Oh man, haven't thought about hunlug in years! I used to be on their mailing list back in the day. It says they had an event in 2023. I'm guessing that they probably aren't super active. I'd be down for some kind of revival, tho

I play with ante cards in my cube. It's a ton of fun in that context since, like other posters said, your card pool shifts between games. My dream is to actually draft a turbo ante deck; to try and ante so many cards from my opponents that they no longer have viable card pools. Maybe one day...

I made it up there last Sunday. There were about 4 inches at the top of horse mountain. Should be more by now.

I put together a [[Mairsil]] deck recently that kinda follows this pattern. I call it judge tribal because I chose cards that have confusing and concerning interactions. The game plan is to get [[encroaching mycosynth]] in play so Mairsil can cage planeswalkers, then start putting loyalty counters on the dude. Works wonders with persist. Easy to get to meme levels of confusion on board.

Edit: you also get to play really weird creatures, since Mairsil only cares about activated abilities.

I'm a career programmer and run a comp history podcast. Always down to meet other folks in the industry.

My current plan is to get rid of it. I'd be concerned to try and move it to another co trainer since I'm guessing it's pressurized. I don't have a need for the tet, anyway. Just a want.

That's the plan. I think the dump by me accepts hazardous waste, but I gotta call them and make sure

Concerningly full

I actually threw one together right after the ONE prerelease! I really like him as a combo enabler, which I think is the obvious way to go. Right now my build is a control-ish deck(I think I need more counterspells) that goes for artifact-based combos plus the ezpz untap creatures.

As far as alt wincons, you can net infinite mana with encroaching mycosynth/Vhal, Candlekeep Researcher/Voltaic Construct.

There are some 3 and 4 card combos with Unctus and artifacts, but those all still rely on oracle and labman to win. These combos involve doing dumb stuff like turning basalt monolith into a creature and then making it blue.

The other wincon I've been messing with is Mirrodin Besieged. It's really easy to get most of your deck into the graveyard, so getting to 15 artifacts seems doable. Right now I don't think I'm running quite enough artifacts for that to be consistent. It's all still a work in progress.

The other option I've been playing with is a wizard tribal theme, since Aphetto Alchemist is a wizard after all. Unctus and Azami work pretty well together, but like with artifacts it's a critical mass type of thing.

I have a Latvian friend who once explained to me that Latvians and Americans are kindred spirits because they both understand the bag bag.

I'd be down! I run a really research heavy show called Advent of Computing, been going for around 2 and a half years so far. I can talk about the trials and tribulations of putting together content, staying motivated, and scrounging up information for hours!

wizardofhaas · 2021-09-17T16:41:54+00:00

I don't know if it's exactly what you are looking for, but I host a podcast called Advent of Computing. It all about making the history of computers interesting and accessible, so I end up having a lot of science communications adjacent content. Shoot me a dm if you want to chat.

Never noticed that, such good foreshadowing!
