SCG Daily – One on One with Sir Cecil
Peter continues his series of interviews with the Great and Good of Magic history.
SCG Daily – One on One with the Goblins
Goblins are fantastic. Goblins are brilliant. Goblins are wonderful. In fact, paint me red and call me Paskins – goblins are the best creatures in Magic. Today, we have a goblin-fest of epic proportions…
SCG Daily – One on One with Academy Rector
Today, the wise and wonderful Academy Rector takes to the red carpet – sorry, the Red Zone – and tells us a little about his life.
SCG Daily – One on One with Morphling
In the first of what promises to be an entertaining series, an extra-special guest interviews the original Tough Guy of Magic… the mighty Morphling.
Yawgmoth’s Whimsy # 136: Conclusions about the Value of Playtesting On MTGO
Peter completes his analysis of the MTGO test-bed. Through thorough testing and examination of results, he brings us the low-down on the relevance of the electronic game in today’s thriving community.
Yawgmoth’s Whimsy #135: How Useful is Testing on Magic Online?
It is getting harder to find new topics that are worth writing about – and, more importantly, give me an excuse to play a lot of Magic. I think I’ve found one, though: I want to see how useful testing in the casual rooms on MTGO can be. Specifically, I want to compare the Casual Play Constructed room, the Tournament Practice room and actual MTGO tournaments with each other, and with real life.
The PTQ Breakdown
It’s Extended season. The metagame is vast and varied, and PTQ attendance seems to be way up. I played in Madison, along with 195 others, and I’ll break down what worked, what didn’t, and what to expect at the PTQs. With 15 decklists, including a Top 8 Reanimator list!
SCG Daily Movie Review Goes XXX
You naughty boys. Peter knows just what you’ve been looking for all week and he finally gives it to you, Mary Poppins style? What in the…
SCG Daily Movie Reviews – Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were Rabbit
Once again, it movie review time. This time it’s a quirky animated piece – Wallace and Gromit: the Curse of the Were Rabbit. I really liked this film, so I’ll zip through the review, then turn it into a deck.
SCG Daily Movie Review: The Sequel
A bit of a switch today. Instead of another review leading to a theme deck, I want to do an actual deck and link that to a movie concept. The deck — and the movie concept — is Sequels, and both can be no end of annoying.
SCG Daily Movie Review: The Corpse Bride
It’s movie review week on SCG Daily. Today’s feature is a Tim Burton special — the Corpse Bride. I’ll review the movie, then create a theme deck based on the movie. The big question: Can the deck be worse than the movie?
SCG Daily Movie Review: The Princess Bride
It’s movie review week at StarCityGames.com, and Peter Jahn will be your reviewer! Each day, Peter takes a look at a classic (or not-so-classic) film and builds a theme deck based around the characters and plot of said movie.
Today’s film? None other than The Princess Bride!
So You Want To Be A Judge
Ever wondered what it takes to don the black-and-white judge’s shirt? The pay is surprisingly meager and the acclaim almost nonexistent… But the satisfaction from a job well done can make it all worthwhile. Peter explains the judging process, telling you everything you need to know in order to start your career as a Level One Judge!
Off the Beaten Path — The Other Decks at PT: LA and Elsewhere
Everyone knows the Top 8 decks from PT LA: Ruel’s Two Color Tog, SWK’s Heartbeat deck, Fujita’s Boros build, Moreno’s Madness Tog and so forth. I want to look beyond the Top 8 – and beyond PT LA – to see what other decks are being played. I’ll even throw in some metagame info from the recent GPs.
Yawgmoth’s Whimsy # 134: Issues and Magic Online
Most writers have a file of articles and article ideas – stuff they’ve put off, or haven’t got quite right, or that they really want to write about when they get time. I was cleaning out that folder and pulled together – hey, who am I kidding? It’s a pile of unrelated topics, including my PT LA, MTGO rants and problems, poker, broken cards and other random topics. Enjoy.
