What was your score / time ?

I got 84/90 with 6:50 left. I got Dissension wrong because I thought it said Dark Ascension and I got Scars of Mirrodin wrong because of a misclick. The other four I missed because I couldn’t remember which symbol in the block matched them: Champions of Kamigawa confused with Saviors of Kamigawa, Morningtide confused with Eventide, Alara Reborn confused with Shards of Alara, and Darksteel confused with Fifth Dawn. I am glad I got all of the Urza sets correct, though, because I’ve never been able to remember which was Urza’s Destiny and which was Urza’s Legacy.

The 8x8 Theory: An Introduction

Doubling Season | Art by Chuck Lukacs

Hello, and welcome to this new Magic blog! We are all about EDH/Commander here, specifically about deckbuilding with a unique strategy in mind. This is the 8x8 Theory for EDH/Commander!

@goblintinkering​ probably wasn’t the first to invent the 8x8 Theory, but he may have just been the first to bring it to the attention of the Tumblr community. He states at the beginning of his own 8x8 series of articles:

[The 8x8 Theory] will consist of deckbuilding using a mathematical manner to get a rough draft of a decklist. Simply put, you start out with a Commander and 35 land slots, then choose eight effects you wish to see, and pick eight cards for each effect yielding a clean 64 cards. Four categories will be different depending on the commander, but I will always include a ‘core four’; Ramp, Draw, Removal, and Personal. The ‘Personal’ category will consist of your favorite cards you wish to use, cards you think you need even after 8 instances of an effect, or simply miscellaneous slots for goodstuff.

It is imperative to note that these effects can be filled with synergistic and on-theme cards. In a Vorosh the Hunter +1/+1 counter build, a ‘Ramp’ slot could be Map the Wastes and a 'Draw’ spot could be Give//Take.

Each week, we hope to explore different categories you can use for a set of 8 cards in every color combination imaginable put out by our board of contributors, so please stay tuned! Until then, happy deckbuilding!

what exactly is wall of boom? i can't seem to find it on gatherer

Back in the ancient times of 1997, there was a point between turns where players could activate abilities but not cast spells. This point existed so that Time Vault could work, i.e. so a player could skip the turn that they were about to begin to untap it instead. 

During that point between turns, you could activate Wall of Roots as many times as you wanted (since it was no one’s turn, there was no limit!) and make an arbitrarily large amount of mana, then dump that mana into the Magma Mine and kill your opponent.

It was a ridiculous rules loophole that was closed very very quickly.

[spiroandthelacktones]

Oh dear god what?

[roboco-san]

This is my favorite piece of Magic rules trivia. IIRC it was legal for literally like a week

[roboco-san]

I just checked, the combo was first played in January 1998 and the between turns loophole was closed in February 1998

[magicjudge]

I had the dates wrong, it seems. Sorry!

[roboco-san]

OMG I’m so sorry! I wasn’t trying to correct you, I’m just laughing at the fact that it was legal for less than a month XD

[magicjudge]

Don’t be sorry!

And since some people were asking, the Wall of Roots didn’t die because what are now state-based actions weren’t checked in the time between turns.

How Mark Rosewater wants new players introduced to Magic: Start with a free sample deck or maybe Magic Duels, then slowly work your way toward more complicated concepts, eventually we'll get to deck building
