Boy do I wish Young Pyromancer had been reprinted...
I know this is a combo deck, but as someone mentioned before, if you find yourself durdling around, you could always consider playing Triplicate Spirits as well as Horderling Outburst. Getting 4-5 tokens to attack on one turn and possibly turning them into 4+power will generally be enough to finish a game anyways. So you can either infinite damage and when that doesn't happen, deal enough to win.
Of course, the deck being utterly dependent on the ascendancy is another thing on it's own...I still kind of prefer Swan song because it's an unconditional catch all answer to the problem cards for us. Also, who cares if they get a blocker? Just bounce it with a helix'd creature, if that's ever an issue.
I would also consider Howl of the Horde in there somewhere. The ability to copy 3 times Dig through time/treasure cruise could just be absurd.
This is one of those creatures that will feel a lot like the ooze. If played on turn two, it's annoying and you might want to think about dealing with it right away. Played on turn 8, holy ***** this thing is a problem how do i get rid of it?
This will see play and is likely much better than most give it credit.
I've been playing EDH for years now and you guys want to know which form of EDH I have found to be the best kind?
Standard EDH.
Yup. Standard.
Nothing is banned. If your general is a God, it doesn't have indestructible. Seriously. It's so much more fun when the card pool is limited. Give it a shot.
Confused about Sidsi. Does she only make one zombie per milling effect, no matter how many creatures it mills?
Might see play if you run a critical mass of creatures, as a 3/3 and a 2/2 for 4 is pretty good, and she likely makes another 2/2 when attacking. Combined with Satyr Wayfinder, even more zombies.
As far as End Hostilities ... does this destroy auras or just equipment? Not sure what "attached" means in this context.
You get only 1 zombie.
And end hostilities blows up anything, ie, auras, bestows, equipment.
Just to note, I don't think they can pay cash due to international laws. For example: An American Judge judging in France, for example, cannot get paid to do work in a foreign country without the proper visa paper work. In my mind, cash compensation is never going to happen.
I expect a lot of judges to be really turned off by that. Wonder what the logic behind it was....also, this gives a crap load of power to L2+ judges...so much room for abuse.
Edit: Added pics and I wonder if prices will be outrageous like last years as last year it was Hasbro's quickest selling item last year with them going through the entire con's reserves early Friday morning.
So the game is not allowed to have any complexities at all for more advanced players? Everything in the game has to reduced down to the most basic interactions to pander to new players,while more experienced players have to suffer from the game being dumbed down. That kind of thinking is why land destruction, good counters,and combo have been mostly eliminated from standard and partially from modern.
No, those have been eliminated because they suck and create a game state that is highly undesirable and alienates players.
There are plenty of complexities in the game and it is the best it has ever been. Let's not be a self-entitled, elitist doodoo head here.
So im trying to figure something out...is Wizards trying to have five tournament formats?
Vintage
Legacy
"Super extended"
Extended
Standard
Or are they trying to kill one of them off?
Like you could totally eliminate Extended as whole and have it replaced with super extended so that players could have a taste of Legacy-light all the whilst legacy still exist.
Or perhaps this is just the first step in eliminating both extended and legacy to replace it with super extended, which would, lets face it, piss off a lot of people. However, it would be interesting because that would pool all the extended players and all the legacy players together and would allow all the players who couldnt afford the cost of entry to legacy to play (new) legacy.
It would be a pretty shocking change. Wonder if its possible...

That copy instant sorcery card is bonkers.
Burn will survive!
And then someone INSTANTLY proves you right LOL!
Would have been nice for those of us that don't live in the West coast to have access to these...
