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 Alpha.

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.

- Can you please do an article on interrupts?
- 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.
- 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.

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".
