    ?? If Urborg is in play, your pain lands can be tapped for B without taking damage at all. You CAN still tap it for B and taking a damage. Otherwise, Urborg is irrelevant and tapping a pain land twice for colored mana does deal as much damage as a shockland...

    Either package would be very tempting. I'd probably get more value out of the $300 one actually; plus getting a MMA set just for going 4-1 in M15 sealed seems like great value. But I know if I signed up for these I wouldn't see any of the exhibition hall. I'll still probably try to hit up a...

    Had these last night. Agree that kettle cooked chips are superior. And these chips have a good flavor to them (if you like Wasabi). It's definitely not an overpowering amount of wasabi like sitting down to eat a whole pile of wasabi peas, but the flavor is still there. When I was eating them...

    Elspeth isn't a creature so if you're counting on using this the turn you play her, you only have 3 creatures to convoke with. If you're planning to use it next turn...well Grabbit made a good point. But in pure WB control you don't have any way to protect her. You should still be concerned...

    These elites (indicated with a red outline) out in the field are worth several % more during the "kill X" quests. This game rewards you for fighting tougher enemies during these quest. Typically killing one of the normal mobs may yield 1-3% of the completion whereas the elites could yield...

    In all fairness other than swapping Courser for Finks (not a good choice IMO), Wuyley's Rock list is almost identical to one that wentundefeated day 1 in GP Richmond. The deck seems fine, but stick to the Courser over the Finks. I think the big ass will do a lot more work over the instant...

    We're on a chicken derail here and no one mentions Carl's Jr.'s hand breaded chicken tenders? Those things are amazing and one of the only good things on their menu.

    Sounds like you want to run a deck like Shattergang Brothers. Make tokens, blow up guys. If you are speifically focused on this guy, overload your deck with edict style effects (Diabolic Edict, Cruel Edict, Innocent Blood). That was the deck I was most concerned with at last week's tournament...

    If you're playing 1v1 Commander, you should follow theFrench Banned and Restricted list. This is the most commonly used guideline for 1v1. Then tell him his general is banned Or you can use effects to prevent him from searching the deack like Stranglehold or Leonin Arbiter. You can go with...

    Quick nitpick here. Ajani can't actually find a Detention Sphere as he only allows you to find an aura. D Sphere is a non-aura enchantment. He would be super sweet if he allowed you to find any enchantment so you could put some random gods in the deck too. This set looks way better than...

    Sorry, I don't mean to backpeddle, but I should have said that was the strategy for Theros sealed and not just Theros limited. Draft is a completely different beast and decks are usually more cohesive, have more copies of the same spells and are less bomb reliant. It is definitely easier to...

    Choosing to be on the draw is not always a bad thing especially in a slower format like Theros limited. Every turn you have one more card than your opponent which gives you one more chance to draw that land or draw that answer that you were looking for. I won't comment on your particular...

    According to Gatherer, there are over 700 Bant color creatures with "enters the battlefield" triggers. I think the deck already has Acidic Slime in it to destroy a permanent when you flicker. Duplicant is also pretty sweet to remove a creature. Sundering Titan blows up lands (will also blow...

    The bolded text does not refer to colorless mana, but rather if you have another effect that would increase the could by a colored mana. For example if you have Derelor or Andradite Leech in play, your black spells would cost B extra to play. A Kragma Warcaller would cost BBR3 in this case...

    I just got back from GP Sacramento. Made day 2 and ended up 123 out of roughly 1850 players. Tournament payout was to top 100. I didn't realize until I was thinking about it over dinner, but if we had ID'd the last round, my opponent and I would have both made top 100 (31 pointes) and even...

    Dismember is not a board wipe at all. It's targeted removal. If you meant something that gave all creatures -5/-5 then yes that would be pretty sick. I think this card is OK (strictly better than infest), but I don't think it's the board clear that mono-black needs in standard. It is...

    I don't think that this is true as some of the runners will mention specifically that they are using a marathon safe strat, but will detail another path that would be faster but riskier. During the VVVVVV run the dev had called in, but obviously had a large delay between the runner and his...

    Hot damn. You got a great deal! True Name is down to $35 on eBay (and still dropping as they're being printed) or $30 with a bunch of other cards at Target. You'd still be lucky to find a Jake for $80 and especially if you got a WWK one instead of FTV20, those are more valuable even though...

    How many people were at that PTQ? I went to one in Columbus, OH last weekend with 338. I thought it seemed like a lot, but maybe that's normal. I started off 4-1-1 before my deck just plain gave up on me and I lost the last 3 in a row...

    A lot of it is really going to depends on your local meta and what matchups you face. Pharika's Cure is really amazing against mono red rush (basically kills any of their creatures and gives you 2 life) and it's really strong against Master of Waves. I found myself sideboarding in multiple...

    I was just thinking about something abusing Lotleth Troll and Whip to bring in an Obzedat or AEtherling in a straight BG deck. Obzedat is obvious, but getting the blue mana to activate AEtherling probably would not make him worth it. Could run a few UB Temples and Caryatids I guess, but still...

Most of the heroes in this...
