Crunched some numbers and came up with 4 Lab/6 Imprints as the best split so I'm trying that out with more Talismans to compensate for the loss of green sources. Live in 5 at twitch.tv/ross_merriam

I was unsuccessful in getting a Creator Pass for MagicCon: Detroit, but I did manage to get an Early Bird Weekend Badge - so I'll see y'all there! I’m unsure of my plans yet - but expect an unofficial Pauper meet-up, much Canadian Highlander, and plenty of Ross Pro Tour-posting. 🥳 #MCDetroit

This card’s a real quiet sicko for Pauper that I feel like barely anyone’s talked about. Bogles gets to play this with both First Strike AND Trample. And if they somehow kill the Creature you get it back, which is important in a deck like Bogles with so few of them. This one rocks.

I would like to see more Lander tokens in Magic.

This spell costs {2} less to cast if you’ve cast a noncreature spell this turn.

Flying, vigilance

Prowess (Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, this creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn.)

When Way of the Healer enters, empower Jace 5. (Put five loyalty counters on a Jace token you control. If you don’t control one, first create a blue Jace planeswalker token with “[−1]: Surveil 1” and “[−3]: Draw a card.”)

Planeswalkers you control have “[−2]: Create a 2/2 colorless Wizard Soldier creature token named Cadet. Surveil 1.”

Went 2-3 in a five round (!!) Prerelease. Played Esper Control for the first two matches and then pivoted into Red-Green splashing black for removal. Green felt shallow originally, but apparently playing your bombs is the way. 🤷 Empower Jace is a super interesting design, though. #MTGFracture

Avatar continues to overperfom for me in Anzrag. Rancor is another I feel is a little underrated, as it should see more play in non-Voltron builds. Cunning Rhetoric is another nice one if you want some back and forth at the casual tables. Always been impressed by this one.

Enchantment — Aura

Enchant creature

Enchanted creature gets +2/+0 and has trample.

When this Aura is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, return it to its owner’s hand.

Enchantment

Whenever an opponent attacks you and/or one or more planeswalkers you control, exile the top card of that player’s library. You may play that card for as long as it remains exiled, and you may spend mana as though it were mana of any color to cast it.

Enchantment — Saga

(As this Saga enters and after your draw step, add a lore counter.)

I — Draw cards equal to the greatest power among creatures you control.

II — Earthbend X, where X is the number of cards in your hand. That land becomes an Island in addition to its other types.

III — Exile this Saga, then return it to the battlefield transformed under your control.Avatar Kyoshi
Legendary Creature — Avatar

Lands you control have trample and hexproof.

{T}: Add X mana of any one color, where X is the greatest power among creatures you control.

Draft this card face up.

As you draft a card, you may draft an additional card from that booster pack. If you do, put this card into that booster pack.

Why wait for answers?

Mine will always be un-morphing a Ponyback Brigade at a Khans of Tarkir Prerelease (which happened to be my first Prerelease). Thought it was a super cool play, and I've been here ever since.

Been feeling under the weather and spending a lot of time of bed lately. In an attempt to try and not go stir crazy, what was your "eureka" moment in Magic? This could be the moment you knew you wanted to play more Magic or could be a different moment (or cool play) altogether.

Been extensively testing this commander deck out with pods for the past few weeks so I feel comfortable enough to make a video about it. Hoping to make @emmapartlow.com proud with my take of abzan bunnies (It also means a lot because so many people gave me bunnies, can’t let them down lol)

This spell can’t be countered.

If a spell or ability an opponent controls causes you to discard this card, put it onto the battlefield instead of putting it into your graveyard.
