Feb 4, 2014Elvish Sniper posted a message on Launch Giveaway!My favorite Magic Card is Survival of the Fittest. Before it was banned in legacy, I used to play it all the time - putting anger in the graveyard, getting squee, goblin nabob, and then casting a hasted fatty every turn. It's still good in EDH, but you just can't build a deck around it like you used to.Posted in: Announcements

Unless you're running a deck with a lot of life gain synergy, I'd much rather have the card selection power of the temples.
I think if there were less players (and therefore a shorter game) the other decks would have had a better chance, but I feel like the longer the game went the farther ahead the G/B deck got.
Volcanic lightning is awesome! Already way more interesting than what I was looking at. If nobody else has any great suggestions in the next few days, I'm definitely picking something from this image search. Thanks a lot!
If you're artsy and feel like helping out a non-creative type, read on:
I'm getting pretty deep into the process of "pimping out" my Keranos, God of Storms spellslinger control EDH deck.(Decklist Here, if you're curious!) and I'm getting to the point where I want to get a playmat that will look awesome with the deck.
Ultra Pro produced a Keranos Mat, but I don't like all that wasted space or the magic logo - plus I don't just want to just reuse the art on Keranos himself. I wouldn't be opposed to the idea of using a different card's art, though. I definitely don't want anything too "busy", because most of the time the cards will be covering a significant portion of the art anyway.
I took a lot of time to trade for basic lands with lightning in the art - so "lightning/storms" is kind of a theme.
I'm using dark blue sleeves, and the most common colors of the art on the cards are dark blue, dark red, and dark purple.
I looked at pictures of storms and lightning, both photographed and painted - but nothing really struck me (hah) as perfect. There might be an even better fit out there than that, I'm just not creative enough to think of anything. Help!
If you were me, what would you want to use as a playmat?
You can attack with stonebrow, resolve his trigger, and then starstorm for X=5 before blockers.
Rolling earthquake at 5 would just kill stonebrow, or give them a chance to block first.
Sorcery
Choose three. You may choose the same mode more than once.
• Fiery Confluence deals 1 damage to each creature.
• Fiery Confluence deals 2 damage to each opponent.
• Destroy target artifact.
if I have Pyromancer's Gauntlet in play, can I choose the second mode 3 times and do 12 to each opponent? Or would it be 8? Thanks!
And flashing back Time Warp effects if you're that kinda guy
A lot of this deck functions at instant speed - so usually I can Day's Undoing, then cast things during my opponents turns. A lot of the reason I like it actually is because it hoses graveyard based decks, otherwise I'd run Reforge the Soul and make the miracles happen with top + mystical tutor + personal tutor.
I can usually cast Dig Through Time without exiling anything relevant. Games get messy and things die. I'll usually exile creatures, then lands, then mana rocks that have made it into my graveyard, then instants & sorceries that I don't anticipate flashing back. It's pretty rare that I'll exile a bunch of good spells to cast this. I'd probably cut Treasure Cruise before Dig Through Time because finding things at instant speed is really great.
I love sphinx-bone wand, and I'll never cut it. I win games off of it pretty often, only behind Price of Progress and Guttersnipe. It builds itself up. Once you untap with it you're suddenly the biggest threat at the table. Casting Evacuation and dealing 8 to someone for it is a great feeling. I usually don't even care about protecting it unless it's going win me the game. It's very nice to have a wincon I can get back with Academy Ruins.
