Yawgmoth’s Whimsy #29: Heaving Over Upheaval
Peter comes up with a G/W deck that could be competitive… But did blue REALLY need a reset button to bollix the metagame? A rant and an analysis of how decks will fail you.
You CAN Play Type I #35: The Control Player’s Bible Part XVI – Why Control Sucks
Good Lord – after sixteen articles on The Deck and how to play it and what the sideboard is and the mana base and yadda yadda, NOW he tells us it sucks? Hey, thanks, pal.
Gemini, Beats, and Junk: Three Decks To Look At Before Regionals
While I won’t be playing in any Regionals events (I think they’re called Provincials around here, though) this year, I’ve still been building up decks for Standard simply because I have no idea what else to do. While I have no real belief that I’m some sort of expert deck builder, perhaps the results of…
CASUAL FRIDAYS #127: Hall Of Fame Tour Guides: The Sailors, The Inventors, And The Farmers
Artifacts and blue get the look-see in the latest update of Anthony’s classic series!
The Casual Report #9: Amateur All-Torment Draft!
Pre-game show: Our group had been planning to try doing a draft. Only Scott has ever done a draft before – so this would be a group of pure rookies, drafting cards. Most of us were looking forward to it as a change of pace. After a couple of failed attempts, everyone was agreed that…
A Healthy Compromise
How does Wizards’ change in policy towards the Magic storyline affect the King of the Storylines? Why not look and see?
Joshua X Presents: Braids And Beatings
It’s been a long time. Stuff has went down. I left my cozy little house, and entered the cold world to run a little Magic store in Leitchfield.
Price of Progress: Pro Tour – Osaka Report
The randomness, the sheer absurdity of this event going on, out of sight, with only a few observers… It seemed like those lucky enough to be passing by at just the right time were being given a gift. At least, that’s what it felt like to me.
Double or Nothing: Countdown
I called up a friend in the middle of the night to ask him:””What has Torment brought us that makes ‘Tog worse than it was?” “Hi, Jim,” was his reply. I forgot that not everybody thinks about Magic all of the time.

Overmaster Sligh
Mike Flores forgot about Millikin Sligh – a deck that’s making a splash at foreign Regionals. Can Bennie find a way to make it more efficient?
Adventures In Nipples: My Nipple-Related PTQ Report
Having been told that he’s already going to lose the Writer War, The Ferrett takes a bold new tactic guaranteed to win the hearts and minds of everyone in the world! Oh, and nipple.
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…
