The Return of Smallpox in M2011

featured 190 days, 17 hours, 37 minutes ago posted by ShadowSketchedShadowSketched 193 days, 7 hours, 42 minutes ago
Friday, July 29, 2011 4:51:27 PM GMT Wednesday, July 27, 2011 2:45:57 AM GMT
With Smallpox's debut in M12, I am having flashbacks of how good Solar Pox was when Time Spiral and its surrounding sets were legal.  The deck, a control deck with combo elements, utilizes the "drawbacks" of Smallpox to put the caster at an advantage over the opponent. I'm hoping to reproduce the success with this new card pool.  Check out a bit more in-depth history and the version I came with. (more)

Thoughts on Stoneforge Mystic and Jace, the Mind Sculptor being banned in Standard

featured 215 days, 19 hours, 23 minutes ago posted by ShadowSketchedShadowSketched 219 days, 7 hours, 44 minutes ago

Ding dong, the Mind Sculptor is dead.  At least in Standard. So is Stoneforge Mystic, but he'd be forever alone without Batterskull and the swords. You may have read theories, Twitter posts, and the official press release concerning the decision, but check out my view of why these cards were banned. (more)

Ok, Survival of the Fittest is banned, what about Jace?

featured 398 days, 7 hours, 18 minutes ago posted by ShadowSketchedShadowSketched 404 days, 16 hours, 18 minutes ago
Monday, January 03, 2011 3:10:34 AM GMT Monday, December 27, 2010 6:09:58 PM GMT
When Magic the Gathering degenerates into a race between two players to play a card, the game loses much of the strategy and technique players crave. Survival of the Fittest does just that, providing a way to win and answer threats through its tutoring ability. Like Survival, Jace is also a win condition and threat response. Its power is backed up by appearing at maximum copies in six out of the eight world championship decks. Why or why hasn't Jace been banned yet? Check out the speculation here. (more)
