The Long & Winding Road – Eldrazi Limited: First Impressions

The StarCityGames.com Open Series returns to Atlanta!
Friday, April 23rd – I didn’t realize how long it’d been since I played Limited until I sat down with my packs last Saturday morning at the Rise of the Eldrazi Prerelease. Prereleases are always a good time, and I love me some giant monsters, so I was extra-pumped for this one. After cracking my packs and sorting out the colors, I took a look at the rares and the Eldrazi. Here’s what I had to work with…

Best of the West – Shaping Standard With Simic Polymorph

The StarCityGames.com Open Series returns to Atlanta!
Thursday, April 22nd – The week before Grand Prix: Houston, I was scanning articles on The Starkington Post and saw one that intrigued me: “UK Nats Qualifier *1st* With Polymorph.” Even more interesting was another article immediately afterwards: “UK Nats Qualifier *3rd* With Polymorph.”

Yawgmoth’s Whimsy #322 – Semi-big Stuff

The StarCityGames.com Open Series returns to Atlanta!
Thursday, April 22nd – Last weekend, the Eldrazi finally rose. I managed to play in one prerelease and run another – and I went “undefeated” in both. Good times. I’ll look at my deck and notable cards I faced. I’ll also talk about the cards that confused players, and the common rules issues at the prerelease. It will be relevant when you play at your local launch party.

The Kitchen Table #334 – Rise of the Eldrazi and Five

The StarCityGames.com Open Series returns to Atlanta!
Wednesday, April 21st – Today, I want to review and consider the cards from the most recent set, in light of casual play. Although this article series began – and still wants to focus on – Five Color, it also has space for other casual formats, like Peasant, Acid Magic, Multiplayer, and more.

Thirst for Knowledge – First Impressions of Rise of the Eldrazi Sealed

The StarCityGames.com Open Series returns to Atlanta!
Wednesday, April 21st – Allow me a moment to make something very clear: I don’t like Limited much, specifically Sealed. That doesn’t mean that I don’t like to play Limited, but rather that I’d always choose the Constructed format if given the choice. That being said, Prereleases for me are usually just a formality that I undertake every four months, mostly because it’s kind of a given that all players try to attend and that it’s a way to get new cards before they’re released.

Embracing The Chaos – Kenny’s Deck Gets There

The StarCityGames.com Open Series returns to Atlanta!
Tuesday, April 20th – Like me, I’m sure you were wondering how well Kenny’s deck (last week’s contest winner) would do when faced with other EDH decks that didn’t have similar restrictions. I’m pleased to report that it did moderately well. Let’s dive right into the action!

Constructed Criticism – That’s Pretty Standard

The StarCityGames.com Open Series returns to Atlanta!
Tuesday, April 20th – I hate Standard. I’ll be honest, I am no master when it comes to Standard at the moment, but I do know one thing: Jund is the best deck. It has been written about, blogged about, complained about, and even cried about enough times that I just don’t care to write another article on why you should play Jund and what you should do to beat the mirror.
