I agree with a couple of the things Johnny said, especially on the number of creatures in the deck. As much as you may want to play it as a combo deck, it is...
... In the past, I have run a deck I often called UN (as in United Nations). It was just a fun deck but is was White Blue and used the Hermetic Crab combo. I...
... Hey. The first part of this combo can be pulled of using just Seeker of Skybreak + Seizure. That will make it only a 4 card combo, although we're now...
... Erm... Never mind. The Seeker's ability is not a mana ability and won't resolve before the Seizure's trigger ability would. That's what I get for...
Well just for stuff and giggles I tested the combo on apprentice. I droped the Multani's Harmony and used Gauntlets of Chaos to transfer the Crabs over, High...
Here are some of the cards that are rumored for the next set that I think I like for PEZ: Wing Shards - Instant (uncommon) Target player sacrifices an...
Here are some of the new ones I like: Daru Spiritualist – 1W Creature - Cleric (common) Whenever a Cleric becomes the target of a spell or ability, it gets ...
... Lingering Death - 1B Enchant Creature (common) The controller of enchanted creature sacrifices it at the end of his turn. I like this for the simple reason...
I noticed that Aggro/Control Black has received a large number of votes on the poll of Tier 1 decks. I have found that the hardest part of building the deck is...
Jason - For your non-creature build, what would/could you substitute for the Sinkholes? I'm not looking to invest $40 in an entire deck, much less four cards!...
I want to congratulate the Council for doing just about exactly what I would have done...eliminate the very high dollar cards in keeping with the spirit of the...
I would suggest Choking Sands or Rancid Earth but builds with Cabal Coffers or high land counts may prefer Befoul. Alternately, because Sink Hole is not a...
I think we've mentioned Oubliette before. It can't deal with Blastoderm, but it is otherwise extremely good, and might be worth considering. Both decks could ...
A couple comments - first, the changes we have already made to the deck have moved it back outside of Aggro/Control and into the realm of MBC (which is where...
Something that I've always wondered about is this...is a sixty-card deck "perfectly sized", or does everyone use a sixty-card deck in tournaments because it is...
Because we cannot yet cheat probability, the smallest deck size is almost always the way to go. The fewer cards in the deck the better your chance of pulling...
... I agree with Jason from a mathematical perspective. Smaller decks are always more consistent based on probability of draws, however sometimes a bigger...
Considering that Aggro/Control Black is tied for the best T1 deck in the poll I think some people out there have more to share. . .please post more about this...
Just a couple of comments on the new article... WotC now has an official Sourge card list in HTML format, so you can verify the accuracy of the MTGNews spoiler...
Turbo-Mate, a deck list will be in my next article which I will typr up this weekend. Basically the deck consists of 8-10 creatures, 4 Exhume and 0-2...
Yep, Pros-Tides has a lot going for it but the deck also has a dirty little secret - it doesn't always win even if the opponent does nothing. Granted it can...
What's MBC? I don't find it anywhere over the net. (Did not search for long, though.) BTW, how about maintaining a FAQ about those stupid questions? Couldn't...
What is RTFM? Anyway, MBC stands for Mono Black Control. Basically this is the deck that I played last year at Gen Con (along with many others). Try looking...
Okay, I'll bite HTH? BTW, is RTFM really a useful comment for Magic players? Most of us are men, although this is changing, and we all know men will never read...
Fellow Peasants, There will be a Peasant Tournament in Los Angeles on June 1 (information below; Scourge is Legal!). Hope to see you there! Johnny Lai ... ...
