Tuesday, May 13th – All I wanted to do was stick Shield of the Oversoul on a Doran. The idea nagged at me, nibbling my ear when I was otherwise occupied. Come on, it’d whisper, build a Super-Doran deck… “But it’s a three-color guy in a speedy format,†I’d offer, “and creature enchantments are rubbish!†The idea continued its coaxing unabated.

Tuesday, May 13th – Tom LaPille is having a week off… in his place, we have StarCityGames Mega-Magic Weekend Top 8 player Gerry Thompson! With a Block Constructed PTQ season on the horizon, and a Block Constructed Grand Prix in the UK mere weeks away, GerryT takes us through an exciting Elemental-themed control deck that has fine matchups against the aggro creature decks in the evolving format…

Today’s So Many Insane Plays sees Stephen go over his choice for the first tournament, and he also breaks down his Top 10 of best unrestricted spells in the format. Do you agree with his assertions?
