Pissed off that Return to Ravnica doesn't have a Dimir intro deck

Come ooonn. Show House Dimir some love.

[planeswalker-paradise]

Dimir isn't one of the featured guilds in Return to Ravnica Wait until Gatecrash when they're actually featured.

So, I've been playtesting with the UW Delver list and wow, it is too good. It's ridiculously good.

Played against Manny's Grixis control and it just rolled him. Going to finish proxying the Zombie Pod list so he can practice with it

But seriously, UW Delver is so fucking powerful.

[planeswalker-paradise]

Originally I was going to run Hero of Bladeholds instead of the Angels, but since the guy from Taiwan won with R/B Zombies, that deck kind of exploded at my store, and I figure I could use the flying and the extra bounce with Snap to recast Vapor Snags or Mana Leaks as needed.

Plus, I really want to use my promo Angels. Problem solved.

[planeswalker-paradise]

I figure it's about time I try my hand at a U/W Delver list. It's pretty straight forward, but let's see how it works.

Mainboard Creatures(11) 4 Delver of Secrets 3 Restoration Angel 4 Snapcaster Mage Instants (14) 1 Dismember 2 Gut Shot 4 Mana Leak 3 Thought Scour 4 Vapor Snag Legendary Creatures (4) 4 Geist of Saint Traft Sorceries (8) 4 Gitaxian Probe 4 Ponder

Artifacts 3 Runechanter’s Pike Basic Lands (9) 8 Island 1 Plains Lands (10) 4 Glacial Fortress 2 Moorland Haunt 4 Seachrome Coast

Sideboard 1 Batterskull 2 Redirect 2 Phantasmal Image 3 Celestial Purge 1 Dissipate 2 Divine Offering 1 Negate 1 Tamiyo, the Moon Sage 2 Timely Reinforcements

Possibly fake but supposedly a Planeswalker from Return to Ravnica. As much as I hate Storm, I’m hoping it’s legit

[planeswalker-paradise]

This seems pretty legit to me. He fits the colors, the art fits, there aren't any grammatical errors or erroneous abilities. If this is fake, it's a pretty awesome fake.

Debating on shifting my Kamikaze deck back to mono black.

[planeswalker-paradise]

I think this is the best proof we've gotten that Ral Zarek is going to be the Izzet Planeswalker, because that is definitely him in the picture. So I'm guessing they're going to keep Jace Mono-Blue (which is awesome!)

[planeswalker-paradise]

Solar Flare, again...

This is probably the millionth time I've changed my Solar Flare deck, but this is probably my last attempt at it, it just isn't working as well as I'd like with the current meta at my store.

Instants (9) 4 Forbidden Alchemy 3 Mana Leak 1 Negate 1 Go for the Throat

Sorceries (8) 4 Lingering Souls 3 Day of Judgment 1 Unburial Rites

Enchantments (4) 2 Oblivion Ring 2 Dead Weight

Planeswalkers (2) 1 Gideon Jura 1 Liliana of the Veil

Artifacts (1) 1 Batterskull

[planeswalker-paradise]

First game I play and this guy miracles Temporal Mastery turn three. He then hard casts another a couple turns later and miracles another on his extra turn. Took three turns in a row and kept all my creatures tapped with a Frost Titan so I was defenseless. Complete bullshit.

you can run both zeniths and just end up wiping your tokens.

I almost always run the appropriate zeniths in EDH decks >:P

Army of the Damned? 13 tokens is pretty good.

While it is kind of slow, I think it could find a solid place in this deck.

Requiem Angel. Darkest hour and a sac outlet with Grave pact/Butcher of Malakir

Yes, yes, and Hells yes.

Try tcgplayer.com, they have a huge pool of cards from all over.

They only have two foils, both of which are going for $18 >.>

Of course my services are expensive, my dear; I run the tightest ship in the business. But perhaps a word about this later.

Day = made.

