" could in fact be very solid advice. The current cardpool might seem intimidating to you, yet don't underestimate the value of knowledge of old cards and their...

Actually, both. I'd rather put someone (or better, a whole table) under a lock with Tainted aether, because aggro is pretty hopeless with this pile. I'd consider any of the creatures some kind of lock, but that doesn't really work. Right now I'm thinking about something like the following...

The only card I hadn't thought of before is Mogg infestation. That's a solid trick. It does make the deck more dependable on having a permanent solution to tokens in play though. I also found Repercussion. Or better, found it again, because I did buy some Repercussions for this deck once. Also...

I have a problem. Actually, that's not true. I have two problems. Or three, with the third problem being countless other problems that I will not discuss now. The other two problems are these two: 1. I've been fascinated by Varchild's war-riders for years. Two mana for a 3/4 trampler, that's...

The answer is "yes". The vB-forum software has numerous plugins (like the rss-reader I mentioned some time ago), it only has to be installed. But why would a simple forum thread be insufficient for writing about your deck? Look at it the other way: even if you'd make an insignificant...

Well said. The card could be crap. It's a lot worse than I thought it was. Sure, 7 cards and 20 life is a nice starting point, but it doesn't save you from that 20+ power of goblins on the opponent's side of the table.

You made me laugh out loud. You should write an official set preview. Heh. In all seriousness, a pretty solid analysis. It makes more sense now to me btw: UWB world has no life, so you get artifact creatures that are color-aligned. Still, I'm not exactly thrilled.

It's a great multiplayer card. A pity it isn't legendary, it'd make a great EDH general. But I must say colored artifacts are very, very lame. IMHO, of course. Colorlessness (heh) is what defines an artifact to me.

That's the thing: there's not much discussion about decks going on. A lot of people like to talk about their pet decks, and are looking for advice. CPA could be the site where the standard answer isn't "play more tarmogoyf". The site where budget is taken into account, the site where 61 card...

Deep water.

Holy crap Batman! Wow.

Ha, then you haven't seen some of my decks ;)

The reason I stated "lands" is to show how far they can take this. A set of alternate art ravnica block duals? As long as they respect the reserve list and keep the supply small enough so it doesn't affect the secondary market of the normal versions, then they can take it very far without...

It's just hype. There are no tournament staples in the set, and the only card that is (almost) impossible to get a hold of is Thunder dragon (played in reanimator). No one needs to buy this set, but a lot of people want to buy it. At least, for $35: everywhere where you could preorder it for the...

It's a lot of money, but that's not the suggested retail price. I got my box yesterday, but I haven't unsealed it. I must admit that it looks like a great gift box!

Lazy bastards.

Wizards keeps an official visual spoiler these days, not only with the cards they preview themselves, but also with cards they let all kinds of magazines preview. These cards would end up on unofficial spoilers (like those on mtgsalvation.com) anyway. From what I see getting spoiled at CPA not...

Bizarre. I just got a message my set is in the mail. At the same time I read that starcitygames is selling the set for $100. Weird.

North star is pretty bad. But the Bands with other lands are definately the cream of the crap. They're not that bad in a deck of only legends though, but it still wastes a land drop. Within the legends set it even makes (some) sense. So North star it is: for 8 mana you can pay colorless mana...
