It’s a very good deck that smashes mono-black, blows through white weenie, and punishes any number of other classic OBC decks… But there’s one matchup it just can’t beat. Why doesn’t it work? All that, and an invite to get together at Origins!
The usual slew of analyzing cards for the most ancient format – and some intriguing ideas that may change the slant of some classic T1 decks!
Nomad Mythmaker is officially BROKEN!… by Anthony’s readers, of course. So anyone wanna see the deck that one that did NOT include Femeref Enchantress or Crown of the Ages?
What do the Tog decks gain from Judgment – and by Gaw, does a post-Judgment Tog deck truly hurt blisterguy’s pet mono-black deck? Let’s take a looksee.

Crazy decking stories include crazy decks – and a crazy $5 in StarCity credit for sharing your kookiest multiplayer story!

I guess what I’m trying to say is, well, if calling my opponent an”assmaster” in response to his Morphling is wrong in the presence of the fairer sex – then by God, I don’t wanna be right.
How much would your play improve if you could have Mike Turian sitting over your shoulder during a draft game, explaining what he would have done, which cards he considers suboptimal, and what the right play should have been? Well, one lucky winner will get to have that chance….

“I’ve played a similar number of matches in each format. I’m showing improvement in one, but not in the other. Why?”
