    Shadowmoor Previews

    I like it. Mainly because it's not a rare but an uncommon, but also because it's so close to demonic tutor. I like black decks with silver bullets, and this is more than decent outside of the vintage format. I might even be bothered to build a standard deck!

    Let's Break Toshiro Umezawa

    Toshi is one of the few cards out of Kamigawa block that I have a playset of. I always buy some sets from a new set, with the idea "oooh, nice to buid a deck with!". Toshi+varchild's war-riders+plaguespitter+scythe of the wretched+neko-te+bottle gnomes+corpse dance. As it turns out, you can't...

    Hell's Caretaker

    Well, Gifts ungiven is a form of graveyard dump. BTW, I'd sooner use doomed necromancer instead of the caretaker. But I'm probably biased since I own 4 'mancers and no caretakers ;)

    MBC for M-P Format

    If you really want to beat the crap out of them, play pox. That's probably the most efficient discard spell. If you play heavy discard, you can be assured to draw attention. Besides that you still need to cope with the threats that come through. The one-ofs like chainer's edict and the sinkhole...

    Magic "Good Guys" vs.

    I like to be a jerk when someone misspells a latin phrase. It's "mea culpa" ;) Anyway, sometimes being a jerk can help others become better players. As long as you use "You can't do that because..." instead of "You can't do that. Judge!" that is. If you have to make sure people don't tap...

    Goblin Deck or Goblin Mess?

    That is... a lot of cards. I'm getting dizzy through all the numbers, but I think the top listing says enough: 30 mountains? A deck is more consistent if it contains just 60 cards. As a rule of thumb, go for 24 lands. Sword of fire and ice is mean v.s. a red deck. Your only chance is to race...

    Show and Tell

    Isn't SaT a sideboard card for reanimator decks? If you want to make a deck with it, that sounds a good way to go. With SaT "backup" you can get by any graveyard hate. The threat count should go up though. Try gilded drake or similar effects. In the end it's about the same as trying to get...

    Your Favorite Card Nickname(s)

    Obv. the nick I remember using longest is the simple "hippy" for hypnotic specter. I mean, the guy even has a pony tail... I also like to sing a song when playing "stitch together": "Let's stitch together, right now, oh yeah, in sweet harmony...". Unfortunately, I have no clue what band plays...
