If you wanna win in EDH, play Our Great Parun I. Nothing says "win" like a combo in your face!
In other news:
I've been playing The Judge lately, and it's been working pretty well. The combos in it don't work too well without obcene amounts of draw. The Consecrated Sphinx works well if it resolves, but Azami is a mainstay (unfortunately) in our playgroup. I've got Deep Analysis, Mulldrifter (which is great with Venser, the Sojourner if able), and Rhystic Study in there. Can anybody recommend any good draw spells, creatures, or enchantments (the magic fish isn't really that worth it...)? I don't really like pay X cards, like Stroke of Genius, because I don't have mana doublers or any other way to really make such cards worth it. But I'm open to suggestions. =]
Cheers!
Nice!!
Since we're on the topic of EDH, that's all I play these days. I've totally ditched Standard and such, and have just been devouring this new format. I currently am building a Teneb, the Harvister and Numot, the Devistator list. I already have a Ixidor list that is buckets of fun (you can see the link in my signature). I've also been working on a Thread about Dragons norin Commander. Basically writing, being lazy, and watch Supernatural all day has consisted of this break so far

Yar. It's a pretty sweet format. I've been playing it pretty much exclusively for the last 2 years or so, and I'm working on my fourth serious deck. It's Glissa Stax, so I'm bringing some major hate. Winter Orb eat your heart out!
It was at that moment that I realized: I'm kinda just making these things up. We can just write the rules the way we want them to work. People will have fun, and people will get it.

Naturally. The only thing I don't like is that is works better as a Gruul spell. Surely one of our chemisters would have discovered a similar principle?

The grull cast spells to deal damage, we cast spells to cast more spells
I always wanted a replicate spell that was a fireball with just a flat replicate cost, like;
FissionateXR
Instant (R)
Fissionate deals X damage to target creature or player.
Replicate 1R

I'm incredibly excited that not only is Gideon mono-white (and cheap--only 4CMC), but also fantastically amazing. Soo happy!
Gruul probably has the best mechanic in the set, I think. Creatures that can be cast as pump spells for their power, toughness, and abilities? Yes, please. It works perfectly,too, because it's Gruul, one of the most aggressive color combos...and it likes to do cheap damage.
I wouldn't call him bad. I also wouldn't call him good though. He doesn't really fill the shoes Jura left, but he looks like he could have some uses in Standard at least.
Design is tending to favor creatures at the moment. INN was all about creatures all the time. The new Ravnica block is a good mix of creatures and spells. Gideon's + puts him at 5 at least. Getting extra loyalty counters not only makes it harder to kill him but also should be considered somewhat of a bonus. His 0 is even better than before because he's indestructible, and his ultimate is, like with all planeswalkers, a luxury. Here's another way to see it:
T4. Drop Gideon. Since it's turn 4, you can expect an opponent to have played a creature each turn or so, so there's, say, 3 creatures that your opponent has. These creatures are probably smallish since it's early game. Anyways! +1 him = Gideon is at 8, which is what Jura was at when you +ed him. Sure, you don't make anyone attack, but being that much closer to 15 pretty much incites that anyways. I'd say he is similar enough to Jura that he's still Gideon but different enough to be new (and improved!).
That's for standard anyways. In EDH, he's still useful, but not everyone does the heavy aggro.
The cardpool is more stable, though, so you're not spending hundreds for a new deck every few months. :3
As far as the pre-release is concerned, I'm playing Boros. I want that Gideon! Plus, battalion is viable with that hasty goblin. (Goblins, ftw!) Plus, Aurelia is a beast and there's a better chance of pulling one in the guild booster.

I'm unfortunately not hungover this morning. Took a nap in the evening and didn't wake up until after it was no longer 2012.
Did everyone see the new Legendary creatures (among other things) spoiled last night? Set looks pretty sweet so far.

This is the best card spoiled so far, not close.

The best card.
I'll probably play. Going Gruul or Boros, haven't decided 100% yet. It's going to be a mountain guild no matter what though.
Also, going to GP ATC tomorrow!

Not that EDH is much better

On a less sad note, congrats, MOON-E! You're the new Apprentice of Frontier Knowledge!
