Read Open Series Tournament Reports at StarCityGames.com!
Friday, January 8th – I activate the Charbelcher. It’s game 3 in the Top 8 on Sunday, January 3rd, 2010. I am playing against Jeff Lin. He has brought his hand down to five cards looking for a Force of Will to stop the combo from going off on the first turn. I am still able to play my cards, and watch as my Goblin Charbelcher hits the table on the first turn…

The Chump Block – A Few New Extended Ideas

Read Feature Articles every week... at StarCityGames.com!
Friday, January 8th – I know I expressed it last week, but I can’t get over the excitement I feel when looking forward toward Extended season.

Friday, January 8th – One of my favorite cards from Zendikar is Emeria, the Sky Ruin.

Yawgmoth’s Whimsy #308 – New Year’s Resolutions

The StarCityGames.com Open Series returns to Dallas/Fort Worth!
Thursday, January 7th – It’s a new year – time to make some resolutions. I won’t bother talking about mine – like winning a PE, judging more, and getting articles in on time – because those are pretty boring. Instead, I’ll offer a few ideas for anyone looking for another resolution or two. Here are some suggestions.

Flow of Ideas – Building a Better Scapeshift

The StarCityGames.com Open Series returns to Dallas/Fort Worth!
Thursday, January 7th – Scapeshift is a deck surrounded by an unusual level of mystique. As a mythical “one card-combo” in the vein of Tooth and Nail and Enduring Ideal, people immediately began to work on the deck as soon as Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle was previewed. Many were uncertain if Scapeshift was any more than just another tadpole in a lake of gimmicky Extended decks…

The StarCityGames.com Open Series returns to Dallas/Fort Worth!
Wednesday, January 6th – I want to introduce you to an old subject. Today’s deck may need no introduction to older readers of my column. However, the last article I wrote on Equinaut was back in January of 07, three years ago. It’s time for an update on my favorite 60-card deck of all time.
