So we’re about to be smacked with the end of Kamigawa Block, and I for one am applauding.
Well, not entirely. I have a shameful secret… there are some cards I’m actually going to miss. What I’m presenting today are the soon-to-be murdered corpses of three decks of mine that won’t survive the rotation intact. This is something of a bummer to me, because really, these might have been good decks.
Evan completes his entertaining week of video articles with a look back at set reviews past… and some of the hideous evaluations made therein. Warning – This video may cause milk to squirt from your nose. (If you’re drinking milk, of course. If you’re not drinking milk, that’d just be wierd.)
With Grand Prix: Sydney now behind us, Sean takes us through the make-up of the undefeated decks of Day 1. We know that the balmy days of Ravnica multicolored goodness are now behind us… can Sean guide our Limited hands in a winning direction?
Josh is keen to avail himself of a free trip to Geneva, and has climbed off the Gravy Train in order to slum it on the PTQ circut with the rest of us. He failed last weekend, but has high hopes for the season as a whole. Last weekend’s cardpool is presented today, for us to dissect and discuss, alongside some Time Spiral Limited theory and a dose of tournament reporting. Attending Athens this weekend? Or planning to ace a PTQ? Then maybe Josh can help…
Mike has a voracious appetite for Standard Constructed playtesting. Today’s Flores Friday sees the Resident Genius bring us his Top 10 tips on how to thrive and survive in the coming Time Spiral Standard maelstrom. He shares two strong decklists – one U/G, and one more experimental – and waxes lyrical on some of the stronger threats and answers available in the fledgling format.
Ben continues with his all-access look at Time Spiral. In today’s article, he focuses on the Blue cards in the set. Which Blue card does Ben think will be banned in Extended? How do you accurately cost a creature? When is breaking the color pie good, and when is it bad? Find out in today’s article!
Hello and welcome back to the series that investigates most decks in a Framework of Magic that spans a ton of deck types. I am using five Archetypes to classify decks, with a variety of Subtypes underneath each. In this series, I have been closely analyzing the various Subtypes and then including a deck for each to illustrate the idea.
Evan continues his popular series of video articles. Today’s piece sees our Magical Max Headroom take his Rakdos 2.0 deck to the killing floor, facing Izzetron, U/G and Dragonstorm…
Jeroen’s land destruction deck appeared to be the perfect foil to Sean’s Karoo-happy budget offering. That said, Jeroen had reservations going into this match… even if the forum-folk decreed it as an easy victory. When the chips were down, it was anything but…
After last week’s Battle Royale articles went live, the forums were convinced that Sean was doomed to failure in three swift games. While he didn’t quite take down the mighty Jeroen, he certainly didn’t disappoint in the entertainment stakes…
Raphael Levy, extreme Magic Road Warrior and new inductee to the Magic Hall of Fame, presents the first of what promises to be an exciting article series. Committed to scaling the dizzy heights of the Pro Player Club Level 5, he will be chronicling his experiences here.

Ted continues his look at the Timeshifted cards of Time Spiral. Today’s installment deals with the remainder of the pack… Green, Gold, Split, and Artifacts. The Green cards we’ve seen thus far did little to whet our collective appetites – do their Timeshifted brethren cut the proverbial mustard?
Evan continues his series of video articles. Today’s offering sees him leave the comborific Dragonstorm behind him, opting for a more honest deck: Rakdos Control 2.0. He chronicles his choices for all to see, and runs through a sample game.
The problem with teaching yomi is that it’s a skill you pick up via competition and training, where you get better at games with a strategic subset of moves. You learn to recognize patterns, preferences, and tells naturally over time, with the more inherent experience you have playing the game.
But trying to at least explain yomi, and attempting to teach it… it’s worth a shot!
