Wednesday, May 5th – Hello folks, and welcome to another week here at the Kitchen Table. Today I want to talk about what the relative power levels of the colors are in multiplayer Magic, and which I think are the strongest.
Wednesday, May 5th – This week I am in New York in anticipation of working on Block Constructed with Zvi Mowshowitz, Gaudenis Vidugiris, Jacob Van Lunen, Jamie Parke, Matt Ferrando, and Chris Calcano. I decided the best way to spend my first weekend in the city would be to finish tuning up the Polymorph deck with cards from Rise of the Eldrazi and hit the local PTQs.
Wednesday, May 5th – On this week€™s edition of MTGCast, the guys discuss Rise of the Eldrazi on MTGO, Mythics, Rise of the LOLdrazi, and more!
Wednesday, May 5th – I wanted to do something a little different this week. I attended the StarCityGames.com Open Weekend in Atlanta, but I didn’t do amazingly well in either event so I’m not really going to do a tournament report. Instead, I’ll tell you what I played, what I would play if the tournaments were this weekend, and why.
Tuesday, May 4th – I have been in the brew-house ever since the prerelease and have eliminated some possibilities. I tried some pretty out-there stuff and it was a lot of fun, but nothing really panned out particularly well. I’m going to talk about some of the concepts I tried out.
Tuesday, May 4th – Sometimes you trust your instincts, and this week, my instincts told me to play Zombies. There are brains, and they must be devoured.
Tuesday, May 4th – Congratulations! Just by starting to read this article, you have already taken the first of two major steps in organizing a charity tournament – thinking about it! Regardless what your motivation is, being motivated is the first of two major steps in making a charity event possible.
At the StarCityGames.com Open in Atlanta, we asked a number of the game’s top players what deck they think is best in Standard now that Rise of the Eldrazi is legal. Find out how Evan Erwin, Gerry Thompson, Aaron Wayne, AJ Sacher, Charlie Gindy, and more responded.
Monday, May 3rd – The Legacy market for cards is increasingly driven by speculation and overnight price jumps. This week, Doug tells you his system for evaluating potential profitable cards and how you can use it to supplement your Legacy budget. Find out how to get the scoop on up and coming cards and see for yourself whether they’re hot or just hype. Packed full of real-life examples of historical card profit opportunities, this article will inform you on how to free-roll your next Legacy deck.
Monday, May 3rd – Rise of the Eldrazi is an incredible Limited format. Wizards did a great job with this set. No color feels unplayable, most of the cards you will commonly play against are balanced, and the set gives you the tools to draft a good beatdown or control deck.
Monday, May 3rd – The last time I played Oath of Druids in a Vintage tournament was back on January 3rd. That tournament capped a three-tournament streak with Oath where my overall record was 11-1-5 in the Swiss rounds, with two finals splits and a top 8. It seemed like Oath was about to conquer Vintage, but life suddenly became much more difficult as Dredge, Noble Fish, and MUD flexed their muscle and made life hard for Oath players.
Friday, April 30th – Something about Rise of the Eldrazi has really got ideas churning in my brain for Standard decks. Maybe it’s because Standard has felt so stagnant for so long, or maybe Brian Tinsman and company just really juiced this set with tons of intriguing cards and synergies. Whatever the reason, I’ve got tons of decklists I’m throwing against the wall to see what sticks, and a lot of them involve casting gigantic nightmare world-eaters.
Friday, April 30th – Dave spends an entire weekend playing Magic, eagerly anticipating the release of Rise of the Eldrazi and playtesting for an upcoming PTQ. And, once he gets his hands on those giant Eldrazi, building decks to use them to crush his opponents!
Friday, April 30th – We humans are unique, but challenges are not. Overcoming challenges can be a very lonely road at times. We talk and teach about a lot of things here at StarCityGames.com. Things like expectations, Improvement, Advantage, work ethic, what’s your plan, do this, don’t do that, etc.
Friday, April 30th – Today, I want to talk about Legacy. I want to do so specifically in light of Max McCall’s article, Legacy: Attacking is Miserable…
