Thursday, March 18th – There were some requests last week for some in-depth walkthroughs of actual games with Legacy Dredge. Instead of scripting game states myself, I have some reports for the last two tournaments I played in. I won the first tournament a few weeks ago, and lost in the semi-finals of the second last weekend.
Thursday, March 18th – A few weeks ago, some judges on a podcast – JudgeCast – answered an interesting question about triggers. They were not exactly wrong, but they did not look at the question carefully enough. They missed something – something besides the triggers. Other judges have had a variety of responses, and there may be no official right answer, but some answers are better than others. Intrigued?
Thursday, March 18th – From 105th all the way up to Simon Goertzen in first, find out who was getting their first shot at fame, who was clinging on to Pro status, who was taking their chances, who had the awesome decks, and who Rich still has no clue about! All the ins and outs of the top tables from the booth and beyond.
Hello folks, and welcome to an article 329 entries in the making. For almost a decade, I’ve been talking about this deck in my column, and it’s time to show it off. Without hesitation, here is my uber deck: Abe’s Deck of Happiness and Joy.
Wednesday, March 17th – Grand Prix: Kuala Lumpur is the kind of event I used to resent: a Constructed tournament with a format different that that of the current PTQ season. What I used to dislike is the extra time required to learn a new format, decide where to position oneself in the metagame, and having to assemble a new deck of cards to play. Life is certainly simpler when you only have to work on one format at a time!
Wednesday, March 17th – Last Friday, I packed my bags and headed out on the open road for Indianapolis, for yet another StarCityGames.com Open weekend. I’ll admit that I was slightly more excited for the Legacy Open on Sunday (because Legacy is awesome), but battling some Standard wasn’t out of the question by any means. If nothing else, these trips are always incredibly fun based on the sheer number of people and places to see, so as one might expect I had high hopes for the weekend.
Wednesday, March 17th – In this week’s edition of MTGCast, the guys discuss the Rise of the Eldrazi spoilers, Corey Haim, foil Bloodbraid Elves, Grand Prix: Kuala Lumpur, and more!
Tuesday, March 16th – Last week I started my series of articles on what I call the Theory of Stock Mana. I am a big believer in starting from the very beginning, and that is what I was trying to do last week. I started with the basics of the concept and planned to elaborate and expound. My mistake was that I didn’t start at the very beginning…
Tuesday, March 16th – Dave explores some inexpensive options for the ongoing Extended PTQ season.
Tuesday, March 16th – This past weekend, Indianapolis showed the revival of decks that want to play more than four turns in a game, with a multitude of interesting control decks showing up at the final tables. This week, take a look at the lists that went to bat against Reanimator, Goblins, Merfolk and the other aggressive, fast decks in Legacy and see how they did it with Engineered Explosives, Thopter Foundry, Gatekeeper of Malakir and more! Also, get Doug’s pick for the hot metagame deck, a potential ringer because of a weakness in the metagame against a certain Mirrodin artifact. All this and more in this week’s Legacy’s Allure!
Tuesday, March 16th – This week we are going to be doing something a bit different. Most of time, this column is dedicated to bringing you insight into Constructed Magic (hence the title), but I do love Limited as well, and I’m occasionally forced to play such formats. Today we’ll be going over Zendikar Block Sealed with Worldwake in the second MTGO Champs of the 2010 season.
Monday, March 5th – Hello again everybody, it’s just past midnight, we’re up late and waiting for some goodness so let’s get to those spoilers. No need for bumpers, there’s Rise of the Eldrazi and we need to see something new and sexy. Let’s go!
Monday, March 15th – What does it mean for a card to be powerful? Is Bloodbraid Elf powerful? Is Vampire Hexmage powerful? Is Thopter Foundry powerful? Is Nettle Sentinel powerful? Each of those cards has been and will continue to be staples of decks that have dominated formats.
Monday, March 15th – A little over a year ago, when I started writing for this website, I actually thought about giving up the game again. My Extended PTQ results were awful, and any time I lost a game while at a PTQ, booster draft, or playing FNM, I beat myself up, badly. I felt obligated to do well as a writer, embarrassed by misplays, and under a lot of pressure to do “something†with the game