Teysa is so sassy and I love her for it.

Planeswalker

What is your favorite planeswalker, and why?

[planeswalker-paradise]

Venser. He has so much utility, it's ridiculous. Most people only use him for his +2 to recycle ETB effects and his -7 to start removing threats, but his -1 to make your creatures unblockable is one hell of a game ender. Venser's the best - end of story.

[planeswalker-paradise]

I'm trying to work on a new Teysa, Orzhov Scion EDH deck, but I can only find her foil on eBay, where she's a tad overpriced for a foil :(

I think the basic idea I'm going to roll with, however, is mass token generation and sac engines.

A sort of borderline Kamikaze EDH deck

Any suggestions?

[planeswalker-paradise]

Me and a few other folks are also pulling for the Venser replacement. You think a solid Venser replacement (or even an actual Venser remake, somehow) will ever surface? I heard a far off rumor of Phyrexia making some sort of return eventually, and that they'd find a way to bring back the artificer. What do you think? I personally would just love for Venser to not roll out.... he's too much fun right now T_T I mean, he could be replaced with Conjurers Closet.... but that's just not as fun.

Well, the fact that Venser is/was Maro's favorite Planeswalker could help with that, but we can definitely expect to see more of Phyrexia in the future (Maro's intent with Scars block, from what I've read, was to reintroduce Phyrexia as the main evil in the Universe).

But I don't think they would make a replacement for Venser, because that would take away from his uniqueness. I would love to see a U/W Walker, since I'm a big fan of Azorius, but I don't see that happening anytime soon, nor do I see a return of Venser.

And Conjurer's Closet only accounts for Venser's +2, people tend to forget his -1, making all your creatures unblockable until the end of turn (that alone is a game-winner).

Venser is, and always will be, my favorite Planeswalker. My fingers are crossed for a reprint or a new one, but since he sacrificed his Spark to save Karn, my hopes aren't too high.

On Izzet Planeswalkers...

So there are a lot of rumors flying around about whether or not Jace will be an Izzet (Blue/Red) Walker in Return to Ravnica.

On one hand, you have the fact that in the Return to Ravnica spoiler, you have Jace standing with Niv Mizzet, which is a solid indication that he's at least involved with the Izzet guild. Not to mention the fact that there is a as-yet-unconfirmed (and rather shitty, in my opinion) "spoiled" Jace, Advisor to the Firemind or whatever.

But on the other hand, you have Ral-Zarek. He was established in what, Duels 2011? And he's a pretty obvious pick for an Izzet Walker.

Then, of course, you have Dack Fayden, the Izzet Walker from the comics, who also happens to be in Ravnica (at least, from what I've been told - I don't read the comics).

Personally? I think Jace is a solid Mono-Blue Walker, since he is a great embodiment of what Blue represents in the colors, there's no real need to made him a dual-color. And if theydo have to make him dual colors, I'd love to see him as a nice replacement for Venser, but that's wishful thinking.

I mean, yeah, Jace is smart and all, but he's too reckless and impulsive (which is why I can see him as U/R).

All in all, both sides as to whether or not the Jace, Advisor to the Firemind is a legitimate card and as to whether he will be an Izzet Walker in RtR have valid claims. I guess we just have to wait and see when Wizards officially spoils the set.

Green Lantern Magic Card by ~ronaldlocke

a few cards i made up in magic the gathering set editor

[traumatrae]

I think each individual Green Lantern should have his/her own Lantern that should be a legendary artifact. Because being able to tutor (without tapping) for an artifact (at least, I’m assuming it’s an artifact and not another creature), putting it in play,and buffing your creature is more than a little over-powered.

And I feel like Kyle Rayner (the one pictured) would probably be Blue/Green, since he’s a rather intelligent and creative lantern. Although I don’t think you should restrict the Green Lanterns to Green, just because Green is the color of willpower in the comics.

I need to start reblogging my Magic posts here instead of my main blog.
