    After some pondering, I did take out the Oblivion Rings from the maindeck. They're still going into the sideboard though.

    Tough part is figuring out what to replace them with. One I replaced with Divine Deflection (I think it works as a 1-of). The other I currently have a Mana Leak in, though I'm not sure it's worth it as a 4-of maindeck when Cavern of Souls is around. Maybe a third Runechanter's Pike?

    I guess it depends. What permanents did you tend to Oblivion Ring most often? If they were Planeswalkers, then Mana Leak is a pretty good choice. Sure, you won't counter creatures often, but you'll counter more Planeswalkers.

    He did block, i guess the Rhox wasn't enchanted and that was just how i remembered it.

    it turns out there is not a card that deals damage when an enchantment enters the battlefield, this makes me sad.

    You could use Opalescence and something that deals damage when creatures enter. This is a totally optimal thing to do.

    I don't think that would work, if I'm not mistaken, the enchantment would enter the battlefield, and after it was on the field, it would become a creature, not before it enters, and as such, the effect would not take place.

    No, it works. As soon as it enters the battlefield, it's an Enchantment Creature; with static continuous abilities like Opalescence's, or stuff like Curse of Death's Hold, there's no point at which the affected object is on the battlefield but not objected.

    so legacy/vintage only = deck idea to slow to begin with. I'd never have the chance to combo out.

    So I was playing Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013, specifically the challenges and having quite a bit of fun with them until I got to the second to last one.

    Its a long story(mainly because I need to explain the challenge) so I'll spoiler tag it:
    Spoiler
    Show

    So this is the challenge:

    You have 26 Islands(all untapped) in play and an Archaeomancer.

    Your hand is:
    Spectral Flight
    Rite of Replication
    Talrand, Sky Summoner
    Volition Reigns
    Aether Adept

    Your Graveyard:
    2 Rite of Replication
    Hysterical Blindness
    Unsummon
    Reality Spasm
    Diminish
    Inundate
    Downpour

    Your Opponent is at 6 and has:
    24 Forests(all untapped) a Acidic Slime tapped, a Ursapine tapped, and Nature's Revolt in play with no hand.

    The solution I thought of:
    Cast Spectral Flight on one of your Islands(you have 23 lands untapped(well 24 but the spectral flighted one needs to attack). Cast Volition Reigns on one of your opponents Forests(17). Cast Aether Adept returning Archaeomancer to your hand(13). Cast Archaeomancer targetting Reality Spasm(9). Cast Rite of Replication targeting the opponents Ursapine(5). Activate the Ursapine's ability with your Forest, making your spectral flighted Island a 5/5. Cast Reality Spasm for 1(2) untapping your forest. Activate Ursapine's ability one more time making your land a 6/6. Kill your opponent.

    However if you Volition Reigns a forest, it has a summoning sickness and cannot tap. Which would be fine if you could not clearly see(as Duels shows whether or not something has summoning sickness by animating a little whirlpool above it) that none of your opponents 24 forests have summoning sickness.

    I was thoroughly annoyed by this as hear I was, thinking I had solved the challenge, and the game just said NOPE. Can't do that. Try something else. I've been frustrated by the challenges before, but that has always been because I tried something and it didn't quite get there. But this... this was annoying.

    Anyway the real solution
    Spoiler
    Show
    involves casting a bunch of rite of replications to eventually give yourself an Ursapine, 5 forests, and an acidic slime. You slime the Nature's Revolt and pump your non-summoning sick archaeomancer 5 times for lethal.

    Which in my totally unbiased opinion is not nearly as cool as my solution.

    Anyway, figured I would share this with you. Duels 2013 is surprisingly good and I'm still having fun, but its a bit unpolished in places(this is the only time that's actually come out in gameplay though). Simply replacing the Reality Spasm with say, Gigadrowse, would keep the "trap" card of the X-Tapper there without leading to another solution.


    tl;dr I thought I solved the challenge but was stopped by something that was untrue about the game state.
    When you are first born, the universe assigns you a secret luck value. The quality of your life, dice rolls, and how friendly your DM is are all influenced by the luck value. It is the universe's secret social experiment. So if you been rolling poor, it is only because you were assigned low luck value by the universe. You can raise your luck value only through proper dice rolling rituals.

