At which point you'll have 2 months of 500$ fun and make the same post again a month after that.

But at least it'll be on a plane where if red sucks I can lose all faith in Standard RDW ever being good again.

Unless there is a huge shift in design philosophy the new structure of standard will ensure RDW is never a deck outside of the first two weeks again.

So turns out Jace and Lili up-ticking is pretty mean.

Edit: Also turns out when Spell Queller is the last card in your hand you should use it against your opponents Lili so they can't put Delirium Mythic Spider back into their hand. Spell queller would have also been able to swing for lethal...

RDW is one of the top decks in the format. It just uses white mana this set.

I imagine that most Magic players think that you can have brother-in-laws, judging by their use of English.

She posted in the local Asheville group page looking to buy spell quellers and a tamiyo this past week so I'm guessing bant something.

Based on Spell Queller's apparent domination over the current set of top decks, how powerful do you think a big R/x deck revolving around Dank Dwellers could be going forward?

It's okay, justice prevails - he re-melded, and his opponent drew.. his 4th Reflector Mage. Not this time!

Bant (Company) with both Queller and Tamiyo? I would like to see that. I was skeptical about Tamiyo, but seeing her in action makes her seem pretty legit.

Happened with Jace before it, happened with Devotion too, it'll happen to the next cool thing that dominates and becomes overexposed.

Some of my friends have been trying Commander recently, and as it so happens, I pulled Gisa and Geralf out of a pack today. I guess I just fill the deck up with zombies, add some blue cards, and mill my own library into the graveyard to win?

I would go with things that put cards in your grave for value, not straight-up self-mill.

That reflector top deck to make the game a draw is horseshit. Just concede to the deck that is beating you, is harder to pilot, and is playing new cards.

Cost reduction effects (like Bedlam Reveler) don't change the CMC value while on the stack, right?
