I have replaced War Room with Nivix, Aerie of the Firemind, because this deck does not have a sufficient focus on gaining life to justify the former land, and, while I normally dislike "impulse draw," Elsha's static ability helps to reduce the risk of employing that strategy, in this deck.

In this post, a user stated that bushido was too powerful because it triggers when a creature blocks, but I fail to see why that is, so I would like to ask the other users, here, about that.

What does everyone else here say, about this? what is wrong with the fact that bushido triggers when a creature blocks? I am interested to hear what everyone else has to say about this subject?

I have replaced Doubling Season with Exalted Sunborn, which was not an easy decision to make, because, as amazing as the enchantment is, the creature has amazing synergy with this deck, so it is a better choice.

DrukenReaps, thank you, for your advice, and I shall make that replacement!

I have replaced Pilfered Plans with Baleful Strix, which reduced the average converted mana cost of this deck from 3.81 to 3.79, because the strix is such a great creature to have in decks that support its colors.

In this post, Mark Rosewater stated that it would be difficult to have a set on Arcavios without including Strixhaven, which deeply disappoints me, since Strixhaven is only a single location on Arcavios, and it make no sense for an entire plane of existence to be limited to a single location, so I do hope that WotC can eventually expand Arcavios and give the plane its own identity, so that it shall feel like an actual world, and not merely a one-trick pony.

What does everyone else say, about this? Are you disappointed with Rosewater’s opinion on this matter, and do you hope to see more of Arcavios, beyond Strixhaven, at some point? I certainly am interested to hear your thoughts, on this matter!

Crow_Umbra, yes, that make sense, to me, so I shall wait an see if other users share the opinion, as well, before I make my final decision, on this matter.

I have a copy of Doubling Season in my Ghired, Conclave Exile EDH deck, but I am considering replacing that card with Exalted Sunborn, since the creature has greater synergy with the deck than does the enchantment. This deck does contain five cards that place counters on permanents, but none of those cards are vital to this deck's strategy, and, since the sunborn is not a legendary creature, I can copy it with Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker and generate an absurd amount of tokens, with which I could overwhelm my opponents.

What does everyone else say about this? Should I keep Doubling Season in this deck, or replace that card with Exalted Sunborn? I certainly am interested to hear your feedback, on this matter.

I am contemplating replacing Doubling Season with Exalted Sunborn, but I am not yet certain, about that, so does anyone here have any advice to offer, on that matter?

Magic: the Gathering has now been around for over thirty years, so it is inevitable that it would experience power creep in some way, but I feel that the power creep has been particularly blatant in recent sets, with cards such as Jumbo Cactuar, Overkill, The Eternity Elevator, and Dawnsire, Sunstar Dreadnought being some of the best examples of this trend. I understand that this is purely my own opinion, but I imagine that at least some other players shall agree, with me, about this.

What does everyone else say, about this? Are you concerned with the extreme power creep of recent sets? I certainly am interested to hear your thoughts, on this matter.

I just read this article on EDHREC, and I agree that a player should provide at least some amount of information about their deck before they play a game, but I wonder how much information is appropriate to share, since a player would not wish to reveal the entire strategy of their deck, as that would make the game less fun and also give their opponents too much information, as well.

What does everyone else say, about this? How much information should a player reveal about their deck, before a game begins? I certainly am interested to hear your thoughts, on this matter!

Icbrgr, yes, Aerosmith was the first rock band whom I saw in concert, and I am very glad that I was able to see them live, while I still could!

This year is the 50th anniversary of Toys in the Attic, the third studio album by Aerosmith and one that many listeners regard as their best album.

Aerosmith's first two albums were certainly excellent albums, but their third album truly was the one that rocketed them to superstardom, establishing them as one of the foremost rock bands of the 1970's, standing beside other titans of the genre, including Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, and Black Sabbath. Most fans and historians regard TitA as the band's crowning achievement, as it contains some of their best-known songs, including both Walk this Way and Sweet Emotion, which are essentially the band's signature songs, but the other songs on the album are equally noteworthy, as well, including the sizzling title track, which opens the album with a powerful and energetic rush of music, fan favorites Uncle Salty and Adam's Apple, as well as lesser-known gems, including Round and Round, No More, No More, and the emotional and sentimental closing track, You See Me Crying, in which vocalist Steven Tyler delivers a very heartfelt performance, contrasting with the upbeat and hard-partying tracks that preceded it.

Toys in the Attic was well-received by both critics and fans, who praised the album's lean and mean, blues-based, hard rock and the band's swaggering attitude, ensuring that their music would be immortalized as part of rock and roll's canon and also providing audiences with numerous anthems that would be used for festivals, parties, and other celebratory events.

Walk this Way is one of my favorite songs for signing when I do karaoke, and I certainly have played every other song on this album numerous time and for numerous events, as well. Given that Aerosmith is no longer touring and is barely even an active band, at this point, I am not certain what they shall do, if they do anything, at all, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of this album, but I certainly wished to make this post, for that reason.

What does everyone else say, about this? How do you feel about this year being the 50th anniversary of Toys in the Attic?

In these two posts, Mark Rosewater stated that it is unlikely that phasing shall be a major mechanic in a future set, because R&D dislikes that mechanic, and I, personally, am very glad for that, since I much prefer to "flicker" permanents, since doing that removes harmful auras and also retriggers abilities when that permanent enters the battlefield, again, although I do understand that some players prefer phasing, specifically because it does not trigger abilities, so I would like to ask everyone here for their opinions, on this matter.

What does everyone else say, about this matter? Are you pleased or displeased that it is unlikely that phasing shall not be a major mechanic in future sets? I certainly am interested to hear your thoughts, on this matter.

I have replaced March of the Multitudes with Wildfire Awakener, and doing so improved the balance of colors, in this deck, even if ever so slightly, because the awakener provides an additional creature for the same mana value (and a slightly more lenient cost, in terms of colors).

I admit that I occasionally use dice to determine which opponents to attack, in games with more than two players, if no particular opponent is the most appealing target, as I regard that as a fair and equitable tactic, one that shall not invoke the ire of the player whom I attack.

However, I recently read this article on EDHREC, and I was very surprised at the number of players who dislike that tactic, as they say that it absolves the player of accountability for their actions, or, at the very least, makes them look indecisive and unreliable, so I would like to ask everyone else here for their opinions, on this matter.

What does everyone else here say, about this? Is it acceptable to use dice to determine who to attack? I certainly am interested to hear your thoughts, on this matter!

enraged, that is also a very nice card, but I again cannot make room, for it, in this deck, as unfortunate as that is.

enraged, thank you, very much, and I am doing what I can to keep the mana curve of this deck relatively low, although that is not easy to do so, with some of the expensive cards that the deck contains, which is why I have numerous inexpensive mana rocks and effects that increase my maximum hand size in this deck, and Gem of Becoming is an amazing artifact, but I am not certain if I can make room, for it, in this deck, unfortunately.

SaberTech, that makes perfect sense, so I shall leave my other EDH decks, as they are, since only the decks that I mentioned, in my previous post, have a strong focus on creatures.

I have replaced Pilfered Plans with Archenemy's Charm, and I understand that doing so increased the prevalence of black among the colors in this deck even further, but I feel that the charm is an excellent match for the theme of this deck, so I shall tolerate that shift in color, in this deck.
