While he couldn’t go back-to-back on SCG Players’ Championship titles, Jim Davis and his team have had an incredible year! So much so that a lot of players are asking him questions about his past and future in the game! Jim opens up for his friends and fans here!
Todd Anderson says you can’t overthink high-powered formats; just jam, baby! He jammed Sneak and Show at the #SCGPC, and he’s planning on jamming it again at #GPLouisville! Will you join Todd or do you have another deck you’re going to jam with?
Would Sam reduce the power level of one of his favorite decks in the name of keeping a format fair? What would he do about Standard and Emrakul? Does he feel Sensei’s Divining Top should be a legal card at #GPLouisville?
Pro Tour Champ Shaun McLaren loves to learn Magic in new and interesting ways! That’s why he’s forced himself to mess with mono-color Modern decks to get an idea of what he’s missing by not having to jump through hoops for his mana! What is your favorite Modern color at the moment?
“This format is bad.” “Ban this card.” These are base level solutions that don’t truly solve anything. Fortunately, Ari Lax has the podium, and he wants to explore and study the reasons things are what they are right now in order to provide Standard with a much healthier future!
#GPLouisville will feature the biggest Legacy metagame we’ve seen in ages! So will Miracles be the deck to beat? Will an unfair Storm strategy smoke the competition? Ross Merriam says you’re way off: There’s an archetype that’s been slowly getting better behind the scenes, and it will torch the unprepared!
Brad Nelson found his way into the Players’ Championship again this year, but something felt very different. Through all his playtesting, his discussion with colleagues, and his own reflections, he now understands what’s missing from Standard! And he wants to help fix it!
Chas Andres loves looking deep into the finance of mostly-forgotten Modern-legal Magic sets, and you love reading them! So he’s providing more of the excellent same here, along with some very strange trends in the post-Christmas card market!
The rights and wrongs of unbans and bans are a lot more deep than just looking at decklists or declaring you want that card that always beats you to get axed. It requires critical thinking and a brilliant Magic mind. Patrick Chapin takes you down the rabbit hole of creating and curating Magic formats in 2017!
GerryT has no sacred cows, but he’s starting to have more and more Sacred Foundries! The #SCGPC may just be the beginning of Gerry’s new love of all things fiery! Join him as he recaps his deck choices for the event and why he’s so excited to Lightning Bolt the universe in 2017!
It’s another Titans of Standard throwdown! Representing yesteryear, Todd Anderson has brought back Mono-Blue Devotion, while Brad Nelson wields the power of W/U Flash! Which of these tricky tempo decks will triumph in the test? There’s only one way to find out!
75×3, baby. Three decks for three formats and Player of the Year Tom “The Boss” Ross to tell you how it felt. He had some strange tech, he was outside his usual fare, but he loved every second of it. And he wants to tell you how sweet it feels to have 225 cards sleeved up and ready to roll!
Patrick Chapin has spent a lot of time with various incarnations of Magic’s most diabolical machinist, and he has two different versions of him to work with for new Standard! If you want brews and analysis, you know that The Innovator is the place to go!
The No-Banned-List Modern experiment continues! Today, Ross Merriam pilots one of the original broken decks of Pro Tour Philadelphia, Blazing Shoal, against Michael Majors’s souped-up Miracles build! Who’ll take down this battle of brokenness?
Todd Anderson has had it with these formats. Enough is enough! Be wary of giving Todd the keys to your tournament Magic kingdom. He rules with an iron fist, and he’s throwing cards out of contention left and right! Would you ban less cards than Todd? Surely you wouldn’t ban even more…
