Stuck In The Middle With Bruce
Why does John Rizzo lose? Why does he fail? A thought that might well mean something to everyone who plays Magic.
Welcome To Buehler Block: What Would Your Puppet Be?
Muddy pictures and a contest (with no prize) to name Rizzo’s amazing ferret puppet sidekick. Oh, and he bashes pros again. What a surprise.
Mario Mendoza Would’ve Sure Been Proud…
Rizzo plays against David Williams, Darwin Kastle, Ryan Fuller and Gary Wise at a Neutral Ground Grudge Match!
Y’all Don’t Know Deck
John reveals the secret to his obscurely obscene deck, creates a few theme decks off the cuff, and tells you why he’s glad David Williams is out of the game.
How To Do Better But Still Suck, Even With Help: PTQ New Orleans
Rogue deck designer Adrian Sullivan and classic strategy writer hand Rizzo a deck to help him try and qualify. We’d leave the suspense up, but frankly, the title says it all.

I miss netdecks. Boy, would they make testing IBC easier.
Sexual Chocolate And The 3-5 Conspiracy: PTQ – Nawlins
Rizzo may be indicted for false tournament reports and flagrant lying… But nobody else writes ’em like this. He who dies with the most friggin’ pictures wins.
The Corruption Of Kurt Hahn And Other Assorted Sundries
Why nobody will never ever stop the cheating, a response to the Bennie Smith uproar, and the degradation of the 5 Color format. Film at 11.
I Have No Signed Toolbox, And I Must Scream: IBC At Origins
Toolbox. Toolbox. TOOLBOX! My God, he’s right. Anyway, the usual bacchanalia of photos, random comments, and Rizzo-patented plays.
Enter The DCI
Wizards may not spell it out in the rulebook, but it’s there clear as day: We want it all. And they give it to us, or at least what we ask for.
You Are Now About To Witness The Strength Of Street Knowledge
How long does it take to get good at Magic? Not”crush everyone at the kitchen table” good, but”breeze into the Top Eight and take this PTQ off” good.
