Daily Digest: The Zendikari Will Win
While we may have a month still to wait before Battle for Zendikar arrives on shelves, it’s not too soon to “gather your Allies” and battle in Modern.
Daily Digest: The Champ Is Here
Everything old is new again if you just wait long enough in this Standard metagame. The red-blue artifact deck returns, taking down Magic Online’s Standard Championships with a base-red deck full of burn and Ensoul Artifacts rather than the Pro Tour’s blue-based shell.
Daily Digest: How To Top 4 The World Championships
The inability of white to field a credible Devotion deck has been a long-running joke for this past year of Standard, but it finally got its moment to shine at the World Championships by getting Sam Black into the elimination rounds.
Video: Grixis Control In Modern
With Grixis decks of various stripes constituting several of Modern’s best decks, GerryT takes Grixis Control out for a spin to see how powerful Jace, Vryn’s Prodigy is in the format!
Daily Digest: An Unlikely Champion
It’s been quite a while since we’ve seen U/W Control at the top of the standings in Modern, but this weekend saw not one but two strong finishes for the archetype as it begins making its resurgence.
The Best Deck In Legacy
GerryT and two friends played Grixis Control to a combined 24-5 record in the Legacy portion of the Season Three Invitational, and as far as he’s concerned he’s found the best deck to play in all of Legacy!
Daily Digest: The Boss Returns
It’s been a while since we’ve seen Mono-Red do well in Standard, but new additions to compensate for the changes to the rest of the format might offer the deck a new lease on life now that the metagame is not fixated solely on attacking it out of existence.
Daily Digest: Bomberstone
Powerful combo decks utilizing two different combos that attack from separate angles will always give GerryT that warm fuzzy feeling, but it’s especially potent when the thing joining them is a tutor that otherwise optimizes the first combo anyway.
Daily Digest: The Real Counter-Burn
While we’re used to seeing Counterbalance only in the U/W Miracles deck, there’s no reason it can’t be used in other shells as well – as today’s deck showcases quite neatly.
Abzan Aggro Is The Best Deck
Abzan Aggro was top dog at the last major event, but Standard has proven to be very dynamic and we can’t be sure there is more metagame shifting yet to come. As the current best deck, what can we do to prepare for those changes and still thrive?
Daily Digest: The Doomsday Device
Doomsday is computationally the most difficult deck to play in all of Magic – there are just too many permutations and computations and you rarely Doomsday exactly the same way twice. So when a pilot achieves a good result with it, you should pay attention…
Daily Digest: Eureka!
Legacy is always an interesting place to brew, so when GerryT saw this Eureka deck he knew it was up to something interesting and he just had to explore…
Daily Digest: Back From The Dead
Magic Origins has greatly shifted around Standard and it’s even having a strong impact on Modern as well – but does it carry any weight in Legacy as well? Gerry examines Jace, Vryn’s Prodigy to potentially play for the Legacy portion of the Season Three Invitational too!
