nbsp;Having played a lot with JTMS in Legacy on MTGO, this card is missing a lot of how the card would translate into Yugioh,https: gatherer.wizards.com Pages Card Details.aspx?printed true&multiverseid 195297IMHO. Jace is not a beat stick planeswalker, instead good at controlling the game....

nbsp;Wizards has done such a great job milking the fetchlands. First, some background:The best dual lands in Magic come in untapped and have basic land types. For example, Tropical Island is both a Forest and an Island, and it enters untapped.The next best dual lands in Magic are the fetchlands....

This deck has some fun interactions.Constellation triggers tokens from casting enchantments.Beast Whisperer draws me cards every time I cast a creature.Arboreal Grazer is great to drop two lands early game and also to trigger Beast Whisperer middle to late game.What’s better than Beast Whisperer?...

nbsp;I have been watching the Magic bubble inflate for a while. I have also seen many call the impending burst of the bubble, and it has not happened. I believe that none of us know when the bubble will burst. First, I would like to go through the logic of why we are in a bubble.A bubble in any...

nbsp;I made a few changes by adding some flyers.Here is another early Gate Colossus.Here is a pair of Gate Colussus early game.Guild Summit must be a playset in this deck. It’s a great card draw engine almost every turn after it drops.And especially when a second one drops mid to late game and you...

nbsp;This deck is a lot of fun. I will describe it in two posts, one before high end flyers are added, and one after. All screenshots are MTGO solitaire. Here is the deck:We will need at least one Arboreal Grazer in our opening hand.District Guide will help us get the colors we need, but we have to...

nbsp;I love Ikoria, and I think long-term, the set opened up new design space for Magic that is wide open for exploration. The first time is always hard because there is no precedent. I am betting that Return to Ikoria is already on the schedule. And if it isn’t, that’s a major mistake. Wizards...

nbsp;Here are links to two matchups I played against and then seven iterations of my monoblue version of an Ominous Seas deck. The decklist: 1. Encountered (I played against) Azorius Manabase Izzet Manabase 1. My Deck Version 1 vs Green Stompy Version 2 vs Yorion Dimir Version...

nbsp;In this post, I plan to annotate the match-ups I have been uploading to my YouTube channel as I work my way through a cube I am building for the very first 8-set Standard with all large sets in Magic’s now long and beautiful history. There are multiple posts, given that for some decks I have...

Every now and then someone will post on reddit worrying about the eventual demise of this great game. This is what I reply:There are things Wizards does that annoy me (I don’t care for any pack that costs more than 4, period), and I think sometimes that Wizards would be better off by itself, but...

This is an aggregated post for builds with the ten companions from Ikoria. The builds can be constructed Standard, constructed Modern, and also Commander.Commander Builds:Eutropia with Keruga Companion Casual Commander Buildhttp: mtgadventures.blogspot.com 2020 06 eutropia-with-keruga-companion...

This build is somewhat more restrictive because the commander has to have an even casting cost. This is not a good deck to model on MTGO because I can’t tell which one of the creatures Gyruda sends to the graveyard is associated with each Lazav trigger. As with other ETB’s, you want to be able to...

The fix has been applied to MTGO for nerfing Companions. As usual, game screenshots are from solitaire games, and the card pool is Standard-only.Minus the Enter-the-battlefield bonus, Keruga is an otherwise unremarkable 5 drop 5 4. The key to this deck is dropping Keruga when you have lots of...

I worked on this deck a while back.It’s a graveyard-centric deck. Because it is in Blue and Green, it’s perfect for Proliferate. Anything with Mutate is best with tokens, and Amass is a great token strategy. As always, these are solitaire screenshots.I also let some Devotion in as a secondary...

I am planning to collect some of these. There are the ones I currently have in MTGO.

I am not bothered by Double Masters anymore than I am bothered by the price of a Lamborghini. Wizards and Magic are evolving from a game in which all of the cards sell in a 4 pack, to tiers. Wizards is slowly feeling out these tiers. The first Masters sets succeeded in taking the game from a...

Some are lords, others are enablers for the tribe. I have picked three of each, but there are more. Merfolk, for example, have many lords. Knights are a better pick than Soldiers, but I want to start the deck-building with the Tenth Edition lords.The other Soldier lord is in M10, and is way heavier...

This is the first round of deckbuilding for the core set cube, guided by the tribe lords in 10th Edition and M10.1. Goblins. If I add a bunch from Lorwyn block and go Black-Red, I have a nice selection.2. Same with Elves, Green Black, which can be expanded with Origins.3. Soldiers also with Lorwyn,...

I am so glad MTGO is still around. For all of 10, I got most of the Ikoria cards to test out. Snapdax is all right. This build has a casual manabase. It’s just a way for me to understand how the mutate cards work. I went for multiple themes and made sure I had no humans in the deck. These boards...

I am really looking forward to this set. Here are the posts for it that I am using to prepare for when I get my hands on these cards.Ikoria Companion Cardshttps: mtgadventures.blogspot.com 2020 04 ikoria-companion-cards 19.htmlIkoria Mutate Cardshttps: mtgadventures.blogspot.com 2020 04 ikoria...

Illuna requires some careful considerations. You don’t want to exile a bunch of creatures that would help you win the game The creatures in this deck must be a very small selection of high-impact creatures. Scry is your friend for this deck to maximize the usefulness of this Ultimatum. This is, in...

Its great to case this commander from the graveyard with Mutte, but it’s otherwise a 6 6 5 CMC Trample creature. It’s all in on Mutate since all three colors have four mno-color Mutate creatures each and three multi-colored Mutate creatures. This means it’s a ’no Humans’ deck. The Ultimatum is cool...

This is yet another Mutate commander in Ikoria. It’s Ultimatum is really good but does not read game-ending. It’s enchantment is a great card-drawing engine. The clause on Vadrok is about non-creature spells, and that is MUCH better than just instants and sorceries with Theros II having...

This is yet another Mutate commander in Ikoria. It’s Ultimatum is amazing. It’s enchantment is all right.Ikoria has some solid Menace support for this deck. Mardu is all about combat.Ikoria has a strong Humans component, and also a Human friends component, with the minor caveat that Mutate...

This is one of the Mutate commanders in Ikoria. It’s a fantastic reanimation engine. It’s Ultimatum should be a game-ender. It’s enchantment has multiple ways to help you, including life gain in case your black cards cost you too much life.This deck needs to drop lots of card into the graveyard and...
