It’s been a while since we’ve seen Mono-Red do well in Standard, but new additions to compensate for the changes to the rest of the format might offer the deck a new lease on life now that the metagame is not fixated solely on attacking it out of existence.
Powerful combo decks utilizing two different combos that attack from separate angles will always give GerryT that warm fuzzy feeling, but it’s especially potent when the thing joining them is a tutor that otherwise optimizes the first combo anyway.
Join BBD and CVM as they test for the Season Three Invitational, bringing back the red beatdown machine and testing the greed level of G/R Dragons by splashing two other colors just to pump up the power level!
The five Magic Origins flip-Planeswalkers are all pretty exciting for Commander, and today Bennie explores a color he’d normally shy away from — mono-white — to build around Kytheon, Hero of Akros.

Killing off creatures is a big part of what Commander is about, people play mass removal there the way Standard players play spot removal. Sheldon Menery concludes his comprehensive look at how to wipe the board with today’s look at mass removal spells that hit all of the things!
As Jim Davis prepares for the Season Three Invitational, he looks back at some of Standard’s top decks from just a few months ago to see if they might be positioned to reclaim some of their former glory this weekend.
Doomsday is computationally the most difficult deck to play in all of Magic – there are just too many permutations and computations and you rarely Doomsday exactly the same way twice. So when a pilot achieves a good result with it, you should pay attention…
Jace, Vryn’s Prodigy has proven itself to be very strong in Standard, but the big question will be whether he can break out into older formats. Michael Majors’s Grixis Control deck may have just proven he can have a home in Modern!
Magic has a way of teaching life lessons that can be applied in other places – and not just in other games. Join John Dale Beety as he shares some of his hard-won wisdom while foraying out in a new direction and making the best of whatever came his way.
