Hope this helps. Good Luck.

How is this legal?

It's not. He's counterfeiting. I would urge you to contact WOTC about this site.

Is there another formula or solid that is adept at removing the ink from a card?  It really sucks to just color over the ink.

I use scotch tape and a small square of 400-grit sandpaper. Just mask off the area you want to take off and sand for about a minute. Finish with a slightly damp paper towel to get rid of the leftover dust and you have a nice white (& smooth) canvas to work with. So far it's the only method I've found that requires the least amount of effort. Smile

What about splashing black for Lim-Dul's Vault? You could find Draco, put him on top of your library and have a possible turn 2 or 3 hit for 16.

Just a thought.

Actually, that doesn't work. Cloud of Faeries, like Palinchron, Great Whale, Preist of Gix, and a couple other mana-generating creatures, has been errata'd to only work if you played it from your hand (like hypnox). This stopped a few annoying infinite combos back when they were T2 legal.


D'oh! Thanks for the clarification, Jacob. I won't make that mistake again and as long as it still works with Standstills I'll keep testing it out in my version. Cool

Has anyone thought about sideboarding Aether Vial? I started doing it since Landstill has showed up quite a bit in my meta.

Aether Vial
1
Artifact
At the beginning of your upkeep, you may put a charge counter on Aether Vial.
Tap: You may put a creature card with converted mana cost equal to the number of charge counters on Aether Vial from your hand into play.


There have been quite a few times where I've gone:

Turn 1: Island, Aether Vial, go
Turn 2: put counter on Aether Vial, Land, play Standstill, tap Aether Vial: play Grim Lavamancer
Turn 3: Put counter on Aether Vial,  Land, play 2cc creature off Vial
Turn 4+: Wash, Rinse, Repeat until Standstill is broken

It also makes a nice surprise element when the opponent thinks they are safe to play a bomb when you are tapped out (Aether Vial in Cloud of Faeries, untap 2 lands, use Voidmage's ability).

I'm interested in everyone's thoughts on this. Do you think Aether Vial would make the cut in a competitive deck?
