Thursday, August 21st – Hello my friends, and welcome back to the weekly column dedicated to the realm of the casual. I am your host, back from a long list of posts on the Five Color Ruling Council group, here to let you know all of the stuff happening in Five Color right now.
Thursday, August 14th – Hello folks, and welcome back to the article series that explores the casual world. I am your guide, taking you into both the unexplored and the bustling areas of the land. Today I want to talk about a multiplayer theory that I call the Density of Creatures. Allow me to demonstrate with a situation at a five-way multiplayer table…
Thursday, August 7th – Today is my normal scheduled article assessing the latest set according to the Five Color format, finally getting published. My computer is back so I have the extra articles I wrote available to me. In addition to Five Color, I will also be highlighting cards that I like for multiplayer, when one is good enough to get some press.
Thursday, July 31st – Wizards of the Coast had to know that, when they printed the unconventional bounce spell of Banishing Knack, someone would use and abuse it. Why not have that someone be me?
Thursday, July 24th – Welcome to the Thursday column dedicated to bringing you topics pertinent to the largest chunk of Magic players out there, the casual world. This is your pilot, cruising with you to a nice altitude in search of new worlds for the column to explore. Today I want to write about a topic that weighs heavy on the hearts of casual players everywhere. I want to talk about land destruction.
Thursday, July 17th – Today’s article is the third installment of The Magic Role-Playing Game. The last article was published back in January, so I felt it was time for another supplement. The Magic RPG is my most popular work. I suspect that it will endure for a long time, and it’s my favorite contribution to the game. I have had people tell me that playing The Magic RPG has changed their Magic gaming experience forever, and I am humbled by this.
Thursday, July 10th – The Compendium of Alternate Formats is designed to be a collection of interesting formats for you to share and to which you might introduce your playgroup. In today’s article, I am going to introduce the format, then talk about some of the details. Once that is out of the way, I intend to build some decks to demonstrate the format. Simple, eh?
Thursday, July 3rd – Today I will be producing what I consider to be a general casual B&R list. If you use this list, then your decks will no longer need to be any particular format at your casual table. It has the potential to create consistency in the casual world, as long as everyone uses one list. So, why should I be the arbiter of the list, as opposed to anyone else? Great question!
Thursday, June 26th – I love alternate formats. I also love deckbuilding challenges. Last week, you saw me build decks with more and more random cards added to the mix, and it was tough. Those sorts of challenges inspire me. Today I will be providing for you a new Scavenger Hunt.
Thursday, June 19th – Hello readers! I am your Charon, charting a course across the River Styx of Magic. Today I am going to concentrate on some happy decks with the main card determined by casting lots. (Otherwise known as rolling dice.) However, this time I am going to do something different. Each time I roll a new card, I have to use all of the old cards in the new deck…
Thursday, June 12th – Although I find the name “Mythic Rare†to be a bit ostentatious, the idea of a super rare has become industry standard for a while. Last year, WizKids moved to the more traditional common/uncommon/rare/super rare model, and their sales increased as a result. You simply cannot argue with facts.
Thursday, June 5th – Today, I am writing a sequel to my previous casual toolkit article that talked about countermagic. In this article, I intend to give you kind folks a chance to see different sorts of creature removal.
Tuesday, May 27th – Is Akroma scaring you? Do you fear that your combo deck will be stopped just as you are ready to go off? Perhaps you fear someone else playing the combo, and defeating your creature deck? That’s why you need… countermagic!
Thursday, May 22nd – Hello folks, and welcome to the column that explores the casual. I am your miner, Abe Sargent, digging for precious nuggets of casual Magic goodness. Last week I offered all of you kind folks an opportunity to send in some decks built using at least one Shadowmoor card. With such an easy task, how many entries did I get?
Thursday, May 15th – Bonjour mes amis! Welcome to the next entry in the journal of all things casual. I am your scribe, bringing you the poems and diatribes of Magic for the casual crowd. As promised in previous articles, today I am going to create several decks around Shadowmoor cards.
