The Line Between What’s Deserved, And What’s Earned

To say Todd Anderson had an eventful year and an eventful weekend at #SCGINVI would be the understatement of the century! The #SCGPC has a very exclusive field, and he crawled his way in at the last possible moment! What does that much pressure feel like? How do you deal with it?

W/G Humans At #GPDEN

You know, for a two-deck format, there sure are a lot of Standard decks being built and proving themselves all over the place! Don’t stand idly by and let these other decks take away your format! Join Sam Black as he shares a new tale of Standard rogue deck dominance!

Heart Of Kiran, New Ajani, Scrap Trawler, And Dredge!

The Sweat And The Sweetness: Before And After #SCGINVI

Brad Nelson and a few of his friends had a really tough weekend going in. Brad began sharing his thoughts and anxieties before he knew the results of the big #SCGPC storm moved in, and he’s opening up to you about the most frightening few days of his 2016.

The Fundamentals Of A Best Deck

A lot of players thought the format was solved before the #SCGINVI. Now, even more players think this different meta is the solved Standard! Michael Majors doesn’t care; he just wants to learn and teach what a best deck (and the solved formats that often come with it) actually look like!

Hope Is Where The Heart Is

Ross Merriam can’t wait to Aether Revolt this Standard format into a brand new jumpstart! Today he’s looking at the new mythic that has only just reached our collective wanting hands! Will this new vehicle make it? What kind of decks does it go in? Ross starts to brew!

How To Jeskai!

Ari Lax was hanging out at #GPDEN this weekend, nearly Top 8ing with a dedicated control deck! No big deal. We’ve got several more weeks of a supposedly “stale” Standard, but Ari is looking forward to obliterating with this old-school approach! Can this strategy survive into 2017?

Balancing Your Magic Budget

It’s only fitting that the most useful Magic finance article of 2016 is taking place when everyone is trying to save during the gift-giving holiday season! Having trouble finishing your Modern deck? Find yourself struggling to flip your Standard stuff? Chas Andres will help you. Period.

Aether Revolt: The New Standard Begins

Aether Revolt preview season has only just started, but there are already spells poised to shake up Standard and Modern, and it didn’t take long for Pro Tour Hall of Famer Patrick Chapin to begin the breaking! How many uses for these new cards can you unleash?

The Boss VS. Todd: Bant Eldrazi VS. W/R Prison!

The VS Series returns! And just like it happened on Zendikar, the Eldrazi are on the loose in Modern! Will Tom “The Boss” Ross run rampant with Bant Eldrazi? Not if Todd Anderson piloting W/R Prison has anything to say about it! Watch these two #SCGPC competitors battle it out!

Time

GerryT doesn’t think of time the same way you or I might. Today he goes nonlinear with his meditations on “The Fire,” what it’s really like to be immersed fully in Magic for six months, where exactly he’s been the past few months, and the states of Standard, Modern, and Legacy!

My Crazy #SCGINVI Decks

Always on-point for the metagame, never predictable: Tom “The Boss” Ross knows how to win an #SCGINVI with surprise and style! So why is he feeling uncertain going into the big event in Atlanta? Maybe it’s because the decks in this article are almost too out-there for even him to consider…

My Modern Magical Christmasland

The #SCGINVI is this weekend, but Brad Nelson has his sights set on the future of Modern! Why does he think opinion on the format is so polarized? Which card would he like to see come off the Banned List? And which card should get the axe in its place? The last answer will shock you…

#MyNotTop8Cards

A year ago, Players’ Champion Jim Davis set off a storm of discussion on social media with his Top 8 Cards hashtag! Well, out with the good, in with the bad! Which cards from all of Magic’s history would you get rid of if you could? Which spells make you roll your eyes every time they’re cast?

10 Modern Cards I Miss So Much

If you’re a card that was great in Standard or the old Extended days, or maybe you’re just a Modern card that has been obsoleted, listen: Todd Anderson misses you very much and just wants you to come home. If you see any of these cards at #SCGINVI, please let Todd know!
