Today’s Online Outlook takes a peek at five recent Time Spiral Block Constructed 2x Premier Events. Each one qualified its respective Top 8 for the upcoming IPA event, and thus the turnout for each either placed in the top half of two figures or the bottom half of three. Many decks, strong fields, and an accurate look at the evolving metagame.
In a change from our advertized schedule, I’m veering away from the Online world this week, into the murkier, flabbier, and more pungent world of the Real Life PTQ. Join me for this inspiring tale of control mirrors, 13/13 regenerators, and Terry.
Grand Prix: Montreal is now behind us… and the decks that did well have insinuated themselves into the Magic Online metagame. Tarmogoyf, Korlash, Epochrasite, and the rest… who are the true winners from Future Sight, and who is failing to make the cut? All is revealed within… but first, a rant about poker.
After two long weeks of Future Sight Limited heartbreak, I’m back on the trail of the elusive Standard Metagame. Reports of the demise of Dragonstorm are greatly exaggerated… or are they? Plus, some new takes on the old Aggro favorites. And a Top 8 deck that… well, I saw a peanut stand, I saw a rubber band, I saw a needle that winked its eye… but I think I’ve seen about everything, now I’ve seen a turn 1 Fly(ing Men).
We’re currently going through a period of content restructuring here at StarCityGames.com. For more information, read on…
It’s Future Sight Release Week on Magic Online, which means only one thing… Release Week Premier Events! For my sins, I’ve entered three of these bad boys. My win record? Not so hot. Today’s Online Outlook takes a look at my three Sealed cardpools, reveals my builds (and records), and asks you folk if you could do any better…
As I mentioned last week, it’s a quiet time for the Online Magic community. I’ll admit, I’ve been entering eight-man Constructed queues and running through the odd TTP draft. I’m not alone, of course — hell, there’s at least seven other guys who’s had the same idea every time I play. So how do I drive away the doldrums? By playing Vanguard!
This week, I’m forgoing the usual metagame breakdowns — the format is about to radically shift, after all — and I’m bringing you an interesting little Black/White Control deck for the current Online Standard. It has a brilliant matchup against Dragonstorm and a good game versus Gruul. Intrigued? Then read on…
Today’s Online Outlook charts the past week’s Metagame Shift on Magic Online. I present twelve Top 8 breakdowns for your pleasure and perusal, and we can see just what’s winning — and what’s losing — in the ever-changing world of Magic Online. Does Dragonstorm still destroy? Is Gruul Cruel? Does Gruul actually rhyme with Cruel? Inquiring minds want to know!
In today’s Online Outlook, I confess my own guilty little secret… don’t worry, it’s nothing too salacious — we’re still a family friendly site. I also take a look at the smorgasbord that is the Magic Online Standard Metagame, and posit the theory that it’s possible to have both a well-defined and diverse metagame at the same time…
Bennie Smith’s column, You Lika The Juice, has now moved to Wednesday… meaning that from today, Monday is the official home of The Online Outlook! Today’s article, however, leaves the fabled shores of Magic Online for some real life, in-your-face Future Sight Prerelease action. Thrills, spills, and multiple cardpools… and a vow from me to never play Squall Line again.
After last week’s foray into Time Spiral Block Constructed, it’s time for me to wend my weary way back to the Standard streets. As usual, Magic Online has been awash with Premier Events, and I’ve trawled the Top 8 replays in order to bring you what’s winning and what’s losing. As we’ve nine Top 8s to work through today, I won’t waste your time with any more pointless introduction.
I love Block Constructed. I hope you do too. Let’s face it, Block is the Constructed format for the true connoisseur. You can keep your Vintage, your Legacy and Standard… Block is officially where it’s at! Today’s Online Outlook takes a look at the current Magic Online Block Constructed metagame… is Teferi conquering all, or does the Soltari Priest send everyone running for cover?
Today’s Online Outlook doesn’t mess about… it offers two IPA Qualifying tournament reports, and the complete rundown of the Top 8 Standard Premier Event results this past week. It also offers commentary on said results, and cries out for help with a Time Spiral Sealed cardpool. Yes folks, there’s something for everyone!
Today’s Online Outlook isn’t really about Magic Online at all… it’s about What Really Grinds My Gears. Don’t worry, I’ve not gone all Romeo on you. But I do have a few things that need saying. Of course, I couldn’t write a MTGO article without a little online content, so there’s a Premier Event tournament report for your amusement and ridicule.
