Myriad Thoughts On Blue’s Power (And How To Fix It)

I do love a good argument more than almost anything else in the world. Alpha Dan May’s article was in fact, originally an e-mail to me, which I promptly wrote a reply to – then Internet Explorer crashed and I instead decided rather than explaining to Mr. May the nature of the beast, I would…

King of the Compost Heap: New Black Control

Shortly after the prerelease, I did what most players probably did- I went home and built some black decks. A few were decent…. But most were pretty lousy. Annoyed, I tossed my Black creations in the dreaded”work-in-progress” box and spent my time testing other colors and color-combinations. Then work in my college classes kicked into…

Welcome To My Overcompensation: The Cliff Notes

Many of you are undoubtedly fans of the writings of … But Mr. Rizzo’s was over a hundred pages long. I just finished reading it, and decided that I could perform a service for those of you with lives – those who simply don’t have enough time to read through his article. Included below is…

The Last Of The Draft: Red, Green, and Lands in Torment

Red I’m surprised that a lot of people haven’t been giving as much love to Red as they have black. Sure, the set has tons of black cards – but just look at the great stuff red got! Reuseable burn, burn, more burn, decent creatures – and hey, it’s ! And then some more burn….
