Sayonara, Anthony – and hello to the last of the Hall of Fame, an updated spreadsheet link that works *ahem*, and miscellany!

Anthony looks back at the Hall, and tells you all how to graduate with honors from the Along School Of Multiplayer Magic…. Or he would, if you ever graduated. Also included: The entire Hall, sortable across colors and types!

Casual Fridays closes with a bang today in three separate articles today as Anthony gives his take on the finest artifacts for multiplayer!

The numbers mix-up is done… And by Jeezum crow, the complete downloadable spreadsheet is here at last! And while gold cards may not be in Onslaught, but they’re still the lifeblood of many casual players! Find out Alongi’s top 35 picks, and his suggestions for multiplayer staples.

#140, #142, #145, #143, and NOW it’s #144? Well, the Ferrett’s evidently gone off his rocker, but it’s too late to do anything now. And unlike the editor’s righteous inconsistency, I start off the blue section of the Hall of Fame pretty much the same way every time, telling you how blue has a lousy time in multiplayer – its natural strength in duel is its major weakness in group.

Red’s trade-offs usually feel pretty chaotic -“I can get a powerful effect, but I’m likely to get burned in the process (either by actually getting burned, or losing random cards).” Black’s trade-offs are a bit more cold and calculating -“I lose this predictable resource to make X happen to everyone else.” So how does black fare in multiplayer?

The thirty-five best white cards in multiplayer, plus over ten neatly organized staples for you law-and-order types. And a request to prove Anthony wrong! Shouldn’t be too hard, folks.

Anthony’s last week at StarCity starts off with the thirty-five best red cards in multiplayer… Plus over ten”staples” every self-respecting mountain mage has in their collection! Which Onslaught card has zoomed to #9 on the list? No, it’s not Insurrection.

Before you start the Hall (which begins today), read this primer so you know how to get the most out of its new, interactive features! Damn, we’re starting to look good on this site – and we’ll look even better now that Alongi’s announcing his StarCity retirement, which should also boost our image.

When Theo actually managed to get a Mirari down (round 8, well after my deck should have produced one), I was pretty sure we were finished. But lo! Hope springs eternal. I drew Capsize… And that’s where The Mistake came in.

Wanna hear about a new Team Sealed with four packs? How about an all-green super-highlander variant, and the power card that Anthony misses? Check it out and say howdy!
