Tuesday, February 12th – He attacks, putting me down to two. I declare no blockers, hoping he has no trick, because an Earthbrawn means the end of me… Then again, blocking means that I have no hope, either, since I’d lose a creature. And then I hope I rip a land, since I haven’t touched him; he’s still at twenty. Thankfully, I do rip a land. GG. How? Read on.
I missed out on the Morningtide Prerelease because, well, I had to go to a convention. At this convention, I got to talk to many beautiful women, many of whom gave me backrubs. So I refuse to feel bad about it. That said, I did get down to the release party this… And while I’m a little late to the party, here’s my initial take on Morningtide!
The Ferrett’s second sojourn into Magic Video Technology (TM) leads to a look at legality, morality, and of course the fine game of Tiddlywinks. What are PTQs for? When should one invoke the Dark Side of the Jedi Mind Trick? The Ferrett weighs in on a touchy topic.
On New Year’s Eve, I made a promise to myself: I would follow four very simple rules. Those rules have already raised my Magic play – and in ways I didn’t expect. Of course, when you get an insane deck to go along with it, featuring everyone’s favorite Nameless Inversion recursion engine, what else could you learn from a weasel?
For his three hundredth article for StarCityGames.com, The Ferrett has done something special – he’s ventured onto Evan Erwin’s turf and gone to YouTube! Watch The Ferrett explain, in his own voice, why the reporting and commentary at the Magic Invitational and Worlds was, um… Not good.
I took a cold hard look in the mirror. I’d prepared for this day: a couple of weeks ago, I laid the groundwork by listing my major faults. Now, it’s time to list my Magic New Year’s Resolutions. And at the end of it, I’ll ask the all-important question: What’s yours?
It’s Christmas, and the Weatherlight has turned a little chilly. (At least everyone I saw at the Release Events was going BR, BR, BR.) So what do you do with this older set, and what’s the rule? Tune in and find out!
Not one, not two, but three insane Blue rares, all in one little tidal pool. And lo, it is a crazy good deck piloted by a crazy (if not good) player. But how did it perform… And what terror lies underneath The Ferrett’s Christmas tree?
There is too much good Magic going around the Internet these days. Everywhere you look, there are awesome decks, player-busting strategies, amazing plays and bluffs that just blew the game wide open. Problem is, how many times have you learned from your wins? And so The Ferrett, encouraged by someone else’s admission, discusses why it’s important to talk about awful Magic.
I lost this week due to a grievous misunderstanding of my mana curve. And I have no one to blame but myself for that. It was a good deck; I was the one who let it down. What could I have done better?
For Thanksgiving, The Ferrett LARPed a classic computer game and drove all the way across the East Coast with a trunk full of food… Oh yeah, and played some Magic with a ludicrously strong U/W Lorwyn Sealed deck!
Should someone be admired simply because they’re good at something? To me, the answer’s pretty simple, because I’ve seen “Raging Bull†– a movie widely considered one of the better films ever made. And the question of what Raging Bull is about leads to something that’s a little different than the usual “Joes versus Pros” debate that’s been going about for a while.
The Ferrett gets a sturdy card pool this time around, with a lot of bombs… And for once, he builds it correctly! (Or hey, at least correctly enough to do well in the actual tournament.) Take a look at the sheer power inherent in the system!
A deck stuffed to the gills (so to speak) with potent Merfolk and Faeries! What’s not to love! Well, the results aren’t to love if you get greedy and try to throw in too much! Watch what happens when a good deck tumbles! Film at 11!
I like the fact that Wizards prints good stuff at the rare level. I like the fact that Tarmogoyf is $35 — not Tarmogoyf specifically, but the occasional chase rares that everyone has to have at a tournament. And you wanna know why? Four reasons, and only two of them are business-related.
