Attacking in Vintage is almost as common as not attacking actually, if not more so. In Vintage Fish, one of the best creatures you could play was Cold-Eyed Selkie, but True-Name is pretty epic for having Protection from a player.

This might be the most hilarious thing I've ever seen, it's like killing somebody with the power of apathy alone.

I probably will be adding them in, but I have to say, in EDH it feels weird playing with suicidal tendencies.
Yeah, I have been ogling that since they first spoiled it. I want maybe a pair in my Fish deck, one in everything EDH, and will probably put them into something for Vintage.

Elspeth wins quicker, but Sorin 's tokens have Lifelink, and his emblems last beyond himself. Outracing other aggro decks isn't really an option, outliving them is however.

The mana is actually pretty good thanks to all the filtering now, it just needed that last final push towards stability.
Render Silent... That's cruel, especially in EDH. I love it.
Cyclonic Rift is amazing, Ophiomancer I hadn't known existed, Worldly Tutor and them could take the place of the cantrips perhaps. Sylvan Primordial I might just play instead of Kozilek as my timmy creature, it's more effective in groups, and ramps for me.

This deck is kind of going for an in-between approach. Sometimes we had massive EDH games, other times not so much.

It honestly should be, but since I barely get to play it(even less than Vintage now), I just don't have the heart to build endlessly for it.

:) It's the only good thing I've done in EDH in my opinion, well, good might not be the right descriptor for this. How did I not know that was a card. Good grief that can solve all of the mana issues I usually have.

Very well put Dag, an excellent explanation.

For me it's either Terastodon or Blade Splicer, tokens, tokens everywhere.

I... I don't know how to feel right now Sure.

Also, I've always liked Voodoo Lady best when it comes to Ween.

David Tennant was one of the best doctors. Shit was indeed sad.

The collar is actually quite nice in the maindeck, but in all honesty there's a reason Jitte is the fork of death. And I think I'm going to have to go back to it.
Also, of all the things that could have spread through the vault, I would never have guessed that it would be I cam dig it.

Thank you, I thought that was too good to pass up. If anything would have been a good pick for disruption, I figured that would be it.
Great success.

It's a truly beautiful design, I can not stress that enough,

There's really nothing you can do to cram one in there, short of minutely diluting (and yes I did that on purpose) by adding it as a sixty-first card. The idea of dropping to two Grasps was one I already supported, but using that as the reason to drop Trinisphere wouldn't have crossed me. The second copy of Smokestack makes a very noticeable difference, and using Blood Scrivener of Bob makes it very gentle on life.


This design, and the humor that's been demonstrated on this site, makes me really want to call Blood Scrivener Robert Loggia.

I can entirely support dropping down to two copies of Praetor's Grasp for a fourth piece of hand disruption, and Trinisphere for a second Smokestack, but I still feel it awkward playing Orim's Chant at anything other than three. But the problem is that nothing exists that could really take their place, and likewise there's nothing to remove for the third. Thus you have defeated my compulsive desire to see it at three.

I must say, thirteen and six is a beautiful split of Instant and Sorcery in Iso-Seek. Especially when coupled with the manabase the deck sports, and Snapcaster. It's brutally effective, while attractive even on paper.

I personally don't miss it, it kind of ruined Legacy for a while to me. Nobody was even willing to play Goblins without it, just for the sake of having an out to the opponents Mental Misstep.

I just always feel compelled to play Basilisk Collar in the MB if I have Grim Lavamancer, it's too good a setup to pass up. Jitte is probably the better option, for the sake of versatility, but for now I want to test the effectiveness of it. I'm taking out PtE, I'd rather have more burn on tap than it in the list to be honest.

I will quite shortly, I'm excited to see what you've done this time.

Whereas I would love nothing better than to fit a Port, or Ghost Quarter in alongside the four Wastelands.

I'd sooner rather drop one, or maybe even both Ponders for that than Wasteland.

It honestly came down to either having Karakas or the Dryad, and I couldn't bring myself to take out Karakas. The Zoo list is more "I can do idiotic designs, and no one can stop me!"
This list has only gotten one match so far, and I'm not entirely sold on it right now.

To be fair, that's rather true.

I'm glad you enjoy it, I for one still feel a bit dirty when I play normal Tempo. Something about it rubs me the wrong way, and I know I shouldn't, since Reanimator is essentially Tempo on steroids, but it does. And there is a better option than Trygon, Abrupt Decay. Only problem is I can't cast it.
