2) City actually prevents the opponent from *playing* Bazaars.   When you have cards like Tangle Wire in your deck, that means less permanents your opponent can have in play.   Incidentally, this is the only card in Magic (that I'm aware of) that prevents you from playing a land (LOL).

Also, I added an interesting way to get 10% off your next tournament entry fee!  Take a look at the original announcement!

26 players today!! As everyone already knows... Colby was a no show

Colby - you can come. But I will not go any further than that, so you don't get any ideas of attempting to sexually harass me at the event. Thank you.

Ok, dumb question. How exact to the guidelines to these proxies have to be? I'm trying the acetone method and it is going horribly.

I liked Voyager Staff in Sharuum, since it makes her decently hard to kill.  I had other things to use it on occasionally though, especially Duplicant.

Seems like Trinisphere isn't all that popular of a card among shop players in Europe.  Interesting....

I would certainly run Dreamstone Hedron:

Mana to dump my hand then draw tons of cards with Sharuum? Yes please.

Also where is Tinker? Too busted for your play group? :S (pfft Fabricate ew)

I would also consider Inkwell Leviathan if you ever start having problems ending the game. (which you currently don't seem to be having problems doing XD)

Time Stop is another Time Walk that can't be Misdirected even though your opponent gets to untap, but it can also double as a counterspell so... :O

Last Word is sweet since you seem afraid of Misdirection I'd say your playgroup is blue-heavy. Sometimes you just need to say "NO MEANS NO".

Complicate is another counter to watch out for if your playgroup likes tapping out. :O

Speaking of cycling Decree of Silence is more or less uncounterable or a really nice lock bomb if you drop it.

Dissipate is similar to Hinder except good against non-generals.

Dromar's/Esper Charms are good flex slots.

Overrule if you find yourself going into the red zone alot.

And finally Wizard Replica if you want a counterspell that Sharuum can fetch (even though it kind of sucks)

Also if you face swarm decks Engineered Explosives is total hot sauce especially with the mass recursion you have. Its like Maze of Ith on crack against weenie/swarm decks and you can tutor for it a hell of a lot easier. :O

Just some ideas that you don't seem to need with that really impressive record. XD

Holy crap that Remora and those MUD lists look so damn scary.

There's a couple of things wrong with this:
1.) Rhystic Study is the best draw per mana investment blue card, bar none, in multiplayer. If Ancestral Recall were legal, this would still hold true. That's a pretty ballsey statement but you won't see how true it is until you've counted the number of cards you draw with this along a significant enough time line and do the math.
2.) You're comparing it to Mind's Eye, a more expensive card which requires you keep mana open to use. Sure, Mind's Eye will get you some return but while you're doing that, you're not doing other stuff with your mana. Rhystic Study just sits there netting you cards or slowing your opponents down. Study also comes down earlier to net cards off your opponents' development while you're free to just draw and play. At some point opponents will have to decide between letting you draw and doing stuff and you'll just sit there and profit.
3.) You're not playing a mana denial strategy but I think you can see how easily you could and how much of a beating Study would be with that.
4.) While they are killing your Study, they aren't killing any important artifacts. Sure, you make their enchantment-only removal more relevant but generally EDH cares a little more about cards being able to do multiple things so the spell that kills your Study more than likely could have been used to kill another key permanent that will now survive a little longer.


I suppose this depends on your Duels but it's an effect you'd rather have than not have. Putting someone's DSC, Eldrazi, Terastadon, Iona, Akroma, Magister Sphinx or whatever into play on turn 2-3 (given your accelleration, that's pretty do-able) has probably just won you the game.

This is considered by a lot of people to be one of the most unfair effects in a single card in the game. EDH wants you to play big and Bribery kicks you in the teeth for doing that.