    The game state was fine. A creature can't attack unless you controlled it continuously since the beginning of your last upkeep. If you steal something, it gets summoning sickness again.

    I was about to say he took a land and thus shouldn't be subject to summoning sickness, but then thought I should read more, and yhea the lands are creatures due to Nature's Revolt and thus are summoning sick.

    In other news, I just got back from a m13 draft which I came in joint 1st

    What did you draft? I have had the best results with evasive aggro cards + auras (Tormented soul is bonkers if you can give him a bit of power, like the Lifelink enchant, or the black ring, and Harbor Bandit is good on his own) but I still want to try green (Serra Spider and Rancor are really really strong cards).

    I played GW erm midrange(?) I guess. I won by turning guys sideways. This was my deck:
    Spoiler
    Show
    1xBond Beetle
    2x Prey Upon
    1x Rancor (definitely awesome)

    1x Deadly Recluse
    1x Farseek
    1x Flinthoof Boar (it came down to this or a 2nd plument, thought a bear was better. Never drew it thought)
    1x Quiriron Dryad (should proabbly have been in a less green heavy deck, but otherwise seemed cool)
    1x Plumet
    1x Ring of Kalonia
    1x Ring of Thune (Both rings were cool)

    1x Attended Knight
    1x Oblivion Ring
    1x Centaur Courser

    1x Divine Verdict
    1x Pillarfield Ox
    1x Prized Elephant (definitely a prize, I think most my winds came from this)
    1x Primal Huntbeast
    1x Roaring Primadox

    1x Battleflight Eagle (Fun with primadox)
    1x Serra Angel
    1x Acidic Slime
    1x Garruk's Packleader

    1x Sunpetal Grove
    9x Forest
    7x Plains


    I would say that I got away with any bad choices in my deck because the other players were less skilled than me, and I'd only say I'm a bad to moderate player.

    Pretty sure the "3 Dryads as 1" is actually just Chorus of the Conclave, except maybe a new card.

    In other news, I was wrong about enemy color-block (though I really wish they'd do it sometime), draft format looks awesome.

    So continuing the theme of first times from my last post I did my first Draft last night and did alright.... I think. I had to leave a round early as we didn't start drafting until an hour after we should have and I need to get a train back from events so I only played 3 rounds and got 1 draw, 1 win 2-1 and 1 loss 1-2. All the players there had drafted before which put me at a slight disadvantage though from what I heard people talking about before drafting started not many people wanted to play red so I decided I'd try and nab the cards for an aggressive red deck. I ended up going Red with a tiny splash of green, getting Krenko early secured the idea that I'd be playing red and trying to get extra goblins.

    Due to luckily picking one of the same colours as I did in the pre-release I had some insight to what's good in that colour for limited format but still felt really overwhelmed by the whole drafting process and what's good in limited. Ah well I suppose with practice I'll get better and I enjoyed the whole affair with my planning on building a standard constructed goblin deck going ahead and the player that I think went on to come first saying if I needed specific cards for it he'd get hold of them for me.

    'Line' (is it spoilers to call a set by it's actual name once it has been announced?)

    Pretty sure the "3 Dryads as 1" is actually just Chorus of the Conclave, except maybe a new card.

    In other news, I was wrong about enemy color-block (though I really wish they'd do it sometime), draft format looks awesome.

    The three dryads very very specifically described as 'not the Chorus of the Conclave, who are no longer with us'.

    Return To Ravnica:
    Spoiler

    The Magic: The Gathering Facebook page has 18 photos listed Return to Ravnica Block Art Previews.
    The first is Jace standing with Niv Mizzet, which we've already seen.
    Then, there's a door or gate or something with the 10 guild symbols on it, followed by 5 beautiful landscapes, and 11 depictions of creatures and characters. One of which is Gideon standing with an angel and sporting a Boros symbol on his belt. You should be able to see them here.

    Enchantress uses Words of War combined with the usual Enchantresses. It's the closest you can get.

    I'm judging at TCG Orlando! I'll be judging feature matches for rounds 6 and 9, so look for me!

    Yeah. You can replace the Gilded Lotus and Torch Fiends with Omniscience to bring it down to 4 cards.

    The gnomes once had many mines, but now they have gnome ore.

    So does anyone have any idea when FtV: Realms is going to go on preorder for most places? I really want to get one, but I get the feeling it'll sell out really fast and I don't want to miss the date.
