Dwarf Tribal (Rotation Proof Standard)-Working out the Deck

-
I think we're ready to playtest.  Here's what I worked it down to.  We had to lose a few items to fit the creatures, but I'm sure those numbers will shift as we test.






It looks fairly low to the ground.  Has some flying...not bad.  But we will see.

City's Blessing-What is it good for? A look at the new ASCEND mechanic in Standard.

Taking a look at the new mechanic ASCEND, which offers you the 'City's Blessing' if you control 10 or more permanents. Here are the white cards that utilize the ASCEND mechanic: Of these, Radiant Destiny is the most promising. Radiant Destiny becomes an Always Watching, which was a great pairing with the exert mechanic (or any creature card really). Here are the blue cards with ASCEND: These cards are slightly more impactful than the white ASCEND cards.  The card draw with Kumena's Awakening and Secrets of the Golden City are decent.  Slippery Scoundrel becoming hexproof and unblockable could be a nuisance to an opponent.  But it 's Timestream Navigator that is the most interesting.  While it is a fragile 1/1 creature with a 2 CMC cost, it does provide an interesting late game play option.  This is definitely worth playtesting in different creature based decks.  The green cards are: These two creatures have some rea...

Five Color Horses (M19 Standard)-A Deck of Epic Proportions Part 1

It has been a dream of mine to create a deck so overreaching...so incomprehensibly irresponsibly built...that it mocks sensibility and offends even the least practical MTG player.  And it is a dream of mine that the deck feature horses...and not just any horses...but horses of every color available. Without regret and in full possession of my faculties, I encourage you to walk this path with me... JOURNEY WITH ME TO THE LAIR OF THE 5 COLORED HORSES (6 if you count colorless). Today we begin consideration of how we will tackle the problem of making 5 color horses a reality. First let's introduce our horses. Of course we start with our Hour of Devastation lord of all horses, Crested Sunmare. I know what you're thinking...why not just make a green/white horse deck?  I agree, that would be sensible.  But I didn't sign up to tiptoe through easily trod paths.  NO! I'm here to play it dangerous.  And in the MTG world, it doesn't get any mo...

MTG Content Creator Awards and Ethics

-
I would like to first sincerely apologize for advertising a nominee who was fired by Star City Games for allegedly sexually harassing women.  My ignorance on the subject was quickly identified, but it was too late to take back any of the additional pain that I caused or could have caused by  irresponsibly throwing out  that name.  To the alleged victims of those acts, please accept my humble apology. This is the second year of this award program, and while I wish that I did not have to learn lessons this way, this event did bring to light a missing piece of this program.  My enthusiasm for getting content creators' names into the public cannot be overshadowed by my responsibility to vet every nominee prior to releasing those names.  Researching individuals by myself for violations of the Wizards of the Coast Code of Conduct is difficult.  And vetting these individuals publicly is not an option due to the possible damage to the integrity of the awards...
