Remember [scryfall]Treasure Cruise[/scryfall]? This isn’t quite that. You have to actually pay two for the effect..

The Magical History of Fact or Fiction
Fact or Fiction
is very strong. It dominated during its time in Standard (or Type 2), while still being a favorite in Commander, Conspiracy, Vintage Masters and Eternal Masters. It made its way into FTV20 as well, which was a collection of 20 cards that had dominated tournaments during each of the first 20 years of Magic’s history and its in pretty good company. Its very popular, but hasn’t been reprinted in Modern, but it has a few cousins.
The Magical History of Black Draw Spells
Since the early days of the game, black has been secondary with cards with blue being the king. Still, while blue’s history with this is all about changing costs and not much more, black has a more detailed history, which gives us clues into how WotC views different resources and their values.
The benchmark these days seems to be Read the Bones
, which is quite strong, seeing plenty of Standard play. But how did we get there?
Eldritch Moon Brews, pt. 9 – UW Spirits
I’ve been playing Tomoharu Saito’s UR Flash deck a lot recently. I love. I also like the Dragon variant, but [scryfall]Rattlechains[/scryfall] and [scryfall]Dimensional Infiltrator[/scryfall] is where its at for me. There already was a blue-white version of this deck, which also seems powerful, but this time it gets a huge boost in a couple of very good cards (okay, one good, two I think might very well make it):
Eldritch Moon Brews, pt. 8 – Rakdos Midrange
I would love the new Liliana here, but this deck probably won’t have that many creatures…
Eldritch Moon Brews, pt. 7 – BG Delirium
Maybe Sultai would be better, since [scryfall]Kiora, Master of the Depths[/scryfall] could be really great here, but I think this should be more aggressive, although I’m not quite sure of the right build, but the reasons I’m even talking about this are plentiful in EMN.
EDH Deck Time: Ishkanah
Eldritch Moon Brews, pt. 6 – The Deck No-one Wants to See
Eldritch Moon Brews, pt. 5 – BR Vampires! Finally? Please?
Would [scryfall]Lupine Prototype[/scryfall] be good here? Maaaaybe, but I’ll go for straight-up Vampire anyhow.
There’s already four rare options, although [scryfall]Voldaren Pariah[/scryfall] seems more like a sideboard card (for another deck, even).
Eldritch Moon Brews, pt. 4 – Big White
Seems to me, thusfar, white has gotten the best tools out of Eldritch Moon, which is a bit problematic, since it was already such a good color in Standard. There isn’t even much rotating out, when Kaladesh comes in. So, I thought why even play other colors? There were actually a couple of fairly well performing Big White decks early in the format, but they fell on the wayside for whatever reason. Still, the bomb contingency in this set is so good, I think this is something one might try… Is this going to be the most expensive monocolored deck in Standard ever?
