Definitely Not a Magic Blog

This is my Magic: the Gathering blog! Pretty self-explanatory. Feel free to drop me an ask if you have any questions or comments or anything. I also happen to be among the Minions of Steve Argyle (specifically I'm #70). Theme is temporary.

Hey Magic players

Recommend some allied-color (WU, UB, BR, RG, GW) or allied-color-related (Sejiri Merfolk, for example) cards to me. Mill cards need not apply.

ODRIC JUST INFORMED ME

[tanknspank]

[animar-seal-of-elephants]

A little off the top:

[mtgfan]

Oh my god, can you imagine how broken this could be?

[pseudomagic]

ty for breaking Ad Nauseum

Went 2-2 at Modern tonight.

Borrowed a Grixis Delver deck from a friend (thanks profblahson!). Won round 1 against UB Mill, got stomped by Naya 1-drops round 2, won a super close match against GW Hatebears (again) for round 3, and fetched the wrong shock land to lose game 2 of round 4, and ultimately the match. Reflections? I have two. Grixis Delver is hard, and I love Grixis Delver.

Also, if I were to write a series of posts about teaching someone how to play Magic, who would read anything past the "read more" break (as in, basically all of it)?

[pseudomagic]

Went 3-1 at Modern tonight.

I was playing UR Delver. Lost round 1 to Bloom Titan (2 nut draw turn 2 kills in a row), got a bye round 2, beat mono-black Infect round 3, and beat GW Hatebears round 4.

The MTG community is infested with land destruction-loving filth.

I need to purge this place for the good of all of us

[unlimiteur]

how are you gonna do that with no land tho

[sarkhan-volkswagen-deactivated2]

when your opponent refers to Ashiok as “he” or “she”

When you correct them and then they start using “it” as a pronoun instead

[saheeli-rais-wife]

Zach can we meme you

[sarkhan-volkswagen-deactivated2]

meme away

[evilsmurfnope-deactivated202001]

I can’t play elspethsunschampion in the same deck as Heliod. #justvorthosthings

I don’t even have a Heliod.

[elspethsunschampion]

I appreciate this.  Thank you.

[j1661z-deactivated20150725]

I’m going to build a mono-White Devotion deck which will use Heliod and four copies of every single Elspeth

[elspethsunschampion]

YOU, ON THE OTHER HAND.  YOU.

[mtg-talk]

Why is serum visions so expensive when preordain is just as good?

Preordain was in a Duel Deck, so it’s more available, and is not Modern legal. Less demand and more supply than Visions.

[dissonant-aria]

At least scry being evergreen means they can reprint it ANY TIME WIZARDS.

[mtg-talk]

Assuming Development deems it ok for Standard. Then again Evergreen status means it can also be in any supplemental product, so maybe the next Commander set???

[blogging-phelddagrif]

Serum Vision wouldn’t really break Standard. I’m kind of confused as of why it’s not seeing a reprint. Same goes for a few modern/legacy staples.
