It will be the Shadows of Innistrad ban announcement. They get to use it to push Oath packs, and then use the upcoming Eldrazi fiasco in March as the excuse to drop a ban in April.

I just rebuilt Jund with nothing but hand disruption, creature removal, surgical and extirpate, Lilly and man lands.

My buddy plays Eldrazi black and couldn't keep up. Every time he cast something I killed it and removed all copies from the game then came in swinging with man lands when he didn't have anything left. Also turn 1 ghost quartered his eye and extracted it.

Pretty satisfying.

Have you seen the deck? There's hardly any decisions; It's pretty much cast the biggest thing you can most of the time, and even if you somehow screw that part up you're still probably fine. I had a perfectly fine draw with Blue Tron and still lost to the worst player I've ever played against. But he drew 3 Thought-Knots, 2 Reality Smashers, and several sol lands both games. Though in my defense, in game 1 the top 30 cards of my deck had exactly 7 spells (aka I drew, discarded, or scryed away every single land in my deck) and the MTGO shuffler decided that there weren't lands in my deck for game 2.

Play the good Tron deck that actually has a decent Eldrazi matchup. They pretty much can't beat a resolved World Breaker.

how does that deck work when 16 of its cards are locked out by chalice

o yeah sylvan scrying is basically locked out too because chalice shuts off most of the ways to get green

If you don't have the right kind of draw, a T1 Chalice on the Draw is very hard to beat but It's not like that isn't good vs alot of other decks... If you're on the play and you can lead with Urza Land + Map or egg then their chalice becomes pretty bad.

This isn't true. I do enjoy giving him a hard time about Blue Tron though.

It turns out that when you can cast them for 1-3 mana less than you're supposed to be able to, bad cards are pretty playable.

When you sacrifice a clue token, put a mystery counter on Jinkies.

During your upkeep, if Jinkies has five or more mystery counters, you win the game.

Honestly I love the idea behinds clues so much right now, and we've only seen what, one card with it so far?

+1: Investigate. (Put a colorless Clue artifact token onto the battlefield with "2, Sacrifice this artifact: Draw a card.")
-3: You may sacrifice any number of Clue artifacts. For each artifact you sacrifice this way, draw two cards.
-6: Name a legendary creature, a land and an Equipment card, then draw 4 cards and reveal any number of cards your hand. You win the game if you reveal a card with each name in your hand.

WOTC doesn't make fun cards anymore though, but the checklist card spoiled something named "Uninvited Geist" so maybe they loosened up a bit.
