Trailblazer's Boots is Constructed Playable - LSV

[Thomas David Baker]

"For example, we found that just by adding Trailblazer’s Boots to the Boros sideboard, it made the RUG matchup way more favorable. One tutorable card that nullified all the blockers the RUG deck had was huge, and it made games way tougher for the control deck, since none of the chump blockers mattered in the late game ...  In fact, the Boots alone almost made Josh audible to Boros the night before."

I remember being told that Trailblazer's Boots is bad in another discussion. I guess the tutorability helps it though. That and people have more non-basic lands.

could fit in the Naya shell quite easily I guess - suit up a large knight and go to town

Do you think the next advancement would be to add in Grappling hook as well for double striking unblockable-ness?

yeah you're probably right, trample is just like being unblockable only with added removal, and lifelink is often v. relevant

Try reading quotes Gary ;) Paul's comment was about the application of the boots in a standard deck.

In the sense of, "like a fine wine", indubitably.

Don't be silly, bears can't wear boots. Their claws are too big.
