After last week’s failure at Mimeoplasm and his Zombies, I was itching to get back on the Tribal theme train. I’ve wanted to make a Karador, Ghost Chieftain deck since I first saw it way back whenever I saw it.
Over the past few months, we’ve seen a slew of decks win events. Valakut, Caw, Red, Birthing Pod, and now Solar Flare. Tempered Steel is not on that list, but why is Ari so high on the deck?
Two weeks ago, a 10K event was held in Philadelphia, featuring the Innistrad Standard. The results of that tournament (as well as the top finishing decklists) are brought to you by Pro Tour Historian and Coverage Reporter, Brian David-Marshall!
Who doesn’t love multiple choice tests? Read an entertaining and interactive tournament report from Top 4 competitor Chris Mascioli, who took Mono Red all the way to $1000.
I set out for SCG Nashville with one goal: Play flimsy U/B do nothing control decks in both formats and try to win as few matches as possible. (Not really.)
Matt Elias was durdling after dinner one day when a decklist popped into his head in a flash of brilliance. In this article, he attempts to bring back an old Vintage favorite…
Gavin has some big news to share with the Magic community. You do not want to miss this article! In it, he shares the bucket list of all the articles he would’ve liked to have written.
Cards like Liliana, Snapcaster Mage, and Stromkirk Noble have spiked in price recently. How should you plan on capitalizing on the rising price of Innistrad cards? Also, congrats to Jonathan for making Top 4 at Nashville!
When I initially heard about The Grudge Match, a tournament with three new formats, I knew I definitely wanted to play all of them; there was even a team portion!
Matt Ferrando teamed up with Steve Sadin and Tim Landale at the multi-format Grudge Match in Philadelphia. He put in work on his U/B Control deck, and it seemed to pay off. Check out the deck for States this weekend.
Everyone is looking for a deck to take to States. After examining the metagame from the past two SCG Opens, Patrick has found an engine that can attack from all angles while drawing a ton.
Grimgrin, Corpse-Born is the perfect General for a Zombie deck looking to play with a variety of cool themes like revival, looting, and sacrifice. See how Sean fixes up Ben’s Zombie deck and submit your own for next week!
On October 8, 2001, my first article was published for SCG. That’s ten years ago today! In a celebration of this occasion, I thought it would be fun to have a bit of a retrospective and then write about Magic: The Role-Playing Game.
AJ Sacher made 11th place last weekend in Indy with a deck people have been calling “Solar Flare.” Where does this name come from, and why is it wrong to call the deck by this moniker?
States is the weekend after SCG Open: Nashville, and it looks like the brewing is on full blast. Bennie polls his readers as to which deck he should run between several decks with Necrotic Ooze, Birthing Pod, and Heartless Summoning.
