Another tool for the Unnatural Selection deck?

Hand to Hand allows you to cast cards with flash without worrying about an opponent interfering!

What's the best thing you can do with Scarab of the Unseen?

My Blasts deck has been voted in for the Spice Paradise Season 2 finals! I'll be facing @elendrile.bsky.social 's amazing Dragonstorm deck first!

Got interviewed by @mtgbanding.com about Parfait in Premodern and my brewing process, among other things. Subscribe to that newsletter asap!👌

I'm not done with Sanctuaries! One way to make Samite Sanctuary one-sided is to play basilisk-like creatures: with enough mana, you'll save your own creatures and your opponent won't have the same option.

So that leaves us with the infamous Ana Sanctuary. Sadly, Llanowar Zombie is a nonbo with it. There are some interesting cards to consider though. What about a hard-to-block ub deck with a green splash for Naturalize and the Sanctuary?

It's hard to argue against Sterling Grove as the best Necra Sanctuary companion, but I guess you could build an Enchantress variant or even an aggro deck using good bears like Victual Sliver and Llanowar Knight.

Is there a Madness build that could use Ceta Sanctuary and cards like Meteor Storm or Stormbind as discard/value outlets?

Let's try to find other great pairings for Sanctuaries...

These should see more play... together!

For decks running Nether Spirit that would like to play more creatures, may I suggest Cyclopean Mummy?

Is it time to build Phasing Flag?

Is Engineered Plague a maindeck card? If you're on BR, you might want to consider Mogg Infestation, a card that turns hard-to-deal-with creatures into 1/1s.

The Parallax enchantments are not the only Premodern enchantments that are better in conjunction with a removal effect in response.

Was this combo ever played when Ice Age was released?😆

In Premodern, those are the two angels that don't fly.

The one advantage this one has over Glorious Anthem is being a 5/5 when Opalescence is in play.

It's hard to find the cards to use with Discordant Spirit. PoP might be the best option (honorable mention to Manabarbs).

Angelic Renewal will return a dying face-down creature on the battlefield... face up!!

Just found a crazy interaction. Say you have Fervor in play. You can cast Ovinomancer and activate it – Haste! – in response to its enter-the-battlefield trigger. So this is a Sorcery-speed removal that your opponent can't easily interact with (like Recurring Nightmare).

1-5 with this brew during the January Monthly. Already have ideas on how to improve it.

Wow, the Oracle text on this one makes it a lot better!

Best aura in the Replenish era!

Against Replenish.dec, Righteous War will not only protect your black creatures from Parallax Wave but also itself if Opalescence is in play! Works vs Seal of Cleansing as well.

What about using Dream Halls as a Reanimator tool? We already play Show and Tell, and Dream Halls is the only(?) effect that allows us to pitch cards to cast spells without exiling them. Thus, you could pitch Rorix to cast Bladewing and end up with both in play!

There has to be a way to build a decent RW Soldiers deck. Catapult Squad has "haste" and can make those restricted Brawlers useful!

Similar to Cursed Totem vs Replenish!

Could Elkin Lair be the 5th Pit in Br versions? Here's a trick if you have both in play and only one card in hand: On your own turn, stack the triggers so you exile your card, allowing you to cast it until eot. You can stack the effects the other way on your opp's upkeep to force the discard.

This card seems underplayed in a format where Call of the Herd is so popular! Unmorph (and protect) your angel with it. Force Dreadnought to spend another combo piece.

How to answer first turn Goblin Lackey when you're playing mono-g, on the draw? I've been through Scryfall and now realize Nimble Mongoose could be the very best answer (Elvish Lookout in Elves?). A first turn Wall of Blossoms, played with Mox/Petal/Guide is also interesting (disadvantage recouped).

Kaervek's Spite is pretty cool, but have you ever considered this safer option vs creatureless decks?

Let's start this in force: is this the best creature to run in a ReapLace shell?

Premodern: I've decided to post more ideas this year. I see lots of interesting things when I browse Scryfall but I'll never have the time to develop those ideas by myself so I'll just share them here and perhaps someone will find the inspiration to build something with those cards!
