Mechanics of Magic: Should They Stay or Should They Go?
Pierre rates most of the mechanics that have been seeded through the Magic Blocks, ranking them by playability, complexity, and power level.
Ask The Right Questions
We’ve been given a gift – we know the next set for Odyssey block down to the card. That gives us more time… But can we ask the right questions that let us break OBC wide open? That, and a special editorial apology for the Rizzo Fiasco.
Jedi Mind Tricks
Use something cool as tokens. The best markers I have found are bullets. I picked up a box of .45 caliber bullets from a friend who had sold his pistol and still had the ammunition. Nothing says love like adding another bullet to the table.
Five Articles In Five Days: Green Judgement All-Stars…Plus Gold Cards!
Your cards will NOT balance out, despite what the law of averages might say. Lady Luck owes you nothing, and if pressed, she will pay you nothing. Some good advice in general… And it also includes, for the first time, the GEORDIE TAIT BUILD YOUR OWN REVIEW!
Five Articles In Five Days: Red Judgment All-Stars!
Zvi has Pro Tour experience and a rep as a rogue deckbuilder to review these cards. I can only offer anecdotes replete with”drive-by sack moonings” and tales of urination on statues. Oh, and some ideas for Red deckbuilding.

Five Articles In Five Days: Black Judgment All-Stars And The Quotable Magic Yoda
What if I played Magic like Yoda, the diminutive Jedi Master from the Star Wars movies of George Lucas? I have some ideas on what would happen. I also have some ideas on what black Judgement cards will do to Type 2, but they’re not nearly as amusing.
Five Articles In Five Days: Blue’s Judgement All-Stars
Blue has some good cards in Judgement. (Hand off the keyboard.) Yeah, my reputation is safe. For my next piece of analysis, I’ll talk about how there’s a good chance of instability in the Middle East.
OBC Mono Green Primer, Part The First
Everyone knows that monogreen is dead in OBC, at least for now – I mean, Finkel and the OMSes played it and died horribly, right? But if you look closer at the results and some of the subtle difference between green decks, you may find a healthy deck waiting for a Judgement infusion.

Four games against Stompy are highlighted, and Oscar stomps the heck out of ’em with Pure Control. Hey, one game is even close!
Mixed Knuts: Head Up And Move ‘Em Out!, Or The 2002 Regionals Roundup
