In OBC alone, there are at least four solid U/G decks I can count:”Mongrel Madness,” U/G Upheaval, Quiet Roar, and lately I’ve seen a bounce-heavy variant running Wonder, Elephant Guide, and Cephalid Constable. All share similarities, but have enough differences to be considered unique.
Hey. You. Wanna win some stuff? Know something about Magic storylines? Well, why not try your hand at Daniel’s latest trivia quiz?
I’ve played my deck in tournaments three times since Regionals – and won them all. I stopped playing it when people started bitching about the deck… And did I mention that it beats Tog consistently and sideboards to make that beating as regular as my grandma on Metamucil?

Sometimes it pays to keep your mouth shut. I try to be a good strategy writer, but when you have a lot of blank space to fill you sometimes pepper your work with stream of consciousness snippets that aren’t exactly”tech.” In fact, some of the things said are damn near criminal.
Doc, tell me straight out: Can this Reanimator deck be competitive in the current format? And what can we learn about how Reanimator decks work in general?

I played Asheron’s Call – I mean I played. Like”twelve hours per day, hook up a coffee IV and let it drip” played. And I know exactly how people rip you off in online games, and you need to know how they’ll screw you on MOL if you’re not careful.
