Yes.

No. Forced Mirror Matching like that doesn't work. If you're playing it and the opponent doesn't, you're losing out.

No. Wild West has been a desired theme for 20+ years now. There's nothing new about it at all. Also, Solle is intended to work as "Spanish California", not "American Midwest".

Okay, I have a guilty story that I have to share about this. I was playing pioneer against an Izzet Phoenix deck. They had an Arcane Bombardment with a Refute under it, so they could counter whatever I played. Why they were playing those cards in Izzet Phoenix, I don’t know. Anyway, they had an awoken horror and an activatibal Hall of Storm Giants (which I don’t know why they were playing either). I was at 15 life. They were at 7. I had a tapped hall on top of my other lands, clearly visible. I said “That Dismal Backwater I played earlier came in clutch], since I’m at 1.” They were briefly confused, then swung in with both the hall and the horror. I was able to win by animating my hall on my turn for the win. A “pen trick” variation , I still feel kind of bad about it today.

This is just a poll to see which decks people think are the most fun to play against. Non-pioneer players feel free to respond as well. My personal favorite is bard class. Fun overall midrange deck that plays out different almost every time.

I have a The Beamtown Bullies list that is very similar to this country. coincidentally, it is called evil Santa Claus. Hellcarver Demon is a very fun slot machine to gift people.

TheoryCrafter Dash Hopes doesn’t count. You could always win with battle of wits before by blinking Oracle of the Alphafoil.

Also, I would prefer to play the ping deserts over the temples to help out Momentum Breaker.

I think Reinforced Ronin is the card you were thinking of. Or Magmatic Sprinter.

I think Coalition Victory will be rebanned Jan 1. I’m happy with the braids unban, because it means I can build a deck around giving my opponents Obeka, Splitter of Seconds with Assault Suit and making them throw away their board with braids.

  1. Can you please do an article on interrupts?
  2. New idea for the duelist mechanic; instead of triggering off of attack/block, have it trigger of of blocking/being blocked by another creature with duelist. This can make it more thematic, with the better duelist winning, and leads to interesting card designs with duelist as a minor downside.
  3. Can you sue WOTC for stealing your Wild West idea of solle and making it into OTJ?

I personally would have them finish the Nimbus Maze cycle over a flipped verges cycle.

Why are you playing Borborygmos Enraged with 14 lands?
