Thursday, January 14th – Magic is a game of high level decision-making and resource managements, but it is also, at its core, a game defined by making the best decision in the time possible. Whether choosing which creatures to send into combat by pushing them into the red zone of a feature match table or sliding creatures across the uneven concrete in the schoolyard, there is only so much time you can take to make a play.
Thursday, January 14th – I love all colors in EDH, although clearly not equally, since last week’s list was mostly Jund. Jund strategies, which involve mostly savage aggression, are definitely my style, but more subtle and tricksy strategies aren’t lost on me. My original Generals, however, were WUG: first Arcades Sabboth and then Phelddagrif.
In the Dallas/Fort Worth StarCityGames.com Legacy Open, we were once again presented with a fairly open field in Legacy, although Fish seemed to be the deck to expect to see a couple of times over the course of the tournament. More than a third of the Fish decks (5 of 14) in the field made the top 16 so if you hope to be at the top tables, you will want to be packing some answers to the pesky little guys.
Wednesday, January 13th – This week, the MTGCast guys discuss the recent SCG Dallas / Fort Worth Open weekend, casual draft formats, Duels of the Planeswalkers, EDH, and much more!
Wednesday, January 13th – Today I want to talk about the use and value of Planeswalkers in multiplayer. Are they any good? Do they change the game? Which ones are the best? Let’s look at these twelve cards and how they are treated at the multiplayer table.
Wednesday, January 13th – With Extended in full swing, I think it’s a good time to start examining the existing archetypes of the format. Today, I want to look at the different builds of Zoo that exist, how each differs in its game plan, possible keys to look for in both the new set, and possibly old favorites.
Wednesday, January 13th – While all along I had expected to have an additional week to playtest Extended before I played in my first PTQ of the season, it has come to my attention that I will be attending the PTQ in Chicago in just a few days. That being said, I need a deck – and fast.
Tuesday, January 12th – Dave dips into the mailbag to provide more budget options with potential to see play in Extended.
Tuesday, January 12th – This weekend’s tournament in Dallas brought out some old standbys and new decks for Legacy. In this week’s article, Doug looks at the ubiquity of Merfolk decks and the curious choices of the two Zoo decks, along with tips for mirror matches and sideboarding strategies. Find out the newest tech and synergies to get the most out of these top decks in this week’s Legacy’s Allure!
Tuesday, January 12th – I had been looking forward to the PTQ in Atlanta for some time, since it was the first live PTQ of the season. I’ve always been more attached to live tournaments as opposed to online ones, as I don’t think I focus quite as much when I’m at home on my computer. When I’m around other people, I can feel my opponent out.
Monday, January 11th – Unlike some, Rich believes Standard is an incredibly varied environment right now, especially in the cosy confines of the Tournament Practice room. Join him for some tales from the virtual world of Jund filth and mono-red topdeckery. Which is probably not a word.
Monday, January 11th – In celebration of his Enchantress-fueled Legacy win at the recent StarCityGames.com Los Angeles Legacy Open, Lou Christopher brings us a brief recap of his tournament!
Monday, January 11th – For the first Blue Bell Vintage tournament of 2010, I fully planned on playing Tezzeret . Although I haven’t tested much with Tezzeret lately, I’ve tested against it and discussed it quite a bit on my team boards. The night before the tournament, I did some testing with Jeff and Steve, and later with Paul Mastriano, and struggled to win a game…
