Friday, April 23rd – Hello everybody, and welcome to another edition of the Magic Show. This week we’re going to be taking a look at the all-stars in Rise of the Eldrazi Limited, what our new Standard environment may look like, address some concerns about the future of the ‘Show, and how a new rumored format may change everything about Extended and Legacy.

The Long & Winding Road – Eldrazi Limited: First Impressions

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…
Yawgmoth’s Whimsy #322 – Semi-big Stuff

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

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.

How do we get Emrakul, The Aeons Torn, onto the battlefield for annihilation? Find out in this week’s Legacy’s Allure!
Constructed Criticism – That’s Pretty Standard

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.
