Is this a commercial for drugs?

By far, this is why I visit the mana drain.  Thank you sir!

Also, I expect one of the SCG writers to take up the "Ichor" cause....brassman, go for the throat.

This is easily the best thing I have read on TheManaDrain in at least 6 months, if not double that. Bravo, sir.

PM inbound.

This was awesome. I am glad to see that the E-Book phenomenon is taking off in Vintage.

Top Secret, have you considered how Leyline of the Void might impact your deck? I fear that it would basically ruin your card advantage engine of Wellspring.

The other problem that this deck faces is a lack of Atog. Atog + Ichor Wellspring is basically an absurdly powerful combo.

I think your U Ichor deck is not nearly optimal because you somehow forgot about Transmute Artifact.  You can Transmute an Ichor Wellspring for another Ichor Wellspring and draw 2 cards!  Do you know why Wizards has never printed a card that costs UU and says "Draw 2 cards"?  Because it's too fucking broken to exist, that's why.

You tutor for Hornet Sting when they’re at one.

My coworkers looked at me wondering why I was laughing at work Smile 

That is perfect tech that knows no format boundaries.  Get ready tier 3 standard.

But in all seriousness I can't afford to do this more than once. If people want to donate a couple bucks then I will probably write some more, but as it stands I just went to an interview for a second job and I'm also a full time student. That said, I am really glad that people enjoyed what I wrote and thanks for reading.

That guy just sent you one hundred trillion dollars....thats not enough?

I almost didnt read this. Then I found an ichor wellspring chillin with a teddy bear (not full of heroin, no worries) layin under my bed, and I thought wait, did I put these here? And then I thought no, so I decided to research it. My research kept leading back here.

I don't understand what this means, but I like it.
