The 2010 Talent Search Details!
Monday, October 11th – I get a little choked up when I think of everything the game has given me, and it all happened because I entered an article submission contest back in 2002. Now it’s your turn.

Darksteele Cube – You’re My First Pick
Monday, October 11th – Thea Steel got married yesterday! (Congratulations!!) And she celebrated by playing Magic with some old friends, who have been evolving their own cube starting with Thea’s current list.
Innovation, the Double-Edged Sword
Friday, October 8th – Innovation is a double-edged sword. The vast majority of all innovation is negative. But each time you fail and learn what doesn’t work, you get closer to what does work… Adam Prosak provides 6 Standard decklists for your pleasure!
You Lika The Juice? Making The Stand At The 2010s!
Friday, October 8th – Infect… poison… necrotic ooze… sometimes in the wee hours of the night, waking from a fevered slumber, I don’t know if a nurse battling the Super Flu during the first third of The Stand, or brewing something deadly for States.
Draft Video with Matteo – M11 #1!
Friday, October 8th – StarCityGames.com presents its first draft video!!! Matteo Orsini Jones is a high-profile Pro player whose skill in Limited formats has propelled him to high finishes, including Top 8 of PT Kyoto 2009. Watch as he drafts M11 on Magic Online!
Yo! MTG Taps! Episode #41 – Dancing with the Scars
Friday, October 8th – Joey & Bigheadjoe discuss their experiences and ideas for post-Scars Standard!
Thirst for Knowledge – The 2010’s Metagame
Thursday, October 7th – Chris Jobin goes over the four real decks in Standard. Which one should you be playing this weekend at States? What are the four key cards of the format?
The Combat Phase – Scars and the Lucksack
Thursday, October 7th – Scars is a weak set. I like weak sets. I just wish they made more of them in a row. Power creep is a bad thing. The most powerful cards of old are crap compared to cards available in Standard? Really? That seems wrong.
Ideas Unbound – Ready to Explore States?
Thursday, October 7th – Frost Titan is the man. He’s basically Angel of Despair, but you can pick a new target every turn if your opponent has a bigger threat. Combine with Ruinblaster and Leak on ramp spells to make sure that your ramp opponents never get to six mana…
MTGCast #227 – Buck A Ooze
Wednesday, October 6th – Tom, Jack, and Robert bring you a more laid-back episode. Tom’s notes apparently got lost in another dimension.
Embracing the Chaos – Hidden Gems, Part 1 of 2
Wednesday, October 6th – One of the things EDH deckbuilders must accept is that there are more good cards than room in decks. Picking exactly which can be an exercise in agony. Let me add some to that agony by giving you 99 more ideas for consideration.
Constructed Criticism – The Axis of Primeval
Wednesday, October 6th – The verdict is in! Primeval Titan is the best card in Standard by a mile, and it isn’t slowing down. What does this mean for you and your 2010 Championships this weekend? It means you should either be gunning for Primeval Titans, or siding with the Axis of Primeval.
The Bumble
Tuesday, October 5th – Robert Frowney Junior lays down the beats this week during GT’s Sealed Deck event, and what bad timing… Also, play the “Loathsome Disease or Plane/Block Name?” game; guess who’s been paying visits to the GDS2 Wiki?
Black Magic – My Take on EDH
Tuesday, October 5th – Let’s be honest. If Sam didn’t try to break every game he ever played, he wouldn’t be Sam Black. EDH is no different. That said, he does offer advice on how to rein it in for more casual tables. Three EDH lists await within!
Flow of Ideas – The New Face of Fauna Shaman: Darkvine
Monday, October 4th – Last week, I offered up three new decks. However, if the 2010’s were tomorrow, this is the deck I’d play. Not quite the usual cards you’d expect to see paired together with Lotus Cobra and Fauna Shaman, now, are they?
