AuthorJamie Wakefield

Known as the King of Fatties, Jamie Wakefield is revered as one of the greatest tournament report writers of all time. He's been to the Pro Tour five times, qualifying three times with decks of his own creation.

Radiating Luck

Two PTQs, two near misses, four-thousand words of good beats. Wakefield is Magic’s everyman, always striving for the goal and yet rarely grasping it. Thankfully we still get his excellent reports, allowing good and bad alike to live vicariously through the adventures of the King of Fatties.

MODO Learning

I’ve now spent… must be close to a hundred hours on MODO. I just can’t imagine getting back into Magic without this tool. Without a store nearby to play in, it would be impossible. Without being able to test my deck a couple hundred times before Regionals, it would be impossible. Without being able to see what everyone else is working on and how the metagame is developing, doing well at a sanctioned event would be the equivalent of buying a Powerball ticket. And yes, I’m still working on the Elf deck – but that’s not the only deck I’m working on…

Blown Away

I am blown away by the improvements to Green since I have been gone. For you youngsters out there, Green was the color of sharing. Anything it got that might have been good was made horrible by the fact that it shared the benefit with your opponent. These days Green positively rocks.

Redesigning Green

Jamie’s reintroduction to Magic has had a few bumps in the road, as expected. It’s hard to win when your collection consists of five-year-old cards and a few Lone Wolves. Today you get a peak at the evolution of his current Green deck, math problems with Joshie Trash Talker, playtesting setbacks, and much more. Please, come join the King of Fatties as he rediscovers Magic and comes to the conclusion that thus far he’s having a surprising amount of fun.
