[scryfall]Favorable Winds[/scryfall] is back. I don’t think anyone was glamoring for it, but it might have it’s uses. Let’s see what could benefit from it.

Ixalan Brews, pt. 5 – Pirates
First thing you should always do when brewing decks is figuring out what you can do with the mana. Of course, only a select few actually do this, because it’s much more fun to start with those interesting cards or synergies. Still, this is the way you should do it. (Yeah, I don’t either.)
Ixalan Brews, pt. 5 – Boros Vehicles
This is an actual deck, but it does lose certain parts of it, namely [scryfall]Thraben Inspector[/scryfall], [scryfall]Needle Spires[/scryfall] and possibly some other cards, but the core of the deck should still be there. But how about if we go a little bigger and find ourselves a new set of drivers, because everyone loves a dinosaur piloting an airship? Right?
Ixalan Brews, pt. 4 – Monowhite Token Horde
Ankylosaurus a bit costly creature, but intesting. We’ll see if that’s the actual name, but the text as translated on MythicSpoilers is as follows:
“Ankylosaurus”
5W
Creature – Dinosaur
Enrage – Whenever Ankylosaurus is dealt damage, put a +1/+1 counter on each other creature you control.
3/5
The interesting thing here is the combo with [scryfall]Walking Ballista[/scryfall].
Trying Out: Commander 2017
Last night we gathered together to try out the new Magic the Gathering pre-constructed Commander decks. Four players, four decks and about four hours of fun! In this post I will be summarising our experiences on the playability of the pre-constructed decks and share our initial feeling about how it all went.
Ixalan Brews, pt. 3 – Ramp
One of the problems in recent history was that there weren’t really good four mana green creatures. Why was that a problem? Because there were plenty of two costing mana elves. If you play those, you want to play a four drop to play on turn three. Sure, there is [scryfall]Bristling Hydra[/scryfall], which is still quite strong, but there’s some new ones in the new set. (Actually, [scryfall]Crocodile of the Crossing[/scryfall] is quite underappreciated as well.)
Ixalan Brews, pt. 2 – Monoblue Jace
Wow, a Jace I actually like. Now, don’t get me wrong. There’s been powerful Jace’s before, but this one I like for how it works and there’s a huge difference there.
Ixalan Brews, pt. 1 – Grixis Reanimator
I don’t think this is a good idea, but has that ever stopped me from brewing before? Obviously that was just a rhetoric question, but it shouldn’t anyone, because you never know where the really workable ideas lie.
Building My Own Cube 2, pt. 2 – Preliminary Green
The idea I started with was that green was going to be the control color. I gave each color 50 cards, and this is what I think green should look like at this point.
