Friday, May 15th – In 2007, Uri Peleg and his Doran-led army took down Patrick Chapin in the final match of the World Championships. With Standard on everyone’s mind, the ex World Champion brings us an intriguing deck that attacks the format on an under-utilized front. Everyone knows that Combo Elves kicks butt in Extended… Can it do the same at Regionals?
Uri Peleg, World Champion 2007, rounds out his entertaining tournament report in style! He brings us five rounds of top-drawer Legacy action, followed by a run-through of the Top 8 from a guy who admits he was just stoked to be there. Congratulations again, Uri… here’s hoping 2008 is a successful year too!
On Monday, World Champion Uri Peleg brought us a rundown of his Standard play at Worlds 2007 in New York. Today, he moves onto his two Lorwyn drafts… wanna see how the World Champion chooses his cards for his Limited decks? Look no further!

Two and a half weeks ago, I received an email which contained the location, date and starting time of the Odyssey prerelease. “There will be an Odyssey prerelease at the 22.9.01, Uri” , the email said to me. “The cost will be… 85 NIS (20$)!” (pause for applause) “The location… Matnas Shenkin, Tel-Aviv, Israel!” (pause…
Let me say that there is absolutely zero relevant IBC or Type 2 or Draft knowledge that can be gleaned from the story of . It is written merely because, well — someone has to know. I won’t let ’s death go unsung, and the only other way to ensure this (except by writing this…
