Well that's good news about Mark Rosewater, I reminisce about the days where I could play Khalni Hydra and Emrakul and Jin Gitaxias if I wanted too in one deck. You are correct about modern masters. And yes, expensive.
Yes, granted, some of these cards are actually good and not just unfairly broken. In fact, most of these cards should be reprinted, and maybe Wizards wants them to be, but just haven't found a good set to reprint them in.
There definitely are reasons why some of these aren't being reprinted. Some of the best cards like Mind Sculptor and Mystical Tutor aren't being reprinted for one reason: they are broken to no end. The Jace's -12 ability makes your opponent lose automatically. Mystical Tutor is sort of like the Demonic Tutor, but only with sorceries and instants. Sorry Standard.
If you aren't scared of big prices, I don't see any harm in adding Azusa, Lost But Seeking in this. It could help you with your stoke the flames AND doom engine
Ok that was unclear to me. Thank you for clearing up the confusion! Also sorry for me being stupid I just watched The Matrix and Inception and nothing makes sense anymore
If you intend to keep Doom Engine out, Shrapnel Blast isn't very good. I already have like 10 cards I could think of that could take it's place.
This deck is extremely cool! My one question: no Pontiff of Blight? REALLY? Pontiff would be great in this deck, giving all creatures extort.
I do completely agree with you that this deck is a pain in the ass to face. Wizards should make a card to make mill decks useless, ex, 'Cards in your library can't be put into your graveyard by spells or abilities'. It would be amazing in a sideboard.
Not necessarily, though. In fact, it is as likely that it will take the 3,464 days to get the combo as getting the combo itself, seeing as the combo can occur at any given moment. You could get the combo on your first game. You also assume that you would be playing near 40 games a day by your "calculations". I don't know how anyone finds time to play 40 games of Magic the Gathering in a day, consecutively, for almost 9 and a half YEARS in a row, let alone the fact the each game is 10 minutes long. That is completely and utterly absurd. (By the way, MrHarmful, the comma goes after the first letter in 3,464, thank you. I'm surprised no one has called you out on this already.) However, Knight, there is one thing I see wrong with your calculations. Nothing against them, they are pretty dang cool, but you haven't taken in the fact that you need Chancellor of the Spires and Ghost Quarter if the combo described in the How to Play box is to work.
