Thursday, December 10th – I head judged Wisconsin States – the 2009s – last weekend. It was a blast. A big blast. We had a lot of players – and I have decklists. It’s States from a judge perspective – with decklists.
Thursday, December 10th – Subgames are prevalent throughout games of Magic. No, not the kind of subgame created by Shahrazad, but mini-games within Magic that send the game down another path entirely. When you can set up a subgame you force your opponent to end it or lose, and when your opponent sets up a subgame you need to do the same.

In the past I have created and updated and brought to you various ways of playing Magic. Sometimes you get bored of the same format game after game, day after day. You want something new. That’s why I try to occasionally do something new for you. Today is going to be one of those days.
Wednesday, December 12th – Good people, good times, Top decks, top players, cut scenes, deleted scenes, emotional scenes, behind the scenes. Every format, and the most useful one of all – words. On Worlds.

Wednesday, December 9th – Last week, I spoke about how States is, in essence, a chance to play what you like, not necessarily what is just hands-down the best deck. While that recommendation is certainly very solid, I failed to take my own advice this past weekend at Michigan States.
Tuesday, December 8th – Patrick “The Innovator” Chapin brings us an extra article this week, sharing Standard and Legacy decks, looking forward to the StarCityGames.com $200,000 Open Series – including the SCG 10K St. Louis this weekend!
Tuesday, December 8th – It seems like every deck in Standard nowadays starts out with a hundred-dollar manabase, and just keeps going upwards from there. Is it possible to play one of Standard’s successful decks while avoiding the hefty price tag? Dave takes a look at two high-finishing Worlds decks and tries to cut the costs.
Tuesday, December 8th – With the bounty of tournaments in 2010, including the SCG 10K St. Louis this weekend, Legacy is set to see many cards increase in value or hold steady to already-high prices.

Friday, December 4th – Friends, I am happy to state that it is a fantastic time to be an Elder Dragon Highlander enthusiast. Interest in the format is very strong. Wizards actually mentions EDH games as part of the Public Events schedule at Pro Tours – not to mention its inclusion in the Comprehensive Rules – and it’s become more likely that you can find a few one-hundred-card decks in your local playgroup than not.
Friday, December 4th – When I finished last week’s column, I was feeling really good about States. For the first time in a long time, I had a deck concept I was really happy with time to spare. The last task left was to polish the list, and the grinder of choice was Jund. If you can’t at least have a reasonable shot at beating Jund, you shouldn’t play the deck, right?
