  There has to be some really cheap way to cheat this onto the field early...

  Well, ideally what you want with it is to gain life before it comes out. 

  
  

  Either way, there's Sins of the Past, although that'd only be two turns earlier and not much of an improvement, really.

  Whores! we want "poems that kill."

  So, I was thinking
  
  Perhaps we could start a weekly/montly EDH game for the heapers here.

  I might be interested, but depending on the week I might have things I'd rather do.
• millercross

  2012-03-31 22:19:09

  Don't you mean the day?

  
  

  Either way, I guess that with you, Haven, Yarrun and me we make four. That's enough for a good EDH game every week.

  Alright, this has potential.

  Whatever, Juan. It depends on whatever exact measure of time that the game in question will take and how that may or may not conflict with things I want to or have to do.
  
  I wouldn't want people to try to schedule around me. I'm between quarters and in a new country, so I have no idea what sort of commitments I'd be making. For the five months I'm here, I'm not going to consider online games a high priority. No offense.

  What I have learned today from using my Sheoldred EDH deck: Using Traumatize against the guy who can freely get creatures from his graveyard is incredibly dangerous.

  Although if all their creatures are indestructible, that makes getting Morbid a bit trickier.

  P1: "Hah! I have Avacyn on the field! What now, punk?!"
  
  P2: -reveals Simulacrun and Tragic Slip from hand-

  Things we have learned today: Don't play Thieves' Auction when Zedruu is in play. Or at least, take Zedruu first. Just...just don't play Thieves' Auction on Cockatrice. It takes forever.

  Why would you play Thieves' Auction and not take Zedruu?

  I was playing monored and the Zedruu player had Leyline of Sanctity on the field. And I forgot to put any destroy-enchantments in that deck.

  You were going for player-targeted burn as your only serious win condition in EDH? Heartless Hidetsugu and Eathquake don't target...

  
  

  For permanent removal, next time use Chaos Warp, Ratchet Bomb, and Steel Hellkite?

  @ Gelzo: My monoreds are usually based on board upheaval rather than winning. I don't mind not winning as long as I get to play interesting cards, and red's chock full of interesting cards. Heck, my commander for that game was Squee, Goblin Nabob. Capable of causing great damage in the right situations, yes, but not especially threatening.
  
  Thanks for the suggestions, though. Chaos Warp would be an excellent addition to the deck.

  It's interesting how quickly things become "quaint" as far as the internet is concerned. This comic is about a decade old. 

  
  

  I'd never hold something more "material" to a 10 year standard.

  Heh. Nice.

  
  

  I also like the "And what about my ultra-rare cards - what am I supposed to do with them on your stupid internet." As if Wizards wouldn't somehow figure out how to make "rarity" a thing online.

  
  

  Though this might be why Game and Tycho wisely decided that Div should deliver the rant and not either of their avatars.

  Reading up on the old Ravinca sets
  
  The Wikipedia pages are almost useless and I really don't want to read the novels, so I'm currently looking through articles on the Magic site.

  Huh.
  
  Now I really want to see a general game between the 10 leaders of the guilds.
  
  Of course, that would take a few days to get through.

  Haven came to visit this weekend and was AWESOME, I repeat AWESOME enough to help me tweak my Kalia deck, my favourite Haven influenced additions are:

  

  Admittedly I didn't have it set aside or anything but seeing Haven use it in his Vish Kal deck made me wish I had.  Even if you're up against a mono white deck in EDH, a white card that destroys lands and artifacts is pretty goddamn impressive.

  

  Just, just yes. Tutoring a Maze of Ith with this bad boy and pairing it with Kalia is just fantastic.

  
  

  ALL HAILU HAVEN, KING OF EDH.

  From the text of some spoilers, it seems that Wingcrafter was previously named Wingbonder. You can imagine why I would have liked the old name better.

  
  

  Some of these miracle cards look amazing. Thunderous Wrath at uncommon, and Temporal Mastery making blue scry even more fantastic? Only thing is that the cards can look bad in your hand unless you can use discard as a resource, and then maybe already have other uses for Noxious Revival.

  Expedition Map is the best artifact land tutor, I think. 

  
  

  Saltblast has been on the maybeboard for Teysa EDH for quite a while. I'm not sure whether to fix that or just keep to Pentarch Paladin and sac + revive him according to circumnstance.

  I've seen Saltblast used very damningly by Haven multiple times, he often uses it to get rid of my Command Tower which really screws up a 3 coloured deck.  I think having good land destruction in that colour wheel is too good to pass up.  I replaced Oblation for Saltblast.
