Geordie Tait began playing Magic in 1998, and went on to become one of the most popular StarCityGames.com columnists in the site's history. After a brief hiatus from the game, Geordie is back, and better than ever.

The Daily Shot: Judgment Prerelease’s Ride Down And Deck Construction

Contrary to popular myth surrounding Magic players in general, I have in fact gotten some throughout the course of my various temporary relationships – and even that doesn’t compare to winning a prerelease and taking home two boxes.

The Daily Shot: Milwaukee, Compulsion, And Team Names From Hell

What’s the best card with to break Standstill with? Though I didn’t realize it before, reading Milwaukee match coverage tuned me into the fact that Compulsion is a great answer to Standstill, and I’m going to put a few in any control deck I try.

Regionals Report Prequel – The Development Of School Canoe

Well, maybe Geordie can’t play Type One… But he can discuss his extensive playtesting for Regionals and show you what sorts of mutations a deck goes through before the Big Push.

8 in 10: You CAN’T Write Infinite Articles On Type 1

We didn’t think he could do it… And by God, he couldn’t, only managing to produce a paltry eight daily articles before collapsing in a heap of body fluids. Still, he manages to pound out a tourney report that lovingly takes Oscar Tan and bends him over his knee.

Five in Five: Friday Night Magic And Creative Civil Disobedience

For the seventh day in a row, this maniac is submitting amusing reports mixed in with Type 2 information. How long CAN he keep it up? In the meantime, enjoy some thoughts on Kibler’s RUG and why it’s okay to take a whiz on a statue of Canadian prime minister John Diefenbaker.

Judgment All-Stars: The Lands

He claims he’s like the Energizer Bunny of Magic writing – pink, obnoxious, and sporting no obvious genitalia. Now me, I’m just curious to see how long he can keep pushing out these”article-a-day” essays before he cracks.

Five Articles In Five Days: Green Judgement All-Stars…Plus Gold Cards!

Your cards will NOT balance out, despite what the law of averages might say. Lady Luck owes you nothing, and if pressed, she will pay you nothing. Some good advice in general… And it also includes, for the first time, the GEORDIE TAIT BUILD YOUR OWN REVIEW!

Five Articles In Five Days: Red Judgment All-Stars!

Zvi has Pro Tour experience and a rep as a rogue deckbuilder to review these cards. I can only offer anecdotes replete with”drive-by sack moonings” and tales of urination on statues. Oh, and some ideas for Red deckbuilding.

Five Articles In Five Days: Black Judgment All-Stars And The Quotable Magic Yoda

What if I played Magic like Yoda, the diminutive Jedi Master from the Star Wars movies of George Lucas? I have some ideas on what would happen. I also have some ideas on what black Judgement cards will do to Type 2, but they’re not nearly as amusing.

Five Articles In Five Days: Blue’s Judgement All-Stars

Blue has some good cards in Judgement. (Hand off the keyboard.) Yeah, my reputation is safe. For my next piece of analysis, I’ll talk about how there’s a good chance of instability in the Middle East.

A Grab For The Legacy: Five Articles In Five Days!

I think I can be the next Rizzo, or at least a reasonable facsimile… And so I’m going to go over the Judgement cards for Constructed, a color a day, while including foul jokes and unrepentant humor.

The Road To Ontario Regionals

The Oshawa YMCA has a very nice swimming pool. It has somewhat of a stigma attached to it as far as Magic is concerned, though – if you’re playing anywhere near it, it means you are, for lack of a better turn of phrase,”sucking huge”.

Aborted Regionals Tech, Part 2: Return Of The Janki

Welcome, all rubberneckers, to Aborted Regionals Tech Part 2 – where our decks are to Magic theory as JFK Jr. is to aviation.

Aborted Regionals Tech: Three Of The Worst Decks EVER

If you’re anything like me, you find some pretty embarrassing aborted attempts at technology when cleaning out your Apprentice”Decks” folder. Of course, everyone has ideas that just don’t go anywhere – it’s nothing to be of which to be ashamed. You’ll be sitting by yourself, maybe munching on something while you’re surfing around, and WHAM!…

Grand Prix Tourney Report *35th* Part 2

The extra card was only in my hand for about 0.5 of a second before Amos and I both noticed – but it didn’t matter- it had been in my hand. I’m sure there are parts of his job that Mr. Donais doesn’t like, and telling some poor guy from Sarnia that he’s getting a…
