Some Thoughts On Changes To Organized Play
With some key changes to Organized Play announced as of Pro Tour Magic Origins, Adrian discusses the change that makes his personal style of play potentially against the rules.
Complaining About Everything New And You
Mark has been hearing a lot of echoes going around the echo chamber, all of them saying Magic Origins stinks and the cards are bad. But what if the only thing that’s bad is the lack of thought going into forming that firmly-held opinion?
Rising From The Ashes
Magic Origins is set to shake up Standard, and Matt is excited to see it coming – but he also wants to take one last spin with the old format and make Deadly Wanderings finally work out.
Rakdos’s Return
Following up on Jess Stirba’s most recent column for Dear Azami, Abe takes her reader’s submission and works on a rebuild of his own for Rakdos, Lord of Riots!
Daily Digest: Unearthing Some Technology
Monastery Mentor has been breaking out all across Modern in recent experiments, and it’s even found a home in Vintage as a powerful kill card. In today’s Daily Digest, Gerry looks at a deck trying to find it a good home in Legacy, where its spell-triggered token generation is particularly good with Cabal Therapy.
Lowry’s Lists: Magic Origins
Magic Origins is a deckbuilder’s cornucopia, and Anthony Lowry takes a meander through the set spoiled so far in order to find homes for some of the cards that interest him the most.
Twist’N’Tutor
With Magic Origins taking great effort to hearken back to Magic’s oldest days with a few of its cards, Carsten just has to explore how Eternal formats might use these newest analogues to broken restricted Vintage cards.
BBD VS. CVM: Bant Megamorph VS. G/B Dragons

When I Get That Feeling, I Need Heretical Healing
Bennie is all for Liliana, Heretical Healer, and to show his devotion to his favorite Defiant Necromancer he’s building around her in both Standard and Commander!
Daily Digest: Attacking A New Resource
A dedicated land destruction deck is one of the most frustrating archetypes to face off against, which makes today’s deck the ultimate in Modern griefer strategies.
Aiming Your Control Deck
If you want to win with your control deck, you had better know what you’re controlling. If you’re a fan of U/B Control, Adrian shares his latest build for #SCGBALT… as well as looking in detail at the deck’s progression over the past six months.
Standard Sultai, Origins Spoilers & A New Brew? Oh Yeah!
Gerard is a huge fan of control decks, and he looks at how Magic Origins shifts things for his favored archetype as well as what he’s planning to play at #SCGBALT this weekend.
Daily Digest: Standard Zoo
Standard has turned out to be quite an aggressive format in recent weeks, and the potential for it to stay aggressive is stronger than we may realize. Give this Naya Zoo deck a try before #SCGBALT this weekend!
