    Is there any way you can number the cards when you "View as a checklist?" I'd like to use it to simulate Momir games, because the name is all that's needed, but it lists the results in terms of 1000s which makes counting impossible.

    Quote from UNBAN SHAHRAZAD
    I like running red with Underworld Dreams. You get Wheel of Fortune, Winds of Change, and plenty of burn to get the combo up and running. Lesser cards include Burning Inquiry, Incendiary Command, and Memory Jar. But the best combo piece for Underworld is Dark Ritual. It's a must have 4-of.



    Psychosis Crawler is pretty sick.

    Quote from Paq
    Thanks everyone. I'm mostly worried because this is the very first time I've had something shipped to me from Canada without registered mail or insurance. I've done a ton of transactions without a problem and so I decided to save some money. Hopefully murphy's law doesn't bite


    I've shipped over the border at least 100 times, never using registered mail. I've received packages from Arkansas in 4 days and had to wait 16 days for a package from Syracuse. I can drive to Syracuse in about 6 hrs, LOL.

    The only issue I've had ever had to do with Canada Post was because a trader packaged the cards poorly, and wouldn't you know it, they were also Canadian. Smile

    Just tonight I sacrificed Saffi (my general, too!) because she had been enchanted with Pattern of Rebirth. You can send her to the graveyard, if that's your goal.

    Technically, no.

    But it's not a sanctioned format. If you built it and sleeved it up I'd play against you. I think many would. Others may not; keep an alternate commander handy in case.

    Quote from Sophomoros
    Can somebody explain how the Threaten combo works? For some reason I can't wrap my head around it.


    You have Bazaar Trader in play.

    You cast Threaten on their creature.

    Trader's text: "{T}: Target player gains control of target artifact, creature, or land you control."

    You target the creature you threatened; you gain control of it. The "combo" is that Trader's effect doesn't end EOT or ever; so when Threaten's effect wears off, you retain control of the creature you took.

    Small sample size proves nothing, sadly. Not to be rude, but your results wouldn't be relevant unless you opened 1000+ packs in Illinois, and then 1000+ packs in Indiana.

    You have a one in 150 chance of opening a specific mythic (or something along those lines.) Opening a mythic in one pack doesn't mean your next won't contain the same mythic. Different packs don't remember what you've already opened.

  • posted a message on [MBS] any good combos yet ?
    Lux Cannon]+Gemstone Array for Myr Welder?

    I guess infinite mana in standard is more impressive, but assembling something that says {T} (6) Vindicate is pretty sweet.

    Quote from Avan
    Not sure how hardcore you are going with this "all basic lands ever printed", but the alternate border 8th editions lands will be hard to get and expensive.


    Do you just mean foil lands from that set? They're available for like .40 cents apiece.

    I know it has something to do with D&D, but what are the specifics? Why 'cantrip?' Why is this answer so elusive?

  • posted a message on [SCD] Garruk's Packleader
    It's pretty sick in my Rhys the Redeemed deck. Any two anthems (or Tolsimir or Knight of New Alara) means I draw for each Elf I make. Which can be a lot.

    It's better than Kavu Lair. Triggers on 3 power instead of 4, so I can draw more often; and Lair is symmetrical, which can sometimes get you. It's not as good as Greater Good or Skullclamp for drawing, but it's better than the one shot effects like Harmonize and Momentous Fall.

  • posted a message on What's the value of your EDH deck?
    It's definitely a format that reflects the value of our total collections: If you have 1x Arena foil land, you're unlikely to put it in a Constructed deck otherwise...

    If you didn't have that Arena foil land, you'd be unlikely to acquire it "just for" your EDH deck; you'd probably get it because you wanted it.

  • posted a message on Portal 1 & 2 Basic Lands
    I didn't notice until long after M11 draft season was over, but the Portal 1 Island Pic 4 was in M11 packs. Gorgeous in the old frame, looks half as good in the new. Shame.

  • posted a message on Etiquette When Borrowing a Deck
    Borrowing a reasonably complete legacy deck this weekend. The owner will be on site the entire time, so it's not as big a leap as some decklends can be.

    I've never borrowed a deck with valuable cards in it before. If and when you lend out a deck, how do you expect your friend to behave with it? What things will annoy you, and maybe most importantly, what will encourage you to lend a deck again?

    Chronatog
    Chronomantic Escape

    If Escape has resolved, can I skip multiple turns, hiding behind an effect like Chronatog's or other similar cards? Does Escape have an opportunity to acknowledge my turn at all?
