Red I’m surprised that a lot of people haven’t been giving as much love to Red as they have black. Sure, the set has tons of black cards – but just look at the great stuff red got! Reuseable burn, burn, more burn, decent creatures – and hey, it’s ! And then some more burn….
Black Yeah, generally the black is pretty dang solid. The removal is excellent; just plain and downright excellent. The nightmare horrors are interesting, to say the least, and the other spells are pretty strong. There are a few duds (I mean, is a reprint from Homelands!), but it’s generally all quality cards that mesh pretty…
The blue in is somewhere between half and half. It’s not as good as the blue in Odyssey, that’s for sure… But it’s not exactly ‘s white, either. The creatures are all right, with , , and all being favourites of mine. There isn’t much in the way of solid counterspells and bounce, with all…
White It’s not a huge secret that I am, in my heart, a white mage. No not one of the pansy ‘gain life and play with the angels’ White mages. I’m the crusading, teach people to go farm and unleash cataclysmic destruction sort of White mage. Wizards doesn’t seem to like us. This is the…
Opening Impressions is officially out. Wizards has provided us a gorgeous spoiler, with pretty images and all the information on their website. So far, it seems the spoiler provided by Brainburst was nearly one hundred percent accurate! Nice going, guys; I’m glad there weren’t many errors, since I’ve been practising it all this week. Although,…
sounds like a fun idea in principle. You take a set and then you dramatically focus it on one of the colours – in this case, black. Given that I’m one of those people who both enjoys the story and playing Magic, this seems like an excellent deal to me. As Magic became more story-driven,…
Is it just me, or does everyone who look at this card just say,”Those losses aren’t acceptable” and pass it on? I’m pretty sure they do. Given the number of powerhouse sources in Odyssey, can be a very welcome addition to your deck. Replaying , , or can turn a game completely around, especially since…
To see the first part of this article (which was broken up into three parts because it came in at seventy frickin’ pages!), check it out here. Blue Aboshan, Cephalid head dude Well, apparently Cephalids are pretty good at picking out their rulership. It’s hard not to like this guy; he’s fairly large and acts…
When Odyssey first came out, there were a lot of reviews of various elements of Odyssey. This happens with every set. People look at the way the cards ‘look,’ and then go on long diatribes about how much the set sucks, or how much it kicks ass, or what’s too broken or whatever. This is…
It’s funny reading Duarte Fernandes’ article about Black being weak; not because he is wrong, but because he chose to have, of all creatures, a pop up to denounce black. You would think that one of the other colours would get this honour, since White seems to be down in the same rut as black…
The arguments given on the tiered tournament system ring a special interest for me. First, because I am – or really was – a scrub. I do not take pain at the fact that I was never as good a Magic player as I could have been; I enjoyed my time playing Magic, even if…
