MTG Salvation

Quote from Morphling

Well this is..unexpected.

Was it really five (whole) years though? That can't be right. Really?

if you count the various gimmick dodge attempts it is less

edit: room with a moose etc

i don't own any modern staples but i agree with wizards' theory that the influx of new players will keep the values of modern staples stable

i think this strategy could win at an fnm but at a gp or pt it is too easily hated

they do two different things...i don't understand the question

maybe fun in casual but definitely not a playable combo in constructed. too overcosted and easily hated

it's great in draft, prob won't see much play otherwise

probably the enchant land that taps to make a creature hasty

it's a lot better than people originally realized. i don't think it is worth $50 tho..

I doubt affinity will be back in a playable form. I think they learned their lesson last time

Coiling oracle is fine. one of my favorite cards

I hope they reprint doubling season!!!

I took mono red to 2-0-1 top 2. Beat elves and faires and drew with fairies cause there was no point in playing. One of the easiest tournies of my life...my matches took a total of 26 minutes.

Got into University of MN, University of Wis-Madison and waiting on Brandeis and U Penn...I'll probably end up at Madison but we'll see.

It's not the 4 life from riftwatcher that wins the game, it's the 4 life+3 life they save from blocking a marauder/eating a burn spell+a blink or lark or venser turning it into 8, 12, or 16 life.

Barbs was too slow in testing. I run lash out md because it is good in general but esp good vs riftwatcher and it still isn't enough.
