Monday, April 19th – Day 2 was set. After making the switch to a last minute deck choice on little testing and a frightening Day 1 where two early losses threatened to lock me out of the second day of competition, I had managed to spring my way into Day 2 by winning four matches in a row…
Monday, April 19th – The last two times I played Legacy, I tried two different Dredge builds, and wasn’t happy with either of them. It could be that I’m too used to the Vintage version, but I found that I was struggling with a number of things…
Monday, April 19th – After a weekend slinging with titans, Ferrett makes his pick for Most Broken Card in Eldrazi Limited! Also: Is Rise of the Eldrazi the new Onslaught Block Limited?
Friday, April 16th – Some articles will tell you the latest pro tech to incorporate into your deck. Some articles will tell you how to prepare for a tournament, or reveal the shape of the metagame. This is not one of those articles. I can’t tell you how to win. Instead, I’ll tell you how to not lose.
Friday, April 16th – The Eldrazi invasion is upon us! Players around the world will be getting their first crack at exploring this brave new world in this weekend’s prereleases, and I know I’m really excited about getting my hands on a lot of these new cards.
Friday, April 16th – Hello everybody, and welcome to another edition of the Magic Show. This week we’re wrapping up our Rise of the Eldrazi spoilers with the set now fully spoiled, the prerelease is coming tomorrow, and our new Standard format is on the horizon. Ready for some insight and discussion on some awesome new cards? Let’s go!
Friday, April 16th – Rise of the Eldrazi offers hope by changing the format, but maybe things aren€™t as dire as we thought. The results from the StarCityGames.com Standard Open in Orlando still show Jund as the front runner, but it was not as dominant as it has been in the past. Which decks stepped up to the plate to go toe to toe with the giant and held their own?
Friday, April 16th – Ever had a PTQ coming up in a few days and not been sure what to play or how to prepare with your limited timeframe? This report is for you.
Thursday, April 15th – Every morning for the last week I have been very excited about waking up. I throw off the covers, jog down to the computer, and open up the spoiler for Rise of the Eldrazi. There’s something fun about seeing each new card and thinking about whether it will be playable, how it will be good, and what it will do to the formats it can be played in.
Thursday, April 15th – On today’s epic episode of MTGCast, the guys discuss all things Magical from around the world!
Thursday, April 15th – Rise of the Eldrazi is almost here. Wizards assures us that the format will be slow enough to let us play eleven drops. Really? I looked at my recent matches in both Saga Limited and ZZW drafts. We will be playing 8-15 mana creatures? Just how different is this new set?
Thursday, April 15th – I was pleasantly surprised to sit down at my laptop this morning (technically, I was still wallowing in my own filth, in bed) to see that the entirety of the Rise of Eldrazi spoiler had been posted. Hurrah!
Wednesday, April 14th – Recently, I had purchased some Portal cards from SCG, and I was using my 15-20 minutes of bathtime to ensure that the whole delivery had arrived by checking the cards. While I was doing this, suddenly an idea came to me. What if I built a Five Color deck with nothing but cards from the starter sets?
Wednesday, April 14th – The Rise of the Eldrazi Prerelease is but days away, and by now it should be abundantly clear what this set is bringing to the table: the biggest, baddest fatties the game has ever seen. It comes as no surprise that cards like Emrakul and Ulamog shatter our preconceptions about what is possible from a creature in Magic, and I for one am pretty optimistic about their impact on all aspects of play.
Wednesday, April 14th – Since you’re reading this website, you probably like Magic, and like to be successful at the game. At the top, that means Pro Points, but not all Pro Points are created equal. Where are you most likely to pick up ‘cheap’ Points, and where on Earth does The Hardest Pro Point reside? The answers, or at least some of them, are right here.
