I've been toying with starting a regular PEZ tournament in the Kansas City area as soon as I'm done with student teaching in May. As I've been looking through...
Great question. I've been thinking about this myself. There are other options to changing the format's rules: There are common sac lands that come into play...
That sounds like a great idea. If I were doing this, I'd do it with proxies, and I'd allow off color pain-lands as well as on-color (i.e., Ice Age and...
I LIKE IT! This is the kind of idea that comes along very rarely, and yet sets one to thinking very hard. Dual Lands are Rare, and so not allowed at all in...
Here is an idea that I've been toying with and refining for awhile. It's based on a very old post (the hermetic crab deck). Here is my current build Creatures ...

There are at least two issues that this brings up: 1. If proxies of dual lands are permitted, why not proxies of all expensive cards? And if proxies are...
I agree that proxies should probably be avoided. It might be something to try, but I would have to be convinced personally. As for the "real" dual lands, I...
You guys might appreciate this list, of some absolutely horrible tap- pain-lands. These come into play tapped AND they do a point of damage to you anytime...
why dont we change the peasant rules to 10 uncommons and 50 commons instead of trying to bulldoze a couple of really high end dual lands in and trying to...
Here are some of my thoughts... Dual Lands? No way. Too much money! I don't like the thought of the expensive Peasant decks coming back like a few years...
... it ... remain) ... Just in case this question hasn't been answered ... Dual lands were deemed an error in the design process, once Wizards realized that...
I'm a fan of 8 uncommons myself... and pez COULD always just change strip mine to "restricted" status if people are so scared that the higher uncommon limit...
I have to admit that I would be opposed to raising the number of uncommons allowed. Granted, 5 is kind of annoying. But it leads to some very creative...
I have thought some more about proxy cards, and I have one real good reason against allowing them as part of the "official" rules. At GenCon last year, Wizrds...
With most in agreement that Pro-tides, Elfclamp, Iso-burn (combo, combo-esque or burn decks respectively) are among the best decks in PEZ it is time for...
... High land count? 22 land is definitely not high. I've played a few games with this deck since you posted it, and I've never been sad to see a land. It's ...
You are right, 22 is not that high for control. 4 Impulse and 4 Brainstorm do make the land count feel like more thoguh. Mishras are a good idea. Admittedly...
Have you considered using Force Spike as some of your counterspells? Most other peasant decks will run their mana very tight, so they won't allow even one...
Demonic Tutor is really great. I think it's worth considering Merchant Scroll to serve pretty much the same purpose, while freeing up an uncommon slot (for, ...
I love Merchant Scroll. I included them when I tried to make this deck Mono-Blue but went with the Demonic Tutor when adding black. Fact or Fiction was another...
It looks like a truly fearsome deck. Obviously, Mana Leak is a powerful choice, but control decks take a long time to win - which means the Leaks lose their...
One, I am very much against making the old style duals PEZ legal for any reason. As has already been said, duals are an expensive status symbol that provide a...
I seem to be one of the people who said the most "pro-duals" statement, so let me clarify: I believe the thing the Peasant format needs most is more...
While my most recent article on pojo.com is a little bit of a wet blanket (and not focused on card advantage theory as the tag line indicates) there is a great...
Yeah, it's like a Blitzkrieg of PEZ articles! There are usually the most submission articles on Thursdays, so hopefully we'll have a bunhc of Pz articles to...
I believe that as it stands, pez is a pretty stale format as there is a certain lack of innovation when it comes to deck ideas. I mean, sure it isn't AS BAD as...
